Just looking on Twitter at some of the Sheff Utd fans & they’re as dramatic as some of ours were after QPR or Donny. People really need to take each game in perspective & don’t base their entire season on one result!
Just watched the highlights again on YouTube. I’ve watched the Matt Crooks goal over the past two days about 10 times now but it still pulls the widest smile on my face when he passes the ball into the top corner.
Been to my lads football this morning and the 4 or 5 blades fans I've spoken to all said same thing, that we deserved to win, made them look v poor and even with disallowed goal thought it was fair kop, no complaints from any of them.
I've only seen various highlights packages which show their disallowed goal and a replay of the main camera shot but on that I can't see an offside. Linesman's flag was up very early though so clearly there was something that wasn't picked up by the cameras.
Rosenior did let him. He scored a similar one on his full debut under Rosenior. LR believed in him and brought him through when most of us assumed he was nowhere near good enough. Walter froze him out for some reason whilst supposedly wanting defenders who get forward. Bizarre.
It was the original long ball that was called offside. There wasn't a definitive angle and even if there was it'd probably require lines to be drawn to determine for sure whether it was off or on. So unless we want VAR (no thanks) we go with Lino's call. Luckily the 50/50 went our way this time and so did Jacob's goal. I wish people would accept when it's a 50/50 decision though rather than making everything black and white when it isn't. There's too much of this around refereeing decisions and it's partly how we ended up with VAR.
off topic a bit, 8 years ago today (26/1/2017) we beat man utd 2-1 in the league cup with goals from huddlestone and niasse but went out 2-3 on aggregate. playing for us that day were harry maguire and josh tymon
That was a great game. I Ioved this period of supporting City. The way we were playing - anything was possible. Beating Man Utd and Liverpool at home in a few months doesn't come around very often. Just a shame we didn't stay up as I'd have loved to have seen what Silva would have done if he'd have stayed.
An absolute ****show off the pitch made it a bit bittersweet really, but a lot of what happened on the pitch despite all that was very enjoyable. Can't beat sending the inadequate ****s Hull Reds (and whites) home crying!
Some Liverpool fans were moaning on radio that Liverpool under Slot are boring, not like the exciting stuff under Klopp.Still on course for a quadruple and the poor little dears want more exciting football.
Good little YT that... I do wish Pandur would sprint the length of the pitch and join in the celebrations...
I stand corrected it just seemed the players were only allowed in certain areas because of rigid shape and the laboured passing - but maybe that was the cause .
bowen did play in it, but it wasn't his debut. for some reason soccerbase has his name in grey so i didn't notice it. it was indeed the semi-final second leg. bowen had played exeter earlier in the league cup that season and then in five away premier league defeats in which we didn't score. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016–17_EFL_Cup
