Wow some entertainment at the proud home of conference toilet football the Abbey Stadium tonight... we're in shit form no win in five and manager Jez George made the bold decision to drop a number of players who more than under performed in the 4-1 home tanking by Wrexham last Saturday which I missed as was in Aberdeen and watched from the comfort of an armchair, vodka and coke and updates via Sky Sports News (in HD mind!). The game was shifted to the evening as it was being shown to two pubs, one man and his dog via satellite channel few have heard of Premier Sports.

Why on earth they thought Cambridge United v AFC Telford was worthy of live TV coverage is beyond me but they evidently knew something was in the air as it was a corking match. 0-0 at half time, we had enough chances to put the game to bed but as is always the case when things ain't going your way, they just refuse to go in (hit the post twice, bar once and had an effort cleared off the line which looked suspiciously like hand ball.

Same old scenario start of second half we conceded early. The 60 odd Telford fans and their drum went a bit mental, they already beaten title favourites Luton Town away this season so are no mugs. We continue to siege their goal and get our just rewards with 2 goals in five mins. 15 mins to go, we're in control surely nothing can go wrong??? Then with less than ten minutes on the clock we start playing a bit sloppy, giving the ball away... the usual crap you expect from fifth tier players. They score a screamer... 2-2. Ok a draw we'll take that. We look nervous though. Then they score another... bugger we don't deserve this. With so many goals and with both teams having made three subs, the fourth official announces five mins of stoppage time. We waste a fantastic chance, you know that chance you always get late in the game. Then two mins into stoppage time a couple of Telford players are holding our between 15 and 50k depending on which report or message board you read striker Sam Smith upright. At first we thought there was some fisticuffs but as time progressed he'd evidently sustained a serious injury (head clash we think as one of the Telford players who was holding him completed the game with a bandage on his head). It was an off the ball incident so didn't see exactly what happened.

The injury break took an age and Smith was stretchered off (he'd only literally come on as a sub) and the game restarts. Ball breaks to Tom Shaw who thrusts past a number of Telford players to thrust the ball home from outside the penalty area in the 110th minute, crowd (a poor one as well less than 2,000) go mental. We get a more than deserved point, it feels like a win.

This is why I love football so much and watching it live. You couldn't script that. Final score 3-3. Am happy tonight.
