Whatever the weather, we spent almost half the game with nine men and reduced Hartlepool to running the clock down and their fans only piping up to whistle at the ref to blow full-time. May the conditions that led to that never be repeated, but clearly we're hard to play against.
A 215-mile trip to Maidenhead for me. Or so it would be, but it's one mile off my journey to watch Leyton Orient vs. Barnet so I'll be going to that instead.
I'm guessing the forum went down in anticipation of this hotly contested Brotherhood derby we all attended last night, but it was a point that both sides appear pleased with. Loads of effort but few chances either way. Perhaps there's no team in this league as lethal as Tranmere Rovers last...
No idea how we've brought someone like Joe Skarz in. Well, it shows how mad priorities are at Bury, but even then he could've just as easily joined the Mighty Wrecsam.
That's nothing. Over one festive period we had Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United and Arsenal, and whupped 'em all apart from a thrilling 1–1 draw at Stamford Bridge. In between we also had friendlies at Barcelona and Corinthians' grounds to keep our legs fresh, and a cool 4–0 home win at...
NOT LEGALLY, but yeah. 5.7% of reports end up in a conviction and most gentlemen don't celebrate their innocence by headbutting three women on a night out.
I don't expect them to notice my absence, but many people have certainly remarked on the low attendance today and hushed atmosphere. It's about the collective not the individual, as ever with football (among other things)...
For the first time I've been in town since we reformed, I'll be giving this one a swerve. Can't countenance having Simon Lenighan in our squad, someone who's attracted trouble a number of times and remains in some sort of public-facing work while I can't yet see satisfying evidence that he's...
I remember it being very on-off but the postponements were hopelessly sporadic. For you I believe we had an original home fixture in mid-late March where the snow really came down (drifts around mine were up to 9ft deep). Similarly to when we got into the Conference and lost 2–0 at home to yous...
I think regardless of everything else, when you have players so quick to jump neither side is left with much longing.
Spennymoor's problem now, and I'm pretty sure he will be a "problem" at some point despite having it in him to tear through Conf North defences.
Cheers for the nollidge Steve. Interesting you say he had some talent, as he was pants for us at Chester when we had him for I think 45 minutes of competitive football a few years back. As well as being as yous I believe he's turned out for Harrogant, Clitheroe, Warrington and Shaw Lane in that...
