So how did you feel when they scored the winning penalty?

[Mad Cam]

Not really too bothered. Will be more gutted if we dont get promoted.

 

[Hodgie1979]

Just said "typical" what else can we do ffs...

 

[Monty's Double]

I genuinely thought, we really don't need this before Wednesday's game. Never in my life dreamt I would consider a midweek game at Accrington more important than a Wembley final!

Do you think that's a good or bad thing?

 

[200 Miles Pilgrim]

Not as gutted as when Micky Gray missed and we lost 7-6 on pens in the play offs to Charlton.

Just back home (live in Peterborough)

Thoroughly enjoyed today - superb stadium, 85,000 fans, we played great 1st half - fell away in 2nd but battled really well in extra timeto force pens.

We could easily have won the shootout - McLaughlin dived over the 1st and nearly got the 2nd.

Yes the team has deficiencies - we aren't solid enough at the back (I don't think our wingers can support the full backs when teams get at us and our centre backs are ok but can be bullied) BUT we put on a good display.

Unhappy

 

[Jack Ford]

Honestly

Cest la vie

 

[Ready salted]

I was wishing I was having tea with my Mam.

Me too.

Safe journey home everyone.

 

[Vauxie]

Acceptance this is just the craic for safc

Are you Irish?

 

[bryc1]

Bit of a pisser like but winning our games in hand is far more important

Wasn’t to arsed. No matter how much i tried to hype it up/get excited it was the chekatrade cup...

Took my FIL to his first lads game and he loved it, met loads of people from back home, which is rare, so all in all a canny day regardless.

I remembered that I’m a Sunderland fan and we aren’t allowed good things

And when we do get good things we end up paying the debt twice

this crossed my mind too

 

[stephen cartwright]

Honestly

Cest la vie

 

[Grumpy Old Man]

I'm a longstanding Sunderland fan. Very little I've not seen before. It doesn't have the same impact of my younger days. I was fine by the time I was sat in the Sussex Arms near Paddington having a pint with @Wakey ftm in Sussex (to whom huge thanks as my dedicated minder to/from Wembley )

 

[TravellingMackem]

Fuming at Ross. I consider this loss completely avoidable with competent tactics instead of sitting back therefore am much more frustrated about this than the others

 

[T_Bone]

Nothing. I expected it.

 

[MunkyHeed]

Honestly, it just put to bed the inevitable. We were utter chod from 45mins onwards. Don’t think we even had a shot? How we scored to make it 2-2, I don’t know.

 

[Cox Green Fc]

Just burst out laughing

 

[WestSussexMackem]

No emotion at the time, just wanted to get out of the ground and back home. Then saw loads of Pompey fans who seemingly didn’t wait for the trophy presentation on Wembley Way with the rest of us and felt gutted. Mostly because we’d probably be all still there celebrating even if the trophy doesn’t have much meaning.

 

[Hongkongphooey]

Sick

 

[dangermows]

I thought fuck sake, wish we had lost after 90 mins.
