They'd have looked ordinary without him. The bloke ran the show.

Awful decision. Neither player saw each other, and the attacker was given the benefit. I noticed the ref look for reassurance from the linesman, who was 80 yards away running the other line. Why wasn't Shuker booked?

When his name got announced as coming on, you could sense that extra bit of anticipation from their crowd. Excellent goal, bit like Duffy's at Shrewsbury. It's a wide pitch, great for running at, and turning defenders.

Yep. Ideal weather conditions too, and an immaculate pitch.
