Blood Pressure shot up even more than usual, when Stelling said on Sky "There's been a 7th goal at Brunton Park, have Carlisle secured the great come back"; then covered my eyes in dread, but was delighted when they said 3-4! Only 3 points off 2nd Place!!!
Screamed get the f*ck in there benno you beauty why jumping around the room with the old man. Then had to listen jst incase it was dissalowed. A couple of seconds silence until i knew it had actually been given then a bit more jumping around
i went mental i had kicked the bejesuss out of a pot in the garden when they equallised and had to say sorry to the missus for breaking it.
i then jumped around screaming get in there bennnnnnnnnnnnoooooooooooooooooooooo kissing the kids and cuddling my baby girl who was looking at me like i was mad
Screamed yes and thanked my lucky stars I support a rollercoaster club like ours as the SKy commentators continued to cream themselves over Chelsea's 1-0 win and the Rooney "saga"
shouted out 'fucking get in there' and punched the sky in the golf shop at west essex golf course and then explained to my 4 year old son that charlton had won, before i realised it may not have finished ....... then text my mate who had laid us at 3.6 betfair value to me for a tidy sum .... COYR
I was angry too but said when it was 3-3 that we would either win it or lose it -couldn't see a draw. So when we scored the winner I calmly said- "I told you so".
Went Garrity. Class finish from Benson. On the train home - the winner made the long journey worthwhile. At Lancaster. Waiting to see if any Nigels get on at Preston.
Was inside at work and was serving a customer when someone said Benno scored, went to refrest the match thread but of course it froze for about ten mins, went to refresh BBC website but that thing is so slow to update it's pointless, served the customer came back and there it was 3-4. Heart was pounding but was delighted with it.
most of the players ran over to us, Waggy was going mental and Benno was just besides himself.
After that Benno got the ball in a good attacking position and rather than go for glory he took the ball to the corner flag to waste time, to me that showed him to care about the team and not just a glory hat-trick merchant.
Was thinking before the game how a 0-0 would be a good result. Made a tit of myself in the sports bar on city road when we scored the first goal. Job done, i thought, when I left to go home at 2-0 up at half time. Then read the match thread when I got home and still got stressed out! Supporting Charlton takes years of your life I reckon!
I couldn't take being around any football today so went to the cinema, checked the result when I came out. Mixed emotions of frustration of throwing away a 3 goal lead but I think it is trumped by last minute winner. Well done everyone who listened and even more so to anyone who went up there, you deserved that.
Best feeling I've had at an away game in my 5 years of going to them.
After the euphoria of going three up, the anxiety caused by their first two goals, then the despair of the equaliser. In short, I went absolutely fooking mental.
Well worth the 300 mile round trip from uni, and although I was complaining before the game at having to pay £20 for a ticket (as a student, it's normally a tenner max away in this poxy league), it's day's like today which confirm why we're all fans. Amazing feeling amongst the masses....

Had that thought in Mothercare by the way
Had an away 4 fold of Pompey, Charlton, Peterborough, Tranmere. Gutted.
Very proud of Charlton today great result.
Then the little 'un started laying into me coz I scared her!
You weren't pleased that we scored then?
Possibly one of the most important goal's in a manager's career in recent times.
Lets hope we can build on it.

Texted friend Alan who was there saying " I'm gonna ask Benno to marry me " to which he replied " After me " !
Great stuff , if heart stopping for most of the second half.
Still can't believe we scored FOUR goals !!!!
