Think he was just relieved due to his error leading to a goal.

And, to be fair, he fed the ball to Grimes for his cross into the box for the winner.

In a bit of a dilemma here. Got a ticket on my own tonight and had sorted a lift, but have been let down by thar lift, which I'm really not happy about.
I've no other convenient way of getting there, as refuse to pay train fares because they are extortionate. So I Googled how long it would take to walk (12 odd hours), which is obviously impossible, but then noticed I could make it there on my push bike in roughly 4 hours, maybe faster/slower depending on the wind direction.
So long story short, I've decided to go on my bike, if I set off now it'll give me time to have a rest and some service stations along the way. I'll worry about getting home later.
If anyone sees a man on a push bike on the M1, I'll be wearing a city shirt, or a sky blue coat if it's raining, I'd appreciate it if you could give me a lift or at least a tow.
Just finished my lunch, setting off now. Wish me luck. Come on City.

Yeah I’m not knocking him, I disagreed with his slating in the last match thread.

Stay away from the M1 mate or you might not make the kick off.

If everyone other than Sheaf and Rudoni are available (and Wright to start), I’d go same again. Rather get three points here than try and risk a weakened side and still not beat Sunderland.

Allen is the Liam Kelly from the last two seasons…. Coming in, doing a good job, contributing positively despite not being a ‘full strength’ starter.

Barry Town 1 - 2 Aberystwyth Town

Late goal back from Barry, after being 2 nil down. Probably Oliver Hulbert* with the consolation goal.



*The internet can very much be your friend sometimes.

My brother lives in Barry, so I go to their games every so often. Quite surreal being back in the car literally 45 seconds after the final whistle whilst staying until the end, some parking!

Although, I ruined it a few years back when we were watching them in the Europa League qualifiers against Cliftonville when I pointed out Jordan Shipley was better than every single player on the pitch...

We're leaving at five as it'll be busy on the A46 and then getting onto the M69.

Parked at the B&B hotel, Locomotive Way. A twenty minute walk apparently.

Update. Arrived in a little town called Hopwas in Tamworth. Its very nice. Cramps are becoming unbearable, going to Google stretches for a long distance bike ride, but am trying to conserve energy on my phone incase of an emergency. Sweating a bit. Plenty of water left though.
Also, must have left my fags in the bench in Kinsbury and I ain't going back for them.
Next stop, Burton on trent.
Any advice for cramp?

Going onto their forum and telegraph they are all confident of a win, I mean they just about beat Blackburn (who are bang average) and now they think they can smash any team in this league, we owe them from earlier in the season aswell, I don't just want us win I want us to destroy this lot.

I'm even more excited for this one now! Fuck it 5 nil City with a Simms double, Tats, Torp and a Grimsey free kick hitting top bins
