You boys took one hell of a beating

Excellent away run, 8 in a row. What do you think has changed from last season? Better players?

He's probably going through the phone book now. Let’s face it, even by his own admission with the last alleged backer, it doesn’t matter if you DON’T back Rodwell, he will claim you do.
For the record:-
JAZIAN FULLY SUPPORTS THE TOTALLY DESERVED BAN IMPOSED BY SOUTHPORT F.C. ON RODWELL.

Well done to all involved at Southport.F.C. 8 away wins on the run and 3rd in the league.
Top manager in Liam who spots talent anywhere Skem,Formby,Prescot etc etc and a top Chairman who keeps us in the Black and not the Red.Kettering to be the latest to fall apart by not spending wisely.
YELLOWS YELLOWS YELLOWS

Cor blimey, spectacular work Watson & co. How come nobody's mentioned the housewives' favourite, Daniel O'Donnell, playing in the County defence?

Here's a little game for you to play if you're bored this evening (I first played it the other week at the cup game against Stockport): name some other pairs of teams who could have a "similar name derby".

This was dave ball's reply to the Mukendi deal is off.

The lucky winning streak will now end.

I think we should encourage him to post more often.

He always gets it wrong

I wouldn't even introduce you to my dog.

You repulse me, you're like something I'd wipe off my shoe.

Ear Ear Jazian! well done Port and to all the "real" fans today! The best performance of the season so far? Id say so!

Well sticky where is your comment ? or aint you ventured from under your rock

Fantastic result! Watson and the players should be proud of themselves after that performance, playing nearly the whole game with 10 men. Excellent travelling support.

UTP!

The away supporters had to sit in the open air stand (in the rain) whilst a covered stand lay empty!

After asking a steward why, the person who asked was told that it was due to Health & Safety!

Surely having supporters in an open air stand, in the rain would be much more against Health & Safety than having them seated under cover!

I agree have you ever seen your husband at the match ?? the rain will cool him down

I didn't hear one song about OTS ban, far more important things to sing about todayand every match. You couldn't leave the pub long enough to fit in a match at Haig Av by the sounds of things. Also, perhaps Dave Ball has finally thrown his pc out of the window and is currently curled up in the corner of his bedroom having a breakdown.....

Credit to everybody connected with Southport who turned up at Stockport today - just fantastic.

Why do you think I don't go, quite apart from the fact that I don't like football matches?

I've just returned from today's game and I must say Southport played well under the circumstances but I must point out there were only about 80 or so fellow traveling supporters which was a great disappointment. One thing for sure is I won't be stepping foot into Haig Avenue until OTS is reinstated. You lot don't forget to Turn up, Pay up, and Shut up!

Clap trap clapham OUT

Every time you post you make a complete t1t of yourself.......80 travelling supporters?! what game were you at! There must have been over 300 travelling fans. Yellows.

You couldn't have been at Edgeley Park today if you think there was only 80 traveling fans there.

I would guess at about 400 seated behind he goal.

As for the match, the sending off was at the far end of the pitch to where we sat and I couldn't see what went on.

On the Stockport forum most of their supporters thought it was a harsh sending off and it was the goalkeepers reaction (followed by the crowds chants of "off,off,off") that swayed the ref.

After that the 10 men of Southport, out fought, out battled the 11 of County restricting the home team to just one shot on target that I can remember.

There was an element of good fortune about the goal, but some may say it was poetic justice that it was their goalkeeper who played a big part in the sending off whose error lead to the winning goal.

All in all the most enjoyable awayday for quite some time.

So Ballbag, already found out to be a tit, now found out to be a filthy little liar as well.

Officially 401 away supporters........

daveball must be gutted with this continued form! embarrassing that you are now turning to the number of fans which you were wrong about as well!.haha yellows!
