MOOR GREEN 2 Stalybridge Celtic 1
This was a weird game. First half we hammered them, should have been 2 or 3 up in the first twenty minutes but were only awarded an offside goal. When I say offside, I mean OFFSIDE by a good three or four yards! I looked at the lino (along with the ref) and could not believe that he was signalling a goal. Staly were really wound up and gave the lino some of the severest grief I've ever heard in over 50 years of watching footie. I can't remember whether we got our second before or after one of their centre backs was shown a red for last man bringing down our striker but again on both occasions the lino came in for much effin' cword abuse. I have to say the ref was poor, allowing much jumping into oppo players and tackles from behind leadind to injuries and six minutes of added time. So, two nil up and cruising against ten men at half time.
The second half was better for Staly from a football point of view, they were now on top and only some superb 'keeping kept us in front. They did get a consolation and we briefly rallied but it was the old story of ten men feeling hard done by digging in and outplaying eleven. The record will show us as victors and we've now beaten Droylsden, Worcester and Stalybridge, three of the leading pack and expected contenders for promotion, lost narrowly to Harrogate, been slaughtered by Scarborough (so I'm told) and beaten Farsley. Bring on Blyth next month ;D, if we're not in the FA Cup.

AFC Telford United 4-1 Ossett Town
An excellent performance to make up for the bore-draw of Tuesday. We attacked straight from the off not giving Ossett a second, on 9 minutes 'dancing' Jimmy Turner scored his second goal of the season from an aukward angle after a cross by wing back/turned midfielder/gone back to wing-back again Dean Craven. What baffled me was that they had a player off injured and he was a defender, yet they still saw fit to have 3 up front. I admire a team who goes away and goes straight for the attack but surely when you're a man down you should put someone in defence.
Within 4 minutes however we seemed to get ahead of ourselves and they started attacking back, ossett were given a free-kick from a good area, keeper Brock made a save but another player came though to score an excellent goal for the visitors leaving Brockie with no chance. This seemed to wake us up and we contiued to search for a goal to take the lead. On 16 minutes Dean Craven got a goal of his own with an powerful shot from 20 yards out. Another goal was scored 2 minutes into injury time, again another great one by Dean Craven (who was incidently one of the first two players to sign for the new club alongside former-buck Carl Tranter.)
After half time we carried on from where we started with top scorer Steve Foster grabbing another for us making it 4-1 to the Bucks.
On 58 minutes something rather strange happened, there was a bit of a scuffle between Glenn Tolley (another who's been here since the start) and one of their players. IT didn't look much from what we saw but after quickly checking with his linesman he showed both a red card. After another discussion with his liesman he called Tolley back onto the field, their guy followed but the lino sent him back, he talked to Tolley and then proceeded to send him off again. In good telford fashion on both occasions he was sent off we was cheered off the pitch by the surprised fans. We expected both to get off with a booking.
Ossett now finally did drop a person up front going from 4-3-3 in a 4-3-2. Despite being 3 goals up we surprisngly also went from a 5-3-2 to a 4-3-2 with Deano going into midfield.
To say Ossett were a rough team would be an understatment, I think that makes their 4th red of the season! Their keeper was lucky to avoid the walk of shame after plowing into Foster after the whistle had gone leaving Fozzie needing treatment (he got his revenge with the goal) while one of their forwards saw fit to push Brockie down while he tried to drop kick a ball.....the ref ignored the first and gave us a free kick for the second (which basically meant brock just couldn't hold it anymore.
Final Score AFCTU 4-1 OTFC
My MotM: 3) Dean Craven, a constant threat on the left wing, set up a great goal and scored 2 more of his own, played well in both defence and midfield.

Thanks for them. I've never been failed by both Non-league daily and Tony Kempster before, I was lost for anything to do.

Hucknall Town 1-2 Blyth Spartans
Wow, what a way to win it - Hucknall are definitley the best team we've played this season so to come away with all three points especially after going a goal down early in the first half is fantastic.
The first half left a fair score line of one nil to Hucknall, we were a yard behind the pace of the game really and Hucknall had the better of the chances. We had enough posession but lacked ideas when we were in their half.
Hucknall had a decent pacey attack and with a bit more clinique upfront could have added another goal to their tally. We had a couple of good half chances but not as much as we would have liked.
The danger of the Hucknall attack made itself clear early on when a good move down the left was averted by a brilliant Ben Christensen tackle. However Hucknall were not to be denied and after a quarter of an hour they took the lead when Laurie Wilson's shot left Adam Bartlett unsighted....1-0.
Wilson was again involved in another attack but thankfully this time he sliced his shot wide. We had our first real chance after about 25 minutes when from a corner Andy Leeson volleyed a shot which clipped the net supports.
A few minutes later Robbie Dale went past a couple of defenders and his deft lob landed on the roof of the nets. The Hucknall keeper almost handed us our route back into the game when his poor throw out was intercepted by Liam Gildea with the ball falling to Dale who in turn set up Scotty Bell but his cross was intercepted.
Second half we changed the balance of the game in our favour and did a lot better with the ball forcing Hucknall into numerous (and aimless) long balls. We could sense the equaliser coming and so it did when a Gareth Williams cross into the box was challenged by both Michael Hedley and the Hucknall keeper. With Hedley being much bigger then their keeper the inevitable happened and Hedley pounced on the loose ball to make it 1-1.
Minutes later we almost had our noses infront when Robbie Dale was put through by Liam Gildea but he skewered his shot just wide. With about five minutes remaining Forster crossed in a free kick which Dale attempted to lay onto McCabe but the Hucknall defence were equal to it and they safely cleared.
Seemed like a draw was on the cards and to be honest we'd have been very happy with that but there was to be once last twist to this match. Deep into injury time Dale took the ball into the corner to play down the clock but also managed to get a corner.
The safe option would have been to keep the ball there but to his credit Robbie made best use of the corner attacking wise and played the ball to Forster who sent in a powerful low shot towards the crowded goal and Scotty Bell was on hand to glance the ball into the roof of the nets to send the travelling supporters delerious.
Although it was definitley Scotty Bell who scored the winner several different write up's had different goal scorers. So for our winning goal you have either:
a) Scotty Bell b) Richie Forster c) Ben Richards from the running man

We are becoming the bad luck cliche Fraid I disagree, Botty Boy. I don't think I've seen one game this season that we deserved to win (and I have been to every one) with the possible exception of our 2-2 draw against Fisher. Saturday was certainly not an exception. We were completely lacklustre again. If you don't create chances then you're not going to win games except by the blindest luck and I for one do not want to try relying on luck.

We are either sh*t or unlucky, Scooby against Basingstoke was unlucky, Gibbs at Fisher, there's four points gone. I think we deserved to win against Basingstoke and Fisher and at least draw with Eastleigh, everytime we've cobbled together a decent performance bad luck has got in the way of points. I'm not saying we've not been poor but a bit of luck wouldn't go amiss.
