well deserved win,should have been a lot more,very happy

[parkyboy]

Sounded like we were playing against ref and 4th official as well as shrewsbury

[WULLY BULLY]

Excellent team performance and every player played their part.
Hard to pick a man of the match!

[George Dawes]

Duffy got MoM he played well

but! for me Bentley was MoM i was watching from the sidelines in the north stand he is a pleasure to watch as a leader

and i will say that it is no coincidence that MFC have now two wins on the trot, we now have that old team spirit back i honestly dread the day when Jimbo hangs his boots up!

[Old Man Kensey]

So much better. Parrish a future captain in the making. Thank God we're playing some football again.

[WULLY BULLY]

What was up with Sammy? I saw all the todo but what started it?

[Matty the Shrimp]

We were brilliant! Could have had 3 goals. Shrews keeper made some good saves and thats the only reason we never had more. If i could have given man of the match to the whole team, i would, everyone was supreme.

Robinson and Wright both looked brilliant but Ainsworth and Harrard werent to great today which was a good thing

Only one niggle and that was when we went 1-0 up we sat back, and they looked like they would score, thats the only thing that Sammy needs to stop doing.

WELL DONE LADS!

[Matty the Shrimp]

What was up with Sammy? I saw all the todo but what started it?

He backheeled the ball back onto the pitch...
I know, its pathetic...

[Welshrimp]

Not quite. He backheeled the ball before it crossed the touchline.

Then Turner made strenuous efforts to wind him up.

[Welshrimp]

Good performance and good result. Stanners took his goal well, Jimbo unlucky when he hit the bar.

Duffer missed the pen but had an outstanding game otherwise. So did many others.

Still pathetic, and even worse on their managers part.
It was going anyway!

At least we won

He was in wrong, he backheeled it before it went off but it is such a petty thing to be told off about, and a drop ball? the ball was going out, just give a bloofy throw ref.

As for the game, great game and a great performance. There was great desire shown from everyone.

Roche - 6 A mere spectator throughout
Hunter - 8 Came into the game, fairly poor defensively except for a fantastic last ditch tackle but as a wing back coming forward was very dangerous
Parrish - 8 Really up for it, was winning headers all over the shop, a really admirable performance
Bentley - 7 Worked really well with Parrish and looking like he's getting back to his commanding best
Wilson - 8 Attacked really well and defended really well. This guy is such a good player for us
Duffy - 8 Again incredibly dangerous, but Sammy, dont ever let him take another penalty, thats 0 out of 3 in a Morecambe shirt I think
Stanley - 8 Terrifying coming into the box, on the 2 occasions he did, on which he scored and won a penalty. Needs to do it much much more
Drummond - 7 Passing perhaps a bit wayward and a bit of a spectator in the 2nd half.
Fleming - 8 Really put a good shift in, gave his all and looked good going forward
Rundle - 7 He's got the beating of most defenders, just didnt see all that much of the ball and had to go looking for it
Mullin - 7 A couple of nice flicks here and there, but most of the threat came from the midfield which was the best its been since Coventry.

Hard to fault anyone today on a great team performance

[Crooky MFC]

He didnt get sent off to what he did with the ball, more like reacting to whatever Turner was saying, clearly trying to get him sent to the stands.

Great 2nd half display, thought Parrish had a superb game at the back, aswell as Jimbo. Stanley was energetic as always and Duffy showed some good touches again.

Decent crowd of 3200 aswell, 'quid a kid' seemed to be succesfull.

[Old Man Kensey]

Parrish - 8 Really up for it, was winning headers all over the shop, a really admirable performance

Without doubt a future captain. Top performance today. Sir Stewart of Drummond deserves praise for a box to box performance today. As I said before so much better.

[heysham_mfc]

Very good performance today and a first league win at the Globe!
Parrish did have a very good game but there are 3 or 4 player who could have got MOTM.

[Little Shrimp]

Great team perfromance. Duffy had a great game minus the pen. He must never take pens again! The other downer was Mullin missing a couple of sitters. Thought Stanners looked really dangerous going forward. GREAT WIN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Morectalk]

Parrish MOM for me - immense up against Harrold.

[Morecambe Jack]

We fully deserved the 3 points today, it was a fantastic performance. I was really impressed with Parrish today and Duffy (as per recently). I also thought second half when Stanley and Fleming both started pushing forward more they performed exceptionally. We could have won by a few more with a bit more luck - Mullin missed a couple of sitters first half and obviously the penalty miss was unfortunate too.

Don't know what happened between Sammy and Turner but it was great seeing Sammy run down the PMcG Stand when we scored to celebrate

[HALMA 1983]

What a great day out! Over the moon with the result that was fully deserved given the chances created
To a man the whole team looked up for it but special mentions for Jimbo who was immense along with his able apprentice Master Parrish and Duffy yet again winning all the plaudits for another outstanding performance

Very happy tonight and rightly so! Our seasons started at long last

[Matty the Shrimp]

So much better. Parrish a future captain in the making. Thank God we're playing some football again.

So your glad that Sammy didn't take his P45.

[Old Man Kensey]

It worked last season and looks like its working again

Why did you fans get on the boss back for .

I said so many times like please remember where Sammy Mac got Morecambe .

And I watch the game in the Pete Mcguigan stand in Block E on the back row with my new Morecambe top i brought at 13:00 today .

And I know I get stick on here oh well.

I said we will come 3RD still on this do we turn into a top now because of Screwsbury failure today I do not think so.

I love Fleming style of play and Mullin style wondering what Jevons on the sub thinking when he was warming up when he will next game for Morecambe.

I would keep the same team I looks at our next 4 home games and do believe with the recent run of two game 1 win 1 draw two clean sheet.
We can gain at least 3 win out of 4 of those games and we already won two away games .

1st - Wycombe
2ND - Port Vale
3rd - Morecambe


Relegation Barnet and Stevenage small squad this team has I know other Morecambe fans do not think that could happen

Who ever was wondering Sammy sacked omg I was hearing the fans when Sammy was making a change saying he is doing this sub wrong and should see out the game I was thinking this was so funny. happened on the 93th minute.

In some fans eyes Sammy will never make them happy why oh why

[steve mfc]

A well deserved win today, i must admit after Duffys penalty was saved and Jimbo hit the bar as well as several other good chances it looked as if we were not going to get the break in front of goal that our play deserved.

First half i thought we were a bit tentative with the midfield sitting a bit deep but after the break it was much better with both Stanley and Fleming getting into the box.

We are starting to play with a passion and desire that was missing at the start of the season, if we continue in this vein then we should start to climb the table, well done lads.

[Christies Child]

A well desreved win, but that tit of a Shrews Manager suggests that there is some history between Sammy and him. Why did he get involved?

My apology to those aroung me but it really annoyed me and I let my feelings get the better of me.
