Match Thread: Sunderland v Lincoln City

[Snats]

It would be great if we could twist the FA's arm into allowing every season ticket holder to go to the final. There's definitely room inside Wembley to do it safely.

Still in it and I am more optimistic for the second half. I know we have been hammered (metaphorically and physically) in the first half, but I see a few signs of Sunderland easing off the pedal a little bit and I think they will find it hard to keep up the intensity for a whole 45 minutes in the second half, let alone any extra time there may be.

One little bit of magic from from Rogers, Grant or Johnson could turn it around and I would like to see McGrandles on and maybe Bramall to run at them down the left.

Told you so.

The players were the men, I think we're all the blubbing kids.

Its taken me a while to unhook from the heart monitor so I can start Jivin. Conor McGrandles, I salute you sir.

Phew! It's a game of two halves isn't it, mmm?

McGrandles brilliant performance and brought out the best in the others. MOM for half a match.

A far from perfect performance but a significant improvement in the second half. Thank you to everyone involved.

Still shaking. Making consuming this pint a perilous business.

Listening to MApp interview. Hairdryer at half-time, obviously!

Anyone know what the situation is for tickets for the final?

I have aged 20 years this afternoon!

Me too, it was so nerve wracking.

Proverbial game of two halves. Brilliant performance. For the neutral that was probably a great game to watch. But I'm not neutral. Spent first half standing in front of telly shouting. Spent second half standing in front of telly in anticipation. We won the tie. We're in the play off final to get into the second tier. I want to see us there again!
