24 hrs later those Wembley seats are all warmed up again. Leyton Orient are 2 -0 against Rotherham at HT after two quick goals. The first by Odubajo reminded me a little of Zamora's yesterday. The commentator (BBC don't show it) indicated that he picked the obligatory yellow card card for excessive celebration (took off his shirt). I see Zamora also got one yesterday - hate that silly rule - why did Lee Mason even bother so late in the game? Bit daft too for a player to put himself on a yellow card after just 34 mins - makes any later mistimed tackle a potential red card. please log in to view this image BBC Sport's Rob Stevens at Wembley: "That was Moses Odubajo's 12th goal of the season and the 20-year-old won't mind picking up a yellow card for his celebration. That could be the most important goal of his young career." I wonder if Rotherham will bring on Tom Hitchcock for the 2nd half to try and win the day with another one of his hat-tricks? Really no reason not to roll the dice, although he has largely been shut-out in their recent games.
Would you believe it, in true Wembley tradition, Rotherham have just pulled back to 2-2 after two quick goals by Alex Revell (ex Orient). Keeper was at fault on both goals - first was scrappy but his second was a wonderful lob. .....and Odubajo was lucky not to pick up a 2nd yellow after a bad foul - ref just gave him a strong talking to. Game on now, should be an interesting finish to this match.
So ET it is - so glad we didn't get to experience that yesterday as our 10 men would certainly have been carrying tired legs.
So penalties it is - late in our match yesterday, I thought surviving ET with 10 men, then winning on penalty kicks was our only winning option.
Bit gutted for orient there, they looked quality! The more London clubs in the top 2 divisions, the better
Scottish Premier Play-Off has gone to extra-time, Hamilton, who lost 0-2 at home in the first leg against Hibs won the 2nd leg 2-0 with a goal in the 3rd minute of injury time. If Hibs lose both Edinburgh clubs will be out of the top flight for the first time...
So it is written - Hibs really really bottled that match at home. Sad day for football fans if you live in Edinburgh. Michael S Weller: "Scottish Championship will be fascinating next year. Imagine if NY Yankees, LA Dodgers, and SF Giants all went to minors?" ChillScot: "I felt a great disturbance in the Force, as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, and were suddenly silenced."
