Totally fantastic night, atmosphere was superb, you do get the impression that their sending off was deliberate that he was taking one for the team to take that risk, Charlie was out on his feet along wiht most others but they found that energy to keep it going and for it to be the younger lads that step up to take the penalties I think shows the spirit and work ethic in the team.
Bring on Wembley - So proud to be a Swindon Supporter today

Liverpool are about the only English team who can claim to be shit hot in penalty shoot-outs.
Back to what's important though: best Town team since '93. Ability, fight, bottle, the lot. Come on you fucking Reds!!!
I may have got carried away in the excitement last night. If anyone from the 1996 title-winning side is reading this (are you out there, Kevin Horlock?) then I apologise. Best since then though, definitely :-)

And by the way, I've not seen the penalties yet.
When the whistle went after 120 mins, I knew I had to do what I did at Wembley for Bodin's penalty in 1993...turned my back. I spent the next 10 minutes looking backwards and listening to a kick by kick commentary from the lads around me. It seemed to work. Apparently, Amankwaah's was the best kick of the night.
and then he celebrated in front of the Charlton fans! Awesome

Got to be honest, I didnt enjoy that game. Unlike the home tie, which was a fantastic game. When Greer got sent off I really thought that it was over. When Ward scored I just thought it was going to be some other scheme to deny us in an even crueler (sp?) way.
The 15 minutes in the ground after the penalties were fantastic.
Ive got to say the lads were fantastic with the penalties. They looked like they had so much confidence and desire.
And Danny Ward - Best Swindon loan player ever.

Yeah that was great. Looked like he did this angry sort of celebration. A bit Stuart Pearce. And Danny Ward - Best Swindon loan player ever.
I was thinking about that this morning too.

if we get promoted i believe we have a better chance of signing Danny Ward.
He was overwhelmed after the game last night talking about our support etc

Blimey we don't make it easy do we? And when it went to penalties in front of the home end, memories of Brighton, Wolves and Barnet came flooding back. Have penalties ever been so comprehensively and confidently dispatched by a Town team before? Brilliant.
Hope everyone got home ok from Didcot Station, never seen so many taxis outside the station.

Palace fan in peace. I'm sure that i speak for every palace fan when i say cheers for keeping those clowns down where they belong, nothing is better than watching a load of those pikey chavs crying on t.v! Hopefully you can beat the scum or the dirty northerners and get back where you belong! Good luck in the final. Btw, that song was amazing, YOUR JUST A SH*T CRYSTAL PALACE, SH*T CRYSTAL PALACE! Cheers again Lads and up the Swindon!

Saw someone a couple of rows in front turn their back for the pens, glad I didn't as the boys were great. Not sure why that confidence and nerve came from. This football lark is very stressful!
