Well, the visitors came and showed the sort of Christmas cheer that the Scrooge household would have been proud of. In fairness to the lads, they battled well against a well organised outfit, who should have been 2 up by the half hour mark with a couple of cracking efforts. Our lads battled back well and had a couple of excellent efforts either side of half time and had the visitors on the ropes mid way through the sewcond half. But two fantastic goals settled the match, and for me, another game where the teams were closer than their league positions. It goes to show, you must take your chances, eventually they did and we paid a hefty price for it.
The game did get niggly with about 10 to go, when Luke Smith was clearly elbowed by their No7 – alas, guess which three people in the stadium (with approx 235 fans 15 club officials 34 players 2 dogs and Wayne) didn’t see the incident – YES the dudes in black. He then got booked for complaining, nothing like sweet justice eh ?
Bizarrely, the entrance to the game was free today, only 235 brave souls and the club even laid on a free mince pie for everyone – well done chaps, muchos gracious.
I understand one of the forum members had a chat with one of its observers today, and was told that some of his “personal comments” may lead to an early scrub an’ rub from our local NHS nurses for said forum member concerned. Forums are supposed to be just a jolly place to leave opinion, not personal attack – as is the case above, it may lead to a proper personal attack if you’re not careful.
I may well be away watching the mighty Potters v Tigers when Brid are next at home, New Years Day.
To all my reader(s), have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
