Well i had the curry and lager and i am now sat with the Laptop on my lap with a glass of ten year tawny on the coffee table.
Reached the ground just gone 1pm....
Enjoyed the Mersey Clipper and i am happy to report that we took £14 out the 'Who wants to be a Millionare' on a £2 stake.........two month gestation period for a Kangaroo......get in.
£2-99 for a steak pie and chippers (which was good as well).
2-50 ish....over the road to the away end....great view ala Millwall and for £14-50....everything was going well.
The match....another matter.
Tranmere pissed all over us for the first 15-20 minutes and then we got into the game and started to make a fist of it.....Bas Savage got injured and i enjoyed asking him for a Moonwalk when he limped by me..that was it as far as the first half panned out...poor.
Second half was more eventful.
Tranmere scored after some sloppy defending and that was that.....they never really threatened again.
The key moment was the sending off........there was no need as Cox could of stayed on his feet and scored..the ref had little choice after he gave the foul, Cox was 'knocked' but not enough to send him sprawling.
The free kick summed up our display for the rest of the match....showed promise but failed to deliver.
We have now got Brez playing in reasonable form in the sticks.
The defence look better altough Ifil looked dodgy at times (somebody please tell him he cannot make 40 yard cross field passes please).
Looked lively up front with Billy playing well and holding the ball up well, Cox as ever was a threat and his pace and touch was alling problems.
Peacks for Paynter was a baffling mistake.....Paynter unlucky as his shot some how didnt go in.
Peaks huffed and puffed when he came on and won some good headers but ruined it all right at the death with the stupid dive (even if his shirt was tugged slightly).
Midfield...where do i start.....fucking shite.
Kanyuka poor....went missing first half and replaced by 'wading through treacle' pace Nalis who tried but his legs and feet dont do what his brain tells them....a waste.
Amankwaah....played well and Tranmere didnt like him...he won headers and his short burst of pace did cause problems, replaced (wrongly IMO) by our 'luxtury' player Macnamee who ran up his own ass again.............at this level of football...beat the player and cross...thankyou. The wrong type of player for a scrap!!
Robson Kayak Canoooooo, Played ok but at one point he played a poor cross and his head went down and never came up again could of been replaced by Peacks and left Paynter on IMO.
Timlin - playing on his heels rather than his toes....getting a bit tired of his brilliant pass, two shit giveaways form.
IMO when they went to ten - Nalis and Timlin should of been screaming for the ball and controlling the play....it just didnt happen...we lost patience gave the ball away and lost the game.
In short our midfield are reactive and not proactive.
Finished my day by having another row with a steward...luckily my mate Chilly dug me in the ribs enough for me to back down and get out!
Followed all the way down the M6 and M5 by someone flashing me....
Big Cull in the Summer.
In the meantime..........fail to beat Cheltnumb on Tuesday and we are royally fucked!!! Game Over!
PS - The referee was outstanding........didnt get alot wrong.
