To score that header with such precision and power while in that beautiful, elegant, ballet pose, is something to behold .

BTA gave Thomas a gee up in the build up to the free kick. Probably just along the lines of 'come on big man, this is your moment' but I am now wondering if it was a ploy?!

It was a goal fit for the Premier League.
The "bionic" delivery, the leap, the finish.

It was definitely worthy of a that moment
Didn't post anything yesterday as I was traveling home and responding to loads of messages sent by friends around the world. Spent much of the train journey from Blackburn to Manchester Airport crying as I was taking it all in.
The whole day was epic and it was incredible that we had the goal - the Bobby Thomas song for five minutes or so after the goal was legendary. It was just pure joy from that moment until an hour or so after the game in the ground.
Even walking back into town afterwards, so many people were beeping horns and it was all very friendly. Couldn't really have picked a better place to secure promotion at an away ground with that huge traveling support.
Can't make Tuesday but back over for Wrexham. Bring on the title.

Brilliant that we got the result we needed to clinch promotion.
Looking just at the game though, we were poor for long periods. If either team deserved to win it was Blackburn. Right from seeing the team sheet it felt like we were approaching the game with a more negative mindset and trying to just get the draw. And IMO if you set out for a draw, most times you lose. Wasn't like we had to do that because of injuries etc., we did it out of choice and I think Lampard and the coaches got that wrong.
Wasn't until we made the subs after going behind and reverted to our more normal set-up that we started to look like we were in the game. Of course at that point Blackburn had something to defend and so wouldn't have attacked us to the same degree as before, but that change made a huge difference.
But we've done it, it's an incredible achievement and we can hopefully enjoy the last three games with the team playing with a bit of freedom. Then the excitement of the summer wondering which players we might bring in.

friday night was just surreal. i celebrated bobby's goal. but when the final whistle went i was just overcome with emotion.
pandemonium all around me, but i was just rooted to the spot.
i've waited a long time for that moment, as anyone who remembers us in the prem will appreciate.

When you say “we” are you referring to yourself and your cousin?

I think some of the players were burnt out. We have all been on a emotional roller coaster

Not sure I'd go as far as burnt out but feeling fatigue and pressure, definitely.
They're human beings at the end of the day, approaching the end of a long hard season where they've given their all and playing in games where the stakes are huge, it's going to affect them.

We had two Thomas' upfront for that goal
