Just got home lads. How has Seamus Coleman played?.

Delighted for Blackpool!

Had a stormer in the 1st half.

DJ Campbell taking all the plaudits now.

Bob the Seducer

2-4, Campbell hat-trick, I hope Blackpool go on now and make it all the way to the Prem

If Leicester get through Campbell can not play in the final

Hattrick for the DJ

Fair play to Blackpool, Holloway said the team only know one way to play, sure looks it from this performance.

Should make for some big scorelines if they get to the PL. (not for them though )

gimmick

What a match

JPA

FFS Forest, I wanted them back up.

I was thinking the same another West Brom

Mr.Nice Guy

Fair play to Blackpool. Holloway said they were going to go for it and they certainly have.

Always seems to be the way, the team finishes third seem to be a little deflated, the team who just gets into the playoffs at the last min take their from into the playoffs

Thats what happens when you dont have a recognised left back on the pitch. Perch is a joke. Now they've got a fourth and some of our fabulous supporters are leaving. Blackpool are worthy winners of this contest, i knew from a long way back this game was beyond us, Blackpool look so comfortable on the ball, not our bogey team, they're just better - they put Premiership teams like Hull and Burnley to shame. Finally, Tyson after 85 mins of nothing is hauled off. Well done Blackpool. I hope they win it now.

what a game fair play to blackpool would like them to go up

Guy:Incognito

Jesus a bit early for trying to hide in the corner. Unescessary too seeing as they are 3 up.

This is Yeovil 2005 all over again. They build up your hopes just to knock you down again

I think if ye play like ye have this season ye will be automatically promoted next season

Blackpool get crowds of 7000-8000.

Can't remember a club of that size ever being in the Premier League

thats cause there has been none, Oldhams capacity was just over 13k and they were close on full all the time

Blackpool's capacity is 12,555

Me neither, i think Swindon had averages of about 14,000 when they were there, that's all i can remember,

One more match to win for Blackpool to get there, after seeing their performance tonight i hope they get it.

Yep another dissappointed Forest fan here. My one consolation is I'm not sitting in a disco bar as I was when Sheffield Utd. beat us in the semis and the disco started before the match finished. Oh well fair play Blackpool.

Charlie Adam really is a new man down there. Unbelievable in all honesty.

indeed, fair play.

As a Leeds fan i was gunning for Forest - I wanted to see them go straight from League 1 all the way to the Prem.

Bob the Seducer

Disappointed for Forest but the better team on the night won.
Is Bloomfield Road up to Premier League standards? I think one of their stands at the moment is temporary as it is.

ShamoBuc

Holloway in the Prem... bring it on!

I would say the rest of the stadium is pretty much up to scratch, its not all that old.

IIRC they ran out of cash while building and thats why they have the temp stand.

****ing delighted for Blackpool!!:D

Knew they could do it. Campbell is quality!! Charlie Adam as well is a class act. Great to see Holloway and Coleman doing well.

Half way there now time to finish the job!

Unlucky to Forest they will come back stronger next season. Could even make top 2, the relegated Prem sides are terrible. Unlucky to the many Forest fans on here. Feel for you lot.

grenache

I stayed to clap the lads off, i feel its the least they deserve after a great season, i still love ya even if you seem to like breaking my heart. Ian Holloway and a few of his players got a great round of applause from the home fans too. Nice to see that.

Melion

Very disappointed for Forest, ive been watching them all season and they've played arguably the best football in the Championship. Delighted for Ian Holloway though, i would love to see him in the Premiership

mike65

Blackpool to be the first relegated next seson then. Still they'll make a fortune for the trouble. Pity is Ian Holloway will get sacked in December.

thomond2006

Holloway is a legend.

G'wan Blackpool!! :D

Epicurus

Well done to Blackpool; seems they deserved it overall. Would have liked to have seen Forest in the play off final though. Hoping for a Blackpool victory at Wembley now.

tim_holsters

Fantastic game tonight, one of the games of the season. What a tremendous attitude Blackpool have with their quick passing attacking game, you've got to hand it to Holloway he's done a brilliant job there and he's one of those characters who always makes you smile.

Coleman had a stormer surely he's got to play right back for Ireland soon, he reminds me of Gary Kelly when he was starting out, quick and tenacious and very focused on what he's doing.

I wouldn't be so quick to right them off. They are a very good side. Taylor-Fletcher, Vaughan and Adam in midfield are quality. They never panicked tonight, even when they were 2-1 down, kept plugging away, keeping the ball, finding their men in space. For me they are good enough to beat either Cardiff and Leicester and with some additions would be good enough to survive in the top tier.

Thanx 4 The Fish

That is not it. There are a number of terraced houses, they cannot get an access road up that side and the houses will not be demolished any time soon.

Burnley played the same kind of football when they went up and look what happened.

Its all about the money its all about dummy dum dummy dum dum.

They got Brian Laws as manager!

If I was to write this post after 10 mins I would have said Forest were awesome but a few decisions went against them and that was it... game over...

God, I hate the playoffs...:(

Unlucky Forest. Great game. Tremendous performance from Blackpool. Best of luck next year Forest.

Cardiff and Blackpool final would be great viewing.

Burnley would have stayed up had Coyle remained. I've no doubt of that. If you have a footballing philosophy and tactics to go with it, you'll survive in the PL regardless how small the club.

Bit of a moot point but I'd tend to agree. Burnley played some really good stuff under Coyle.

At least Laws will still remain the Championship's longest serving manager.

Absolutely gutted. I thought we were going to smash them after the opening fifteen minutes, A few inches (that offside) killed us in the end. Fair play to Blackpool and good luck to 'em in the final.

I agree, I was being sarcastic. Should've popped in the obligatory :pac: to emphasise that.

From experience, I can relate to it. However, Forest will be up there next year, they are real contenders and will be able to attract quality players to the club. Won't fancy meeting Forest early next season, and at least you're not bitter about it. Better things lie ahead.

We've nothing to be bitter about. They were far superior. Onto bigger things

The only thing we were unlucky in was the offside decisions - the first half one where Blackstock was clean through (he was onside) and Earnshaw's disallowed goal where he was a yard offside, yet these kind of decisions often go your way.

Other than that, we were thoroughly out-played. In fact, 4-3 was flattering scoreline for us, it doesn't tell the whole story, such was Blackpool's superiority on the night, 4-1 would have been a fairer reflection of the game.

Dozen Wicked Words

Shame there will be no East Midlands derby for the play off final, I think Cardiff will probably win the final but hope Blackpool do for Holloway.

I think it will come down to who will settle quickest. It's a massive occasion for both clubs and nerves are going to play a factor.

I'd put my house on Blackpool winning it, the football they played on Tuesday night was of a very high quality, i've not been as impressed by Cardiff.

That's who I am leaning to as well. If they can play that well again then Cardiff will do well to stop them.
