Their aim is to waste as much time as possible... ...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. Hang on. The referee does the correct thing by adding on wasted time and you complain that he 'did nothing' then moan latter when he does do something? Crazy. ...be as cynical as possible, and complain as much as possible for the entire game. Wow! I need to play for this team! That is exactly is what I do best. You need to recommend me to their manager. Just omit the bit about me being unfit and crap at football!

What you want is a referee from Chelmsford, when you are playing away to Braintree.

Oh, I hardly think a referee from Chelmsford is likely to give a toss about Braintree Town, and if he does he's far more likely to be biased AGAINST them in a local rivalry type way. Cant believe you lot got home so early from the braintree I thought sutton had a reputation for drinking. Everybody's dead, Dave! Good point you make there. But: 1) Would YOU want to drink in or near Braintree? 2) It was pissing down 3) No money 4) Stuff to do at home 5) Had to be up rather early this morning to catch a train to the Costa del Eastbourne (the so-called Sunshine Coast, where it chucked it down all day, including hail) Don't worry, my loves. Normal drinking service shall be resumed as of this week!

Sh1t, you've gone all 'west country' on us BTW Botty, Sutton is not "very far" from Braintree. Your southern lack of geography's letting you down again. Are American's descended from southerners? Their geography and concept of distances is crap as well (still no 'evil' emoticon I see!).

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. You forgot to mention the fact that Sigere was clearly offside, Dave..... Quality side though, Lewes, make no mistake!! And yes, I agree the Sutton Mob talk a good pint, but I'm yet to be convinced they can measure up to their claims.... "A legend in their own mind", perhaps? Great map, Medibot! Don't know how you did it, but the best bit of quality cartographical tomfoolery I've seen in a good while! ;D

Class start, defended solidly and took our chances very well.
First half they had a fair bit of posession but we had the better of the chances. Second half we came out fighting and we scored after a few minutes from a curling Alex Gildea shot. They pressed us in search of an equaliser but we held firm and with a few minutes to go Robbie Dale lobbed the keeper from 25 yards out on the right wing to seal our first three conference north points on our first attempt.
Excellent Spartan turnout aswell, despite the long 5 hour journey we had about 80-100 there at Redditch.

One Nationwide South result tonight (I was going to go to the game but ran out of money ) Thurrock 2-4 Eastbourne "almost chuck away a four-goal lead " Borough. Which puts Borough top of the league. I'm in for it now...

Is that a Red Dwarf quote i see before me?
Hayes 1 - 3 Histon
We most certianly didn't deserve to loose this game. We played good football and even a Histon suppporter came onto our forum to say that the scoreline didn't do us any justice. Not making excuses but we did have half a team of debutants who had to gel very quickly. I'm impressed with the signings we've made and their first performance. Some dodgy passes but thats to be expected.
I've got the Eastleigh away game to go to tonight. Leaving home at 2:30pm to get there nice and early to sample the sort-of-ok bar. I remember the last game away to Eastleigh. Wayne Shaw got so much stick (which 'large' player doesn't?) and in the end he snapped and started shouting at our supporters saying "Come on then i'll take any of you on!" He came running over to a section of us, one fan put his hands out to stop him and he launched himself to the ground like a two tun sack of spuds! Who said football matches lost their spark?

Monday, Worcester City 3 - 3 Nuneaton Borough Att: 1,189 Clegg 26, 79 Wood 23 Reeves 5 Murphy 13, 65[PEN] Worcester City and Nuneaton Borough played out one of the most entertaining football matches that St Georges Lane has witnessed in many a year last night. The crowd, just short of 1,200, of which around 150 were travelling 'Boro fans, were not disappointed with what they saw, as the noise at the final whistle suggested. Two superb free kicks from George Clegg, one in either half gave City a deserved point after falling 0-2 and 2-3 behind to title contenders, Nuneaton. Nuneaton started like a house on fire, and got their lead inside 5 minutes. Gez Murphy's shot was saved by McDonnell but fell nicely for Martin Reeves who slotted home. Murphy got his first a little before the quarter hour mark when he thwarted the City back line with an exquisite turn, his shot was almost stopped by 'keeper Danny McDonnell, but the ball squeezed in. The first of George Clegg’s masterpiece free kicks was scored on 23 minutes, when he fired a 20 yard shot over the wall into the bottom corner of Acton’s goal, leaving him completely stranded. Troy Wood blasted City level 3 minutes later from six yards after being played in by Wilding and City were the better team by a mile until half time. But the visitors started the second half as they had started the first and took a deserved lead on 65 minutes through a Gez Murphy penalty. Although it was difficult to see through all the bodies, it appears there was a push by a City defender, and Gez Murphy slotted home to Danny McDonnell’s right. From then on, City stepped up a gear and George Clegg lesson in free kick taking part II, was on display 11 minutes from time, Clegg’s free kick swerved around the wall, around a dancing Craig Wilding and into the bottom right had corner of Acton’s goal, inch perfect, and the vociferous City crowd went mad. I think even my family, on holiday in Canada heard the roar. A Cracking atmosphere, a good attendance, plenty of goals, and most importantly a bloody good game of football.

Eastleight 2 - 1 Hayes
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We go 1-0 up and we lose 2-1!!! It the second game in a row where we deserve at least a point and we throw it away! Was very surprised Wayne Shaw was there again (As long as he's still there when we next go there i'll be happy) He does take some stick but he's good for a laugh. He even came up to a few of us at the bar and we chatted for a little while. At least our goal was the pick of the three. Lovely Shaun McCauley volley.
Got back to Hayes just before midnight. Lovely midweek away games. *God i'm blood tired!*

Farnborough 0 Salisbury 1 Pleased to get a first win under our belts though not a classic performance. First half we weren't too great at all, both sides had chances but 0-0 was about right. A few times in the second half we realised that there is life beyond hoofing long balls up to our strikers, and when we did start passing it looked very good. Luke Prince scored a great goal, running at the full back, beating him and shooting across the keeper. Last season's top scorer Matt Tubbs had 2 one on ones which he hit straight at the keeper and supersub Robbie 'Mooncat' Matthews latched onto an appaling clearance by the boro keeper but hit the post after going too wide. Nearly paid for it at the end as boro nearly sneaked one in. Good turn out of Whites at the game, quite a few more than 100 from a quick head count, though just the usual suspects singing. 4 points from 2 games though, now the long trek to Thurock on Saturday.

We've got Newport away on Bank Holiday Monday! August Bank Holiday seems a bit of a strange one. We've got to go to Histon, just about our longest trip, then they come to us on Easter Monday. I thought those dates would have been localish.
