Lead
and missed out on the play-offs by one place— Any how many points?
Route to the final
midway through the first period, Rory Fallon put Swindon ahead.— Details?
Mooney missed his penalty and Andy Gurney's spot kick hit the post to allow Brighton to progress to the final— I assume you don't want to add too many details since this isn't the main subject of the article? But it looks like Brighton made all of their attempts?
Joel Porter equalised for Hartlepool in the second half— Minute?
Christian Roberts made it 2–1 to Bristol City in the last minute— Details?
Background
Brighton had participated in one play-off final prior to 2004— Any semifinals as well?
This was Bristol City's fourth involvement in the play-offs— Worth adding the two other semifinals?
and was content for Bristol City to be considered favourites to win this final— This sounds odd. He was content to be considered favorites, even if they didn't actually win? Also, this should be worded according to what he said, not what he thought.
"by mutual consent"— The quotation marks make it sound as if there's a private backstory. Is that intentional?
was a doubt— Sounds jargoney
Summary
Brian Tinnion's free kick was kept out by Ben Roberts.— Minute?
Virgo was shown the first yellow card of the game.— For what?
Roberts himself dropped a cross from Craig Woodman only for Tony Butler to shoot over the crossbar.— Is "himself" doing anything in this sentence? What does it mean to "drop a cross"? How did it get from Roberts to Butler?
Doherty became the first Bristol City player to be booked.— What did he do?
scoring his 26th goal of the season and making him the highest scorer in the league— In addition to these personal accomplishments, the goal's effect on the game should be mentioned: it broke the goalless tie and made it 1–0.
Post-match
Some of Brighton's players dropped the trophy while celebrating, damaging it.— Any more details about this? I know it's tangential, but it happens a lot and is entertaining to read about when it does.
confirming the play-off final defeat was critical— Is this something he said, or something that someone extrapolated?
Bristol City finished in seventh position in the Second Division and missed out on the play-offs by one place.— And how many points?
