Very astute!! 9 years later they're beginning to realise!! And surely the Class of 92 will realise soon that they're flogging a dead horse. A team at the top end of the table averaging less than 3k (with some big away followings inflating that) and can't even sell out a play off semi-final. A ridiculous vanity project. Time to let Salford Ammies have their team back. Your last line is spot on. Unlike Franchise and Crewe I don't want Salford to go bump. I want them to tumble down to the 6th or 7th or 8th tier, change their colours back to being tangerine and going back to being the proud traditional non league club they've always been rather than the vanity project of some ex footballers. And they can scrap that awful clip art badge while they're at it. If they go back to the traditional club they've been, they need to go to the 8th or 9th tier. They had just about got out of the NWCL for the first time ever, a couple of years before the money arrived.

It may have been touched on already (I might have mentioned it on here myself) but the reactions to both extra time goals tell the story, and I've just watched the sky highlights package on Now to confirm how it went down (they have the whole bit between the two goals on there in real time). 21:27 and their jammy deflected goal crosses the line, pandemonium from the Salford players and staff, all their players go to celebrate with their "fans", even their keeper crosses into our half for a moment before realising he better not, their bench spills on to the pitch, they think they've won it. We set up to kick back off almost straight away while they're busy celebrating, their keeper gets a mysterious injury and they all go to get a drink while we stay ready to kick off. Clearly they're trying to disrupt us and the match doesn't kick off again until 23:47 (or at least that's when you can hear the whistle)... barely 40 seconds later and the ball is in the back of their net, we celebrate quickly before returning to our half - we know we still have a job to do. You can hear the whistle to restart the match after our goal barely a minute later, compared to their 2 minutes and 20 seconds. That was when we had them beaten in terms of mentality, Lund skying his penalty just summed it up. I said at the time, amongst many other words I wouldn't ordinarily use, that Paddy had us set up to play whilst they pi$$ed around with their tinpot fans. 100% professional from us.

Their legs might be going, but Paddy & Sarce know exactly how to play a situation. Their experience along with Bardsley will be invaluable this weekend in calming the younger members of the squad

I wonder if their manager is waiting for the inevitable call for a meeting / thanks for your efforts I’d be asking him to explain time wasting when well on top in the first half, that wasn’t exactly a stroke of genius They were time wasting from about 4 mins into the game, referee did nothing about it all game. In fact out of all the abysmal refs we've had this season that ref takes the award hands down as the worst of the lot (he's lucky he didn't get lynched in the pitch invasion tbh) how we finished with 11 men on the pitch is a miracle, it seemed like every minor infringement on our part warranted a yellow even challenges we were winning fairly, & he paid no attention to their blatant time wasting & feigning of injury at every opportunity. I can handle a ref making the odd wrong call here & there, it's part & parcel of the game but I really started questioning whether there was some hidden agenda going on or one of the class of '92 had chucked him a bung he was that bad! Coupled with the dodgy goal scored in the 1st leg at their place it all made the way the game ended & the victory so much sweeter.

I actually feel sorry for Ammies fans, they have had their Club stolen from them & judging by comments from fans of other lower league clubs turned into something despised on a level just below MK Dons

30 minute highlights at 7am tomorrow morning on Sky Football. Probably the best you're gonna get that 30 minutes highlights thing was on itv at 8.30pm wasn't it? Don't think there will be many County fans up at 7am tomorrow 30 mins of highlights for our game only on Sky. Set up for record. Annoyingly the programme started and finished late. Meaning the recorded ended just before Sarce's penner... ALWAY ADD PADDING!!!

Maybe I’m naive but I would be absolutely staggered to find out any professional league standard referee was corrupt - it’s just not a British thing. But I do believe some referees, being human and all, can be swayed by all sorts of factors. Some seem to be ‘homers’ and others seem to be absolutely determined from the start of the game not to bow to any pressure from the home crowd. I can only put this idiot’s performance down to that theory.
