POSF 2nd Leg Histon v Torquay United 4th May 2009

otobe Poke did make a great save pushing the ball up onto the crossbar, the flag went up for off side, I think it was for the Histon player standing in front of Poke, so it may not have counted had it not been saved.

It was a disgrace aussie and it worked against them later in the game, so if they had done it to gain any advantaged , it sure back fired on them.

With 15 minutes to go their forwards in our box could not keep their own feet and slipped all over the place.Not saying they tried to cheat or anything, but the saying goes that cheats never prosper

That pitch wasn't good enough to grow carrots on let alone extract some football from that bunch of Scarecrows that Fallon and the Mad professor Beck turn out.

Every throw from Gwillim is a foul throw as it corkscrews from him having one hand behind the ball, Village Idiot Mitchell - King's sole worth is to foul the keeper by obstructing or backing into him at every restart and half of them couldn't trap a beetroot. what a dreadful, dreadful side and shite pitch, what a horrible little "ground" where the best vantage point is the free view from the railway embankment....................some advert for the BSP they are, fecking dreadful and I've no time for them whatsoever; no sympathy towards them as losers and pure contempt for their greed in trying to screw eighteen bloody quid for kids to sit and watch that rubbish.

I thought our professional and measured reaction after told a million tales about us and Cambridge and hopefully we can stay focused, have a rub of the green for once at Wembley and leave Cambridge solely "celebrating" their great achievement in overcoming a Stevenage side that didn't show ten per cent of the resolve and courage that our lads did tonight.

The right two sides won through today, the best two sets of fans got what they deserved and the small time uninspiring fans of Stevenage and Histon got what they deserved...............NOTHING! ;D

do you think so Dave, do really, really think Benyon "troubled" them?

I thought tonight showed just why him and Stevens struggle to hold down a first team place, they gave the ball away endlessly with their poor body strength and careless passing without thought. They were boys against men trouble is they are not boy's ages are they?

I know and appreciate it was a night for resolve, strength of body and mind and focus and once the game became "stretched" it became obvious that Histon didn't have an ounce of football common sense in them nor one iota of skill and very little technique. The sad thing is that Mad Professor Beck has always produced sides like this when he was such a talented player himself and what one needs to ask oneself is just what levels and minimum standards of technique and football appreciation do Histon expect from their much vaunted youth policy, because as far as I can see anyone who tried to play football in that set up would sink without trace!

Bucks is on the non league football show now.

Well done to Bucks and the team for getting to the final under very trying circumstances. Also our support came across great on Setanta. I think today's game, more than any, showed why this is such a difficult league to get out of. I wonder how a team like Man. Utd. would have coped on that pitch, and playing against those direct tactics of Histons ? I seem to remember the pitch was even worse when Histon dumped Leeds out of the FA Cup earlier this season.

I wonder what Luton would have made of that ? I think someone needs to send them a DVD of today's match titled "welcome to the BSP". As Merse has said quite correctly many times, it takes a lot more than just football skills to get out of this league. Our guts and determination just about did it for us, but it was too close for comfort and not pleasant viewing !
