CITY 4 Brentford 1

Last updated : 30 August 2004 By Ciderjar
More of the same. A 30 yard shot from Brian Tinnion rolls slowly into the keepers arms. A Scott Murray bobbling shot tipped over by the keeper, the resulting corner does not beat the first defender. Christian Roberts rounds the keeper and misses. A Murray cross shot is diverted for a corner, but wait what is this GOOOOAAAALLLL!! Luke Wilkshire back from Olympic duty with Australia, tucks a low shot home. We've only bleeding scored from a corner.

1-0 (25 mins)

Order is resumed as Roberts misses another chance. He really ought to be able to hit a cows backside with a banjo, but he can't can he? Murray is clean through and brought down. No penalty - we are going for a record here no penalty for City for how long? Something to research later.

Scott Murray showing bizarre signs of confidence. Has a shot that nearly goes out for a throw in. On the bright side we currently are out of the relegation zone.

Good news coming in from the Bescott as Walsall get the equaliser against the swindlers having been 0-2 down. And Baaaardiff dwarves are 2-0 down at Wigan. All we need now is a goal for Rushden and/or Diamonds.

One minute of injury time. Not much more to report except for chances for Murray and Roberts who appear to have taken Tinnions kick up the backside in the way it was intended, and are trying to play football.

HT 1-0

Jingle Bells
Jingle Bells
Jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to sing when Brentford lose away

Fair play to the Brentford fans for their song. Scott Murray rewards them with a GOALLL!! Deon Burton had looked to equalise in the first minute of the second half as he flashed a shot narrowly wide.

2-0 (48 mins)

The crowd is announced as 10,296, more than expected following a bad run of results which is about to end. A 40 yard shot from Matty Hill flashes narrowly wide off a Brentford boot. Nothing from the corner.

Brentford get a goal back via Kevin O'Connor from a Deon Burton cross. Game on again.

2-1 (61 mins)

Murray crosses, to Lita, he lays it on a plate for Luke Wilkshire to get his second.

3-1 (69 mins)

Super Scott Murray scores on the break, as he was doing 2 years ago.

4-1 (73 mins)

Oh yes here we go. 11 straight wins now ought to put us back into contention. No substitutions so far from Tinnion, 82 minutes gone. Bradley Orr to come on for Tinnion? No bookings either. Doherty goes off to be replaced by Orr (84mins) and is hugged by Tinman (lucky Doc).

Danny Coles tries his best to score for Brentford with a mis-directed back pass. Swindlers now losing at Walsall. Nothing from Rushden and Diamonds. Murray and Wilkshire both thwarted from getting last minute hat-tricks. Scott Murray named Man of the Match.

TINMAN!!!!!! Hits the post and goes behind for a goal kick.

FT 4-1 YOU REDS!!!!
