Looking at our own website and the team for today, it would appear that Ged is NOT OUR manager. Surely that is something that needs correcting!!!!!

[Keith]

It looks grim out there!

Stockport commentator, talking about the weather, with games off all over the place, "when Morecambe came down last season, I thought, oh, that will be a nice day out by the seaside..."

[Keith]

Horrible game so far. If anything, I think we're struggling most with the conditions, with numerous passes & clearances either going to County's keeper or out for a goal kick. County are now playing the ball to feet, and becoming more on top.
Another goal-kick from Smith, straight through to their keeper. Do they count as a shot on goal?

[Keith]

Great save by Smith on about 25 minutes. That will do his confidence the world of good. Stockport well on top at the moment. We're playing long too much, the wind is catching it all the time. Stockport playing to feet with success.

I think that we will play better into the wind second half. If we can contain them in this first half, we can go on and win this.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

[Keith]

Good effort from Mayor, not far wide. Our first attempt at goal.

[Keith]

Another long shot, this time JJ, on target, well saved.

[dannymorc1]

I think that we have played well so far. No real scares from Stockport and we've had two or three good chances. The conditions are terrible, but if our defence can stay as tight in the second half, we can hit them on the break. Time will tell.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

Interesting...

We're under the cosh at the moment. It's looking ominous, we've got to keep tight at the back and be patient.

Difficult one, isn't it? It only looks like one side going to score, and we are under the cosh. But, they're not really producing much of danger. And we've had a couple of half-chance to break. Stick, in the hope of a good draw, or change things before they score?

[Keith]

GET IN!!!!

[dannymorc1]

First goal for Morecambe.
COME ON YOU MORECAMBE REDS.

Superb through ball from Tutonda to Mellon to slip it home!

That's answered that one!

[Zip It Shrimpy]

We need another

[Keith]

Songo'o has been struggling for a while, he's gone down a couple of times.

Songo'o>Taylor

[Keith]

Mellon went down, holding his thigh and has been limping since.

[Keith]

Crap Looks like Mellon going off.

Mellon>Davenport

[Keith]

It's been coming.

[dannymorc1]

What a shame, we held on for so long.

COME ON MORECAMBE, HOLD ON FOR A POINT.

[Keith]

Good point in atrocious conditions!

[dannymorc1]

Well done Morecambe, you fought until the end. A well deserved point, so near to being three.
Just shows that we can hold our own with the top teams.
Onwards and upwards.

[black morse]

Excellent point. Looked like 3 for a while but overall a fighting draw and a fair result.
