I think Lincoln may well prevail. Cowley is good at one off games/cup ties etc.

someone on Barnets forum bleating that the fa should deduct points for playing out a draw,wonder if its the same sharp object who wanted the fa to step in about our peno at  Swindon,what a tosspot,bye bye Barnet,UTFM

To be fair, if the clip they just showed on The Goal Rush is anything to go by, they might actually have a case.

Back in 2004, during the Euro Champs, I was at the game where Denmark drew 2-2 with Sweden to send them both through and put Italy out of the competition. I think that was just about the only result which would have knocked the Eyeties out so naturally, they called foul. However, at the game, it was certainly a full-blooded affair with both teams looking to win for most of the game and it was only when the equaliser went in that both teams thought better of it and sat back while tapping the ball around at the back. If you saw the reports back then, I'm sure many would note that the result was a foregone conclusion but, as a neutral at the fame, that certainly wasn't the case. Quite possibly similar with Morecambe today.

Yeah, at the end of a game like that it's only natural both teams will sit on what they've got. I remember Huddersfield and someone else doing it to stay up a few seasons back when Peterborough went down. It was hardly Germany v Austria in 1982!

That clip out of context did look very dodgy, but then when you watch the full highlights Morecambe's keeper kept them in the game (and the league)

Barnet fans are probably feeling a bit flat due to their expectation - as would most of us expected - of Coventry rolling over Morecambe on the last day.  

Any other time of the season and Coventry would give Morecambe a proper thumping, putting 4 or 5 past them without breaking sweat.  

It was almost a miraculous escape.  If they had got Allen in earlier they would've stayed up: his record is pretty remarkable having won 5 out of the 8 games.  

Fortunately for us MJ had a similar positive effect on our fortunes and the rest is history...

Yeah, they were fantastic against us in the 2nd leg at Braintree weren't they?


I've wasted my life in black and white, a pathetic act for a worthless cause

Is someone had told us ten games ago that we would need 47 points to stay up I think we would all have given it up as a mission impossible.

From where we were in March, to end up with 51 points is incredible.

I keep thinking I am going to wake up and find the last two months were just a dream........
