Blackpool v Oxford

[Vegas Claret]

what a cracking atmosphere the Blackpool fans generate

[Vegas Claret]

Lashers 0 Oxford 1
3-0 from first leg so still plenty for Oxford to do

[Fretters]

Bloody hell, the comeback is on!!

[burnmark]

1-0 Oxford. Exactly what the tie needed.

[tiger76]

Gives Oxford a sniff at least, still a big ask for them to complete the recovery though.

[burnmark]

1-1. Game over.

[Vegas Claret]

quality strike

[Local cricketer]

Good Karl Robinson was very bitter the other night. Was that angry about something he was slavering

[burnmark]

2-1. Blackpool

[tiger76]

I think the donkey lashers can start making their Wembley preparations now. What a mad opening period.

[XDS]

The applause for Jordan Banks, so emotional, really touching

[Fretters]

That's Blackpool up now. They don't lose play off finals.

[Bcrollerz]

Singing your f king s hit for 10 mins solid
What an atmosphere

Horrible sh!te house fans are Blackpool

[JanetM]

Just what I was thinking BCrollerz

[Bcrollerz]

Horrible sh!te house fans are Blackpool

Horrible place

[tiger76]

That's Blackpool up now. They don't lose play off finals.

They're certainly the team in form right now, and whichever of Lincoln or Sunderland meets them they'll be in for a tough game the way Blackpool are flying ATM.

donkey lashers v horse fiddlers is the championships big 'derby' next season then

Sunderland have bottled it all season
My 2nd team and i saw it coming a mile off

Lashers, Fiddlers and Nobbers...who'd a thought it, all playing together.

[Vegas Claret]

2-2

[Vegas Claret]

and immediately 3-2, Oxford are a shambles

[tiger76]

Sunderland have bottled it all season
My 2nd team and i saw it coming a mile off

If orange is the new black, then Sunderland are the new Derby,

[Vegas Claret]

3-3 Dan Agyei with the assist

[ClaretTony]

We are just hearing the chant that I thought was the Nazi Sieg Heil last time we were there. Apparently it’s Seaside.

[tiger76]

Too little too late for Oxford, but it's been a cracking tie, well done to Agyei for his assist, but sadly for him he'll not be walking out at Wembley.

[ClaretTony]

Agyei has made 52 league appearances for Oxford in two years but only 12 of those are starts.

[tiger76]

Agyei has made 52 league appearances for Oxford in two years but only 12 of those are starts.

Surprising because he's got the ability to be a decent League 1 player, and even in his brief cameo tonight he's displayed he can impact a game.

[ClaretTony]

Stroud hasn’t improved as a referee has he?

[Bcrollerz]

Husband

What a horrible man

[Gordaleman]

Well done Blackpool. Now let's see if Morecambe can join them.

[Vegas Claret]

Stroud hasn’t improved as a referee has he?

I genuinely worry about football at the moment, the lack of quality referees is as low as I can ever remember. I know it's a tough gig though and I'm not sure what can be done to help them (especially as VARce is only in the PL)

[Local cricketer]

Well done Blackpool. Now let's see if Morecambe can join them.

I hope they do for Derek Quinn’s sake

He used to be in the Premier League but was demoted.

[bfcjg]

After what they went through with the Oystons I think Blackpool really deserve a bit of good fortune.

Fully agreed.... and I'm surprised their fans are being slated. Always a good atmosphere against them and so glad they got rid of The Oystons.

Stroud hasn’t improved as a referee has he?

Tony --he is and always has been a hit or miss referee.
i thought that he was OK tonight and tried to let the game flow as much as possible with tackles going in, as you would expect in what was really a semi-final. He took action when he needed to and was not silly in issuing cards just because a player rolled around a bit.
That game tonight, with a PL referee in charge and VAR, would probably have endded up with dismissals and more cautions whic hwould have been totally unnecessary.
Stroud will not improve --he has been around too long.
