Tears in my eyes commentating on that last penalty from
@leefreck8
. Might have waited 133 years for it but
@LincolnCity_FC
are off to Wembley! 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
Words can’t describe the feeling of a last minute
@lukew30
followed by the news Port Vale equalised against Mansfield . Get in
@LincolnCity_FC
😃😃😃😃😄😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😄😃😄
Been walking this path since 8 years old...
Fingers crossed
@LincolnCity_FC
can do something I’ve never seen them do before and that’s win promotion to the 3rd tier of English football
Think the Grant news is more important than any new signing in this window. Shows the upward curve of the club when you can hang on to your best players.
Game number 100 in charge of
@LincolnCity_FC
this weekend for Michael Appleton.
3rd manager this century to reach the landmark alongside Danny Cowley and Keith Alexander.
For anyone who talks about
@LincolnCity_FC
just being a hoof ball, direct side, I suggest they watch back tonight's games and the goals. 10 point gap to 4th with 9 to play.
Better news with regards to Tyler Walker. When I asked him about his future he said " My contract here's until the end of the season. That's all I'm thinking about".
To say I’m excited for tonight is an understatement. The chance to commentate on my team getting to Wembley- it’s a boyhood dream that will hopefully come true. Go on
@LincolnCity_FC

One for the
@LincolnCity_FC
stattos to try work out- will Monday be the first time ever in the Imps history they are the highest ranked side in the
@EmiratesFACup
draw?
Can’t help but be proud to be an Imp this evening. Gave it their all, scored 2 brilliant goals and pushed them all the way.
Certainly a night to remember.
A few reflections after last nights draw for
@LincolnCity_FC
:
1: Still top of
@SkyBetLeagueTwo
and 5 points clear of 4th.
2: Unbeaten in 5.
3. Certainly missing Shackell at CB.
4. A 9000 plus crowd on a Tuesday night for a non local derby 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Fair to say
@dancowley1
loves pulling a star signing out the bag before the start of a new season:
16/17-
@SeanRaggett
17/18- Neal Eardley
18/19- Jason Shackell
19/20-
@tylerjandrew1
Proves there's no need to panic mid June when there's no new signings.
Fair play to
@HarryMaguire93
who could have watched the game from the boardroom but instead spent the time signing shirts and having photos.
Too many times have I seen Premier League footballers just ignore fans. Hopefully this is the start of a shift in mentality of pros.
Morning after the night before and no doubt losing in the playoffs still hurts.
Been one amazing season though, having a trip and winning at Wembley. 🏆
Hope the staff at
@LincolnCity_FC
can enjoy their summer break and then excited to see what season 18/19 brings. 🔴⚪️
So as
@cliven7
told
@scottydalton
on
@BBCRadioLincs
yesterday, Imps in for a windfall of £100K with the game V Everton being chosen for TV Coverage. Money coming in the final week of the transfer window as well.
Delighted for Matt. Think there was something about him leading City out on Monday that just set the atmosphere alight. Will cause havoc in League 1, especially with direct free kicks. 😂😂😂
Another season draws to a close and yesterday still hurts.
Thanks to all the
@BBCRadioLincs
sports team who have had lots of challenges chucked their way this season but we got through them all together.
Here’s to a normal 21/22 with fans back and seasons completed for everyone
It wouldn't be
@LincolnCity_FC
if it wasn't easy. Me and
@cliven7
asking each other if promotion was secure wasn't necessarily how I imagined the confirmation to come through but who cares! Hello
@SkyBetLeagueOne
Still can’t quite believe what happened yesterday.
Reminded me of the cup run with the excitement and joy on social media and then seeing the cathedral lit up red as we drove back into the city.
@BBCRadioLincs
will be your place for all the build up + ticket news this week.
This is why FA Cup replays need to stay.
That season with a much smaller squad than any Premier League side,
@LincolnCity_FC
played 61 matches and still managed to reach quarter finals of FA Cup, semi finals of FA Trophy and win the
@TheVanaramaNL
.
And the dream killers want to stop FA Cup replays. That FA Cup run was a game changer for our club. It's not only the money but the increased support and the incredible memories that stay with you for ever.
But its unfortunately all about the big boys and more games in Europe.
Great result and a great financial boost according to the manager with Liverpool heading to
@LincolnCity_FC
next week. Overall, a very satisfying night!
Gutted. Thought best side won in the end. However Exeter fans an absolute disgrace at the end. Dick the kitman knocked over, Rhead being pushed and shoved and wanting to antagonise the Imps fans.
Great to have Rheady back on the
@BBCSportLincs
team last night. He was very impressed by Gallagher on his first start for City. You can hear what he made of the Imps on the podcast.
Aside all the controversy,
@LincolnCity_FC
’s
@CheckatradeTrpy
run has made them more than £130,000 more in prize money than the run to the semis of the FA Trophy last season.
On the Sam Habergham interview, he praised both
@LincolnCity_FC
and it's medical team for their help and support. He's been using the facilities and training with youth team since his contract expired in summer of 2019.
The positive news keeps on rolling in from
@LincolnCity_FC
this morning.
Training ground planning permission has been GRANTED.
Plan is still to have the pitches ready for pre season.
Just had a good chat with Matt Rhead on his departure:
Says he had no choice but to move on because he knew he wouldn't be playing or involved most weeks.
Only found out about the move Tuesday afternoon.
Says it's 50 goals not 49 😂
Are
@LincolnCity_FC
still on for their highest placed finished in the football pyramid since 1984 if they finish where they are now? ✅
#MondayMotivaton
Great to see
@JoeJMorrell
get that first cap for
@Cymru
tonight. Proud moment for him and great to see
@LincolnCity_FC
players on international duty for their country.
