My mate was in the Bradford end and messaged me after to say how brilliant the Stags fans were and how they are a credit to the club. Chapeau

[Vinnie]

Must be an unbelievable feeling to score in front of the away fans in the last minute. Felt good enough just in the stands!

What a thriller, every player played their part. Shame perch online effort did nt give us the rub of the green. Good to see D J back and what do I say about Scott Flinders two great games Doncaster and Bradford. Leave Pym on the bench for now.

It's great to see a Stags player absolutely throw himself at a header with maximum commitment. Something we've lacked for a long time.

[Captain Cunno]

Alfie throws himself into absolutely everything 100% that's why he's becoming a cult hero already..

They must have some superb Centre Half's at Brovers...

What happened with the ball boy?

from my report:
As a sidenote, moments before the goal, a Bradford ball-boy was escorted away by a steward, after intervention from the referee who had lost patience. The ball-boy had several times deliberately wasted time by feigning to give the ball to a Stags player and then not doing so. The concentration of many of the home fans was on him being led away, to boos from the home fans, just as Hewitt was about to cross and Kilgour head home.
After the game, Bradford boss Mark Hughes was asked about it and said it did not distract his players.
I asked Nigel Clough about it after the game. He told me that Hughes and the Bradford bench were not at all happy with the antics of the ball-boy.

I hadn't noticed him doing anything before, but I did notice the time that led to him being taken off the pitch - he actually collected the ball and started to walk away with it in the opposite direction to where our player was wanting it back. That was when the referee went to the 4th official/Bradford bench, someone from the bench got up, went across to him to boos initially from the Bradford fans, then a standing ovation and hi-fives as he was led up the steps - he even waved at his own fans to take the moment in (looking at the Bradford fans video), at just the moment we equalised. So that was nice.
