MK Dons FC (A)

Quite right to talk about the brilliant strike by Acquah but let's also hear it for Ben Whitfield too. His strike might have looked more straightforward than Acquah's but I think there's a classy stroke of genius in what Whitfield did; having looked at it a few times it's the way he sorts his feet out with a little hop so that he can hit it first time as he did. Probably if he hadn't had the speed of thought to take that little hop he would have had to take more touches to sort his feet and get the ball under control and that might have meant the chance would have gone. We all know Ben missed a great chance to win it against Notts County last week but I'll definitely excuse that on lack of match sharpness after a long time out with injury. What a cracking footballer Ben Whitfield is.

Adam's great at many things but capturing the moment is probably at the top of his talents. I must have been to thousands of BAFC games in my time but there are a special few that you will always remember. Most of them are ones that come out of left field like yesterday. Until the 94th minute this was a game i was desperate to forget. Three minutes later it became a game I will never forget.

There is clearly a case for not ignoring what went on for the first 93 minutes. But in another sense that is totally irrelevant. As a football supporter you will very rarely get an adrenaline rush like yesterday more than a few times in a lifetime. And its one of those occasions where actually being there does improve the collective experience.

For MK the feeling must be absolutely the opposite. I can still barely recall my own feelings when Tranmere scored those three late goals in injury time. It was beyond irritation, beyond anger. It was painful. The supreme irony is that MK Dons will now probably be feeling worse than if BAFC had actually edged a rather boring game by the odd goal.

Not my video but worth a watch for those that haven't seen it

[behind the goals]

Many have said one of the poorest games played by a Barrow side for many years just how bad was it.

It wasn't bad, we dominated the ball but in the final third we were woeful for 90 mins. Two poor goals to concede but that happens, our defence on the whole this season has been pretty solid.

No chance

[Adam29]

Wouldn’t say it was a poor performance
I’ve seen us play far worse. - it was another frustrating performance. A lot of possession, created some good half chances. Credit to MK too prior to the 93rd minute they did defend well. Those 3 crazy minutes if anything have shown that we can take our chances when they really matter. Just a case of starting to do that at 0-0 and not give teams a leg up

Hyperbolic nonsense.

[barrowaberdeen]

It wasn't the worst we'd played for years but aside from Morecambe on Tuesday I thought we were the worst we've been this season But good old football turned slinking away grumbling to hugging each other while jumping about like lunatics.

Nothing if not full of character. Even if we didn't 'Trust the Process' (because the process was somnumbulent) the players did and how.

There's something happening here, but what it is ain't exactly clear.

Thats is outstanding commentary!!!!, it must be so hard for Adam not to swear while being caught in the moment, fantastic composure !!!!

Whoever told you it was one of Barrows poorest games "behind the goals", hasn't watched many Barrow performances in recent years, absolutely ridiculous statement

Just going by the Forum comments from the game and those that attended, many said we were rubbish.

Even just in recent memory, we had far worse performances regularly under Dunn and Cooper.
