I think I'm still in shock.

I know I am. Watched it back last night and there are things in that last 20 minutes I don't remember from the game due to my mental state at the time. Never felt anything quite like it in my life.

They talk about roller-coaster emotions but this last week is the first time I truly understand the feeling. I'm a born pessimist but kept feeling that somehow the fates were aligned and we would finally win. Then by 60 minutes I was back in a familiar pit of negativity as it looked like we would fall short yet again. Then that last 20 minutes with it's mixture of elation, disbelief, and outright terror for the last 6 minutes.

Unbelievable. Something I will carry with me for ever.

Absolutely this. Ecstasy then for a couple of seconds thinking Currie had scored, then he hadn't. Divine.

Just a tad honest and maybe a little this morning watching the replay . I've never felt so drained both physically and emotionally. Feel like I've gone a round with Connor McGregor coyh

Radford times his interchanges to have our best forwards on at the end and leverage our good fitness levels.

Thought the cheer that Radders got when he lifted the trophy was immense and one of the best things about the whole occasion.

Longest 6 minutes of my life that. I'm pretty sure the drive home was shorter

I cried during Abide with me - as I always do; in fact it starts in anticipation of it. Cried at the end and again watching the cup being lifted when I watched the last 10 minutes again on TV. I have little or no recollection of the last 7 minutes. I saw us go from losing to winning and then possibly lose it again - but didn't realise it was Houghton who made the tackle - it just didn't register at all with me.

I didn't realise that the game was up when mini dropped onto the loose ball. It was like an out of body experience.
