Mossley v Prescot Cables ...

 A well balanced Kayde Coppin ...

It's been a funny old week - Bank Holiday Monday meant just five days to deliver six days of mail/parcels etc - and by heck you can tell that the weather's been bad/people are on school holiday !! Must spent most of their waking day in front of a computer screen clicking on the "OK Deliver" option ... add to that on Wednesday we had a large "Freeview TV Disruption" mail-out - to every bloomin' house ... it was phrases like "Think of the Overtime" that got me through that day !!  Still we got through the week in the end, finishing at a half-decent time on Saturday as well (despite having no car for a quick return home - not often I end up "on the train" on a Saturday - when it does happen, I'm always a little nervy about finishing and then having to dash for the hourly train to get back for football).

Still it always helps if Mossley are at home (a mere 5 mins walk) - and yesterday was one of those days, with a home game against Prescot Cables.  First half was nothing to write home about to be honest - until right on the stroke of half-time Kayde Coppin found some space to drill home .  Then - in true Mossley/Photographer style (!!!) a second goal not long after the restart (yep you've guessed it - while Smiffy was STILL coming out of the club !!) increased the comfort zone somewhat.  By the time Dave Young's free-kick had made it 3-0, the frustration on the faces of the visitors was plain to see - and it was skipper Liam Hollett who saw first yellow then red within a couple of minutes.  Not a happy bunny when leaving the pitch (kicking out at all and sundry), and apparently behaving like an *rse in the club after the game.  Cables did manage to get a consolation goal, but Lewis Nightingale - back after injury - wrapped it up with a fourth right at the death - his first goal for Mossley as well.  Pictures from the game at ...

Quick slurp after the game before home, pictures, and listening to Todd Rundgren CDs -  if you can spare a mere 18 minutes of your life to the legend that is Todd check out this - my all-time fave track - "Singring and the Glass Guitar" ...

 

 Love it love it love it - takes me back to the "heady days" of Knebworth Festival in 1976 (yes I was there !) - they didn't play this unfortunately but "Seven Rays" was the next best thing !!!   Oh go on then ... another 10 minutes of quality ...

Time to stop being so self-indulgent (!!) - need to think about varnishing some doors - and getting the "Non League Paper" as well.  Hoping to cram a couple of games in this coming midweek, either Hyde v Ebbsfleet or Stalybridge v Guiseley on Tuesday followed by Ashton United v Matlock Town.  Unfortunately haven't found anything for Monday night ... so I might have to suffer the Manchester derby !!!
