Re: today
this Stanley fan was back indoors by 5.30. Well what can I say but - lucky ol' Stanley' ! Carshalton played out of their skins and if they keep it up surely will climb away from Conf Sth relegation zone. They scored first, albeit from a corner that never was (according to my Accy cousin who was down that end). After a masterful performance at Canvey last week, was I bothered ? - not a bit and after Ian Craney cracked in the equaliser I just hoped we wouldn't embarass our hosts. Comfortably in control for the rest of the half, without frightening their keeper too much. So at half-time I strolled round to behind the goal we would be attacking - wish I'd thought to take binoculars 'cos Carshalton dominated and all the play was up t'other end. Not that I could judge properly from behind their keeper - but the locals tell me that our keeper should have been sent off and a penalty awarded when he brought down their clean thru' striker. Fortunately the loose ball went to a home side player and from him into our net.So no action was taken re the pen/card.We had a few attacks (one needing a goal-line clearance) but I think Stanley fans were resigned to a justified defeat when in the last min one of their defenders was red carded for apparently giving Boco a call that he was marked when in fact he had acres in which to turn. The upshot was that Paul Mullin nodded home after the keeper parried a last shot in the dying seconds.Hard luck Robins. What a differance a week makes in Stanley's performance.
