What f**ked it up for us was conceding the Luton goal and Dabo wasn't even on the pitch.
I agree although I was so impressed with sheaf from them on fitness levels on another levelThe turning point was Hamers injury. That's what cost us a win, not Dabo missing.
I cannot agree with this.At least he has the courage to take one.
Blame their parents for not bringing them up properly. Utter morons.What makes people do that?!? I mean I get us being pissed at him in the heat of the moment (for clarity, not if racist!!), but people with no skin in the game to decide racist shite is the way forward?!? Should be an instant ban from those social media channels really. Prosecute if you can find them too. Absolutely no need.
No you don’t have to give the referee the order/names of the players who are taking a penalty kick.I might be wrong but I think you have to give the order of the penalty takers, Dabo was first of our sudden death group.
Always said at 3-3 it’s pretty much pressure all they wayThat 6th penalty is the most pressured.
Absolutely shocked Dabo was put in the line ahead of Bidwell (a set piece taker).
I said a few weeks ago that I thought Ben Wilson might be a better choice for pen 6. I guess keepers take pens against each other as part of their training - I’d back him.
I can imagine him giving the Luton keeper one of his daft grins banging it past him and then running over to give him a pat on the head - some daft mindgame or something.
Whoever thought Dabo was the guy for pen 6 and not Bidwell or Wilson needs to reflect. We saw a few weeks back the lack of certainty about who takes what pen with the Vik/ Godden “mild dispute”. Skipper on the pitch should sort things like that out.
Still gutted.
It really isn't that simple. The pressure on him was immense.I repeat. Nobody has to miss. This is nonsense. He missed the target. None of their players did.
The goalkeeper should have to make a save. Neither did.
Maybe so but most penalty shoot outs involve a save being made. No issue with that. If you miss the target it's much worse than having one saved IMOIt really isn't that simple. The pressure on him was immense.
Even the best players in the world miss penalties. I am sure Messi has.

Missed or had saved?messi has missed 1 in 5
Missed or had saved?
Doesn't detract from my point at all. All players CAN miss the target.no idea but he’s ballooned them over the bar

It is still poor though.
The wider debate here is Dabo does not deserve abuse for something that could happen to anyone - we were all angry annoyed but most have moved on - we have a great fixture list forming next season - a great manager and set up at the club - best in years and 20 M coming in - the future is bright and CCFC have given us as fans some amazing moments this season - don’t ruin it by focus on negative mate

Please, someone hold my drink while I go and hang the bunting out to fucking celebrate this wonderful achievement
just one small point, if they did go on, I’d be reluctant to pay Wembley prices for refreshments.The notion no professional player should miss a penalty is nonsense, otherwise the the first ever penalty shoot out would still be going on now.
Yes, they really should hit the target but none of us have a fucking inkling what the pressure is like taking a penalty in the most lucrative game in world football, especially when you don't usually tale penalties.
Someone had to miss, it was Dabo, he didn't do I intentionally and he'll carry that with him forever.
He'll be hurting more than any of us are.
For what it's worth, I think we'd should be looking to move him on, but it's got nothing to do with yesterday
Some great moments indeed, Hamer has been a joy to watch for 75% of the season once he sorted his disciplinary out.I used the word Some so those Some Leeds Leicester Southampton
We had a great season - did you not enjoy anything then ?

This forum is for everyone’s views, we hear you…But maybe think about the fans who are reading your angst.
Move on. Things may get just that little bit better for all of us.
As soon as I saw him walking up I knew we’d lost.
Reasons to be cheerful:Some great moments indeed, Hamer has been a joy to watch for 75% of the season once he sorted his disciplinary out.
His goal away at boro in the semi final is now probabaly ranked My favourite ever city goal, over Johnny Jackson’s at home to the Albion all those years ago.
Fadz has been immense for the most part aswell. The first half at Swansea at home is up there with the best first half’s of football we’ve ever seen.
Sheaf has grown into one hell of a player and Eccles has also emerged into a decent champ player and will get better next year.
But it means fuck all if you get to the final and let that clown blaze one over the bar, we may aswell of finished 4th from bottom. We’re still in the same league playing the same fucking teams we’ve played for the last 3 years
Apologies, followed by sarcasm. No need. As @Evo1883 said, why would you hate one of our own players?My apologies , let us stagnate where we are and just be grateful we get to visit sunny Plymouth. Maybe we can stay in this league aslong as Preston have? Wouldn’t that be lovely
I thought godden and vik would score, was nervous about the next three admittedly, but as soon as that clown started walking up the pitch , the writing was on the wallYeah right
Tell me who the next player to miss a penalty is in advance. If it's for your team, you always think a player is going to miss, it's the way of football fans. Did you think we would score the first 5? If not, who did you think was going to miss? Whoever it was, you were wrong. For me, I thought Vik, Kelly and Sheaf were all going to miss as they took their pens. I was wrong.
