Another match we dominated in parts but looked like getting nothing from. Last minute incident that arose to the penalty was a bit odd. Linesman flags and speaks to the ref, ref shows red card then awards the penalty, home side make a substitution before Eaves (sounded at least a minute later) just slotted passed the keeper's dive!

God this is like watching paint dry,talk about moving slowly towards the end of the season,someone call it now,lets get it over with.
Bury are down, Northampton are down they have play 38 games more than anyone else,MKDons are gone with their -19 goal difference, so lets put a few ping pong balls in a drum and pull one out to decide if Rochdale, Oldham or Walsall go with them, leave Wimbledon out of the drum ,there closer than the rest we get a better gate for home games.

I was up at 4.30 ready for the early Train to get the coach.A decent enough trip up there.Felt it wasn`t a great game,but we had a little spell where we put them under pressure.Oldham had the better chances of the half hitting the post twice,and forcing Holy into a save with his foot.They scored right on Half-time where Garmston was brushed off to easy for them to score.We kept going in the second half,Hessy had a decent header well saved,whilst at the other end Doyle hit the post when we all thought he was going to bury the chance.Something bizzare happened in the 90th minute when play stopped after a cross into the box.After a minute or so of discussion between the ref and linesman he sent of Moimbe,and awarded us a shock penalty.After what seemed ages of build up,and an Oldham sub Eaves stepped up to just score it to send the 215 mad! We nearly won it in the 96th minute,but Wagstaff fired of.I will take a point in a scrappy game with a whistle happy ref.My first trip there with a point,so I cannot complain as we usually get nothing there.
