A light hearted look at the goings on at Bradford City Football Club in England. I sometimes just larf at the non-news items that is posted between game on the City web site. Typical comments are "if we had scored more goal than the opposition we would have won. We didn't so we lost". DUH! Coupled with the sarcastic news on "theonion.com" this is my blog.

Bradford C (1) 1 Flynn 40
Bradford City win 6-5 on penalties.
Att: 5,692 (Televised)
By Simon Parker (T&A)
Bradford City moved breathlessly into the last eight of the JPT after a
third straight penalties win at Sheffield United.
Chris Mitchell buried the decisive spot-kick after Jon McLaughlin, playing
his first game of the season, had saved three penalties in the tensest of
shoot-outs.
City had two great chances to take an early lead with headers.
First Ross Hannah nodded over from Jack Compton's inviting cross. Then Steve
Simonsen athletically denied Craig Fagan from a centre by Hannah.
Chris Porter blazed behind for the Blades but they made the Bantams pay for
those early missed opportunities with a thumping Matt Phillips strike after
27 minutes.
But City equalised five minutes before the break with an even better effort
from Michael Flynn, the skipper's fifth goal of the season - and the team's
first for four games.
The Bantams more than matched their higher-level opponents and pressed at
the start of the second half. Both centre halves went close from Chris
Mitchell's corner as the visitors hunted a second.
The game remained open but could not find a winner so once again it was down
to the lotteries of penalties. And once again, City pulled out the winning
ticket as they had done against Sheffield Wednesday and Huddersfield.
