Football really is a game of two halves. Southport dominated the first half and had countless shots on goal, but only managed to score one. Although the side was missing some players through injury it looked pretty good and played very well. Jackson had a good game (I had begun to wonder if he was still with us).
At the end of the second half the team got a standing ovation and were applauded off the pitch.
Second half Stevenage scored while Southport were still licking their fingers from the half-time oranges. And not long afterwards our make-shift defence let another in. Despite some good moments, Southport never looked like getting a win or a draw. Stevenage attacked well and looked far more confident. Lane was sent off for two yellows after a bad tackle.
The team that was applauded was boo-ed off at the end and were told they were shit.
Its a funny old game.
The away fans didnt stop singing all night, I could hear them before I had walked up to Haig Ave. They were only drowned out at the end by the cries of "SHIT" and "Boooo" from Southport "supporters" abusing their own players.
