QuoteIt doesn't say much for the captain that he allowed himself to be overruled by a kid who's only on loan at the club.
Yeah Rosler said he had selected Kevin O'Connor to take the penalty. To be fair to Trotta he had scored one two games ago so obviously fancied it.Originally Posted by shakermaker1982
It was an amazing end to the match. If it was an episode of Dream Team I would have said it was unrealistic!
Hopefully Brentford will still make it up but that was a tough one for them.

Wrt Palace, what's the story with Garvan? He has barely featured under Holloway despite a half-decent start to the season.
Garvan's been out since January after picking up a knee injury in training. He was on the bench against Blackburn at the weekend, his first game back as far as I'm aware.

You still live in hope for Garvan!
Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.
I'm trying to limit my losses!
He started tonight. Palace haven't won in eight games so it's a good opportunity for him to cement his place and hopefully they can do something in the playoffs. At the moment it looks like Brighton will be their semi final opponents.
I shall be switching my phone off at 12.45 tomorrow, then off to play a match and return to watch the taped version of Sky sports programme that evening.
Jeff Stelling: "There's been a late goal at Hillsboro but which way has it gone!!! ???"
Ian Dowie: "Scott McDonald has just won it for Middlesborough Jeff with one which he scuffed off his backside on to the crossbar back on to his testic*es and in off the inside of the post. One nilllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll".
Sigh. Didn't realise Peterboro were owned by an Irish whizz kid until I heard his interview on RTE Radio last night. Doesn't make me hate them any less.

Wow, mad stuff at Hull. A penalty to seal promotion on 93 mins and they missed it. Cardiff get one seconds later. 2-2. Now it's over to Watford which started 15 mins later due to injuries. One goal for Watford and Hull are in play-offs.
McShane golden moment taken from him. Brady looked very good. Meyler so-so.
Owls Fan, McAnthony is a toe rag I hear.
It wasn't a Jimmy Glass glory goal for McShane but still a major one, it got them over the line.
Would Brady have taken that penalty had he been on?
A relaxed game for Sheff Wed fans as they eased their way to safety, those jars of squeaky bum cream can be saved for next season (unlimited end date batch, I presume).
I have an endless supply of the stuff from a Chinese counterfeiter in Beijing.
I came home at 6.00pm after my game having had the phone off and started watching the Sky recording. It was relatively comfortable in the end but at one stage both Barnsley and Peterboro were winning so any slip up could have been disastrous. The Sky team don't have make it exciting and with the twists and turns it was. Steve Bruce said the 15 minutes where he had to watch the remaining part of the Watford vs Leeds game were the longest of his life.
The Wolves relegation was a big surprise. In fact both Bolton and Blackburn also dallied with the relegation zone for a while. Blackburn would probably have been relegated if they hadn't signed Justin Rhodes. Relegated teams are usually stripped of their best players. The three teams promoted (Sheff Wed, Huddersfield and Charlton) all survived because their teams are usually strengthened.
The teams coming down so far (Reading and QPR) wouldn't worry me too much and the teams coming up, assuming Sheff Utd, don't get through the play offs, aren't big clubs so hopeful that all to play for next year. I am glad Forest didn't go up following the disgraceful sacking of Sean O'Driscoll. Ipswich under Mick, based upon his results, may be pushing for promotion but he will need some investment. All far more interesting than the Premiership where it is same old, same old (the last 2 minutes of last season aside).
Stutts, I don't really know much about McAnthony except he is a Celtic Tiger cub. Peterboro are back where they belong.

Was he the RTE 2 DJ?
I don't know much about McAnthony other than made a mint developing property in Spain. That's not what I hoild against him mind you, it's rather that I've heard he's a tool. Which could be completely wrong! Maybe being close to Baerry Fry has framed my opinion. too.
Crafty might know more, being from that area. Crafty?
SKY did a great job yesterday afternoon alright. I didn't realise the Watford keeper was Irish. He'll have some big games coming up unless Aluminium gets fit.

Despite being Hull rivals, I heard on R5 Live today that Leeds fans were singing "Yorkshire, Yorkshire...". Great stuff.
Kenny Jackett has quit Millwall, I think they might struggle without him next season.
I don't honestly know Stutt, other than the Posh fans around here seem to have good time for him.
Owlsfan, re your comment about Peterborough being back where they belong, I am surprised at you to be honest. Why ?
I am not a Posh fan but I live twenty minutes from the ground and watch them half a dozen times a season, I was there recently when they played and beat Wednesday with McCann, Payne and Pritchard in midfield, all small men, all footballers, good to watch and they played proper passing football all day, and indeed all season, I consider that brave in the league position they were in, and in that division.
I think to say they deserve to be gone to L1, having gathered 54 points (a new & unwanted record) with a side largely drawn from lower leagues, by having an eye for a player and coaching improvement in him while he finds the level, something that was done in several cases at the club this season and not abandoning their footballing principles despite losing their first seven games, (and having their best player cherry picked by Hull) is a little bit ignorant and perhaps ill an informed comment by you.
In that game against Wednesday, Jones sent out a side of six foot plus, muscle & bone merchants who didn't put even five passes together all day, or attempt to. It was anti football. I know as a neutral who I'd rather watch anyway.
Said in the heat of the moment. Peterboro are as much deserving to be in the Championship as anyone else. With Alex F not stepping down as Man U, loan players won't be coming Peterboro's way as much anymore I suspect,
Wednesday played physical football - not sure I'd describe it as anti-football as there are many ways to skin a cat. I agree they find it hard to string a few passes together so they relied on hoof ball.
Wolves manager sacked. DOncaster manager resigns (albeit going on to be director of football) after he gets his team promotion. It's a funny old world.

Dean Sanders is unlucky to get the sack, he got Wolves out of a very difficult league.
Anyway, I never got around to talking about Jeff and co on Saturday.
What a thorughly absorbing afternoon. It did help that a lot of teams had a lot to play for. But it was great entertainment nonetheless.
I was delighted that Hull got promoted for our sakes. Brady and Meyler as regular fixtures in a EPL team is a great thing.
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
Never hit the heights of his brother.
Actually delighted on several counts that Wolves were relegated. But I've always hated Saunders. I wonder who will take a chance on him now?
DID YOU NOTICE A SIGN OUTSIDE MY HOUSE...?
And McShane....?
As a non-Sheffield native, I was disappointed to see United lose their umpteenth play-off as the Sheffield derbies play second fiddle to very few other derbies. I think there was an attendance of 49k at one in the old 3rd Division. However, not all in Sheffield feel the same way:
