Mossley v Rushall Olympic - post Rugby ...

Can't complain at the rugby - did very well to almost reduce South Africa to the "scruffy game plan" that was England's - but basic errors to give away penalties - and an "iffy" decision from the "13th umpire in the stand" regarding the deffo try ... hey ... Mossley lose, England lose - what's left - maybe Lewis Hamilton will get done for speeding tomorrow - it always comes in threes y'know...


Back to the Mossley game - maybe I was a touch harsh - the first half saw Mossley with all the chances - but - no product - and you think coming downhill in the second half - should be a doddle - but no, it was a Dowdall (ho ho - almost a joke there !!!) . Twas an interesting last few minutes with 'keeper Ashley Connor saying "sod the sticks - I'm going up front !!" Being honest, Rushall were no great shakes - but they did exactly what was needed - and did just enough of it. We've done the same on many occasions, so credit where credit's due ...


Onwards to Chadderton on Monday - for me it's swapping Andrew Street Mossley for Andrew Street Chadderton for the Manchester Premier Cup game. There's a friendly on Wednesday v Marsden - and then on Thursday Stalybridge are "on the telly" as in Sultana Sports - Santana - the apparent saviour of non-league football as we know it - taking a leaf out of the "Book of Mr Murdoch" - "You're playing on Thursday - now shut up and we'll give you money" ... I remember once doing Weymouth v Stafford Rangers midweek - but that was just a crap League Fixture Secretary rather than "TellyMoney" !

We'll have to see which of those three options I get permission to do ..... one bright spark today was the new lens - by gum you can notice the difference, especially when you crop a picture - it remains that much sharper for that much longer - what we need now is a good night match - looks like Monday then !


Anyway - here's the STS exclusive - Richard Conway "going close" in the first half - cleared off the line this one....
