Tranmere Rovers (A) Tues Dec 9th 7.45pm FLT Area semis

[Derbyshire Saddler]

SMITH IN.

2 goals away and a win on penalties, my HOPE has paid off. Keep the faith :D

[IHTC.]

Anyone notice a Sir Smith substitution actually changed the game in our favour?

p.s will Grimes ever ever score again?

What do you mean...... "again" ??? :?

He did score once........somewhere :lol:

[Welsh_Saddler]

I was half-expecting a 'sallian post on the 57 best ways of taking a penalty !!!

[bigbadsad]

after a game like that it seems written in the stars

[chestersaddler]

The clowns on radio plastic scouseland said its probably the best Tranmere performance in the past 18 months.

[Terradakphil]

Get in. Two games from wembley now.

[latviancheese]

when was the last time we really dragged our self back into a game like that? We managed to win and i hardly heard Bradshaw mentioned all night. He made the changes early enough to change it. Nice to see some other bugger chip in with some goals.

Tremendous.

I fancy us against anyone over two legs. fudge the league off, who cares.

COME ON YOU REDS

[Ghostofwalsallpast]

Great comeback from the lads!

The Grimes best finisher comment will haunt Smith for as long as the player's with us :)

[Derbyshire Saddler]

this aint over yet some of you could have egg on your faces in a hours time uts

I hope so mate, but an average of 0.7895 goals per game means I'm not getting too hopeful.

Your stats mean nothing :D

[SoccerHQ]

Unbelievable Jeff. :lol:

Surely surely a game like tonight makes it destined to reach Wembley.

Hopefully if nothing else this will be a massive wake up call to the players nearly going out twice.

PNE or Notts over two legs won't be easy so still cautious.

[Ancient Moaner]

UTS! :D

I'll join you...A Walsall squad has won a match on penalties...must be the same day the Taliban go to Disneyland for their hols!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:


Great, great, great result...pity we have to enjoy such euphoria about beating the second worst team in the footy League though...nevertheless bring on Notts County (WE HOPE).

[Twelthofapenny]

We're now officially better than England at penalties.

[Derbyshire Saddler]

Anyone really shocked by this, Walsall and cup competitions are just a pathetic combination. :roll:

No but Smith is God.

probably the end of our (as others have put it) amazing 2 game cup run :lol:

Is this now a cup run or do we need to win the whole damn thing before you agree :D

[Twelthofapenny]

Also, apologies for lateness to the thread, I was too busy running around doing cartwheels.

[Walsall_fan1992]

Didn't think Walsall had a peno shootout win in them! When was the last time we won a shootout

Quite a few online tonight now too!

[belgiansaddler]

Happy happy happy. Can't believe we won in pens. Walsall ay we chuffed

[pumajaguar]

Yes!!!!!

Trust that dipstick Grimes to miss.

[BathSaddler]

Well, I don't know what to think other than I'm bloody chuffed :D

2-0 down during the match and 4-2 down in the penalty shoot out. Not like Walsall at all.

Questions have to be asked as to how we found ourselves 2-0 down in the first place, but Smith at al were up to the challenge. Looking forward to Saturday now...

The most ever if you believe the stats :lol:

[latviancheese]

Return of the lost 2 thousand for the home leg.

[shrewsbury saddler]

Unbelievable Jeff. :lol:

I do wish people would stop about us never having played at Wembley. It's only due to the FA that we haven't.1988, play-offs finals were still played over two-legs-for the last season that happened. 2001 we would have played there if Wembley hadn't been closed for renovations. It makes us appear like perennially under-achievers. :?

[BathSaddler]

fudge off Grimes.

Waste of energy, oxygen and finances.

Piss off and be released right now.

Indeed. He makes Troy Hewitt look like Stuart Rimmer.

[WFC_Rob]

The clowns on radio plastic scouseland said its probably the best Tranmere performance in the past 18 months.

Still not enough to beat the supers though. :D

When will football managers learn that bringing a player on specifically to take a penalty is NEVER a good idea. :roll:

[TheSwift]

No rabona penalty? Sean Geddes would have scored one. Why did Smith release him? Why didn't he replace him with Falcao. Lack of ambition and technique. They should all have scored Rabona's! Sexy football my ass (to avoid the tempremental 'swear' filter, as in a donkey :wink: ). Smith OUT! :twisted:

Well done lads and to the management team really, practicing the penalties actually came off. Cain's finish will easily be up for the Ultimate finish comp that the JPT runs.

[chestersaddler]

Unbelievable Jeff. :lol:

:lol: closed for renovations

[moaning saddler]

I told you all that Deano would have a tactical masterplan for the 2nd half.
We are the sexiest football team ever; Deano is the greatest manager since Clough; penalty shootouts hold no fear for the Super Saddlers.
Back in the real world - SadsWorld went awol for most of the 2nd half and penalties; Grimes continues to be grim; Cook - what is the point?
Will be checking Laterooms for hotels around Neasden tomorrow.

[Sadders]

Any ideas how many Saddlers went up?

[gerryhatrick]

First match report, this season, to top 200 posts.

[Sadders]

Non of the 200 by Cully either? :wink: Has Sallian lost internet connection this eve?

[funk_hits_the_fan]

It would be so easy to focus on the negativity again earlier in the thread, but having said that if you can be positive when losing 0-2 to a side going out the league then you must be Optimistic!

Lets just enjoy this, we are now so close! The boost we all needed maybe?

Sorry cant help but mention Sallian :lol: More chance of Lindsay Lohan popping round for a cuppa than seeing him....
