Last minute winner

[Leeboy]

Would love it to be Bonne

For the reasons stated by Yorkie above Bridge makes a lot of sense

But I also think it is written in the stars for Gus - when he went up to take the last pen I said to my boy and mates it just HAD to be him, as he's very much the current Southend poster boy

 

[Jacob Sladder]

Kevin Maher.

Picture the scene - he picks himself as a sub as the fringe players have gone ill with food poisoning. It's 1-1 in the 89th minute. He looks at the bench, no-one wants it.
He motions to the ref, I'm coming on.

The ball comes to him on the edge of the box. Takes it on his chest, with one touch he dummies the incoming defender, and knocks it in the top right bins. Imagine the scenes.

Can I just check - is Kev defending in his own box at the time, or is he on the edge of Oldham's box?

It's 90+6mins (of 5 mins added time) and we have a corner. It is clear this is the last kick saloon.

Kev decides to go for it and tells Hayes to get up there.

Corner cones in, 'keeper punches clear, ball hits has on the noggin, bounces off, and goes in.

 

[South Bank Hank]

Gubbins from the penalty spot with his absurdly good technique.

Bentley’s absurd gait played a pivotal role in previous promotions so why not Gubbins’ absurdly good penalties.

Hmm... there's an echo in the room (see #4).

What's the chances of a middle aged overweight Southend fan running on the pitch and scoring a diving header (as they trip over) and the ref giving it ...

 

[Barling Magna]

GSM, crowning a great season for him.

(Please don't knee him in the head again though Cricko....)

I wouldn’t run on the pitch.

 

[damien]

Goodliffe. He then whips out a table and a pen and signs the contract on the pitch. Old school.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Jamar Loza

 

[damien]

Or Husin so I can hear he hates the taliban ring around Wembley from c25K bods

 

[Whispering Bob]

I think Gus. It's written in the stars for him this year. Statue in the High Street for him if I'm right .

9/1 to be the last scorer.

 

[Whispering Bob]

Agree with Yorkshire Blue, I think it has to be Bridge as the one who's been through the bad times more than anyone else in the squad. Or Ralph.

16/1

 

[Whispering Bob]

Absolutely anyone!!

But Bonne would be something special.

17/2

 

[Leigh_Seasider]

I wouldn’t run on the pitch.

I might, after a dozen cans of Special Brew. Joking .. if any Wembley stewards are reading.

Oh!

 

[in the know]

Bonne for me.

 

[Tommy2holes]

GSM with the overhead followed by that grin and pure carnage in the southend end

 

[bazzashrimper]

One of the players who went through the mire with us. Probably Ralph as he was part of it all for longest.

 

[Magnum PI]

Jack Wood. Squad goes down with food poisoning after a Karl Duguid family barbecue on Saturday. Beau McDonald called back from loan with the assist after Jaakola saves a late pen.
