What chance do we stand against luck like that? It's all in our own hands. Relax and enjoy the ride. The Rams are going up........see you at Wembley.

DCFCArmy Posted April 15, 2016 Share Posted April 15, 2016 Got to admit the luck some teams enjoy is ridiculous... when was the last time we had a last gasp winner, our luck is always low as well, even stone wall penalties aren't given and we've usually been on top when they go against and then conceded a little time after it'd be nice for us to get that bit of luck in a playoff final, 90+4 heading for extra time... "MARTIN!!... UN-BELIEVABLE" as the camera pans to the Burnley fans hiding under scarves... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly don't think anyone can blame our failure at not being in the top three now on not getting our share of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's lucky about scoring a perfectly legitimate goal, be it in the first minute or last? I'm sure no-one would say we were lucky if we worked hard to get a last-gasp winner...

ipad1977 Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 I can remember Derby getting a late equaliser against Boro early on in the season, but that was a while ago. Boro tend to have a lot of late drama in their games both for and against eg; Hull and Reading in their favour, Derby and Bristol City against, but there's plenty of other games that have counted for both bad and good in the last few minutes. Burnley's luck has been mostly about their remarkably (almost injury-free in comparison to the others in the top 6) healthy first team squad, but even they have had some late goals, such as the equaliser against Brighton.

climbon Posted April 16, 2016 Share Posted April 16, 2016 Strange isn't it... a winning goal in 90+4 is seen as lucky, yet a winning goal in the 30th minute isn't. All goals are equal and all minutes on the clock are equal...there is no such thing as luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a 90+4 goal after not really playing well as jammy lol Boro probably did deserved their late goal after all the pressure, and I wasn't as bothered by Boro's tbh, but Hull we kinda do want to finish above them to get the home leg second so it was a kick in the teeth for that really.

It hit the bar, then hit the goalie on his back, then went in. A tad fortunate, I would say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I would agree with that. However, the point that I was arguing was that scoring a goal like that in the last minute is no more lucky than scoring a goal like that in the first minute.
