Not having the best of days, are we? First, you don't realise that I'm talking about the league results against Gateshead, not the playoff semi results. Now, you get the wrong Goldstone. Sit down dear, I'll get you a nice cup of tea :wink: I was very impressed with the Cambridge fans and with...

FT. Cambridge are up!

Cambridge player down injured on edge of the box. Been down a long time. 7 mins injury time and he's still down. Down to 10 men for the rest....

Gateshead fans now bouncing up and down. 2-1, with 7 mins left.

Really very good. Apart from me. Obviously. The Cambridge fans behind the goal have been singing all day.

2-1. Champion, lass. Ball from left wing to back post. Header pushed across to the middle. Nodded in.

Cambridge 2-0. Dead centre free kick from 23 yards. Two over the ball; one runs towards it and just before he gets there, the second player starts running. First player peels off to the right; second player curls it around the wall. Really high quality FK.

Luke Chadwick on on 65 minutes. Now it'll be worth watching. Bugger, I don't know his number.

Cambridge 1-0 up. Ok, ya - that was rather good, wasn't it? Short corner, second ball to a back post header from the CB

I knew that one day I would be grateful that I hadn't made a presumption of gender when conversing on here with someone that I didn't previously know and today is that day. You've made it all worthwhile. Mind you, I suppose that your user name is a little bit of a clue. Either that, or you're...

I'm not sure that you can be a JCL if you held a Goldstone S/T. More like a prodigal son, Shirley?

Hmmm. I've been trying to upload a photo (the first of many I was planning to post) of the rather impressive uninflated yellow balloon I've been given for your delectation and delight, but I can't see the normal upload button on the image upload sub-screen. I can select the right image, but...

Busted. It's a fair cop, squire.

You, Sir, are a gent (if indeed you possess a Y chromosome) and scholar. Your argument is compelling and you're obviously a great judge of character. I'm already having a great day, and intend for it to continue. :thumbsup:

The twitching worked - I'm alone on the bus. I've just been given a balloon to inflate and have been promised a "clapper", "....if there are any left". Can't wait. Bus definitely has JCLs on it (including some who didn't know that CU had lost 2-0 to Gateshead away - I'm looking at you @ pogue...

Ummm, it wasn't the playoff semis! Gateshead are who they are playing in the final - the scores I posted are from the league! That reminds me, I'd better find out who Cambridge beat in the semis....

I'm leaving in half an hour. To answer some of the questions posed: - I've decided not to waste the £15 coach fare, so will be taking that... - I've now read 2 recent BBC articles and have gleaned the following: Cambridge beat Gateshead 1-0 at home, but lost 2-0 away which was just a few days...

Yes, I'm starting to think I should have done this. It's not too late to do so. Hmmm.

Oh God. If that turns out to be true, I will get off the bus before it leaves. I think there are about 20-25 buses arranged from pick up points all around the city and surrounding areas; I was quite impressed.

...and I should feel ashamed of myself. Today, Cambridge United, a club whose home games I could easily walk to, play Gateshead in the Conference playoff final and I'm going. I know next to nothing about my now local team, even though I went to maybe 5 home games about 10 years ago, when last...
