Play-Offs

I didn't think we would do it, and it really came down to Gateshead having a total mare at the end of the season. 10 games ago it really wasn't looking possible on our run of form. But we found some form at the right time, so roll on next Thursday!

I have a dream ...

That some of those old North Bank/PAK boys might be able to don their old butcher's coats for the semi-final with Forest Green Rovers.

Brilliant!

Fair enough, but to put it in some perspective. Gateshead lost 10 of their last 13 matches. Without that colossal blow up we would not be celebrating tonight. We will take it though as the whole club deserves a break after last year.

True. But they did. We could also have scored one today and gone ahead of Halifax too.

99 actually. He added a minute at the end of the 1st half.

@londonblue I'm glad you've picked up on that. I've never understood why the added on time from the first half is never factored into those 'stats'.

I didn't have one, but if I did it would probably fit like a waistcoat now!.

I did think it could be a tall order for the more well-girthed older boys, Tone - that's why I used those words "might be able"

I had one Rob, as a young lad. It had the customary standout players names on in biro and felt tip. Also things like S.U.F.C, The Pak, Seasiders, The Southend North Bank, etc, etc. Obviously Billy Best was on it the most. Billy Best, Billy Best is King, King Billy, etc.

An alternative view is that we (Southend United) had just turned one of those draws into a win then we (the fans) did not need to suffer for 98 minutes in Gateshead today ...............

I'd have preferred we won them all if we're re-writing history!

 

[WhiteNoise]

Can we register Adam Barrett in case it’s goes to penalties?
