Away league match played on 23 October 2005.
Kicked off at 10:00 AM

There were two big questions on everyone's lips, would the Vale's scoring streak continue, and after scoring 7 the week before would the gaffer put himself straight back

into the team? The answer to both was a big YES.

On a miserable morning in the Kidderminster / Stourport boundaries the changing rooms were full of hungover people not looking particularly happy to be there. All except Mick who Gary Linekerlike had a mysterious " poorly " toe , reading between the lines Mick

couldn't be arsed and fancied reverting back to Lino!

Anyway, to the game - the Vale started like the finely tuned express train that they are, and within the opening 5 minutes had forced a corner, Dan floated a perfect cross over, the keeper rose like a salmon, grasped at thin air and Laaner couldn't miss 1-0 to the Vale.

The Vale drove forward and 3 minutes later Matty surged into the box, the defender nailed him and 30 seconds later Matty landed in a crumpled heap , penalty to the Valesters....up stepped Laan and slots it away.

Unfortunately this is were it went a bit pear shaped, 22 minutes in and a long ball is played through and from outside of the penalty area the sofa is beaten. Yaa booo.

10 minutes later and a bobbly shot evades everyone in the box and the sofa's alcohol impaired reactions show as the ball bobbles into the net off the inside of the post, arse!

Half time comes with not much more action with the exception of Brew's flying header for the camera's that unfortunately weren't there to see it.

Second half starts Harriers corner, Steve and their forward challenge, it ricochets and goes in off the f'ing post again, bugger!

On comes Savo for Tim and there is a tactical reshuffle, Sav immediately makes monkeys out of two Harriers defenders who in turn try to separate Savo at the waist.

Not to be out done by Brew Steve gets in on the act of posiest header, bloody show off.

The Vale have now got the bit between there teeth and after a goalmouth scramble the ball hit's Alex right up the crack and fortunately hits the back of the net , not pretty but who gives a sh*t we're level!

Then Laan's head is mistaken for the ball leaving Laan to struggle to remember what his name is let alone that he's scored twice , walking around dazed not knowing what he was doing made him look like he was playing like the gaffer!

After a pretty piss poor attempt at a shot by the mighty Pedro the rebound comes to him and he pings in a fantastic cross to the back post where the ginger ferret (not Mick but Steve) is waiting to head home 4-3 to the Vale.

All that's left then is for Laan to go off as he hasn't got a clue what is going on or what the score is and for Dan for the second week running to leave the field with a bloody nose, with it being the B C Ladyboy's next week the odds for Dan getting a hattrick of nose bleeds are about 2/1.
