Following a complete calendar month of nothing but knock-out football, the always amusingly named Dimple Wells Stadium was the venue were Mossley reacquainted themselves with the run-of-the-mill mundanities of life in the Evo-Stik First Division North.
And along with the vast majority of my fellow Lilywhites supporting brethren I wasn't there to watch it which of course means that the "better supporter than you" brigade were out in force on the forum. What's laughable is that when we played at Ossett Albion three seasons ago during Gerry Quinn's reign as manager, only six Mossley supporters turned up to that particular match yet there was no thinly veiled digs at other supporters after that on the forum or producing a list of those who went (really, that happened after this game). Anyway, Smiffy has written about this little internet episode better than I have or can so I suggest popping along here to read it.
As for the game itself (a report on which is here) it sounds like it was the latest in the long line of what might have beens had but just a couple of an apparent hatful of chances been taken. However, even if it was three points tossed away through our ongoing inability to stick the ball into a 17.86 m2 target with any regularity in league fixtures, after four consecutive defeats a draw isn't so bad. Although I do though reserve the right to change that particular opinion should we fail to stave off relegation to the Vodkat League by a solitary point.
