AFC Telford United 1-3 Whitby Town
AFC Telford United's 37 game unbeaten run spanning back to january this year came to an abrupt end against Playoff hopefuls Whitby Town. The match contained a few strange decisions for both teams. 3 leading to conroversial goals, one preventing a good goal opportunity.
Telford started straight on the attack with Lee Moore making a run at the defence. Steve Foster was brough down right infront of goal by Whitby's keeper but ref waved for play on. The game got a bit more balanced with neither team looking likely to score. Whitby scored on 9 minutes after winnig a corner. Jai Stanley put the corner behind when a simple clearance would have done a trick so they got a second corner. A defensive blip gave a Whitby player a clear cut chance which Brockie somehow saved from close range but could only parry it for a Whitby player to score fro the rebound. The goal seemed to wind Telford and for much of the match we seemed ineffective.
After half time we started to come into it a bit more but couldn't get going against a Whitby side determined to keep the lead. On 54 minutes Telford striker Justin Marsden was alleged to have been brought down in the box. Ref pointed at the spot and even Telford fans who were near the goal claim it didn't look a penalty to them. Steve Foster walked up to take it, striking it low and hard into the corner. 1-1 from a dodgy penalty but it did make up for the clear penalty ignored at the start.
From this point we looked likely to come back and win it but it wasn't to be. Player after player came forward leaving the defence exposed. On 74 minutes a Whitby player got the ball in what seemed to us an offside position, ofcourse the lino was somewhere by the half-way line and didn't see it. Whitby scored a goal just as conrversial as ours to make it 1-2. Telford continued to pressure but seemed to struggle whenever going into the area. Centre-back Indy Khela was pushed up to switch from a 5-3-2 to a 4-3-3 in a hope to get an equaliser.
Whitby got another goal deep into injury time which everyone in the ground but the match officials were adamant was from an offside position. The ref had his back turned and went to ask the linesman but bear in mind this is he lino who'd never been anywhere near where play was at the time. He insisted it was a goal so it stood. 1-3.
Wing-back Lee Vaughan got back to try and tackle the player but didn't get there in time and collided with the goalpost. We had a sub left but with a matter of about a minute left it just didn't seem worth it. Vaughan spent the rest of extra time being treated on the sidelines. The ref blew for full time and Vaughan was stretchered off after the players have left - though we've since heard he should be fine for Saturday. Overall despite the conroversial goals Whitby deserved to win due to taking their chances. We were left wondering 'what if' about the many chances we had wasted, including several where Whitby's keeper had fumbled and dropped the ball, or nearly even carried it over his own line.
With our unbeaten run now at an end we are still top of the league but Hednesford came behind twice to beat Gateshead away 3-2 and have caught us on points. We do however have far superior goal difference and a game in hand yet. Hopefully we can strike back straight away next week away.
The mai nconcern is that at home we conceed some stupid goals. We've only conceeded 1 away this season but 10 at home, several down to defensive mistakes.
Final Score: AFCTU 1-3 WTFC
My MotM: 11. Lee Moore

I went to the football match on Saturday between Ha-ant!-yes and Sut-termite!-eat. This was a very exciting game, becuase Sut-termite!-eat scored FOUR goals while Ha-ant!-yes scored none at all! ;D I went with Amberaleman, who bought me from the Natural World shop where I had to share a shelf with orang-utans and eastern bongos and other "undesirables". I met some of Amberaleman's friends on Saturday. Ambersalamander, who is pretty as a gazelle , rode her bicycle all the way to Ha-ant!-yes and all the way home again. I also met Medibot, who liked me and is tall as a giraffe. After the match had finished, I went with Amberaleman and Medibot on something called "the pish". This meant going to some pubs and drinking a lot of beer. A lot of people came over to say hello to me. One man told Amberaleman how to pronounce "aardvark" properly in Afrikaans. ;D In another pub I met Morticia from the Addams family, though I don't think she liked me very much. I enjoyed my day out very much, and am looking forward to Sut-termite!-eat's next game, which is at Cor-insects!-and-cashews. I'm tired now, so will have some termite soup then go for a nap in my burrow. I hope to meet some more of you tinpotters soon! Bye! AtA

Soooo. We have a new toy then; do we?? It has long been said that the regular users on the terrace, in general, could benefit from some kind of psychiatric intervention... OK. Welcome, Amber the Aardvark. Welcome to the terrace.

If the amount of time Amber spent snuffling over this keyboard is anything to go by, she won't be allowed near my PC again for a long while ;D
