or this separate occasion...

Public displays of affection in the form of a nice hug is okay...

or a steadying hand on a shoulder...

but I was surprised to find that if the goalkeeper drops the ball, it is an offence for an attacker to try and kick it. Can you see which Morecambe player is impeding the goalie?

Not making excuses, we were poor. But a penalty would at least have given us a hope of a shot on target! Gary Hunter being fouled was clearest though.

Apparently we had 13 shots at "goal" - 2 of which were on target :o Surely we need to practice :?

Thanks for the beer ;) it was worth waiting for, if you had bought it at Christie Park you would have saved yourself nearly a quid! :lol:

According to Keith we didn't have a single shot on target all game?

Spencer gets fouled about 10 times every single game and they get away with it. Maybe they are not fouls on him :?

One of the Bradford forwards seemed to be wearing a very baggy shirt, far too big for him. Was this intended to draw shirt pulling offences in favour of his team?

Agreed, and Mullin was the same. Perhaps they need to be less honest and just dive instead of trying to stay up?
