A second consecutive 5 nil drubbing in a game to which the Rams contributed absolutely nothing brought mutterings from the fans about the future of the management team.

Tonight's scheduled Evo-Stik Northern Premier League Division One North match between Ramsbottom United and Scarborough Athletic has been postponed due to a waterlogged pitch.

This was a complete performance by a Farsley Celtic team who with games in hand should go onto secure the league championship.

It may have been April Fools Day, but it was no laughing matter for a Ramsbottom United team that has hit a woeful run of form.

Another game, another eleven for the Rams.  Pre-match in the dressing room must resemble an episode of Blind date at the moment.  Perhaps Mark Fell should draft in Paul O'Grady for the tactical talks.

The only thing to remember from an otherwise wholly forgettable match, in which both teams were as bad as each other in serving up a desultory brew, is that the Rams somehow came away with three more points.

The reported post match dressing room traumas after the defeat to Trafford on Saturday at first seemed to have had a cathartic effect on the Rams who started the game brightly playing with some spirit that has been missing in recent matches.

Tuesday Night Fever descended again at the HWRS.  If the Rams do not have a phobia about home midweek matches in the dark against teams that can play football they should have.

A pulsating match which will have pleased the visiting fans and any neutrals in the crowd but will have left the home support as despondent as they were wet in the driving rain.
