A quite unbelievable day. I was invited for hospitality by an Aldershot director which was very nice and we find ourselves one down after a minute through terrible defending. Poor marking led to us being two down at HT. The second half started well for us with Bennett thundering a shot wide and we seemed to gain confidence. A great individual goal got us back in the game and Beeley got sent off although the incident was shielded from my view.Anderton received a soft second yellow for holding and he was gone. Six mins of injury time and a superb free kick from Hannah got us a draw from absolutely nothing. Well done lads though god knows the defensive formation for Wednesday. Can't go now because they changed it. What a day.

Shots fans calling us "horrible", "old-style dirty", "a disgrace" and that we should have been down to 8 at the end. Exactly the stuff we would say if it happened to us. :-)
It all comes 'round again.

Any truth in the comment from an Aldershot fan? :scarf:

Also a special mention for their keeper goading the East Bank at the end and their lovely supporters trying to provoke fights with Aldershot fans by their bus on Redan Hill after the game.

Flatt, yes. He turned to their home end at full time and goaded them, brilliant stuff.

Outside the ground, Barrow fans in high jinx, Aldershot fans taking exception and calling us "dirty northern [SwearFilter]" and "get back to your northern slums" etc so plenty of verbals exchanged but nothing to write home about.

As for the game, in general we were poor and need to be much much better if we're going to make the play offs. Fantastic attitude though and it's been a good while since I've celebrated that much. Still bouncing now, felt like a last minute winner.

Why were the group of home fans stood by our bus after the match - clearly didn't want to wish us a pleasant journey home.
Barrow fans mocked them for the chants they sung at us inside the ground. Shouldn't give it out if they can't take it! Nothing in it.

We're all supporters on here. Let's leave the negative comments to the away fans

Everytime he takes a kick "your shit aaaaaahhh" no wonder he fist pumps at end go on lad.

All gob there lot how dare we celebrate being down to 9 and getting a great point.

Very bitter but no punches thrown so nothing to write home about and a very haply bus home. BLUEBIRDS.

More than the 81 away fans quoted as it wasn't marked which turnstile for away fans to enter so you had fans using whatever turnstile they could to get in and was unsegregated until you walked to the away fans stand like Dagenham and more than 80 odd quoted. Even went in their bar at HT and Shots fans were fine then.
Clearly the ones at the end are pretty upset about throwing away 2 points :lol:

Indeed - he'll probably have to play at full back.

Wonderful point. We only need 9 men so don't worry about the small squad size! :scarf:
Excellent character from the boys again. It's not pretty, but it's effective.

According to the BBC both were sent off for 2 yellow cards.
If true they will only miss one match
