Yes Dear!

I sacrificed myself for the greater good of the team. It was tied-on that a goal would be scored whilst I was visiting the ablutions. Notice how i waited until the ball had been cleared from the Stanley goalmouth first though?

I agree totally with Smiffy. We weren't at the races for the first twenty minutes, then we started to come into the game. Halifax's left winger, Howell, was a handful during the first half, and our defence was at fault for standing off him as he made a run on goal when he scored. Our 'keeper was in fine form saving a number of goal-bound shots in the first half; and then again in the second half.
The equaliser just before the break, by Jagielka, was top drawer. I doubt he will hit another volley as sweet all season.
The second half saw plenty of sustained pressure from the Reds. It was good to see the ball being passed to another red shirt, as apposed to being hoofed up field, like much of the first half. As previously discussed, I missed the winning goal, but I couldn't see anything wrong with Paul Mullins shot on goal. He appeared to run through the defence to meet the cross.

A well won three points for the Reds and Paul Crichton was my man of the match.
