I'll throw a name in the hat who I dont think has been mentioned yet. Stu Howarth? Solid defender, great in collision, gets through a hell out of work and seems to be getting better and better ball in hand.

Without wishing to put Blaymire down (cos he had his best game of the season so far, and was definately up there for m.o.t.m.), from where I was standing (about 20 yards away), it looked to me as though Cockend just didn't see him coming, and just ran straight into him !!! Poor play from him rather than anything exceptional from Matty B...

And yet on another thread, you're confident enough to say that Blaymire tripped Cockayne, and to call him a 'comedy defender?'

I'd stick to brushing your big pussy if I were you.

Oh dear.
L_A making things up again - shock!

From where i was stood, it looked like a shoulder charge, which i had been earlier saying should be outlawed as a dangerous tackle. the irony wasn't lost on my mates as i jumped up in the air shouting "go on matty give him it!!!!"
His body position looked a bit strange and it could very easily not have come off and he would have no doubt looked a muppet, but it did, and we won, so.............
