Ahead Stallardicus

Stallard Stalls Franchise Promotion

mps 1 Posh 0

espite Keith`s presence purely in a commentary capacity his specter loomed large over this fraught encounter. Not to mince words the ball spent the entire first half in the air as Keefball triumphed over the silky skills of the Imps. The other uncanny link in this one is the word card. Ref Graham Laws averages 5 a game, Bazza of course impersonates one by finding himself face down on a table. Lewis should also try out for the wind section of the Imps band such is his propensity to use a whistle. He broke up the play even more than the Posh hoofers.

Schoey talks of earning the right to play their football. This is just what the faithful got for the last twenty minutes. Until then a Brown inspired defensive performance soaked up the incoming. He was truly monumental today pocessing the skills of an immortal that allowed him to be in two places at once, denying Boyd then appearing at right back to play the posh at their own game with a hoof born of Atlas. If only Brownaldinio could pass? but then he had been shouldering the burden almost single-handedly for the first hour.

News had filtered through of a drubbing for Franchise and Boston`s feat at Walsall. The promotion game was afoot! But the script lacked an Imp Goal and a win that would take them back into the frame. A packed Stacey West and Co-op lifted the lads. The Posh fell back. The space arrived together with some sweeping moves. Amoo, Frecks and Hughes threw off the shackles. Kerr finally slayed Micah Hyde right in the centre of the Sincil coliseum. The passion and roar of the crowd began to suck the ball closer to the Clanford goal.

On seventy, number seven floated a corner that skimmed over all including the luckless Stallard, but it somehow ended up at the foot of mayo who drove the ball into the turf toward the net. Futcher past Imp hero turned even greater villain and headed off the line for another corner. Frecklington sent over a replica which this time made it to Stallard who headed in with all the style of a rampaging bull. Goal! He would later achieve a perfect win double by putting Branston on the treatment table. But then that`s why we love him!

So the Imps find themselves back in third closely followed by Hartlepool. With Walsall away to Maccs on Tuesday and Swindon away at Posh things could be quite interesting if the Pride of Lincolnshire defeat Notts in the battle of the counties next week. After today`s performance from both the team and the fans it should be a great day out as 2500+ Imps storm Nottingham.
