Skelmersdale United 5 - 2 Mossley

Unfortunately circumstances dictate that I can't provide you with a report on this game (no doubt to the unutterable delight of a couple of people) as I was otherwise occupied on this particular afternoon.

I know - shame on me for missing a game! Then again with me not being a 'genuine supporter' you really should expect lapses like this.

Though it looks like a heavy defeat when it's written down like it is in the title of this post, having read about what happened it seems that, unlike the loss against Curzon two days earlier, we were the victims of trying to chase the game; that we got sucker punched while piling forward in search of an equaliser. We did it to Clitheroe not so long ago and in this game it appears we were given a double dose of the same medicine.

But why have me telling you what I read when you can see for yourself? There's the Mossley view, the Skelmersdale view, the Google Maps view, an ocean view, A Room With A View A View To A Kill, Belle Vue, I Believe In you, Ibuleve... sorry, getting a bit carried away there!

The result means we've now conceded 14 goals in our last three visits to Skem and on each occasion we've had the manager dismissed from the dug out. Who's looking forward to next seasons trip? ;-)

Still, at least we get the chance to take some swift revenge on Thursday when the return fixture takes place in what will, hopefully, be our last game using Hurst Cross as a home.

Can we leave foreign soil with a win? Could we put a dint in Skelemrsdale's own promotion hopes? Could we cement a seventh place finish in the league? Will there be a report on the game on here? Will I actually be going?

Stay tuned folks to this channel for answers to all these questions and more!
