Brilliant fight back last night when 2 nil down, unfortunately we were thwarted in the end by a cheating striker who not only handled the ball just before scoring their 3rd but also made a meal out of the challenge by Liddle which played a part in ensuring Stanley were down to 10 men for the last ten minutes when it was 3 apiece.
On the positive side, never read such praise from an opposition fans forum after a game - one even described us as 'like Barcelona'.
