ALL GAMES
 We've already locked up the top spot in the group, so this looks like our throw-away match. Feel free to play your youth Derek. ~ Rob ~ May 12 (Boston United)  Boston are thru. Marine are thru with a win, or a draw if the other game is a draw, or a one goal loss and the other game is a draw. ~ John ~ May 14 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds)  Peterson and Purvis arrive at a neutral ground, which is appropriate, since I feel nothing about either outcome. The match will happen. I have accepted this. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 15 (Goole AFC)  Peterson and Purvis meet on equal ground — no walls, no advantage, just two sides ready to settle it properly. This one could go either way. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 15 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC)   Bridgwater Town Martyn Hathaway  Carlton Town FC Mike Halpin WHO PREDICTED WHAT BRG (9) Allan, Andy, Bryce, Carl, Derek, Eduard, Mark, Martyn, Rob DRAW (5) Aires, Dave, Ian, Mike, Roger CAR (11) David, Jason, John, Kevin, Mike, Mike, Mike, Phil, Simon, Steve, Vick Two warriors meeting on neutral ground — no walls, no crowd advantage, just pure football warfare. Like a Slayer track with no intro, straight into the chaos from kick-off. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 9 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) Neither team guaranteed to progress with a victory, but winner goes through if Marine lose. If Marine lose by two or more and this is a draw, someone will sneak through but the teams are equal on goals, against, and goal difference. Maybe a sneaky PK shoo ~ John ~ May 14 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds) Hathaway and Halpin. Two men, one pitch, no home comforts. The universe remains indifferent, and today, so am I. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 15 (Goole AFC) Hathaway and Halpin on level ground — no edges, no excuses. Just two sides with something to prove and ninety minutes to prove it. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 15 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) Droylsden are no pushovers but we come ready for war. Like Sabbath says - tomorrow never comes, only now matters. Miners rise. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 9 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) Easy for Dave - he's thru with a win (would overtake the Miners), or if he betters the Halifax result. ~ John ~ May 14 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds) Diamond Dave versus Axel, a neutral venue, and me watching. The universe has constructed this with considerable precision. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 15 (Goole AFC) Diamond Dave wants to climb over us — he'll have to go through us first. Neutral ground, maximum stakes. We're ready. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 15 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC)  resting ~ Mark ~ May 14 (Forest Green Rovers FC) Vick Hall versus Mark Creasey on neutral ground. Neither side gets to feel comfortable, which feels cosmically appropriate given that comfort is largely an illusion anyway. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 15 (Goole AFC) Creasey and Hall both know what neutral ground means — no shelter, nowhere to hide. This one will be decided by who wants it more when the storm hits. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 15 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) Two sides stepping into the void with equal ground beneath them — no walls, no fortress, just pure football warfare. Like Sabbath said, who are you? ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 10 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC)  Gulp!!!! ~ David ~ May 13 (Worksop Town FC) Kingstonian through already, Worksop out already ~ John ~ May 14 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds) Morgan versus Halpin, neutral ground, cup football. Somewhere in the universe a star is dying and I find that marginally more gripping, yet here I am regardless. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 15 (Goole AFC) Morgan vs Halpin on a neutral stage — two sides who've had to scrap for everything this season. No favours, no excuses. Should be a fierce one. