Brown scores the penalty and I'm far from convinced that we end up winning.

We weren't very good. Basically everything we hit in the first half went in and then we relied on having a goalkeeper who was far too good for that level. No football at all.

Was a very harsh penalty call though and a very crap penalty. I just think we were better in both boxes that day and still had a better quality side man for man.

I'm sure we'd have struggled if the penalty had gone in but from 3-0 up we didn't need to play football, we just needed to crawl over the line. I remember the crowd was very quiet in the second half until added time when people found their voices knowing even we were unlikely to concede three at that point.

If Sheffield United get to the play off final next season their fans will probably give it a miss! 8 losses is it or 9?

 

[jd1981]

We could’ve been more effective on the counter attacking that second half.
Sheff Utd were just very huff and puff second half.

 

[Squeak]

There's an argument to say we were in 2003...

Not sure how you work that out. We battered the Blades in the first half of the final. We also beat Reading in both legs. That Alex Rae goal at Reading was fantastic.

Pen save was important though...not that it was a pen.

Scott Brown, wasn’t it? Fuck that guy.

Michael not Scott.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Michael Brown.

You can't watch that game back in the cold light of day and think we played well, we didn't.

We weren’t great but conversely I’m not having that Sheff Utd were better than us that day as they clearly weren’t.
As said they were just a bit huff and puff second half. You didn’t feel like we were about to be carved open at any point.
Their big moments was a harsh penalty, a deflection and a free kick.

 

[jd1981]

I think it may be a while before we Sheff Utd back in the PL

There aren't many clubs I actually like other than Wolves.

Sunderland are one of those clubs. Really pleased for them. I know a few Sunderland fans who will be on cloud nine tonight.

 

[AndyWolves]

Except for lee howey

 

[Wilf Wolf]

Brilliant penalty shoot out from Aberdeen. Well done on winning and denying Celtic the treble.

 

[Tony Towner]

I don't like any other professional side, just a sliding scale of indifference to significant dislike, Sunderland are in the indifference camp though

I imagine my soft spot for two of our rivals would have had zilch chance of happening if I’d known anything about the game prior to 2010.

 

[Mel Evo]

Know about 50 people at this it feels like, and actually feel gutted for them.

Let the Mackems enjoy themselves I say. Granted it’s going to be awful for them next season.

Better than Championship eternity (or lower)

I am in Sheffield tonight and tomorrow and staying in the hotel on the Utd stadium.

Hotel bar is a tad noisy

Update: "is this a library"

Agreed, I think after their semi final v Forest and our previous jitters in the Play Offs had they scored we'd have been up against it.
