Shocker for the Palace

[outwoodclaret]

And no it?s not the latest revelations from Harry and Meghan but defeat for the FA Cup holders at non-league Macclesfield. Makes me feel a little bit better about our home FA Cup losses to Wimbledon and Lincoln.

Palace walked into the Perfect Storm wearing sandals instead of gumboots.

It's only just over 25 years since Macclesfield beat us 2-1 in a League game, in what is currently D1, and what a rag-bag team we turned out that day in 1998, no wonder they beat us. I can't remember anything at all about that game at Macclesfield so I'm assuming I wasn't there.

Ward, O'Kane, Vindheim, Reid, Scott, Armstrong, Little, Payton, Swan, Cooke, Eastwood.
Smith, Maylett, Carr-Lawton.

It is a ****hole, even non-league fans are always moaning about the place. No one wants to go there.

I was there too. You have covered it all BT including the fact that we were not covered at all.

Strangely enough, when we played them at home in March 1999, we were in the middle of a bad run, having drawn 3 and lost 5 matches and scored just 4 and conceded 19 in those games. We had dropped from 15th to 21sts in the league.
However, we went two down after 14 minutes but fought back to 2-2 before Macc went 3-2 ahead, we equalised and then won the game in the 90th minute by4-3.
We continued undefeated to the end of the season with another 4 wins and 5 draws to finish the season in 15th place.

Not really alf, however, I have lots of jottings particularly with having lived away from the area since 1966. Good runs like that are listed because it came after such a bad run. As you are aware, that is what football can throw up from time to time, like the season that Leicester survived in the PL after beating us at the Turf.
I was still playing on Saturdays and Sundays in 1999 aged 52 ---no wonder I have knackered knees. lol
