- ... that after his side won the 2008 Football League One play-off Final, Doncaster Rovers' manager Sean O'Driscoll said he could "murder a cup of tea"?
- Reviewed: Template:Did you know nominations/Hector Munro Chadwick
- Comment: Could be quirky (crazy Brits and their tea etc).
5x expanded by The Rambling Man (talk). Self-nominated at 15:20, 31 January 2021 (UTC).
- Hi The Rambling Man, I'll take a look at this one in a bit, but first I think the link here and in the article should be Sean O'Driscoll? - Dumelow (talk) 12:54, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Indeed. Cheers. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 13:04, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- 5x expansion from 28 January confirmed; inline cited throughout and sourcing looks good; didn't spot any overly close paraphrasing; hook is interesting, mentioned in article and checks out to source; QPQ has been carried out. Looks fine to me - Dumelow (talk) 14:42, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Oh, one thing The Rambling Man. A bit repetitive to say "after his side won ... the winning manager", is there a way to rephrase? - Dumelow (talk) 14:44, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Agreed, I've updated the hook. The Rambling Man (Stay alert! Control the virus! Save lives!!!!) 14:56, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
- Just to confirm I'm happy with the amended hook - Dumelow (talk) 15:35, 1 February 2021 (UTC)

Lead
[edit]- "The top two teams of the 2007–08 Football League One season, Swansea City and Nottingham Forest, gained automatic promotion to the Championship, while the teams placed from third to sixth" - repetition of "teams"
Route to the final
[edit]- "Doncaster Rovers finished the regular 2007–08 season in third place in Football League One, the third tier of the English football league system, two places ahead of Leeds United." - repetition of "place"
- "who progressed to the Wembley final with a 3–2 aggregate victory." - play-off
- "Paul Heffernan was sent off for headbutting Southend's Peter Clarke with three minutes to go" - what caused Heffernan to headbutt Clarke?
Background
[edit]- "Doncaster had also never played a competitive at Wembley Stadium." - a word is missing from this sentence
- Also Wembley Stadium should be linked on the first mention
Summary
[edit]- "The match kicked off around 3 p.m. on 25 May 2008 in front of 75,132 spectators." - this sentence will need a direct verification from another reference, particularly to the number of spectators at the match
Post-match
[edit]- Gary McAllister is already linked in the route to the final section and doesn't really need to be linked here
References
[edit]- Reference 13 is missing the author
