Strange game

As Peche says, Oldham had 6/7 chances first half, at least 3 of which they should have buried, although Forde didn't have to save any of them
Yet I didn't think our defence was playing that badly.

The penalty was bizarre to say the least.
They had cleared an attack and the ball and 18 players were 60yds away near our area as Gregan and Morison got to their feet near the edge of the area. Didn't look like anything was said beforehand but Gregan grabbed Morison by the throat, with the lino still in line with them.
Seemed like an age, with the lino transfixed and play going on at our end and then he raised his flag. Even then is was a shock to see the pen given.

Although Harris scored it, the hero was really Morison because he didn't re-act or retaliate but just raised his hands to the lino.
I'm sure harris and almost anyone else would have pushed back on Gregan and the scen would have been ignored or more likely Morison booked.

As bad as we were today, Oldham were worse and didn't have enough to take advantage of our attempts to let them back into the game.
It was an awful, scrappy game that was made slightly surreal by the fog, the bookings, the penalty and the delapidation of Boundary park.
Plenty of noise and singing from the 250(?) who made it up and 3 welcome points but we'd be stuffed with a performance like that another day.
