Just recovered from that ending and I wasn't even at the match!!

Thanks to a totally unnceccasry meeting at my Frimley HO, I was on the motorway, travelling North for all the match

Of course I had the T&A live updates nicely positioned on my tablet (yes, I still had my eyes on the road)

So the journey was going smoothly until 3-2 and from that moment on I might not have been concentrating very well (thank goodness for pilot control!!)

The fun starts as I agonisingly watch the minutes tick by and then Parker has to announce that they've got a penalty and then of course it's 3-3. At this stage it's important to know that I was just coming into range of The Pulse, as I pass Rotherham

I then switch over, the radio in a rage at another two points needlessly dropped and get it confirmed by the 5Live that we'd drawn 3-3 - they announced it as a full time score

Now annoyed with them, I switch back to a poor reception Pulse to hear Thornton going bonkers, but note, it lasted about five second. Me thinks "WHAT THE FRIG ARE THEY PLAYING PAST CLIPS OF GLORY GOALS, WHEN WE'VE JUST THROWN AWAY A WIN!!!!"...........................UNLESS THE BEEB WERE WRONG!!!!! but surely not as even they wouldn't have committed such a howler . Then again the Pulse commentary sounded weird -why would they play an old commentary at the final whistle"

Agonisingly the Pulse reception has totally gone and comes back on with adverts, then goes off again etc (at this time I'm going past Barnsley). Worse the T&A updates aren't updating either - it still says 3-3.

Nervously turn over to the Beeb, to be told it's 4-3!!

Heart and blood pressure returned to normal!!!

Up the bantams!!!

 

You've clearly been watching the whole season with a blindfold on then.

 

Southend fan here.

Just seen the goals. Thought you had "thrown it away" at 3-3 .................. what a great come back! Can't believe that the first goal was credited as an own goal (interesting for me that both Grant and Payne are good ex-Southend players). That result could mean a lot .......... a result at Wycombe is needed to!

Brings you right back into the mix - my word, is it tight down there. Good luck for the rest of the season.

 

Argument for a free kick to us there.

FFS I've read some drivel in my times and had to put up with listening to inept opinions, but criticising O'Donnell as a persistently poor player takes the frigging biscuit.

 

Akpan is dog shite? Really?

 

]

He set the tone with his penalising of Akpan with the first tackle of the game, incidently a perfectly legal tackle. Piss poor refereeing for most of the game.

 

Whatever Ball wants just double it and stop arguing with him

 

Here we go, enjoy!

A number of our fans got on my t*ts tonight. Woods had a decent game, although maybe the standing ovation was a little much, but I found the audible moans and groans as Chicksen ran onto the field disrespectful and embarrassing. Same thing when Doyle was walking off.
However, worse than all that, I missed Balls goal because of people passing in front of me on their way out. It was 3-3, we are in the final 2 minutes and attacking their box......FFS where are you going?

 

Give over...!

 

Great seeing how much it meant to the players they all really celebrated together like it really meant something.
Get In !!

 

Well just got back and bloody hell what character from the team to bounce back from what could have been a very dispiriting goal making it 3-3.

When we got the ball down and made short incisive passes we tore them apart.

Ball MOTM by a country mile.Loved it in 2nd half when he took that pass in his stride and played it into the box with the outside of his boot and took out most of their defence. Pure class.

Akpan is improving game by game. Never a free kick for their 2nd. But a good strike by their lad nonethless.

Get some new signings and something at Wycombe and things could be looking much brighter.

 

That was embarrassing....for me, cursing life and everything in it and Bally does that! It was like winning big on the lottery,losing the ticket in the fire and while I was in meltdown Bally retrieved it!

A lifetime supporting Bradford City should carry a health warning.....

 

May I politely suggest that it appears that you are talking bollocks, judging about other people’s comments on his performance. The frustration with him is that he hasn’t performed all season like he has the last few games and we want consistency. Consistency is what makes an average player a good one, especially in the position he plays. If a holding player plays bad you are in trouble as a team. I’m always mystified about how people can judge a performance chalk and cheese unless they go to a match with stubborn pre conceptions.

 

Smashed my phone screen when they equalised. Went mental when we got the winner. Huge win but really shouldn’t have got to the point where we needed a last minute winner.

 

9 o'clock barbers in town?

 

When Ball bags the winner Check out Caddis’s celebration of relief after giving away the pen

Love it

 

Have you watched the free kick back?? There is no way he's saving that, infact I doubt many decent keepers would save that. You have to admit sometimes that it's an unbelievable goal. As for the 3rd, sh*t happens. He's booted it 35 yards it's then up to our midfield/defence to sort it out.
I think you're looking for an excuse and O'Donnell seems to be it. He's saved us countless times this season, pretty sure with some of our shambolic defending that if it wasn't for him we'd be rock bottom.

 

I thought he played well last night. Didnt get to Burton but played like a man possessed apparently. Just hoping hes beginning to turn a corner now and finally getting fit under McElone. Hes playing with a bit now of intent although admittedly weve not seen the best him this season. I certainly wouldnt be ready to get rid just yet, not when weve got grade A dogsh!te on our books we need to jettison first

 

This is a quality view of Balls goal yesterday!
