Welcome to Loyals live text of JA606’s Dream league Championship and today Its the Semi Final as I bring you two games from Wembley in London where Southend United manager Tippy brings his side to play 21’s Dagenham and Redbridge. The Millennium Stadium in Cardiff hosts the other game that sees Tbags Burnley face TJ’s Shrewsbury Town.
Were underway as its kick off around both grounds
1 min – A very early chance in Cardiff Carrick played a fantastic ball through the defence but Di Natale wasn’t quick enough to respond the pass. TJ isn’t happy with him.
4 mins – Just heard there was abit of a delay outside the stadium in Cardiff a large heard of sheep were just dumped outside the Stadium causing Chaos with the fans trying to get into the stadium!?!
Meanwhile at Wembley it’s been a very very slow start to the game and already both managers are on the sidelines screaming at their players, trying to get them to wake up..
7 mins – Finally we have had a chance at Wembley Diame is the first player who has made something happen he has just charged at the Dagenham defence and then laid the ball off for Lamela who hits it and it skims the crossbar! So close!
10 mins – GOAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And we have the first goal of the Afternoon and it has come in Wembley surprisingly but its Dagenham!! Son put a cross in that was cleared poorly by Lovren but Kroos collected the ball shifted it onto his stronger foot and drilled it into the bottom corner!!! Poor goal to concede from Southend.
13 mins – Update from the Millennium Stadium and its Burnley who are on the front foot. They are getting alot of joy down the wings Mirallas and Ben Arfa have got in behind Hutchinson and Pieters far too many times but the end product has been poor so far..
17 mins – Lets head back to Wembley now and there has been a break as there has been a clash of heads between Mandzukic and Godin.. Godin has needed a bandage around his head but he is back on now and play can continue...
22 mins – GOALLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally a goal in Cardiff and its Shrewsbury who have scored 1st in the game Carrick who has been the best Shrewsbury player by far spreads the ball out wide to Tello who drove the ball across the goal and Di Natale taps the ball into the net!!
25 mins – let’s get a quick update on the games as we approach the 25 minute mark. In the game at Wembley Southend are trying to get back into the game but they are struggling to break down the Dagenham defence. Since the head injury the game has become very slow again, I think this game needs half time really.
In Cardiff both of the Burnley wingers are still getting behind the defence of Shrewsbury and the quality of balls are getting better however no one is getting onto the end of them! Shrewsbury have turned very defensive and it’s just not working for them!!
29 mins – HES HIT THE POST!!!!!!!!!!!
Hatem Ben Arfa gets in behind the defence again and delivers a fantastic ball, Dzeko heads the ball but it hits the post and Schwarze jumps on the ball.. Burnley are getting closer now!!
33 mins - This very scrappy game at Wembley has just got even more scrappy with alot of fouls being commited at the moment and the most recent is Tiote who went in for a tackle two footed and got none of the ball gets away with a warning to the surprise of the whole stadium...
37 mins – GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
WHAT A GOAL!!! Burnley suddenly pick up the pace Ben Arfa sprints down the wing cuts inside and plays a beautiful pass into Carzola who hits it first time into the top corner!!! BEAUTIFUL!!
42 mins – last update of the half and I think the fans are nearly asleep at Wembley let’s hope the half time entertainment will keep them awake as there isn’t much decent football on show here yet...
45 mins – Half time at both grounds.....
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
45 mins – Kick off again at both grounds
48 mins – Finally abit of life in the game at Wembley both managers must have had a right go at their players but it has worked! Both are battling in the middle of the park but Southend have been the closest in the first few minutes of the second half.
50 mins – PENALTY FOR DAGENHAM!!!!!!!!!!
A corner is cleared by Southend but the ball is hit back into the box and it hits Godin on the arm!! Very harsh penalty to give from the referee come back to me!!
52 mins – A real chance in Cardiff for Shrewsbury to go ahead, Tello cuts inside and plays the ball into the box Di Natale tries to control the ball but it rolls under his foot and its cleared!
54 mins – GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!
The penalty has been scored and its Kroos who stepped up and sent the keeper the wrong way! Tippy doesn’t look happy with the referee at all!!
57 mins – Southend still look up for this and they are still playing some decent football, passing the ball around nicely, Demba Ba is really trying to make something happen but he just can’t break down the Dagenham defence.
60 mins - Substitutions:
Dagenham are bringing on Caulker and Suso for Carvajal and Son.
For Southend Tevez and Coutinho comes on for Insigne and Tiote.
64 mins – GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!
Just as Dagenham bring on their subs Suso is caught in possession and Di Maria finds himself with space and time to deliver a cross that is delivered perfectly and Demba Ba is there to nod the ball in!! Game on!!
66 mins – Substitution:
For Burnley Rodriguez and Long come on for Gibbs and Mirallas
70 mins – The substitutions seem to be making an impact at Wembley Coutinho is seeing alot of the ball and seems to be the most likely to make something happen!! This is encouraging for Tippy!
73 mins – as we approach the 75th min mark lets get another quick update as it stands;
Southend 1 – 2 Dagenham – Both sides are really battling it out now as Southend want to get level and Demba Ba is seeing more of the ball now he has Coutinho feeding balls into him now! Dagenham are still pushing to get another goal though with Suso looking to make something happen after his mistake for the Southend goal!
Burnley 1-1 Shrewsbury – Burnley are still on top here Long has looked lively since coming on and it could be just the one goal that seals this now!! Shrewsbury are pushing their players forward but really need to be careful they don’t get caught.
76 mins – GOALLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
Its a goal and its come in Cardiff and its Burnley who have got the goal!!! Ben Arfa who in this second half has played exceptional with another brilliant delivery for Dzeko to head in!! Shrewsbury find themselves behind here!!
80 mins – Substitution;
Shrewsbury make the change and its Elano for Coquelin they look like they will be much more attacking now!
84 mins – GOALLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
OHHHHHHH!!! Southend have done it!!! Its 2-2!!!!! Demba Ba receives the ball with his back towards goal and lays the ball off to Coutinho who slides a ball into the box to Lamela who chips the ball over Trapp!!
86 mins – Only 4 minutes left and Shrewsbury are throwing everything at Burnley but they seem to be handling it pretty well clearing their lines and trying to catch Shrewsbury on the break!
89 mins – abit of controversy here in Cardiff it seems that TBAG doesn’t want to give the ball to the Shrewsbury players to take the throw! The 4th official had to get the ball off TBAG! TJ isn’t impressed!!
90 mins!! – Full time in Cardiff!! But its heading to penalties at Wembley!!

LRF filtered me at last
Robin would fit in well, Fan and Renegade, although great members, might not be as used to the way we run.
