I didn't think Byrne was fouled in the run-up to Oldham's opening goal (just a collision, in my view) but there was certainly a whiff of handball about it.

For their second goal, my concern is that Byrne palms the free kick straight back into the danger area rather than away from goal. Having said that, the aftermath is all rather curious in that it's Eddy Jones' attempted clearance which bizarrely skews backwards and tees up their forward for a simple header into a vacant net.

I will happily consign the first 80 minutes to the darkest recesses of my fading memory. The closing 10 minutes were highly enjoyable.

Plenty of substandard performances yesterday but, as others have already observed, Osborne was particularly abject (summed up by that ludicrous attempted crossfield pass during the first half which ended up going out for a corner).

Good, honest post-match interview by Parkinson.

Incidentally, I wouldn't fancy living in one of those houses that backed onto the away end!

You’re not alone. Very odd layout whereby the away fans have to walk through Brookside to reach the turnstiles.

Having read the comments on that Good Friday game by many Oldham supporters on their forum, it would appear that some of them would be quite happy to bury David Unsworth under a patio.

Surely not as odd as walking through the library, and past the indoor pool at York?

Did you see this on their forum posted by one of their disgruntled fans?

They're not in a happy place at the moment are they? 😊😊🙄

Maybe we could introduce something more interesting for our away fans. Maybe a winding pathway trough the allotments from the King George to the turnstiles.

Given the recent discussion around ground development, something like their north stand would be great in time - with conference facilities etc. However... the last thing we'd want is for something like that to become a white elephant - seems like theirs was completed a few years ago and has barely even been used. £5.75m price tag.

Was with a pal who lives and works in Oldham and has benefitted from hospitality there a few times.  Apparently the lack of use was a result of the football club not 'owning' it.  He did explain it to me, but it all sounded far too wearisome to repeat here.  On a more positive slant, I thought Boundary Park was a well proportioned stadium and it was good to see all four sides populated, rather than having one (sometimes two) stands closed which has become the norm for most ex-FL clubs we visit.

On that note,we have sometimes had to walk up down and  a hill in the park (was that some sort of Army exercise?) to get to the away end at Aldershot, and I think there was something similar on my one visit to Boreham Wood.

Enjoyed the day.....well did so after that utterly dire 80 minutes of dross from both sides.....thought stewarding / policing there also deserves a mention - just what you expect..respectful to our fans and threw out the few dickheads attracted by our recent rise into mid-table Conference football

Yes Aldershot's ambush alley!

Borehamwood is a gate and a little path to the turnstile?
