SAINTS-ALIVE!

After tonights super show; the COMSTAD opener, TNS may be up for sweepinbg across other Welsh opposition. A solid back line could cope with constant waves of attacks.
TNS struggled to get shots on target (I saw one) and off target I think there was 2. Seaman could brush his hair freely, and safely.
Good to see 1000+ TNS fans, and numerous "Madchester Waves" around the arena were made by TNS and City fans.
Good clean family atmosphere - no racism, and foul language.
The second leg will be interesting; however, I reckon City will be aiming for more than 5.
What the hell is the TNS Terrier? Where'd they dig that mascot up from? The Terrier was more dalmation-meets-labrador!
TNS put on a brave show, and the Welsh should be proud.
"Show WP on BBC" banner was a nice touch.

Saints did Welsh football proud - there have been many worse results against far worse opposition in previous years.
They only had 30% of the possession, but the damage limitation tactics were spot on and TNS stuck to the game plan.
The stadium is superb with a brilliant atmosphere.
There were also Rhyl F C and Afan Lido (Seasiders) banners!

Dull by normal Maine Road standards... but times will change.
Are TNS going to show some football skills and try to get a goal or two in the next leg?

I was dead pleased with our performance:
we did have a few good passing moves
if we were in the English league then we would be in at least the Doc. Martins
Only 1-0 down at H/T
city are obviously going to be much fitter than us
Friendly atmosphere

Only 2 things annoyed me
a) No programmes left by the time i got in
b) Having to walk 15 minute dout of our way to get back to the car, and that was after sneaking through a line of cops.

Generally, a good night

Altogether now:
at home, we'll beat you at home..........

Weaver made two crucial saves stopping TNS from being in front.

'Spot' the dog used to make regular apearances at Treflan, but hasn't been sighted there for a long time. Maybe 2 or 3 seasons ago i remember him, sometime around juts before the temporary stand was put up before the Wrexham game in the cup.

You should keep them there for all the games - get more families visiting!
