Late Late Equilizer

Nothing like a last minute goal against local rivals to excite the locals !

Bolton Wanderers supporters celebrating our last kick of the match (well a header actually) equalizing goal against local rivals Blackpool FC

As for the match, Blackpool took a shock lead when a hopeful punt up field split a static Wanderers defence. The rest of the match saw Bolton huff and puff as they attempted to break down some desperate defending in a game which actually didn't matter. Blackpool are all but relegated and Bolton are all but safe from relegation.

We won't discuss the sad state of Blackpool FC, whose are in club in turmoil, to say the least
Loving the drama

Good shot, some great expressions. Sunderland beat Newcastle today - just in time to escape relegation? Maybe!

@happypat thanks pat, i don't know what is happening at Blackpool, the fans want the Oyston's out as they believe they have wrecked the club. As an outsider I cannot comment on that, but the club are in a real mess

@phil_howcroft everybody feels that the Oystons have had their hands in their pockets Phil...they are hated in Blackpool & so arrogant with it. A real shame because when they were in the premier league & that fab manager who's name has just slipped my mind....when he was there they were buzzing & so was Blackpool. They wouldn't let him spend any money on players so it was all down hill.

@happypat Ian Holloway is the name you were looking for pat. The few Blackpool fans who made the journey to Bolton made their feeling towards the Oystons known, in no uncertain circumstances

@phil_howcroft That's him....a real charismatic guy!

I think this qualifies as 'reportage' (just learnt that!) and I like the emotion you've captured, in particular the guy with his hand over his mouth!!!
