    He's had a chat with Hourihane who's told him he's going to put the corner in to the near post. We pick up the action as he fibs to a couple of Walsall lads, claiming the corner will be swung over to the far post. He then scuttles over to our players and tells them, "Front post lads, front post." When the corner comes in the Walsall defence are all at sea. They're expecting the ball to the back post, but all our lads head for the front. In the confusion Waring loses his marker and nods home from close range. The Walsall players are, understandably, livid, and remonstrate with the ref for telling them a load of porkies.

    Their manager called ref over to ask him what happened to which he replied "I told your lads front post".

    Looks like the Walsall players

    are claiming handball to me.

    What on earth is the ref doing telling players where the ball is going anyway? And any player who is told something like that by the ref would surely ignore it and just mark the opposition as normal.

    Nah, your version of events is pretty unlikely to be honest Brush.

    Not at all Mark. Makes for even more entertainment.

    If only we could get Ads back. Now that WAS pure class. If he is still reading this lets have some more tales of special turnstiles for dogs and the like.

    Pretty sure I saw his or Garren's scooter in town last Tuesday night before the match.
