REFEREE! And that linesman. I am going to have a Mega-Rant. Two games in a row this has happened- we've had all the decisions against us and even the opposition have agreed that this is true. Both times we've had a really good first half and mostly luck and poor decisions have prevented us from going ahead before half time. Both times it's been goalless at the break. Today, in the first half, we had what we all agreed was one of the clearest penalties any of us had ever seen. Me certainly. But the ref was behind the players, who were behind the ball, so he didn't really see what happened. While I was yelling "penalty ref!" or whatever it was, I didn't see the ref look at the linesman, who was in the perfect position to see what had happened. But spparently he did, and the linesman said no. He was standing only yards away-the incident was right at the edge of the box! The Lewes player did not touch the ball- he tripped Charlie Ide, who was then booked. Certainly one of the most bizarre decisions I've ever seen. Then in the second half, another one of the most bizarre decisions I've ever seen. Lewes keeper takes a cross, loses his balance, staggers back and falls into his own net, with the ball. Nobody touched him- nobody was even near enough to touch him at that precise moment. The ball most definitely crossed the line- in fact, the keeper touched the back of the net. The ref, who was right next to him, jogged past clearly making some kind of joke (they both laughed) and did not allow the goal! We lost 2-0. Lewes were a good team, but we did not deserve to lose that. Like we didn't deserve to lose last week at Welling. Even the Lewes kit man agrees with me Still, I'm glad Billingham Synthonia won

Billingham Synthonia 1 v 0 Spennymoor Town
Spennymoor didnt play a good game, kept losing the ball and didnt have the right frame of mind or the steam to get it right in the game but Spenny had few chances to score but didnt get it in the net Syn played alright - they had more chances and took advange of our sloppy ball passing and that - so overall the best team won really

Burscough 0-0 AFC Telford UnitedA good performance but one of those games that was destined to be 0-0 straight from the off. It started slowly but end to end with neither side managing much in the way of serious chances, though Burscough have a poor away record they are yet to lose or even conceed at home this season. We however have a great away record with no league defeats home or away since January (which resulted in the old manager being sacked.) And were yet to go a game without a goal. Highlight of the first half was yet another injury for one of our players with team captain Carl Rodgers being stretchered off, news is that it's a broken ankle . Other than that very little happened. On the plus side the weather was very warm. This may be the reason why fans from both sides were so quiet you'd think it was a monestry rather than a football match. Second half came and atleast the Telford fans came into good voice, the Burscough fans didn't sing or shout once even after our request of "Burscough! Give us a song!" The game became more attacking particularly by us with Striker Gary Hay coming on in place of midfielder Ben Twigger, the game livened up from then. Like the last two games we gave away a free kick right in front of goal, unlike the last two games they didn't score from it. Overall both defences completely cancelled out the opposition strike force. a good yet somewhat dull performance, another point in the bag though and I can't see many teams going to Burscough and getting a win.....And for once the ref wasn't too bad! Final Score: BAFC 0-0 AFCTU My MotM: Again I'm torn between two players for this award so it'll be a tie again. 5) Andy Jones - very solid performance in the back line, great return for a player who hasn't started for us in a while. and 10) Lee Moore - skillful display up front with everything but a goal, perhaps could do with being a bit more selfish and going for goal when in a good position. *btw ISIHAC, neither of them played last week, AJ was on the bench while Moore was barred from playing by Tamuff, he's only on loan and they don't want him cup-tied.

Ha, quality! Poor old Scottycakes though. Sounds like an amazing end to a game from a neutral or Worcester point of view!
Giggy, you're absolutely right- it was amazingly hot for the second half of September. Wonder how long it'll last! *crosses fingers in anticipation of next weekend*
I'd also like it on record that I am jealous of Chris. He's been to Billingham Synthonia's house this weekend!

Salisbury 3 Bishop's Stortford 1Top of the League and we're having a laugh. Didn't expect to be singing that song from last season at all this time around. Good game yesterday against a fairly decent Bishops Stortford side. We went one up after about 80 seconds. A confident finish from top scorer Matt Tubbs, who's taken to the higher level with ease. The early goal didn't actually do us any favours (well, apart from the obvious one of giving us the lead!) as we sat back and relaxed a bit and let Stortford into the game. One of the best footballing sides I've seen this season but we defended well against some lively forwards. 3 minutes into the second half and we scored a second - goals right at the start of the 2nd half are becoming a bit of a habit, and unlike the ones against Sutton and Welling I acually saw this one! Veteran defender Simon Browne scoring from close range. Against the run of play Stortford pulled one back, but that was just the cue for us to go up a gear. It quickly became 3-1, defender Tim Bond scoring with a bullet header giving rise to a rendition of the 007 theme on the terraces, and for the last 20 minutes of the game we were awesome. And a word for the ref - Colin Lymer from Mayford - a rare good one, played the advantage well, booked a Stortford player for a ridiculous attempt to win a penalty, and generally let the game take its course. It's a good time to be a Whites fan right now, and it seems to be catching - another decent crowd yesterday of 1,142.

I didnt know what Synthonia's ground looked like - my dad has been before when he was younger but not me - it was my first time and i was impressed with it...what a big stand they have got...its the biggest i have seen in real life but the match wasnt great which was a shame...

Beh, i hoped it'd be far more tinpot than that! Hey, Dave, I hope your lot've broken Bishbosh's spirit rather than made them bloodthirsty, cos if they knock us out of the FA Cup this week you're to blame
