There's a guy that sits 3 or 4 rows in front of us who goes early most games & as usual he left with 5 mins left, just wonder how he is feeling now.
For me I have never grabbed as many random people in my life when that goal went in, I am now an old man but it made me feel like when I was a teenager.
Thanks boys.
I left on 79mins Pete so wasn't me Felt brilliant let out a big cheer on the big smile on me face for go od couple of seconds
If we'd scored in the 1st half (one of those shots that hit the post) it would have been Wigan all over again, 11 men behind the ball, defensive substitutions, and no doubt late heartache. Instead, we gained momentum as the game went on, and opened up, the crowd woke up and it was a grandstand finish. On that basis, I hope we don't score early tonight!

I commented to my brother that we were better off not scoring then - for the reason you stated. I said ideally we wanted to get our goal as late as possible. Fortunately, that is how it panned out!
Did anyone else immediately think the goal would be disallowed? No justification for it, just we don't score last minute winners so there must be some reason to strike it off
Yes! I looked straight at the ref, and wondered what he was up to, especially when he took a yellow card from his pocket, but it was only something to do with the celebration I suppose. After several seconds it sunk in that the goal was going to stand.
When you watch the highlights like that they're an incredible display of footballing incompetence from both sides. I can't stop laughing. Imagine those highlights with the Benny Hill music over them

Let's just take a second to go back to Saturday's result. Atmosphere giving me goosebumps.
