300K SIGNING PADDY MADDEN GETS PHIL TO BRACE HIMSELF
FA Cup glory beckoned for the Mighty Shrimpers, as Fish Walsh journeyed to Scunny to steel himself against the cold.
First Half and Rea and O’Neil are in, Westy starts and Pig is fit. “Oh shame” says Fish when he hears Paddy is playing… Westy lofts a cross inches from Pig, corner and Lenny blasts over, get your shooting boots on Lenny. Big Mac suffers a manly injury, on comes Wozza. Corner not cleared and Madden rifles in, ooh Fish is mad. 0-1. Lenny scores with a low shot, 1-1. Blues on top, Westy has a shot saved by Luke Lively, ex Shrimper. Pig has a chance, wide. Shoulda been in front at Halfo.
Second half and the sun goes down on the Blues and their FA Cup hopes at a damn cold Glansknob Stadium. Bloomin’ flippin’ Madden scores as Blues fail to clear yet again. 1-2. Even Phil Browntrout gets sent into the nice warm stand by a kindly referee.
Full time 1-2
