Match report Vics Guardian
Aaron Burns scores for Northwich Victoria against Altrincham
9:48pm Tuesday 21st July 2009
By Andrew Simpson »
AARON Burns’ brilliant blast accounted for Vics’ first goal of the summer.
His free kick, direct from 25 yards, was still rising when it bulged Russell Saunders’ net to cancel out Chris Senior’s early opener.
Alty hit the front when Senior squeezed a measured shot inside the upright after Nat Kerr’s attempted clearance had been deflected into his path.
Vics created the opening period’s best chances, Mark Danks and Mike Connor both firing off target from distance and Jon Newby heading wide from Burns’ centre.
An incident-free second half was punctured by a sending off for Alty triallist Paul McManus following his clumsy, late challenge on Luke Horrocks.
Before that the Robins had fluffed the half’s best chance, Dale Johnson shooting too close to keeper Kyle Clancy after beating Mat Bailey to a loose ball.
At the other end substitute Ross Farran forced Saunders to make a save at full stretch after Bailey had teed him up following a corner.

A sending off in a friendly? Bizarre. I'd be interested to know the details. Usually if its a bit near the knuckle the ref asks for a sub. 88 mins too?
-
iirc it was Luke Horrocks who was sent off with ?Chris Senior on boxing day at moss lane
-
Just back.
Ref was very over fussy for both teams..bit of a "look at me" kind of guy.
Poor Alty performance against a tidy Northwich side who looked more up for it than they did last Christmas.
Not really many positives to be honest..a dull night for the purist I would have thought.
-
Give McMannus a contract, beautiful challenge
-
Was not going to go tonight....did not want to give the robdogs £7. Despicable club.........but some of the good news signings of late made me change my mind and set off at 7.10pm.
Poor game and I thought Vics looked quite good and were 'up for it'.
The sending off was not necessary, a bad challenge, but no damage and no reason why in the 80th something minute the player could not be asked to 'leave' the field.
Another jobsworth ref doing his duty, "had no option" blah blah blah, but then fails to send off Bailey for 'hands up' and a two handed push in the chest region one yard in front of him......two wrongs don't make a right, but again where is the logic and consistency from an official that I have been told will be refereeing us next season !
-
ridiculous sending off in a friendly but you have to recognize the guy must have passion and anyone who kicks a vics player in a friendly is all right with me
mick mcmanus a new alty legend in the making!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Pretty much agree with the above comments but the ref booked a vics player for very little early on so set his stall out but yes he should really have asked for him to be replaced. Though both keepers were poor tonight, Is coburn still with you as he will make a difference.

I too was surprised about the Vics player getting an early booking,the ref made a rod for his own back with that one and therefor i wasn't overly surprised to see him dismiss Paul McManus. Maybe he forgot he was officiating a friendly.Vics looked a decent outfit and were far more up for it than Alty. I have to disagree about Russell Saunders,i thought he had a decent game although he's unlikely to start the season with us as i believe Stuart Coburn will be fit for action very soon.

a bright start was let down then by lack of drive from midfield, we didnt create enough and the ball just didnt stick up front. still how many times will we really be playing so offensively away from home this season?
