[Col ISIHAC.]

To those of you with the first competitive game today - best of British (Unless you are a Cambridge fan, in which case )

This'll be stickied for a while so you may put rants, reports, whatever on here.

This is so Giggy gets jealous, as he has to wait another week!

[snigger]

What have I done?

[coops]

Weymouth managed to shatter all our pre-season confidence after just 10 seconds. Ten bloody seconds!

I hate football.

[J Esaj PRA]

You had pre-season confidence?

*sound of uncontrollable laughter*

A bit of pretty football against a couple of youth teams doesn't fool me. It's the weakest TFC side I've seen in years - a right bunch of pansies!

[frankiegth]

A point for the mighty yellows at bower fold today, should have got more but I'll settle for that. We're lookin' good and I think we're gonna ruffle a few feathers.

[ambersalamander]

We won we did!!! ;D

Shame eastbourne are a goal above us though

Interesting burgers Braintree; they put cheese, bacon AND sausage in as well as yer normal burger. Quite squishy. Nice. High 7/10 but I'm hard to please.

ISIHAC- why?! You were supposed to beat Cambridge to annoy all my nice little Cambridge friends.

Our league table stands thus after a marathon haul of one game apiece:

1. Dorchester (W 4-1)
2. Bishop's Stortford (W 4-2)
3. Histon (W 3-1)
4. Eastbourne (W 2-0)
5. Cambridge (W 3-2)
6. Sutton (W 1-0)
= Welling (W 1-0)
8. Fisher (D 3-3)
= Newport (D 3-3)
10. Boringstoke (D 1-1)
= Bedford (D 1-1)
= Beastleigh (D 1-1)
= Lewes (D 1-1)
= Salisbury (D 1-1)
= Thurrock (D 1-1)
= Everyone else in the bloody league, near enough
16. Havant & Waterlooville (L 2-3)
17. Braintree (L 0-1)
= Weston-super-Mare ;D (L 0-1)
19. Bognor Regis (L 2-4)
20. Ha Yes (L 1-3)
21. Yeading (L 0-2)
22. Farnborough (L 1-4 poor farnborough with their 10 point deduction)

[Col ISIHAC.]

Why??

Without being too bitter; I'd suggest that City have set their stall out early. Their aim is to waste as much time as possible; be as cynical as possible, and complain as much as possible for the entire game.

Last season they were one of the most entertaining visitors to our place. Carry on like this and we'll all be wishing that they HAD folded last year after all!

We went 0 - 2 down, conceded one on the stroke of half time and then a penalty just after the break for reasons known only to the referree - then got back to 2 - 2, had one disallowed, were cleared off the line three times, then conceded a silly one five minutes into added time - time added because the ref had resorted to stopping his watch every time their keeper had a goal kick to take because he was so facking slow.

Robbed.

You don't mean that!

Scooooooooooooooooooooooobbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbby!!!

Feckin' get in there. Three points and another goal for John "scooby" Scarborough

[davetscfc]

Cant believe you lot got home so early from the braintree I thought sutton had a reputation for drinking.

We'll settle for having a point on the board against the red hot faves to win the league.

Pretty even game i think. We got a pen (dodgy I thought) and for the next 10 mins or so, Lewes were rocking and we could hsve had another. But once they equaised, thought theyd win it, so happy with the 1-1.

[ojiveojive]

Well, we went down 1-0 to a 48th minute goal to the second favourites for promotion when our brains were still in the dressing room. Apart from that we matched them and could have been ahead at the break but..... we weren't. I'm optimistic, even though we will play most of the favourites in the first few weeks, I think we'll be in the top six or seven come next April.

Barrow 0 - 1 Worcester City

Given the problems with injuries at HQ recently, had you offered a draw before the game many Worcester City fans wouldn't have taken long to accept the offer. So, imagine the glee from the visiting supporters at Holker Street when Craig Wilding's looping, swerving header found its way over the line off the woodwork leaving the 'keeper stranded after a little less than half-an-hour. Barrow were always in with a chance of getting at least a point from the game as City gave away numerous stupid free kicks. Danny McDonnell pulled off a blinding save midway through the second half when one-on-one with the Barrow striker but consistent with the rest of their afternoon, Barrow couldn't finish and Worcester celebrated to the tune of Time is Tight.
