I assume you have played the game and could do a better jobHow Connolly became a professional footballer is beyond my comprehension
Had a good game tonight. Great pen too.I assume you have played the game and could do a better job
game of two halves they were better first half and us better second half then penalties are a lottery but who cares as you saidThought we had blown with some shit penalties after the first two but recovered. Special shout to Kouassi, that must have been nerve wracking for him. Didn't show it.
Barely deserved it but who cares.
Happy birthday. Same school year but you beat me by 6 months.OMG What a fantastic 64 birthday. After running Forest so close itrs about time it started dropping for us. Just a complete TEAM performance. O Donnell is as quality keeper.
Yeah i agree, he is always going to make a mistake but who doesn'tHad a good game tonight. Great pen too.
Barely deserved it! ??? We were far the better team 2nd half and thoroughly deserved to win a great game of footballThought we had blown with some shit penalties after the first two but recovered. Special shout to Kouassi, that must have been nerve wracking for him. Didn't show it.

Great entertainment….some iffy football at times but that added to the entertainment tonight. Great penalty shoot out to cap it off.Good we got to take them in front of our our supporters.
O’Donnell outstanding all night (albeit a few poor kicks) but saves brilliant.
Gabriel fantastic as was Kouassi when he came on…..Lavery had a stinker for me as did Virtue. CJ Also excellent when he came on and one important block when he tracked back.
£50k prize money for winning tonight…..another home tie in semi’s would be nice….UTMP

Easier than listening to chizzy. He needs putting in a home.Wahey ! Stuck in a restaurant overseas with missus and have had to follow this thread to know what was going on
No. Bolton could have been out of sight in the first half. Thankfully we were better in the second half so a draw just about a fair result.Barely deserved it! ??? We were far the better team 2nd half and thoroughly deserved to win a great game of football
I agree with you, they were much the better team first half and without a few critical saves they would have easily been 2 up at half time.No. Bolton could have been out of sight in the first half. Thankfully we were better in the second half so a draw just about a fair result.
I thought over the 90 minutes we just about deserved to win the penalty shoot outI agree with you, they were much the better team first half and without a few critical saves they would have easily been 2 up at half time.
Yeah I think that game will be well attended. It'll help if we get a couple of results in the next games and start climbing into where we should be.Very even over 90 mins and proper cup tie. And close on the pens. Great 2nd half and pen shootout. Well done Blackpool. The league game deserves a big crowd, especially if we are in with a chance of the play offs. Like to see a signing or two in the next couple of days, and not just players for next season.
I’ll be there. Really looking forward to it actually.
Just to make us all feel old it was 20 years ago when we beat Southend at Cardiff to win it last time.
Anyone remember that Southend poster (Matt?) coming on here with the pier banter. Something about their pier being longer than all of our 3 piers put together and I still don’t know if that’s true.
Kouassi gives us something extra with his power and aggression. I don't know if it would actually work in practice, but I'd enjoy seeing him and Joseph knocking defences all over the place.A just back brief comment from me.
Yes we were poor 1st half but alot of the team haven't been playing regularly and it showed. So it was basically a 45 minute warm-up and a far better 2nd half performance. Kouassi though hit the ground running.
With CJ ripping down the right but not as a RWB!Kouassi gives us something extra with his power and aggression. I don't know if it would actually work in practice, but I'd enjoy seeing him and Joseph knocking defences all over the place.
Only the brave, Wiz!Well, as I passed Fatboy in the NW corner I said see ya later.
When asked wtf was going on I said, I've not see a Blackpool player take a penalty since '91 and I'm not starting watching tonight.
Give over, it doesn't really mean anything said Fatboy.
I replied, every game means something.
I left and was joined in the Bloomfield later by my lads for celebratory drinks
Far better 2nd half, well done Pool
Said when we signed him he should be first choice. Never understood the Grimshaw love inDon't get why, he kept us in it in the first half. He made 2 brilliant saves and few few decent ones as well.
He is so tricky, he could have squeezed into Karl Oyston's wallet
Lest not forget CJ he made all the difference with his pace.A just back brief comment from me.

Playing further forward and running at a tired defence.Lest not forget CJ he made all the difference with his pace.
When CJ came on, Gary Bower said words to the effect "When I was playing, I hated it when I had tired legs & in the 75th minute they bring on a really fast winger. I'd think 'oh that's brilliant'."Agree completely.
Start him at RWB and hold CJ back until last 20 as a forward. He scared the hell out of their tired defence when he came on.
I will have to rewatch the game, but live I thought Norburn consistently hit his passes to players under pressure.I thought that Bolton started off like a train and almost blew us away first half as we couldn't really match them.
Because of this, they seemed to tire and then we took control - Santos going off helped also.
Right subs from NC, maybe 5/10 mins too late but that's not surprising from him.
Thought after a weak first half Virtue got into the game and played well second half but he was blowing out of his arris late on and cramping up. A run of games for him might not be a bad thing, but we'll see.
Norburn or Gabriel MOM for me. The former has found some form over the last couple of games and the latter should be starting every game without question.
The rest of his team mates seem to love him though. Gonna miss him next season he’s been a revelation
I think that’s last year’s prize money, it’s been reduced this year but still not bad

It's not huge in football terms, but it all adds up and helps.
What do we get for the semis?
Also it's televised from here on it so there's decent money there too.
So, so far, we have...
160k plus gates and any matchday revenue, TTV passes.
Then the TV money from now.
