I've made it to the Donny Brewery Tap, it is punishingly cold and I'm sorely tempted to sack the football off and just do a pub run.

Southport lost for the first time in about ten games this afternoon, losing 1-0 to Solihull. It's fair to say that Southport didn't try particularly hard, starting seven debutants, most of whom made little impression. Solihull also didn't seem too bothered and the first half was without a shot on target. Throughout the weather was abysmal, with heavy rain and strong winds.
Positives for the day were that the pitch held up well despite the weather, and most of the squad having a rest before Monday's replay.

Armthorpe Welfare 2-3 Parkgate
Five on the spin for Gate now, they were pegged back twice in the game but knocked in the winner with five minutes left. I know this because I shamelessly copied this off the NCEL website. It was so fucking cold I passed off on the game and did a mini crawl around some fine pubs of Donny, and I got to watch nine ukulelesits, a singer, a drummer, a guitarists and a bongoinger play Merry Christmas Everybody. What did you do with your Saturday?
In a more practical point, have Wednesday still not sacked the fucking useless tosspot and replaced him with Steve Bruce? Jos Jos.Last edited by longeared; 15-12-2018, 18:50.

Didn't feel much at all, tbh. So it might be a while before that happens again. If ever.
Charlton had a chap sent off in the first minute, for a foul. which looked less serious from where I was sitting than it did reviewing it later on TV. They proceeded to make no attempt whatsoever to use the one-man advantage, and then levelled the situation through Pinnock's collecting a second yellow for a shit dive when it looked easier for him to carry on and do something.
For all but about ten minutes of the game, I couldn't tell what Wimbledon were trying to achieve. I'm assuming it wasn't "to lose two-nil".
Lyle Taylor is still great.

We made it to the Carlisle match, even overcoming the last minute hitch of my mate, in putting his jumper back on as we were leaving the pub, contriving to slice his finger open on a Christmas decoration. I'm still laughing at the look on the barman's face as my mate explained the situation to him while asking for a plaster.
After a fairly balanced first half in which we took a one goal lead, we rattled in two more early in the second and one of us said out loud something about going back to the pub and the other agreed so off we went, leaving a 3-0 lead by 4.30. We were on our second when our fourth goal appeared on Sky, in the fifth minute of injury time. Somewhere along the way we agreed with our other match going mate that we'd go to Crewe in February and he booked the train before we could change our minds. We're four points off the play off positions even though we have no right to be. Heady times.

I have a feeling, now I think about it some more, that it may have been warm and sunny. Although this suggests it may well have rained.Last edited by DCI Harry Batt; 15-12-2018, 20:16.

There were several Colchester fans already in the pub, understandably.
