Where was the air? It
wasn't in the ball, and there wasn't a lot of it on Brighty's head either!
The ISA pre-match preparations were called into question when an opposition
player pointed out that the ball was, in his own succint vocabulary, "fuckin
flat"! |

"Where's the
sniper?" This was the call from the Curva Policia at the Imps as the home
fans mocked El Hadji Reynolds following this challenge from the Dog's number
5. To be fair, the impish Reynolds had a fine game, scoring twice and
running the right back so far up his own arse he needed keyhole surgery... |

Following
conceding a goal, Matty 'Mozzer' Morris bollocks his defence in that
loveable 'Yarksha' accent of his. None of them could probably understand a
word he was saying. "Maaaaake tea bags, maaaaake tea" it all sounds like to
me. Alman, Ditchfield and Lightfoot look on in a state of utter bemusement. |

|
| Graeme
Reynolds 'bangs' in the first goal. Which, if you follow the balls
trajectory, was actually bound for the corner flag before it hit the fella
doing the 'Rivaldo Rockabye Baby' celebration, and flies in. |

"Send it
long, son" comes the shout from the Curva Policia. Hocking duly obliges, as
he looks for the partially hidden Marc Edwards, and Pete Jodrell lurking in
the background. Jon 'The Earl' Hocking is the Clubs main sponsor, North West
Law, so he has to play by order of the committee! |

| The back
four... Neville Mann, Jon Hocking, Dave Lightfoot and Bryan Coleman. One
fringe between them. |
