24 Hours On - Still Feels Utterly Unreal

WTF!!!!

24 Hours On and the question still has to be asked:

Did all that stuff actually HAPPEN?

Did the sky turn darkblackgreen at half-six and the street lights come on and did we all getting fuckin WATERLOGGED in a hundred yard run thru floodwaters - so drowned that your cheap shoes turned to red cardboard and digging into a pocket an inch deep in rain to buy a programme was not even an option?

Have we ever played so unspeakably SHITE - taking the aimless hoof to another level - trulymadlydeeply bereft of anyfuckingidea where the next goal was ever likely to come from?

Have we ever broken the hearts of so many visiting supporters five seconds form glory in such a sadistic way? Poor Bastards must be so deeplyTRAUMATISED today.

Has Rocketman ever sounded so FUCKINGWONDERFUL?

Has AdamVirgo ever shown any inkling of THAT kind of contribution?

Has anybody ever had any idea that we are a team star-studded with glorious superhero penalty takers?

Have you ever snogged a Withdean goal post WITH TONGUES?

Have you ever felt quite so Outlandishly DAMNGOOD after a game at the TheatreOfTrees ever?


For Once, Smileys Almost Fail Me ;)

Yesterday evening was gloriously surreal. And waking up this morning was no different. As the day has worn on I think it has gradually sunk it what exactly our team has achieved, mainly through talking to my Dad this morning about what tickets I should buy tomorrow, and my Grandad phoning me up from Worthing this evening to tell me what it said in the Argus.

Yet still there is this dream-like feel to yesterday, and everthing that has happened since; Perhaps it's just because it was all so emotionally draining, or just the come down from the massive adrenalin high I was on last night - though it seems like I got off lightly compared to Turkey and Yorkie, posting at 4.00am indeed!!

Although I appreciate that I'm in danger of repeating myself here, it just doesn't seem real. But I know it is.

The game was awful, but that was just about the best night of my life.

4am? Have I been hacked? :eek:

I managed to finally get to bed at 2, but then I got up for work again at 6am. :rolleyes:

A brilliant evening all around but no dream I can assure you.

:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Thinking about it, it might have been Roz I noticed had posted at that time (I've been in a daze all day!!), but you were still up later than me!!!

If what we witnessed last night had been a film, we would have laughed out loud for the story being too far fetched. Came home last night and watched the whole game again on video. Yes it was a mind numbingly boring match to any neutrals but that last 10 minutes plus the extra time and penalties will always be some of the most memorable time ever spent as an Albion supporter.
Still can't believe we won, just like the Swindon fans can't believe they lost.
I'm going to be on a high for days.:clap2: :clap2:

I was forced to watch at home, alone. Evening duty at work which I was only able to swap late on, but too late to book my season ticket seat in H block. 80 minutes of exasperation, get the ball on the ground! support the forwards! 10 minutes to go, yes, we are going to hold on! Goal from Swindon; misery. Another goal; resignation. Throw in, is it? is it? yes!!!! God is an Albion fan!

A strange sense of calm when the pens start. Mooney misses!
Virgs up next, please, please, keep it down!. Yes we have done it! I can't scream, my wife and daughter are asleep. Roll around on the floor with a cushion on my face! Lie in bed wide awake until 3 in the morning, staring at the ceiling with a strange smile on my face.

It did happen: 32 years of supporting this club and they can still take me to places I have never been before!

I can visualise you rolling around the floor with a cushion :lolol: :lolol: :lolol:

I know what you mean about the Albion taking you to place you've never been before. :clap2: :clap2:

rrrusss, mrs bwian and I got back to Guildford sometime after midnight. Mrs B went off to bed. rrrusss and I decided we'd wait for the next showing (supposedly around 1 or 1:30). Watched a bit on the Arsenal Liverpool Cup Final where, surprisingly, the game drew parallels with last night's-Liverpool outplayed for most of game but win the cup!

Our game came on and whether it was the couple of glasses of wine or adrenalin-the game didn't look too bad and we didn't look as bad as I remembered we were.

I got to bed around 3:30-thankfully Mrs B had to be up at 5 this morning:eek: and naturally she wanted to share the early morning with me:dunce: Then, just to make sure I got frig all in the way of sleep I got a phone call at 8am.

Did I care? Did I eck as like! Gave me another excuse to talk about last again.:clap2: :clap2: :clap2:

Roy Of The Rovers stuff indeed.

Un-bloody-believable.

Indiscriminate hugging and kissing, which became discriminate as soon as it was noticed that there was a fit female quite close (an orderly queue was formed)

My lad nearly fell over the back of H Block!

Checking Sky Sports News every now and then today just to confirm that it did happen.

And now off to Cardiff.

Fantastic.

*In a Ron Manager voice* Isn't it?

I must admit I was quite muted this morning, I just kept playing over and over in my head that what had happened was reality.

The started reading NSC this morning and realised Cardiff it really is.

I don't think I've come down to anything resembling earth yet.

Not even when I went on dog shit patrol in the garden this afternoon!!

I didn't get to sleep until 5.00 am and because I haven't really woken up all day I still keep thinking I'm dreaming!

I have just watched the highlights - and dressing room footage - on Seagulls World.

If you haven't subscribed it's worth the fiver just for that clip - and to convince yourself it DID REALLY HAPPEN. "Marvellous scenes" don't even begin to describe...

There are manly chests on display... oh yes fellow DAFT Bints....

I' glad I wasn't the only one who couldn't sleep last night. Got home and watched the last 10 mins, extra time and penalties on video. Whilst I feel a little sorry for those Swindon fans, I couldn't help but laugh when the camera panned to them singing we are are going up - knowing Virgo's goal was going to come along any second. It was a lot easier watching it second time round - what a night!!!!

Just need to solve the dilema of which tickets to buy at 9am tomorrow morning!

I have not come down either, everyone who was there watched Albion history being made. I have never experience anything like it...never. I thought that I completely understood what following Brighton was about but I did'nt, I do now. Last night was just UNBELIEVABLE and the experience is going to last a life time.

...and we have a final to go to. er... I keep forgetting that. I think I need morphine, I am so excited. 30'000 fans.... our away fans are probably the loudest in the league, what the f**k are 30000 of us going to sound like.

.....maybe I will feel normal next month
