Cod Almighty man of the match: George McEachran

Vernam scored and created and was positive. It could have been anyone, but the man of match is George McEachran. Once again the best footballer on the park: match awareness, makes us tick, stops them ticking, assured, confident and works so hard.

Our gaffer says

It's been a long and winding road that leads to the doors of perception, and Delighted Dave perceives his students are nearly ready for their close up:

"They don't need me to tell them they got stuck a little bit. It shows how far we've come the lads are sat in there disappointed and that's pleasing."

What about the lord of our manor?

"It's recognition he's just a great bloke and shows how well regarded we are as a football club. If he walks into the Agrah with a wig and a gown he'll probably get kicked out."

More on this

Their gaffer says

Admitted it was all his fault for confusing everyone by playing 4-4-2. Kids just won't eat bread and butter these days. If you want to listen go find it yourself.

Them

Who cares. Fake club, no fans, but their number 6 and McEachran's tussles are always a good one. He didn't hide, they took him off but he's their George.

Official warning

Mr O Mackey

Must've been ok as went unnoticed. No fans ran on the pitch in protest, so all good.
