Chadderton v Mossley (Manky Prem Cup)

Oh dear....oh very dear...

Many have said that - while a picture paints a thousand words, the words are far more interesting - well in many cases - THEY'RE WRONG ...

..because tonight, there's no need to paint a thousand words - just a few pithy "easy-off-the-tongue" type words would do ...

We were not good - never really threatened - gave away a comical oggy - missed a pen (hey that''s the Mossley we know - and still love ..) - and never really looked like winning. It could have gone to extra-time and pens tonight - at 85 minutes I'm sure many of us were willing Mossley NOT to score - I may be horribly wrong here - but ....this is a team TWO divisions below ...we're running out of cups, and this WAS one where progression was likely (OK - posible)

Stick with the pictures...

Well there's a few - but even here I have a "crisis of faith" - when the pro says "go for 1/350 @ ISO 1600 - and then post edit avec Photoshop" (OK he ain't French - he did say with !!) I worry - I'll be perfectly honest now - 99.999% of my pix are "straight up" - some of you oldsters may remember that line on the back of every Queen LP - "NO SYNTHESISERS" - well for me it's "NO PHOTOSHOP" - yes I may have dabbled a couple into monochrome over the last few months (and said so) - but mostly what you see is what you get - with the odd one-click "AutoCorrect" in Microsoft Picture Manager - and that's hardly bloody PS CS3 is it ??

Again tonight - new lens on a first outing night-time game - Chadderton lights - North West Counties standard in the "lux" rating (remember I tended to get very good results at Stalybridge Celtic with the "old" lens - that's Conference lux that is !) PS here's Michael Fish saying "Oh Blogger" - or something like that ...

Blooming heck forgot about that - seem to recall it was not the best/most accurate answer anyway - one Benjamin (I think ?) Outram.

Remember - it's not the roll-over jackpot - it's the taking part !!
