    Oh well gutted for them personally and if as it seems likely Sunderland dont go up atleast it's a decent away day trip next season. League One will have it's fair share of so called big clubs in it next season

    Short sighted to want Lincoln to win here. Sunderland are owned by a billionaire, one more team challenging at the top, should they not win playoffs

    Not Lincoln's fault the ref was a joke in the away match. They didn't appoint him.

    We should be wanting Sunderland out of this league

    It isn't what we want, it is what happens. Personally I think Blackpool are going to win the play offs anyway. I'd like Sunderland to go up as I feel a bit sorry for them but you can see the issues.

    Can’t believe the love in for Sunderland. Hilarious seeing their fans in meltdown each year, got an air of we think we’re massive about us. 
    Blackpool on the other hand, been through lots similar to us, genuine fans - i would enjoy them going up

    I think in any game you see a lot of bitterness from the defeated fans

    Supporters rarely take a defeat easily, as shown on a post Match Thread at times

    The Sunderland fans I've always ran into, have been very sporting when we've defeated them at Wembley so have respect towards them for that reason - You're right though about Blackpool.

    Sunderland are hardly out of it yet, they beat Lincoln 4-0 earlier in the season. Extra time I reckon.

    I would have liked Sunderland to go up for 2 reasons, they have been unlucky the last few seasons and the fans deserve it but more importantly with their owner now they will be a big obstacle for us I feel

    No team has got through to the Final whilst making up at least a 2-0 deficit

    You would never have posted that if it was us in this situation, too negative! 😉

    2-0 can be a dodgy scoreline and Lincoln will have to play like it is 0-0 or they could still get into trouble.

    @MuttleyCAFC sums it up perfectly....."It isn't what we want, it is what happens." 

    Sunderland is a good away trip and we have decent games against them. For that reason I'd like them in L1 as I do not think they will morph into Man City this summer under Lee Johnson.

    They have a few players I don't rate that were playing at Wembley in 2019.

    Maybe, but I don't think we should be hoping to get promoted due to having rival teams that can't compete financially. Let's see how we do, and Sunderland do, and Ipswich do,  and Sheffield Wed do, in the furnace of expectation. I'd rather be playing against teams that have that weight against them, than plucky underdogs out for a scalp. But maybe I'm mad...

    Haha I'd probably be saying

    Incorrect!

    In 1996, Bradford City beat Blackpool 3-2 on aggregate, having been beaten 2-0 in their first leg tie. (Blackpool won the first leg at Valley Parade too)

    This was when big Sam was Blackpool manager.

    Cheers, either I misheard the SKY commentators the other night then or they were chatting bullshit :)

    Agreed. Decent fans who would accept that Sunderland are in this division on merit. Nothing like the Massives who genuinely thought they were entitled to promotion from League One.

    Johnson the Lincoln no 20 (on loan from Forest) is already some player .. expect bids from Prem clubs as soon as the play offs are over

    Looks like he'll be going to the Euros with Wales, so a great opportunity for him to put himself out there

    Despite my feelings about Lincoln; Bursik looks a great talent and is an England U21 Goalkeeper so great to see another young 'keeper coming through the ranks

    Chris would probably have done well for us when he joined on loan

    Unfortunately for him, some other kid found their form, finally got their opportunity and didnt look back
