The first ten minutes was pretty much all City and it was looking good.

And the then unbelievable happened. Not only was Trev in the right place at the right time, and not only did he strike the ball beautifully with his left foot from 18 yards out...it bloody went in!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Corky, you're a bleeding miracle worker and we salute you!

Trev ran off to do a silly celebration but didn't get chance as he was mobbed by his team mates and the whole stadium went loopy and laughed their heads off that it was Trev that had scored.

We slate Trev week in and week out here on FFS even though we love him, but he got it spot on this time. A lovely taken goal. Can he ever do it again? We'll see!

The City fans were singing "We'll be top by ten o'clock" and Pompey went a bit quiet.

Pompey had several chances in the first half but really were bloody awful near goal with balls flying all over off target. Plenty of Ade chants came out of the Fosse Kop.

Half time gave everyone a bit of a feel good factor as Birchy did his we're coming out of administration routine and then dragged out first Ian Marshall to great applause and then Neil Lennon to a standing ovation. It felt like the old days and it felt good.

But then the teams came out and we had to look at a team that didn't feel like the old days and didn't feel good. And they certainly didn't play well! The second half was a dismal performace with City totally standing back and letting a very poor Portsmouth suddenly look half decent as we let them come at us again and again, especially down the Rogers side.

Mad Frank made a blinding tackle to stop a goal at one point, which made up for his mistakes earlier!

Dickov missed a great chance one on one with the keeper and it went wide although replays show the keeper got his hand to it (not that the ref gave a corner of course).

Ah yes, the referee, Mr Mike Pike from Cumbria. Mr Pike decided he wanted to give absolutely every single decision to Pompey. The Stadium erupted again and again and people screamed abuse at him as he beggared belief over and over.

It was only going to be time before they scored, and they did.

Merson, who was totally crap all game much to the delight of the City fans, laid the ball off to Taylor. Taylor (we really hate that name) let rip with a spectacular right-foot curler which hit the post and bloody went in instead of out.

City pushed up at the end of the second half looking for the winner but were penalised unfairly again and again by the referee. Dickov and Izzet were bundled off the ball several times but we didn't get anything. City fans were furious.

Micky may says he's happy with a point and will settle for second...we think it was 2 points lost and not 1 point gained, thrown away by sitting back and letting them come at us, and by Rogers in particular being totally rubbish.

They had 12 corners to our 1. Feeble. And out of those 12, 10 were short corners and totally wasted by them...but did we learn? Did we see they were going to take yet another short corner? Did Rogers go out to them? No, only Muzzy every time. Where's the footballing brains? Sadly lacking.

And not helped by one of the most dismal refereeing performances ever seen by man. In any average game the foul count is usually pretty even. Look at the stats from this game...23 to 9 fouls!! The Kop were singing "what's it like to fix a game". Mike Pike can be rated at www.ratetheref.co.uk...let everyone know what you thought of him.
