After the match , while I was collecting my winnings (about eight pints) from the shell-shocked Halifax fans I was told in no uncertain fashion that I didn't know what the hell I was talking about , that our 'keeper had kept us in the match and that he - Paul Crichton - was the finest goalkeeper to have visited the Shay so far this season .
So thanks, Paul , for your hard work and occasional brilliance . Just work on the positioning and leave the roving pitch inspection to the groundsman, eh ?
