The play-off thread

[Boletus Edulis]

Well done Pools. Great game to watch as a neutral (ish).

 

[#Beebot]

Torquay absolutely robbed blind, but it's piss poor to fail to take advantage when your opponent takes first and misses two in a row.

Congratulations Hartlepool.

 

[Vanni]

Well done you poolies. DONALDOOOOOOO!!!!!!

 

[BarraMatt]

Congratulations Hartlepool! In a way I'm glad they won that, I can't imagine how sickening it would have been to have lost that after an equaliser from a keeper.

Commiserations Torquay.

 

[Chief Rocka]

YES YOU FUCKING BEAUTIFUL BASTARDS!!!!!!!

 

[Master D]

Would have hated to be involved in that as a fan. Heart attack stuff.

Well done Pools. Imagine what it must feel like to get out of this league.

 

[Soup Ladle]

I'm stumned what the fuck do I do can't understand what happened

Welcome to the Football League Hartlepool

 

[EnglishRed]

Well in Pools. Good on you lads.

 

[Boz]

Well done Hartlepool, commiserations Torquay. Play-off finals are great when you win them but total shit when you lose.

 

[spireite]

Congratulations. Hopefully play a league game against you soon!

 

[Vanni]

Commiserations to Torquay. It was a great watch (and certainly one of the better play off finals in recent memory) for the neutrals.

 

[spireite down]

Congrats Hartlepool

Imagine scoring a header as a keeper in injury time of a playoff final to take it to extra time and then coming off like an absolute massive bellend. Glad Pools won it purely because of the way the Torquay keeper conducted himself in the shootout.

But commiserations to Torquay fans, we've been there before losing that final on sudden death and it hurts.

Welcome to the Football League Hartlepool

Welcome back.

 

[Wooderson]

Oh dear, turned a bit nasty. Don’t blame Pools fans for going on though given everything, sheer elation

 

[Stoney Ground]

Covolin deserved that in the end. Went far too early with the cocky celebrations.

What an incredible set of play-off games by the way. Congratulations Pools, well done all.

Yeah, wanted Pools after his antics.

It was so weird he was celebrating as if it was all over, when his team hadn't scored a single penalty yet.

 

[Optipez]

Well done Pools. Fancied you to go up from pre season, thought you'd get there a little easier than you did.
Tough for Torquay, will take a bit of getting over I would think.

 

[jacobncfc]

Yeah, wanted Pools after his antics.

Agreed, I had no real preference until that. Torquay immediately missing the two straight after was hilarious.

 

[Super_horns]

Congratulations Hartlepool.

Unlucky Torquay

 

[BarraMatt]

Still smiling after the pens there, pissed from his goal.

 

[Son of Cod]

Well done on smacking the bar too, Danny Wright you c***. #stampiones

 

[Wooderson]

Think old Covolan was already planning his statue in the centre of Torquay. Bizarre how the first four pens were uniformly awful and then impeccable from then on it, even Buse’s was well struck by a fine save onto the bar

 

[chipmunx]

Torquay fans thought their keeper had done a Jimmy Glass by scoring - but in the end it was the Hartlepool keeper who did a Jimmy Glass by being an emergency loan keeper that ensured his temporary team was in EFL 2 next season....

 

[chief]

Aside from us and Stockport, Hartlepool are possibly the hardest done by club over the last decade that is still alive. Well in lads, enjoy it.

 

[Fyldefan]

Well done Hartlepool and super DC

 

[TheShayWay]

Does that mean we are the most Northern team in this league next year?

 

[doveranddover]

Well done to Hartlepool eventually
shrinks the league geographically quite a bit.
Then a bit more next year when we are replaced by another London suburb team

 

[Son of Cod]

Well done Hartlepool and super DC

Well done Hartlepool and I'm very pleased for their fans but Challinor is a scumbag thug who doesn't deserve any praise or success.
