Aldershot 0 - Shersburry 2 (Darby)

Aldershot 1 - 3 Shrewsbury (N. Roddis)

It's currently half time in this match with the score one a piece.

I've been listening to the match over Shrewsbury Town's radio service. And I have say, welcome to amateur hour!

The service is being done by two blokes and couple of mobile phones. The reception is awful, the cliches worse and the description of the action at best shaky.

Now that it is half time. They have committed the worst offence known to radio presenters - they're leaving dead air!

There is no talking, no round up of the first half action. No, all I can hear is the half time music and announcements braodcast over the stadium tannoy system. We started off with Tom Jones "Sex Bomb"; then we got Chesney Hawkes "The One And Only"; and now I think it's a bunch of 'cheerleaders' on the pitch performing to some non-descript Top-40 garbage

Don't give up the day job lads

I've just recognised the non-descript Top-40 thing as Britney Spears "Toxic".

Now it's a prize draw for something or other. The winner gets a new car.

The winning ticket is number 15 which means the car goes to a fan from Morecambe FC.

Now back to the music, and it's "Mambo Number 5"...

Sounds like a bit of a larf...

And then the 'commentators' were late for the kick off as they were enjoying the Press Box sarnies and drinkies too much!

They are now back on air and sounding rather out of breath

The wonders of amateur commentary!

One of them has just mumbled, "Oh fuc..." in response to an Aldershot attack

Ooops

Excellente!

It's going to extra-time, and the commentators have dropped their mics and buggered off back to bar.

Dead air time again...

They're palying extra-time as I type - but I don't care

So well done McKay, you've won this round! YAY!!!

I watched the match, and was cheering on Shrewsbury for some strange reason

Bugger... I was subscribed this time around, but just forgot to predict anything.

I think maybe you should abandon this competition while you can.

Creachy - fond memories of them walloping Everton, perhaps?

B

Yet when I remember to, I'm doing quite well in this one
