Yes, the ref was unbelievably bad, seemingly booking Stanley players for every tackle, whilst ignoring blatant sending-off offences such as the one which led to the penalty. I was talking to Rocky at half-time and he agreed that, if he'd made a challenge in similar circumstances, there was no way he would have stayed on the pitch!
The bad referee does not, however, excuse the total capitulation once again in the second half. Roberts seems to have lost confidence completely, which in turn gives Kenny the jitters. Craney, whilst I admire him as a footballer, is not, and never will be an out and out striker. Aswad seems to have lost the plot. Kempson had a good game, whilst Proccy, Leam and Phil did ok, but that is as much as you can say. I certainly don't think the recall of Brown will solve any problems, as I think he peaked at conference level, so I'm afraid I can't see the answer on today's display.
Suffice it to say that, having been a Stanley supporter since the early fifties, I don't intend to make the journey across the Pennines on Monday to see another humiliation. I just can't afford all the alcohol to drown my sorrows in the evening!!
Having said all that, I still think Coley will carry on taking us forward and upward - I just feel I need a break - if only for this Monday!!

As a final point, I have been thinking for a while that Mullers was getting past it. Sorry, we didn't half miss him today!
