[gazza1988]

Clarke plays a lovely ball to to Gordon on the right in spaces. He runs down the wing with it. Takes on his man and put in a cross into a good place but nobody is there.

[victor A block]

Terrible miss from Akins . Make up for it .

[MTFCMusings]

Great effort by Akins that time, has a good long range shot with his left, just struggles from six yards!

[gazza1988]

Great double save from their keeper.

Ball forwards to Akins who controls it, turns and fries a good left footed shot at goal. Keeper dives to his right and tips it towards Macca. Keeper gets up and saves Macca's shot.

[gazza1988]

Great movement from stags. Maris pings a lovely ball to macca. His low ball for Quinn is turned into the net

Ruled out for offside.

Didn't look it to me.

[MTFCMusings]

That would have been a fantastic goal, it was tight but we don’t have the angle to know.

[gazza1988]

Maris pings another great ball to macca on the left. He crosses in but keeper collects.

[gazza1988]

Gordon running down the right with the ball and his cross is blocked for a corner.

Maris takes it. Macca collects it ont he left of the area and his shot is blocked for a corner.

Quinn takes it and nobody is near it but pool head it on for a stags throw.

[stagparty]

Looks mega tight on replay, cant call it either way so thats on?

[gazza1988]

Harbottle plays the ball forwards to Quinn. He controls it but is dispossessed. Hartlepool try to break and Maris fouls his man and is booked.

Maris just done it again. Needs to be careful, some refs might have produced a 2nd yellow there.

[gazza1988]

Looks mega tight on replay, cant call it either way so thats on?

My first instinct was on. On replay looked tighter.


Likely confirmed offside at half time now

From the free kick Maris gave away. They curl it over the bar.

You can’t possibly call it from the replay, there’s only one Pools player in the frame.

[gazza1988]

Hawkins defending very well tonight.

[gazza1988]

Lapslie with a great tackle on the halfway line to dispossess a pool player. B

[gazza1988]

Good cross from Gordon lands at the feet of Lapslie but he can't control it and its cleared.

[gazza1988]

Macca is down and looks in agony.

This is concerning.

[Ralphy]

Stood in r block upper looked just off to me

[MTFCMusings]

Macca is down and looks in agony.

This is concerning.

Think he’s ok, just trying to get the attack stopped.

[gazza1988]

Macca slid in to tackle. Got up and then went down holding his leg.

He's up and looks OK.

Either overdid the tackle or his minutes so far taking its toll and a bit of cramp?

[arsene wengers coat]

A half full of missed chances and wasted opportunities.

The quin goal should have stood.

Despite that, we have got to put something away. This team isn't right for this fixture.

[gazza1988]

Hartlepool get the ball on their right in acres of space. Fires in a shot and looked to defect of Harbottle (?) and hit the outside of the left post and out for a corner.

Corner comes in and it's dangerous looking but nothing comes to it.

Half time whistle goes and it's 0-0 at half time.

[Ralphy]

Macca slid in to tackle. Got up and then went down holding his leg.

He's up and looks OK.

Either overdid the tackle or his minutes so far taking its toll and a bit of cramp?

Or he was play acting!!

[gazza1988]

Popped back. It was Hawkins it looked like it deflected off.

[Marky Mark]

Something about a striker

[bobbystagsfan]

sort it out Cloughie
