Was nearly a shootout in all four play off finals. Usually are very tight games.

Didn't his dad score a Wembley playoff winner too?

Done what his dad did play off winner.

Darren Moore deserves that.

As good as the Barnsley keeper has been I felt he should have saved that

I was thinking Windass is doing really well to be playing at that level at his age,his son huh!!

Barnsley keeper performed heroics then but he's padded that one into the net in the 133rd min

Yep, and what a few games it's been for him. Awful loss in the semi (followed by that racist social message), the come back in the return fixture and then a last minute winner to get promoted.

Really happy for Wednesday and Darren Moore. Both Sheffield teams went up.

I got him leathered in Rui's Bar, Vilamoura on Portuguese fire water, Medronho when he was at Bradford. Stuart McCall who was a player-coach for them as well.
They were meant to go training the next day but missed it by having hangovers from Hell.

I think it was about the early 2000s. They were knocked out the FA Cup and did some warm-weather training over there because they didn't have a match for a couple of weeks.

Forgot to mention I was gigging there at the time and got into a conversation with McCall because he heard my accent, and asked me if was I blue or red. When I told him red he was actually OK with it.
I was just about to go on stage when McCall announced to Windass and all the other players and staff that were there that they would be leaving soon as they had early morning training.

One of the lads behind the bar came over to me and told me to offer them free shots of the stuff as a thank-you for coming into the bar.
Medronho can come in dark or almost water-like colours.
So a big tray was passed to me with him pointing out that one of them was actually water which was for me.

I got to drink the water and they got the real deal, followed by a lot more.
They were so pissed that they were crawling along the paving stones to get their taxis later on.

Another one not for the championship. Great to see, best of luck to her

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/66105649

Forest Green Rovers have named Hannah Dingley as their new caretaker boss, making her the first woman to manage a professional men's team in English football.

The League Two side sacked Duncan Ferguson on Tuesday after just six months in charge.

Forest Green announced Dingley, the club's academy head, would be put in caretaker charge of the first team.

Her first match in charge will be a friendly at Melksham Town on Wednesday.

Dingley said: "I'm really excited for this next step of my career. Pre-season has just begun, and the full season kicks off very soon.

"It's an exciting time in football. I am grateful for the opportunity to step up and lead such a progressive and forward-thinking club."

She first joined the club in 2019 to take charge of the academy and remains the only woman to manage a men's English Football League academy.

Dingley also initiated the club's girls academy which launched in 2021.

That’s come to an end already. Hard to see is as anything else other than a publicity stunt to be honest.

There’s been some scathing rebuttal to the idea it’s a publicity stunt from a lot of sports writers and FGR fans but it just obviously is.

The owner coming out and saying all the nonsense he did, that was largely about him and not Hannah Dingley clearly makes it about his ego and self-promotion.

Weird that they seemingly put in such little effort to stay in League One.
