Bang in form Shrewsbury v bang in form Plymouth.

Heady times.

Hey GO, you going to Fisher then? Looks like I 'll be there with a crony.

Bolehall Swifts vs Hinckley.

It’s going to rain and I’m told Bolehall’s pitch is crap, so maybe it won’t be on. Which would probably suit some Hinckley directors as a few supporters would quite like a chat about how it is they’ve managed to agree an extension of our current groundsharing agreement at Heather without having held a binding vote of the membership.

Another game off. Hinckley have only played three times since Boxing Day, none of them at home.

[Big Boobs and FIRE!]

Nothing happening churches wise. I'm not sure any games actually get played at Ibis anymore. Third wash out of the season.

Better luck with the proper rugby.

I am indeed here. Are you?

KFU, after largely dominating play, finally put the ball in the net. Offside...

[N est à?]

Sadly not there, short of cash, and no cashpoints nearer than canada water, where we are now. Going to have to sack it off

[Gangster Octopus]

Goal-free at half time. You've not missed much...

[Gangster Octopus]

Early second half penalty to KFU. 0-1.

[Jorge Porbillas]

A last minute chnge of plans by Mrs JP means I haven't gone to Y Cae Ras today so am listening to it on the internet ... it does seem like we're "doing a Wrexham" i.e. having impressed over the last few weeks, gone top, attracted a decent crowd, controlled the game and then scored first ... we're fucking it up.

[Gangster Octopus]

Fair play to the Fisher fans; despite a very ordinary display, they've barely stopped singing. Not sure that I've ever heard singing at this level before...

[Gangster Octopus]

Good run down the wing and cross. 0-2.

[Gangster Octopus]

Very similar makes it 0-3.

[Gangster Octopus]

By the way, this appears to be the home of Millwall Lionesses rather than Fisher, going by the advertising hoardings.

[Big Boobs and FIRE!]

And some football to end the day.

The railings on the left are actually the starting straight for the racecourse.

[Big Boobs and FIRE!]

Needlessly complicated signs at football.

[Gangster Octopus]

Finished 0-3. And my sense of direction was shot, so I got a bus going south. Still, I'm on a Met going the right way now...

[Snake Plissken]

Why before Saturday and Sunday before 1pm? When does the restriction start? Is this like asking when it is safe to feed a Gremlin?

Maltby Main 3-2 Parkgate

Maltby made hard work of this considering they were 3-1 up after half an hour. Their third goal was one of the best I've seen this season, the striker chest trapped and volleyed from outside the box into the corner. "We didn't know he could fucking do that either" said the Maltby assistant. After the interval Parkgate had slope advantage and Maltby never got going. The pitch wasn't conducive to good football, after the morning rain it had dried a bit and rather a lot of the top came off. Obviously the NCEL is renowned for tiki-taka football on billiard table surfaces in normal circumstances.

First game for absolutely ages that didn't need the floodlights turning on, which was pleasing.

[Giggler]

95th minute equaliser for Bury? After they went 2-1 down to ten men on 88? While you’re in the home stand? Isn’t it? You know. Marvellous. Our chairman saw me and called me by my name too.

[Southport Zeb]

Went to Mersey Royal v Marshalls Reserves in Division Three of the West Cheshire League. Royal play on a 3G pitch at Wirral Tennis Centre from where you can see some warehouses and the railway. Pretty dull first half then got better in the second in which Marshalls scored twice. Referee just about kept control, perhaps surprisingly sending off just one of the home team.

Bang in form Shrewsbury v bang in form Plymouth.

Heady times.

Plymouth far more in form today. They out-Shrewsbury-ed Shrewsbury, choked our midfield, starved our forwards, harassed our defence, scored a nice goal set up with a simple, deft touch and snaffled up a half-chance to deservedly take the three points. Despite missing a penalty. No complaints.

Blackburn the only side in the top four to scrabble so much as a point today. Rotherham looking well dangerous.

Who are we playing next week...?
