The ref was totally awful but luckily did not affect the game too much (although he could have which is what was annoying) .. Can't say I enjoyed his back heel to their player too much
Only real problem with him was he SEEMED to book ours for nothing but give their players lots of chances, especially when the incidents happened near Mr Clough. His performance summed up by the handball he gave at the end where only Bushell shouted and got it, not even the alty fans saw it, just that Bush shouted the loudest so got the decision.
We must have made about 6 goal mouth clearances and god knows how many scrambles in the box. It was looking unlikely we would get anything until we got the equaliser and then for about 10mins we were the team looking most likely to score, and if colin had slotted that away then who knows.
I thought Joe O'neil was man of the match by a long way.
All said and done Clares goals were both top class, and I'm afraid thats what money buys as well as their very pacey attacking play that caused us trouble all game.
Support was TOP CLASS (again) by the Alty Fans. Not many teams would be in our position in the league and no away win for almost a year and get support like that. WELL DONE = LETS KEEP IT UP !
AND ALSO ...
O'Neill is working, if he was playing with an 'in form' Little then they would be a great strike force but unfortunatly Colin is struggling at the moment. He needs a goal , even one like he got v dageham last season that just hits him will do nicely and then he can kick on from there for an important last few games.
We are beating Weymouth by the way so don't worry. Cambridge is the one though ... Tension or what.
