27mins think it was 442 days, well done Brad that's a monkey off your back may well become a goal machine now.

Never realised an ingrowing toenail could affect your game so much ;)

442 days - maybe a system we should adopt on the field of play - we looked better when we did.

We certainly did. I'm struggling to think of a worse performance from a Diamonds team than the one we produced in the first hour of that game - we could (and perhaps) should have gone 4-1 down when Parky made that error early in the second half, given the chances Kempston missed in the first period.

What a game, great club and ground facilities are top draw..great bit of sunshine too.

Awful first half, thought in the first few mins playing brown and Merrill in a more midfield role was a bit risky, and I proved myself right. I think parky had an absolute mare of a game, his attitude on the entire game was just shocking, and had any other club player just been booked, then sarcastically clapped at referee we would of been screaming for a red!! and also thought Joe Henderson just couldn't be bothered, he was swept aside on many occasions. Not quite sure how their striker, when rounded Finlay managed to side net it.

Thank god for Brad Harris scoring :lol: had it of been based on the entire game I would say diamonds just and only just deserved to win, but based on last 20 mins definitely deserved it as it was more of a team effort!!!

Well done on a whole lads!!

Mal's pics are added to the Match Report - including all the evidence needed that Brad Harris did indeed score.

Is a good set up there and always liked the Club & people but slightly biased as spent 3 years watching footy there prior to last season. Wouldn't it be nice to have something like that in Rushden in a few years time.

Poor first half by all accounts, Starmer must have said something at half time.

We fully deserved to win the game on the second half performance, and for once it was nice to have a referee who let the game flow.

Thought Kempston seemed to lose their discipline once we got on top, but not really a suprise considering the idiot they had for a manager.
