This is getting a touch feisty in the midfield already, with a few high boots. Procter currently receiving a bit of treatment.

First corner for Macc - high into the six yard box and well taken by Dunbavin

Afternoon all!

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Morning all, a misty morning here in Vancouver. C,mon reds.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Pretty uninspiring fodder so far - few chances though Stanley have enjoyed the majority of the play. 29 minutes played now.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

CHANCE ALERT - cross in from the Macclesfield right falls to Richard Butcher in the box but the midfielder skies it over the bar from less than 10 yards

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

36 mins - CHANCE ALERT - Grant capitalises on some defensive indecision and gets into a shooting position inside the box, but fires wide of the left hand post. I expected the net to bulge!

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Good Stanley pressure here - two consecutive corners and Miles tests Brain

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

42 mins - Macc free kick in dangerous position 30 yards out.
Fed to right hand side where Izak Reid crosses to the back post. Beats everyone in Red and finds Shaun Brisley at the back post. His header comes back off the post...

Three mins of stoppage

Half time 0-0

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

The half time round up is thus:

A half of two halves really -Stanley started brightly and created a number of half chances and Ian Dunbavin had little to do until about the half hour mark.

From there on Macclesfield grew in strength, though Grant had Stanley's best chance in the 36th minute.

After that, Butcher fired over for the home side when well placed and Brisley smacked the woodwork.

Honours even and both managers should be relatively happy if a little frustrated at not scoring whilst they were on top.

The home fans are certainly not happy - they booed ref Peter Quinn off the field.

Re: Macc v Stanley Matchday Thread
 

Sounds a bit too close for comfort. Down to 12th if scores stay as they are.

Teams are back out. Off we go again!
