'Refs book me quicker coz it's me': Shrimpers after Latics

Mohsni: Late header

I wuz robbed; Mohsni unhappy with match officials shock!

A bloody trip to an artic cold Oldham a couple of Tuesday's before Christmas, thanks Ryan, couldn't you have left the score as it was!

Then again, if our favourite French Tunisian had had either of his efforts that hit the back of the net given we would be celebrating another victory over League One opposition.

So, what did Bilel have to say after the game: 'I feel unlucky. The first goal that was disallowed was 50/50 and the second I was onside.'

Well, he would say that wouldn't he, but that late header, certainly would like to see it again.

Bilel continued: 'I didn't deserve to be sent off either. I made two fouls so it would've been harsh. Refs book me quicker coz it's me.'

On to Blues boss Paul Sturrock, can't like the fact his small swuad has to face yet another game!

He said: 'We showed them too much respect in the first half. I changed it at the break and we were much better after that. Oldham were hanging on at the end and another game does give us an extra complication.'

They sure were, shame we only seem to get going with a half hour to go, it's happened so many times over our 17-match club equalling record unbeaten run.

Goalscorer Hall: 'We were much better second half and that will give us confidence for the replay.'

It should do, be intersting what line-up Luggy puts out inbetween the two league games against Cheltenham & Bradford.

After loanee keeper Luke Daniels thanked Trust members for making him the player of the month for November, he added: 'Happy to be in the draw for the third round of the could have won it though'

So, as ever, the last word falls to defender Mark Phillips, who joins Michael Timlin in missing Tuesday evening's regional semi-final with Swindon Town, after both picked up, possibily, cynical fifth yellow cards for them both, blimey Timmo couldn't play in it anyway!

He tweeted: 'Hardest thing I had to do today - I'd call myself a honest committed defender and had to do something today totally un-natural to me....All I can say is sorry ref......'

For what Mark?
