Thanks.

All playoff games live.

Won't be going to Brentford on Monday as tickets are for season ticket holder only.

My Brentford tickets should mean I'll get tickets for the final (if we get there!)

Anyone else off to Cardiff if we can get past the Bees?

[OwlsFan]

I hope to go with the missus (what's the shopping like in Cardiff ?). As a Wednesday fan this is a terrible presumptuous question, but what day is the final ? Saturday week ?

1-0 to the Owls with Whelan getting man of the match. Poor quality game but 28K+ in attendance and lots of passion. Nice to see a combative Wednesday team for a change rather than a team of Gerald Sibons or Benito Carbones (wonder what team he's with at the moment).

Roll on Griffith Park next Monday.

Only caught the last 5 minutes but Isaiah Rankin was very lucky to escape with just a yellow card for a disgraceful tackle on Whelan.

Seen Wednesday play us in Oriel park about 10 yrs ago and the Wednesday Irish supporters club showd up...all 10 of them

[The Owls]

We looked good last night,Defensive was in good shape.The one thing i was worried about.Jp was great in the first half,but Whelan had an alround good game.Thank god lucas was fit,cos i would have been at nerves end if that donkey Adamson was in.Roll on Monday!

16 hour round-trip to get to the game but well worth it. Hillsborough was absolutley jumping all around the ground. Was shocked when they announced only 28.5K because I couldn't see more than a handful of empty seats in the home section.

The away end was a different matter now...

I was one of them but there were more than 10 John Coady, who's our local postman, was playing full back for Dundalk that day. I did feel a bit guilty supporting an English team over an Irish one but it was just a friendly. Nice sunny day in Dundalk and I got a picture of the Irish fans published in the Sheffield Wednesday programme.

Good luck tonight boys against Brentford.

Is that the same john coady who played for CHELSEA between 1986-1988?

Personally I'm rooting for Hartlepool (well I did live near there during my brief tenure in England).

Ei Ei Ei O
Up the football league we go!

Well here is hoping anyway!

Come on the Owls - do us proud!

[TheOwl]

We hate you Sunday we do!
We hate you Monday we do!
We hate you Tuesday we do!
BUT WEDNESDAY WE LOVE YOU!

Ps. Thank you very much Portadown!

[OwlsFan]

But then again I remember some Chelsea fans singing "Monday, Tuesday, Who the f*** are Wednesday".

Good performance last night. Plenty of never say die performances although Steve Bruce's son is a woeful passer and panicks when on the ball (one nice run to the byline though).

The price of hotels in Cardiff is a rip-off. Obviously put up for for the play-off week end. Now, to try and get a match ticket.

I also have a soft spot for Hartlepool - the team which has been re-elected to the league more often than any other but I'd sooner face them than Tranmere. I have this nasty feeling Trigger will score the goal which puts Wednesday out.

[drummerboy]

I see Graham Barrett didn't even make the bench. Was he injured?

[Closed Account 2]

I think Tranmere did the double over Wednesday this year.

Certainly did, and beat Hartlepool home and away, Brentford home (lost to them away last month tho) sadly counts for nothing now, thanks to the lottery of penalties.

Good luck, I hope you go up as Hartlepool will be less competition in the automatic promotion race for us next season.

I'm hoping to hear back from the bank this week on whether I have my credit card or not.....but since its AIB i'm not too hopeful of getting it or the my ticket to Cradiff.......need to get to final! We completly dominated Brentford in both legs though and should have run out with an even bigger scoreline than 3-1 agg. Still all we have to do is beat those also-rans in Cardiff and we have the Sheffield derby back again!! Actually if I get my credit card, then SLK I'll book two tickets and you can bring you're Hartlepool scarf and stand in the middle of the Wednesday boys!!

For those interesting in travelling to the playoff final you can fly with Ryanair early on the morning of the game, and then back with Air Wales in the evening for under €100 all-in return.

I'm on the Air Wales flight on the way back but have to fly Aer Lingus to London and get a train to Cardiff because my dad refuses to fly Ryanair - doh!
