    I've just seen it for the first time: Keogh absolutely sold himself for the first goal. Very rash decision to go to ground. He could have stayed up to make it harder for the goalscorer.

    He did the same thing when it was still 0-1. It gave Fosu time and space to pick a shot and he arguably should have scored.

    Your schadenfreude towards Keoghs performance is disgusting.
    I like high energy football. A little bit rock and roll. Many finishes instead of waiting for the perfect one.

    Bump the League One playoffs starting tonight. Preston v Chesterfield is on SS1 - Alan Browne unlikely to feature for Preston but Jay O'Shea and Jimmy Ryan should feature for Chesterfield.

    Sheffield United v Swindon is the other game - Michael Doyle and Anton Rodgers on the benches.

    The Preston manager is evidently not a Browne noser.

    Not sure how Chesterfield managed to lose that. Total domination. Jimmy Ryan played the whole game and Jay O'Shea 87 minutes.

    Barry Corr smashes a penalty against the crossbar 7 minutes into second-half stoppage time. It remains 1-1 between Southend & Stevenage and goes into extra-time.

    Cian Bolger, Michael Timlin & Corr started for Southend. Stephen McLaughlin came off the bench. Gary Deegan remains on the bench. With a strong Irish contingent, Southend are the team to favor in this leg, but Corr has missed the chance to make himself a hero.

    Can only be described as disastrous for Irish football.

    Stephen McLaughlin making some impact off the bench. Barry Corr faltering up front.

    Remains 1-1 with Southend on the front foot.

    I enjoyed the game particularly because of the Irish interest. For a big man, Corr has excellent feet (despite missing the penalty). Mind you he played back in the day for Wednesday and never managed to score. Just lacking the aggression and physicality of a Tony Cascarino to have made it. Bolger and Timlin were excellent.
    Forget about the performance or entertainment. It's only the result that matters.

    Hoolahan starts for Norwich. Chambers & Murphy start for Ipswich with the two Hunts, Tabb & McGoldrick on the bench. Kick off at 12:15

    *Wes scored a penalty to go 1-0 up. Score is currently 2-1 to Norwich

    That's Norwich through to the final. Simple now: Norwich and we'll have extra Irish involvement in the Premier League; Middlesbrough win and we don't.

    And Middlesbrough are horrible to watch. The two best teams have got to the final though to be fair. They were the two challenging for the automatics while Ipswich and Brentford scraped into the playoffs. Nice penalty from Wessi. Tabb at fault for third goal.

    Murphy, McGoldrick, Tabb and Hunt won't be getting promoted. Disaster.

    On the plus side, there should be a few opportunities in the Championship for young lads like Connolly and McDonnell. Slight chance of McGoldrick and maybe Murphy getting a move to the Premier.

    Some might say it's the death knell ringing for the Irish international team.

    Hehe, I sense a subtle hint of sarcasm, but I was disappointed. Whilst those lads are peripheral for us, it's good to have as many eligible players playing at the top-level as possible and Mick is always keen to bring in Irish players wherever he is. Would have been good to have him back in the Premier League.

    Southend go up in dramatic style. Barry Corr is a doppelgänger for Olivier Giroud. Cian Bolger is a giant. I'd say he has a great physique but that raised a few eyebrows last time I said similar. Timlin scored a tidy penno, Bolger nailed his.

    I didn't watch all the game. Heard McLoughlin mentioned but that's all.

    Graham Coughlan is Brown's number two I think.

    Both managers watched the shoot out together. Nice touch.
