]You must be the only person in the ground who thought we played ok in the first half. We were dire an players got what they needed at half time an came out fighting in the 2nd half. Not so sure - I understood what JDL was saying (there's one for the diary) and tend to agree - We were poor, but it does not (quite) make the top 10 most wasted 45 minutes I have spend at the Gallagher. I might though be the only person in the ground (from posts so far) who thought that the last 21 minutes (+5.5) were worse that then first 45. It's all well and good to sit back and defend a lead, but it felt rather like we were waiting for an invite back to their place. If they had anything about them they would have rolled us over and then withdrawn the invite to the rematch. If we'd have kept on and got a two goal margin (as we looked good value for) that would have been the time to sit back imho. Still we got the victory so I don't expect too many to agree.

It's the fa cup victory forgives performance. Onwards and upwards COYS.

Just so!!
Across the 96.5 minutes :
We did enough in minutes 0-46. We did enough in minutes 46- 70. We did enough in minutes 70-96.5.
So it's all good.

The last 21 plus 5.5 we were 2-1 up. We just saw the clock out. We also could’ve scored another couple. I think the last 20 odd mins from the TE where I was standing, we were cruising

Highlights appear to show the one that hit the post was just that - not over the line. Not how it looked from my angle, but there you go. Romaine's disallowed goal 50/50, though rarely given anyway. Hadn't realised just how crucial Smith's double save was, just after we hit the post and maybe we got lucky with the penalty. So for once, maybe the officials were neither total Muppets or complete bastards. Which makes a refreshing change. Is the tide turning? Not holding my breath, yet.

Anyone else notice the verbals and hand gestures between their keeper and defenders, several times. They didn't look like a unified team. In their last two home games which they lost heavily there has obviously been tensions within the team which is total contrast to last season under the Managership of John Askey. It also cannot be good for team morale for two caretake Managers to be jointly in charge of the team. The question is who would want to take on the task of trying to save them from relegation ??

Rare that I disagree with you, but I thought both live and from the replay, the ball clearly crossed the line - in fact it was in the net before it (mysteriously) rebounded. We sit about half way between halfway and the EE goal, so we had a pretty good view. Those around us were not so much arguing about whether or not the ball crossed the line, but how on earth it came out again, as it had clearly been in the goal. Presumably PP is right and it hit the diagonal brace? The photos on PP clearly show the ball inside the net too. Also thought the pen was solid. There's no hint of a dive (or he's a bloody good actor!) The video also reminded me of something I remarked on at the time - each time Turgott had one of his long shots at goal, he got closer, the next one was due to go in!

I couldn't see a better place to put this. Sad to see that Macclesfield have just been wound up in the High Court over more than £500k. Looks like more financial shennanigans in the boardroom. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/54177582

They have been wound up with debts of only £500,000 and yet parachute payment is £750,000 so why can they not pay it?

Statement from Silkmen Supporters Trust: /photo/1 You see this is what i think is wrong with football, this supporters trust are blaming the owner, whereas i think that the fans are to blame here as well. Fans demand a successful team and if they don't get it demand the board be sacked, or want the board to spend more money knowing the club can't afford it. The club not wanting to lose a percentage of their game day income increase the budgets get success but do not get a big enough financial reward to nullify the increased expenditure and they start accumulating debt and once that starts you end up in over you head until you get fucked like Macclesfield have been. They're not the only team plenty more teams have fans like this, bury for example their fans were giving it large when they got promoted from league 2 however the fans had demanded that success and it coat them their club yes the owner was a dick but if they fans would have accepted mid table league 2 then bury would not have racked up the debts that they did. You see a lot of absolute bell end fans on social media doing the f the efl, no you simpleton f you stop demanding your club go out and buy players they can't afford stop demanding you club give you the success they cannot afford to sustain. Stop playing championship manager thinking that it is real and that is how clubs works and that clubs suddenly get large sums of extra money from the invisible money tree.
