Real nail biting stuff at Rossendale tonight where the scoreline could well have been 9 all ! Another great away victory although we had to fight all the way particularly after the dismissal of our full-back Darren Hockenhull which led to a Rossy penalty equaliser for 2-2 after 49 minutes after we had raced into a two goal lead after only 11 minutes. Thereafter we led
3-2, 4-3, 5-3 and finally 5-4. Totally exhausting stuff.

Next game at Harrogate Railway Athletic on Saturday as we attempt to keep our dreams of Unibond Football alive!

not a chance mate, too many years of bully boy tactics has made salford a rubbish footballing team! I'm a local lad and dont get me wrong i'd like them to do well but players like massey and that moses lad have not helped! i played at trafford for 3 seasons until i did my knee in 2 years ago and look how they have done this season by trying to play football!

Great result at least the lads are still giving it a go despite the futility of it.

You think? I though 2 or 3 reasons back and for a couple of seasons we were a really good footballing side, (pre and during FCUM's time in NWC1) Burke, Ronbinson x2, Baguley etc and along with Curzon I though the Ammies played some really good football and at times over played thus never really achieving the ultimate aim at that time.

I'd agree on Massey, Tunj had the ability but as you point out he didn't tend to use it enough. Last season and this I would tend to agree that we havent played the prettiest of football but before that, we played some nice stuff.

Thought Salford played some decent stuff when we played them in a friendly in the summer.

Would I be right in thinking that Massey would be the infamous Barry Massey?

Close one at Radcliffe tonight; LGFC 0 Nantwich 8

i know them players well, good friends with matty burke, doing ok for himself now, captain of vauxhall motors. John robinson is pretty quick but is a bit head down and run with the ball, not good enough for unibond level. Same with Nick robinson, how he is now getting paid to play in melbourne now is beyond me! Baggers is a good player and will always do well if he is surrounded by half decent players. That forrestor is a good player, will probably get snapped up next season. I played with martin andrews at trafford, good player and never stops running!

Yeah Lathan's Ok but he's definatly a head down runner, but when he lifts his head boy can he do the business, he's a frustrating player though, too many time he's tries to take on a man to many or when he's done the man he go's back for another go and far, far too often the final product isn't there.

One of the best performances of the season from FC last night, should've been more goals. How it was 0-0 at half time I don't know.

Still, no doubt we'll get a bad result at Hednesford on Saturday!

Good to see Rudd getting on the scoresheet.

All you need is Rudd.

Can't believe the old bugger is still playing!!! I'm 31 and played at Salford with Baz when I was 17 and he must've been in his mid/late 20's then!!! He must be 40+. As to his footballing style (or lack of) I'd liken him to John Fashanu, he's got the sharpest elbows I've ever been on the receiving end of The phrase "old-fashioned centre forward" is an apt way to describe him.

Baz aka Yum-Yum is still playing although not with the Ammies. He's currently plying his trade with Runcorn Linnets in the North West Counties Premier Division along with ex Salford players Simon Myerscough, Kenny
Tudor and Steve Cunningham. A real character and a firm favourite during his time at Moor Lane.
