Ashton United v North Ferriby United ...

... second versus top today - managed to get there in time for kick-off thanks to the  "I can afford a taxi thanks to Ashton United giving me a season ticket for services rendered" scam !!  A fairly tight start - although the North Ferriby opener has to go down to a defensive error IMHO.  After that ... it seemed that Ferriby were more up for it - my 'silly (?)' quote on the Ashton board was that "North Ferriby were 'first' to every second ball" - makes sense to me anyway ...

Afraid the Ashton attack appeared far too dependent on one man (Aaron Burns) - and with Burns not getting on target there was no-one else to take up the slack - a late three-for-three substitution was I feel a touch too late to make any difference - and an 88th minute second goal for NFU put the seal on it.  Some pictures from today at

Home - nibbles - pics - Mrs Smiffy has buggered off for the weekend (gone to see Bellowhead in Derby with a few other family members) - but she's left a "list" - tomorrow I feel !!!  Needs doing mind - the "carpetman" arrives on Tuesday so ... some filling some painting some varnishing some "old carpet removal" from the stairs - oh and not forgetting a wondrous Sunday tea (not decided what yet tho' !).

Might go for "Match of the Day" for a change ... just started ...
