I can't see that at all. it was good, but no more than just a standard overhead kick that's been done many times before, and often from further out too.

It was in the CL final so instantly devalued most other famous overhead kick goals. It was a humdrum game till that moment, imagination, grace, pace and trajetory all came together.:okay:

Desperate gut wrenching afternoon at Wembley for the Shrews. Football really hurts sometimes. Many won’t understand it, but I think fellow football lovers will.
Yeah, just saw the goals on the news. That must have been a hard one to accept.

So pleased for Will Vaulks at Rotherham though. In a profession full of self-obsessed, shallow shitebags that man shines out. A group of Falkirk fans travelled down to Wembley to support him, such was the impact he made with us.

I shared your pain yesterday. I listened to it on the radio. They say that the best team won. Well maybe they were on the day but not throughout the season. I read an article saying Shrewsbury would jump from something like 1.3 to 7.3 million in tv money rights if they'd made the Championship. Not wanting to rub salt into the wound,you've also missed out on local games against Aston Villa( a Blackburn "fan" was down the pub last night saying how great it is that Rovers will play Villa again next season,even though he hasn't been for 20 years :rolleyes:) ,West Brom,Stoke and Derby. Not to mention having to travel to the "Wham Stadium" on a cold:cold: wet :rain:Tuesday night in January.:sad: I'll be hoping Coventry win today in their play off final against Exeter. It'll be better for both Accy and Shrewsbury if they go up as they'll bring more fans to our grounds than Exeter will,and from our point of view Accy v Coventry is a more prestigious match than Accy v Exeter. Best wishes for next season! Shrewsbury not going up was an injustice,but as we all know football is full of injustices!

You just have to celebrate the good days on the odd occasion they come around.

He was one of a number of players on show yesterday who have worked their way up from Non League, back to the Football league, after being cast aside. Proper players and as you say, an antidote to everything that is wrong with Football at the higher levels.

To be honest a trip to Accy will be one of the highlights of next season. A proper football club and a proper old ground. But yes, when the fixtures come out and we see where we could have been next season, that will rub it in!

Interesting Summer ahead, as our manager will be off somewhere bigger and a number of loan players return to their parent clubs (with an enhanced reputation and so no chance of us getting them back next season) and we are sure to lose players like Nolan, Agogo and Nsiala to higher division clubs.
