Was with a dual Red/Claret fan, an O'Branch moment apparently.

Jay Harris had a brilliant game, Bobby Grant was also on form tonight.
I particularly enjoyed Toddy running at and passing the Liverpool defence on a regular basis, he played like it was last season.
Also their goalie was excellent.

Eh? I thought Grant had a poor game and never threatened their defence where it hurts. McGivern made more impact in his 15 minutes or whatever it was than any other attacker, apart from Toddy maybe. Some good players on show for 'Pool, who deserved their win, although if Proccy had blasted his penalty home it might have been a different story. Was Harwood Red trying to recruit their goalie at the end?

When I was leaving, the Liverpool players were just getting on their coach, still in their kit, boots and all. Apperantly that's how they arrived!!!
Obviously they must have looked at our messageboard, and saw the posts about our changing rooms and showers.

Bobby Grant put a quite few excellent crosses in the box, and wasn't afraid to get stuck in.

For the club or for her own use?

Match report: NEMETH FIRES REDS INTO FINAL

[Oggy]

I take it Gary Ablett did the Coley impersonation.

Well same old same old but wasn't expecting much anyway, despite the small attendance it was quite lively in the crowd, plenty of noise even without the ultras

As for the footy well it was a game of 2 types ya league 2 & your premier league wannabee swimmers that no 9 lol. They had a good goalie, making all his saves & with good humour, he got a good reception. Proccy should of scored a sitter & branchy shouldnt of come on he probably got the colour of the shirts mixed up as we were in our away strip

Nice to see the wanderer return eh dougie

[harwood red]

aaahhhhemmm.. me recruiting goalie?? only to join us on loan if we lost arthur in the closed season

The plus of tonight is we saw all the action both halves, unfortunately everytime liverpool went down other end in second half they scored!!!

It was a cracking save for proccies penalty although weaker than his usually penalty shots.. we congratulated the keeper and he clapped us back and came and shook hands at end of match with the fans... and yes I finally did get his name .... Dean Bouzanis, funny he hails from aussie but couldn't disguise his scouse accent he caught that quick

I enjoyed the banter tonight, even the ref had a good laugh at a few of the shouts

and then just for good measure he rollocked Dunbavin for not collecting the 'backpass'


kick him out now please. Except that the rumour doing the rounds tonight was that he has just signed another years contract.

Sat near him Oggy!...Didnt make much sense what he was shouting to his lads....who didn't take much notice of him anyway....LOST it when Mark King picked up his yellow !...Knows all the words that Coley knows...and used them!...warned by the Referee !!...Not much of a player...even less of a Manager!!....

Of course that's only my opinion!!!....

But Paul Mullin played some delightful lay-offs tonight....as good as ever he was!!.....and their Aussie Goalkeeper really was good!!.

Did Leighton McGivern do enough to deserve a start against Bury??
That we shall have to wait to see!

There's another good reason not to buy a season ticket

I watched tonights game from the main stand with my son, I don't do sitting down and will be back in the Clayton End for Saturday.

Mark King didn't he was rubbish, I remember Ablett had one good season but I was never impressed by him.
