A cold February night out with the Brother-in-Law and Nephew was brightened up somewhat by an excellent game of football. BBC match report here.

“Stanley” are a rare club having been thrown out of the league in 1962 and have taken a epic resurrection to get them back to playing in the major leagues again. They are also well known for the Milk Marketing Boards TV advert in 1989.

The game was very good as both sides like playing good football and passing it about both short and also the long game.

Accrington won a penalty just after the break but Walsall now have some resilience so fought back well and scored a couple of headers come scrambled goals to go 7th in the table and a play-off spot! Exciting was hardly the word!

Have to say though, the referee was most inept (again).

Bring on Donnie!
