The English Football Championship Play Off second leg Semi Final
Swansea City v Barnsley Saturday May 22nd 2021 Kick off 6.30pm Liberty Stadium
This game 24 years ago would have been LIVE on.......
( agg 1-0 ) Swansea City
It’s the second leg of two games, that’s the second game for the uninitiated. The first leg, which was before now ended up with Swansea City winning 1-0. But it wasn’t a leg, that’s just another way of saying it was a game, so it’s two games called two legs. If Swansea don’t lose this game, or leg, they go to another game at Wembley called the final. This isn’t called a leg, it’s just called a game. If they draw this game or leg ( the one we are talking about not the final ) the same thing happens, Swansea win the tie ( this is another way of explaining what has happened over two legs or two games ) it’s odd that it’s called a tie because the winner doesn’t tie with anyone, they win. If Swansea lose 1-0 it’s something else. Because that makes it 1-1. Never start a sentence with because. Because, then the result is what is called level or a tie, which is different to a tie, so then, then, then thirty minutes of extra time is played. If it’s still level then Freddie Woodman will save a few penalties and Swansea will win. Sometimes away goals count as double but not in the play offs. That’s for other two legged, two game, two ties wotsit. Apparently according to tradition Swansea will lose this game and go on holiday. In the final at Wembley away goals don’t count as double because nobody is away from home, in fact both sides are away from home, in a way, so if you want to you can count both sides goals in the final as double ( or even triple ) because the side that scores more goals wins.
Our flow chart of the above is below
This game will be played in the “ If you don’t like it bugger off and play in your own league country “
In the meantime please enjoy our 1972 on terrace banter with several chaps being naughty
And if you want another one of these GET POSITIVE !

Steve obviously oblivious to any physical threat then. No doubt hoping our young defenders bale out this coward again.
It's pitiful
Should start with Smith, then bring Hourihane on, just hope he puts a shift in if after 30mins and he's been like normal, then he should be hauled off. He won't be though, I bet.

Awful game again. Aimless kick and rush from both teams.
It's hard to emphasise how truly woeful we are.
Woodman has the ball. Both centre basks are free. As are both full basks. No Barnsley is within 20 yards of any of them. Yet he, presumably under instruction, hoofs it 60 yards to Lowe who can't win the ball and we lose possession.

It's mind boggling how we're in the play offs.
It’s an odd game, both sides aren’t doing as we expected. We have had ample opportunity to put our foot on the ball and release runners, it’s just hoof from both sides. Although our defending is resolute, thankfully.
A great believer in taking anything you like to wherever you want to.

Trouble is they are better hoofer's, I feel its a matter of time unless we actually start to play.
