Will be seeing you boys next season, then.

Yeah they did, if I remember right we played the Thunderbirds theme for them as well; and this year the home end "sung" the Star Wars theme for them and the announcer, at the end of the game, wished them a safe trip home and said "May the force be with you". Which is dumb because Storm Troopers were with the Empire, what an idiot...

Also their Chief Exec. came in a Yoda mask and his wife came dressed as Princess Leia, looked hilarious those two in the Director's Box.

I liked the time they went as penguins and rode up escalators on their stomachs! It's a right laugh even for the home fans to see! I think Hartlepool actually put on a sort of package deal where all the Storm Troopers stayed in Torquay over night and apparently they stayed in full costume all night so it looked like Torquay had been invaded.

They were brilliant, 500 of them all dressed up as Storm Troopers! They were clearly there for the laugh and celebrated every one of our goals like absolute heroes! Did their conga line during the second half and just generally had fun. A huge credit to their club and, 5 goals aside (check out our third by the way), that made my day!

Watching the replay back it looked like Stephens won the ball and the other fella (Ramirez?) kicked the bottom of his boot.

Torres misses it! 2-2 on aggregate still.

Penalty to Atletico...

I have missed it, interesting to see what happens now that the predictable has happened! (Although some people who are much more caught up than I am on the books and the canon and all that shite could probably tell you what's going to happen next anyway).

He made hard work of beating Fu in the semi and Ding in the final too; both had a lot of scrappy frames.

There it is. So unlucky for Ding.

Twitter's going fucking nuts.

I know it's been said a lot recently, but what a bloody story! It's still almost inconceivable that Leicester could've won the league - and yet they just did! I imagine a lot of Leicester fans won't be turning in for work tomorrow.

NOW Selby is one frame away

Eh, I don't think that's cringe worthy; he's their ex-manager who was sacked unfairly some would say and I'd imagine most of them still hold affection for him and want him to do well, especially if it means Spurs fall short.

Of course, best of 35! Duh!

Well, basically...

That wasn't even the worst view, full frontal was absolutely brutal! Sadly no nudity this week. I suppose that's a spoiler but you can just watch porn to make up for it.

Selby one frame away but Ding has won the last three...

Last/this nights Game of Thrones had the most obvious, anticipated plot line ever in it...

Could have a second here.

Poor old Ding is clearly feeling the pressure here. The announcer said before he came on that he has the hopes and expectations of an entire nation watching back home; way to help the nerves!

2-0

The Rocket not having a good time of it in the second round; currently down 7-5 (about to be 8-5) to Barry Hawkins.

Boys and girls, I've been sort of dared or peer pressured into running a marathon (so I've jibbed out and decided on a half-marathon instead) and as everyone seems to do it for a cause I've decided to do it for Cornwall Air Ambulance seeing as how they helped out both my grandfathers when they needed it and I'll probably need it at some point in my life plus helicopters are pretty cool...

Anyway, if you wanted to chuck a quid in or something that'd be pretty cool, but you don't have to! https://www.justgiving.com/Liam-Vercoe

Yeah Matt's still here, he's a video analyst I think! He used to do all the FM stats too but I'm not sure if he still does.

Biggest bunch of fucking bottle jobs I've ever seen. Fancy beating Portsmouth away, Leyton Orient away and then losing to already relegated and bottom of the league Dagenham and Redbridge and in the process going 3-fucking-nil down in the first half. Un-fucking-believable - except it's entirely believable because it's what we've always done. Not looking forward to getting beat twice live on Sky in the play offs to either Portsmouth, so the media can wank all over how big of a club they are, or to Wimbledon whose ground is so small it'll be ridiculous even getting a ticket regardless of the fact I have a season ticket.

I really thought this would be our year, serves me right for putting my faith in Plymouth Argyle.

Fucking cunts.

Had my best away day ever yesterday; Portsmouth away, two big atmospheres, a massive game in the play-offs/automatic promotion race and we fucking won!

It wasn't a particularly pretty game from either side and they went 1-0 up from a good header but we defended badly for it. They had numerous chances to score again but midway through the second half we made two substitutions and went 2 up front with a pacey winger and absolutely destroyed them in the space of 5 minutes, right at the end!

Pompey fans are so entitled and bitter though.

I love watching snooker, especially O'Sullivan because he's pure box office and he knows it, but I know fuck all about it, know the basic rules and that but only really started watching it properly in the last couple of months.

Watching bits and pieces here and there.

What a game. What a bloody game.
