Bright start! Slew should have buried his opportunity, basically from the same position as his goal on Saturday, then moments later, a full stretch dive by Moore to keep it 0-0!

Mellon with a decent chance, but he didn't connect properly. Good game so far.

McKiernan very lucky not to get booked there. Jimmy Bell & Derek giving it large! Bell got booked! :D :-) They are still at it! :lol: :lol: :lol:

Acci hit the bar directly from a corner, then we broke and had a decent opportunity.

Looked like an Acci penalty to me, having watched it twice. We may have got away with one there? That said, the ref was right on it, and waved a finger straight away, so perhaps he slipped?

Great move, Taylor dinks the ball over the keeper but a defender just managed to get his head on it. Acci had a decent chance a moment earlier, and now McKiernan gets a clearing header from a shot at the other end!

A cracking game for a 0-0!

Dave Salmon saying the game "isn't electric" but I've enjoyed it! Some really good play by both sides. Pleanty of shots and it is surprising that it is still 0-0. A goal is coming, but no idea which end!

Good first half! Chances at both ends, good build-up play, great saves, end-to-end stuff in quite windy conditions! Great entertainment. Got the wind and fans behind us this half, We just need to put one of these chances away - COYS!! You can do this!!!

Radio Lancashire, including Quinny, on the 'away' commentary.

Ref is giving us nothing!!! Mellon fouled, when he would have burst clear. Ref played. Elsewhere, Acci player fouls a Morecambe player, and Acci somehow get a free-kick! Even the Radio Lancs 'away' commentary said it was the wrong decision... again!

Great save from another Slew shot!

And another crap decision! Slew and defender battling. Defender pulls Slew back, Slew wriggles clear of the grab, and the defender gets the free-kick! Mind you, he's just booked an Acci player for being on the pitch!

WTF!!! Defender grabs Mellon around the throat and pulls him over, off the ball. He gave a yellow card?!?!? Either a red card or nothing!

GET IN!!!! Connolly!!!

From the off the ball foul, free-kick in to the area. Half cleared. What looked like a foul on the defender, not given. Ball back in, half cleared again, knocked back across the face of the goal, and Connolly, still up from the free-kick, just tapped in from five yards!

Penalty to Accrington. Bloxham a moment late tackling after a poor first touch. 1-1 :cry: :cry: :cry:

Mayor having a mare on the right, now swapped over to the left and already looking more comfortable.

Seven minutes added on. Come on Morecambe!

We've been going long-ball too much this half, and we've not been passing well, since their penalty.

1:30 seconds of time added on, without a ball being kicked so far! Connolly off injured.
