6 April 2010

Middle-aged Diary writes: In my youth, I'd often regale myself with the thought on the all too frequent occasions when Town created the opportunity that my ambition was to see the Mariners win a game from two goals down. Yesterday it happened. Metaphorically, the league table still has us two goals down, but yesterday, the players of Grimsby Town answered a lot of questions about their commitment to the cause. It may not be enough, but yesterday's win was, in itself, something to hold in the memory.

Most of the news of the last four days is covered (or soon will be) in the match coverage elsewhere, but playing his full part yesterday - Olly to Accrington's Stanley, if you must - was Lancashire, the club having decided to appeal against Friday's red card. Given the caution Town have displayed for fear of exacerbating the punishment in the past, this suggests the video evidence gives us a firm footing for hope that the sending off will be rescinded, the damage, of course, having been done.

Good luck.
