but how can anyone leave early with a game at 1-1? having endured the 90 odd minutes that had gone before, the paul mullin goal that got us the three points will go down as one of those great stanley memories of all time. one of those split second moments of pure joy, such a rush of emotion as we see the ball hit the back of the net. we'll talk about that goal for years to come.

there's still a long way to go before we can start any celebrations, but today was yet another small step towards where we all want to be...

isn't football brilliant...

Whatever formation they played worked and I only hope that super JC sorts the chaps out for the next game beacause thay looked shattered today. And in respect they have every right to be.

Gary Roberts was totally dominated, and it appeared to me as though he was just going through the motions, and come to think of it same goes for Rommy. I have never been PM's biggest fan but in the last 4/5 games he has been outstanding and a complete role model for all the boys in red, absolute class.

So into March we go and if you read my previous posts (not that you will!!!) is looking as though it will be the most important month we have ever faced. In exactly fourteen days time we will know whether we are going to be a league team next season or just making up the numbers in non league footy again. It really is as simple as that.

As a kid growing up playing football every night on the Peel Park I always wondered what it would be like for Accrington to have a 'proper' football team.........and I really hope that after all these years I will soon know!

ON STANLEY ON

It's a good job Dick Turpin :Banane32: was playing today ;). I think the left and right posts at the Coppice end had a fantastic game today both playing a blinder in the first half :). When we play Southport on Tuesday (what another game!!:eek: ) it would be a good idea to have a few shots, it did seem today that the only time we strung any passes together was when we were in or around Burtons penalty area and had a clear sight of goal. There was also one or two Rory-esque type 'dives' when it would have been far easier to actually get the ball., and it must have been obvious by that time that the ref was useless and hadn't given either side anything. Still he did give us a corner that should have been a goal kick and the rest they say is history. Anyway its time to feed Black Bess and polish the flintlocks for soon we must ride out again.

2-1 fantastic:not_ripe: :not_ripe: :not_ripe:

Just think though if we can play like this and win we will probably never lose again, FANTASTIC. Watch out Chelsea

Oh, and Robbie Elliot, the guy is phenominil(damn) I mean phenomanal(damn) that is phinomanil(blast), he's a really good keeper.
