Well thats final then, we will be travelling down to Wales again - beat Halifax after extra time. So sorry for all fans who would have preferred Yorkshire.
 
No one deserved this more than Hereford after their near misses in the last two seasons.

I am delighted for them and their fans - and I don't care who knows it ! :) :) :)
 
In all honesty i thought Halifax controlled the game for large parts but it wasn't enough, I thought after Grant's goal that would be it but credit to Hereford they got their equaliser then a fantastic winner...
 
A brilliant final; I'm gutted 'Fax didn't win but the game was fantastic. Some dodgy decisions on the ref's part but at the end of the day the welshmen broke the deadlock with a good goal (only down point that tarty celebration). Well done *shudder* hereford. Very unlucky Halifax.
 
we finally did it,bloody hell I am drained.there were 4 penaltys turned down 3 for us and 1 for the shaymen .
look foreward to playing you soon.
 
better for us at Christie for 2 reasons

1 Nice close away trip

2 Halifax are not the threat that Hereford pose

How the heck does Stansfield get a regular game!!

there was 2 penaltys i feel halifax should have had

1. Where i think Mkandawire handballed it from a cross

2. when Jeanin (maybe) pulled a halifax players hand which to me was stopping a clear goalscoring opportunity

Anyone in the league to go up and it was Hereford!! :mad: :mad: :mad:
 
Got to say Baldy Jeannin should have gone for a second yellow on that pull on Senior. He was booked about 2 minutes before and Senior would have been clean through..
 
It would have been a penalty had Senior not made so much of it; appealing straight to the liner instead of just going to ground.

Jeannin did the same against us and got away with it and how the hell Halifax didn't get that cast iron pen from Suggs header that Mkindawire blatantly handled i'll never know,

It seems to me this inconsistency in refereeing is happening far too often and something needs to be done because as seen Hereford have gone through two matches and progressed to the Football League on very dodgy decisions, when in reality they should still be in the Conference,
 
did anyone else think that all those fireworks etc were an awful lot of fuss for 2nd place? and the cheeky so and so's played we are the champions too!
 
Seems to me Mr Mkandiware gets away with blatant handballs quite a lot, did he not do the same against us at Edgar street and get away with it? Or maybe it was at our gaffe, can't quite remember, but I know he has done it a couple of times this season gone. He must have tiny hands if the ref cannot see that one

I think they do that at many of the play off games nowadays Rob - either fireworks or tickertape - so this is not unusual, although perhaps a trifle over the top.

I did have to remind a Halifax fan (over on the Hereford website) who had suggested that they and Hereford were the best two teams in the Conference last season (and had said "Forget Accrington "), of a few salient facts concerning Stanley last season, in relation to both Halifax and Hereford - and to point out that Stanley were worthy champions and had not always received the credit they deserved.

Personally, I feel that Hereford deserved their moment of glory after their disappointments over the previous two seasons, and I for one cannot understand some of the vitriol which I have heard against them from various places (including sadly on here). In fact, one nameless individual told me that I was a "freak" for having been pleased at Hereford's success !!! lol Fortunately, I am old enough not to let comments like that bother me - and if people cannot accept a view which differs from their own, it is their problem and not mine.

I agree about the "champions " bit - that is a bit over the top - but in their fans eyes, they are champions (not THE CHAMPIONS - that is Stanley :) :) :) ), but we all know who won the Conference and should not let that fact detract from the Hereford supporters obvious joy on the day.
 
As you say Urban Spaceman, everyone is entitled to their opinion but after the way Stanley fans, players, staff and directors were treated at their place this season I cannot understand any Stanley fan believing that Hereford actually deserve to go up.
Next season I don;t care where we finish in the league al long as it's above that lot!

Don't get me wrong Accy Mad, I too hope that we will finish above them not only next season but every season !!! I did not go to the game at Edgar Street so cannot comment on the behaviour of some of their fans - but on their performances on the pitch over the last three seasons, I think they did deserve promotion.

It does not worry me at all that the majority of people on here will probably disagree with me. That is their prerogative and is what healthy debate is all about ! :)