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 15 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC)  I'm a big fan of the Olmec brothers waxing poetic on a dead rubber match. ~ Jason ~ May 16 (Kingstonian FC) But anyway, home field in the knockout rounds is at stake for us. ~ Jason ~ May 16 (Kingstonian FC)  AFC Rushden & Diamonds John Holden  Clevedon Town FC Bryce Kalmbach WHO PREDICTED WHAT RUS (18) Aires, Allan, Carl, Dave, David, Derek, Eduard, Ian, Jason, Martyn, Mike, Mike, Mike, Phil, Roger, Simon, Steve, Vick DRAW (3) Andy, Mark, Rob CLE (4) Bryce, John, Kevin, Mike Two warriors meeting on neutral ground, no walls to hide behind. Like a Slayer album, this one cuts both ways — respect to both sides, but only one walks out standing. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 12 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) Winner advances, Clevedon in a draw. Not sure I like the autogen comments ~ John ~ May 14 (AFC Rushden & Diamonds) Holden versus Kalmbach, a neutral ground, and the cup waiting indifferently for whoever wants it least badly. I have calculated seventeen thousand superior ways to spend this afternoon and chosen none of them. ~ Olmec Head Marvin ~ May 15 (Goole AFC) Holden and Kalmbach both know how to build a side that fights — neutral ground strips away everything except raw quality and will. This one could go either way right to the final whistle. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 15 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC)  Wow, we do not have a good recent record against AFC R&D. ~ Bryce ~ May 15 (Clevedon Town FC) |  Dead rubber with both teams already qualified ~ Ian ~ May 9 (Kendal Town FC) Two sides stepping into the void with no walls to lean on — pure warrior test. Like Sabbath said, the stage belongs to whoever wants it most tonight. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 11 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC)  Burton Albion FC James White  Goole AFC Olmec Head Marvin WHO PREDICTED WHAT BUR (22) Aires, Andy, Bryce, Carl, Dave, David, Derek, Eduard, Ian, Jason, John, Kevin, Mark, Martyn, Mike, Mike, Mike, Rob, Roger, Simon, Steve, Vick DRAW (1) Allan GOO (2) Mike, Phil Burton Albion. Lovely. We'll give it our best shot, which historically has been more of a gentle lob. ~ Olmec Head Tim ~ May 9 (Goole AFC)  Here come the hachet men , be lucky to get out of this with just 2 injuries ~ James ~ May 15 (Burton Albion FC)  How hard is this ~ Simon ~ May 9 (Bedford Town FC) Two armies meeting on neutral ground, no fortress walls to hide behind — pure football warfare. Like a Slayer riff, this one could go either way fast. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 13 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC)  Tonbridge Angels Andy Shaw  Harrogate Railway AFC Allan Sellers WHO PREDICTED WHAT TON (7) Andy, Bryce, David, Derek, Jason, Martyn, Phil DRAW (6) Carl, Dave, Ian, Roger, Simon, Vick HAR (12) Aires, Allan, Eduard, John, Kevin, Mark, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Rob, Steve  We need to win to secure qualification or a draw may be enough depending on the outcome of the other match. ~ Andy ~ May 14 (Tonbridge Angels) |  This will be tight ~ Carl ~ May 10 (Hyde FC)  I don't think it will. Best of luck Carl! (not that you're going to need it) ~ Roger ~ May 13 (Chasetown FC)  Shepshed Dynamo FC Alon Atie  Swindon Supermarine FC John Blazel WHO PREDICTED WHAT SHP (19) Allan, Andy, Bryce, Carl, Derek, Eduard, Ian, Jason, Kevin, Mark, Martyn, Mike, Mike, Mike, Phil, Rob, Roger, Simon, Vick DRAW (3) Aires, David, Steve SWI (3) Dave, John, Mike  Luton Town FC Mike Cabral  York City FC James Tucker WHO PREDICTED WHAT LUT (17) Allan, Andy, Bryce, Carl, Derek, Eduard, John, Kevin, Martyn, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Rob, Roger, Steve, Vick DRAW (3) David, Ian, Phil YOR (5) Aires, Dave, Jason, Mark, Simon  I guess somebody has to be second in this group. Best of luck, James! ~ Mike ~ May 11 (Luton Town FC)  AFC Wimbledon Dave Dohm  AFC Fylde Phil McIntosh WHO PREDICTED WHAT WIM (20) Allan, Andy, Bryce, Carl, Dave, Eduard, Ian, Jason, John, Kevin, Mark, Martyn, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Rob, Roger, Simon, Steve DRAW (1) Vick FYL (4) Aires, David, Derek, Phil  Really need this one to continue the rebuild and compete in division 1 ~ Dave ~ May 12 (AFC Wimbledon) Neutral ground, no fortress walls — just two sides and the open battlefield. McIntosh built something real in that inaugural season, but Outlaw Dave's crocodiles are always lurking. ~ Olmec Head Axel ~ May 15 (Rainworth Miners Welfare FC) |
