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 !

Yes Woodman spoils an otherwise neat and accurate passing team. It must be disheartening when you never misplace a pass and are in total control, to see your goalkeeper make a mistake.
On a more serious note, why do we indulge in these bouts of head-tennis instead of getting it down, controlling it and laying it off to a player in space? Have we forgotten how to pass?
Anyway the 2 legs contained 3 excellent goals Ayew’s and Grimes’s -but also to be fair Barnsley’s was excellent and was accompanied by probably the best bit of football over the two legs.
So it’s Brentford next, who play proper football. Perhaps it’ll spur on Swans to start passing again?
Anyway not to be churlish - well done boys. Gutsy, gritty performances especially from the defence, got the job done. Congratulations Coops and the team!
I have to agree with all of this. The head tennis thing did my head in . Thing is, we had an excellent spell in the second half just before they scored with some lovely interplay and we looked like a threatening team again.
Grimesy misses a foul and they’re level and we’re sh*ting ourselves for the last 20. I reckon had grimes taken a yellow, they don’t score and we probably could have had one or two more.
Each time I go to Bedd - au........................

The head of the negative clan has spoken.

Well,wrong again Rog. You really need to wise up ,butty. Forget what you've been told about my humble self.

Frankly,Im not bothered who or what is considered negative or positive so long as we get the right result -which is we won and get back to the Prem.
We can do it
I hope with all my being we do.
I am conscious of fans no longer with us at this time so let this possibly promotion be for them all

Bloody hell there’s some negativity on here, apart from that break away goal we completely controlled that game this evening. Plus the stick our goal keeper gets, wtf is that all about?
You're right Lifey, but it's par for the course with the unintelligent it seems. Enjoy the silence of the negatives.
It's been a joy to behold, constantly and consistently all season. The doom merchants have been smashed backwards with gusto at every turn. Comedy gold watching them squirm when we win. Fans of Swansea City FC ? No way.
