Not been for two years, blagged a ticket, they missed that pen and within seconds I found myself on the pitch.....we didn’t play very well for parts of the game but I loved it just loved it....last time I celebrated on the pitch was 1974 when we beat Preston to get back to the second tier.....I wonder, I just wonder...
That was my first season. I was there for Preston. Felt unreal, and so does tonight.
Best team on the night lost. We need to watch that and learn. Williams was very lively. Good advert for Div 3 football. On our game we can beat anyone. Tonight proves we are not always on our game. Glad we won but Donny can feel very proud.
Simply wow, i'm physically and mentally exhausted so god knows how the players will feel in morning. Cullen has one hell of an engine.
I really though it was only going to go one way when they scored to take it to extra time.
I was saying at half time we should go to a back 5 as we were getting over run so was pleased when we did and Pratley was needed, thought he was MOM 2nd half onwards.
Felt sorry for Naby as it wasn't a bad penalty, was all set up for him this season to be the hero, but thankfully it didn't matter.
Great scenes after, and at London Bridge, Donny played well but inaging that journey home for them now, brilliant night and one I will remember for years to come...get in!
We were second to the ball on most occasions, and never played the simple pass, which directly lead to there goal in extra time. The players were very nervous and it showed.
Have never experienced emotion like that at football not even 1998. Amazing to go on the pitch for the first time since 1982 and after the Bolton 4-1 game. Respect to Doncaster-they were the best team to play at the Valley all year and deserved their win, Allex Allez Allez...I'm totally emotionally drained and knackered but isn't football wonderful on nights like this. On the pitch with all my family on a night we will never forget.
Why oh why Bowyer has changed it to this silly three at the back: yes I get it, he wanted to nullify their wingers. But it did not work second half last Sunday or tonight. Left Taylor on his tod and invited constant pressure.
Second half you could see it clear as day.
Anyway over the moon and thank fck we are there. Let’s hope that’s our bad performance out the way.

A night of high drama and a triumphant outcome - but we were PONY after the first 10 minutes. Defensive, edgy, error-strewn. Deep into added time, Marquis was an inch from converting a cross two yards out. Our first defeat at home for more than seven months.
Taylor was dangerous as usual with low, drilled crosses to the six-yard box. But if we don't play more positively and more accurately at Wembley, Sunderland will murder us.
As is often the case, our players' marks are wildly over-rated. We played badly, and lost!

We won, hence being in the final. How we got there is irrelevant.

Utter scum, I could see the phlegm from two blocks away as could all the separation stewards but nothing.
Being a tiresome old man now I reported it to two other @cafcofficial stewards who did the sum of jack shit about it.
Luckily we were poor second half so no other targets for them in the goal mouth but took a bit of the edge of the rest of a bonkers evening for me.
Que sera, sera...
Marquis- HAHAHAHAH
In all seriousness though Mcann did an absolute number on Bowyer. Exploit the lack of width in our side and we looked vulnerable.
Massive respect for James Coppinger, 38 years old and ran that game for 110 minutes.
Apart from 1st half of ET and First 10 minutes we were absolutely woeful, we won’t play that bad again for a very long time.
WERE OFF TO FUCKING WEMBLEY. Let’s have it Sunderland.
My legs have gone all trembley
La la la la.......La la la la.
