South Shields 2-1 Scunthorpe United

Yes it’s 24 hrs later. Still fuming we never put the game to bed in the first half. Those missed opportunities definitely came back to haunt us.
First half we dominated the game, had chance,
after chance, after chance. Just couldn’t get the final touch to put the ball in the net. When we did get a touch defenders or the goalkeeper doing what they do best. Blocking/saving the ball as you’d expect them to be doing. They had a great
chance too, which luckily hit the side netting.
Second half and with in 13 secs South Shields have took the lead. I looked up and the ball was in slow motion as it went past Fitzsimons and into the net. Much to the delight of the home fans. We huffed and puffed to get back into the game. Never had the same fluidity as the first half. Pulled a goal back only for them to take the lead again. Goal ruled out for offside to make it 2-2. All in all another defeat and one that left many unhappy.
Cheers to the Gateshead lads for getting involved and everyone else too. Also Barra for driving and the staff at The Marsden.
We go again Saturday.

As an outsider looking in, who doesn't go to games anymore, (big 70 next year) I've total admiration for your fans who travel all over the country in numbers to follow their team. Non league football in England is the best in Europe by far (compare the attendances) and Scunny have a great following. This league is hard to get out of and in the play offs it's even harder. Compare yourselves to Chester, another ex FL club, who like you probably will, made the play offs last year. Who would have backed Kidderminster before a ball was kicked? I wish you luck but being the 'big' team is doing you no favours at all. In this league the smaller teams just love knocking you off your perch. Good luck, heads up, it isn't over until the last game .
