Billericay 0 Ramsgate 1 FT

[finisterre]

According to Sky :-(

[Balmoral Claret]

That Clarets v Ricay playoff showdown becomes one step closer.

[Ian_Sanderson]

Thats if you make the play offs

[Balmoral Claret]

After you've beaten Margate next week, we SHOULD make it.

[Blue Hell]

Are you mental! even if we don't win the league (which we can still do) we will definitely make the play offs

[Balmoral Claret]

Hold on Blue Hell - who's side are you on? I KNOW Ricay will definitely make the playoffs, it's us Clarets that are doubtful at the moment, but when you beat Margate next week, it SHOULD almost guarantee we make them too. (we still have Slough to play, and ANYONE can beat them can't they?)

Well what can you say?

 

Today we were just unable to make any of our countless number of chances tell and Ramsgate nicked one near the end.

 

I would imagine our game plan worked fairly well, tightish in the first half against the wind and the after the break we completely dominated. One triple-penalty shout turned down, two efforts against the woodwook and so many other chances it was untrue. I think they scored the only time they were in our half second half but that's footy I suppose.

 

It's still all to play for but Hampton look in a very strong position now...Surely it's not gonna be a cough...Come on Chelmsford for their clash on Friday.

 

Have to mention to two Ramsgate manager/coaches who were quality banter all through the game, easily the best from the Oppo so far this season.

 

Our lads worked hard again today but it was just one of those days....

One of those days sums it up really, we had the better of the chances throughout but didn't take any, they had 2 efforts on target all game and won one nil. Results not too bad for us, Brom and Chelmo losing, but we could do with a good week!

[Ram 1664]

Unlucky Ricay, hope this defeat makes you more determind to beat Margate on tuesday,if its any conselation your the best team we have played this season..Good luck for tuesday

[Rick the Dick]

Well, at least we don't have the "undefeated at home" tag to live up to now!

 

Just couldn't find the back of the net despite numerous chances and eventually paid the price. Cruel but can't complain.

 

Burbs played the best I've seen him in a blue shirt. Looked really sharp and hungry. Flackie caused havoc. How did we not score???

 

Every time Chelmo trip up we fail to punish them. Still, makes it exciting! Still everything to play for although Hampton are looking strongly placed. And AFC appear to be throwing everything at it.

 

It's a funny old game.

 

[Rob_Butler]

Both of our games you have had the lion share of chances, both of the games we have won. Just not ment to be for you guys!

 

After our game at Southwood you picked out the good things rather saying "They are all thugs and the ground is a bombsite" like some braindead supporters of other clubs do. After todays game, one of your fans said "you were one of the friendliest clubs we have played". I doubt many clubs would have fans saying that about us, especially after a defeat. Your fans are a credit to your club.

 

Good luck for the rest of the season (well next week atleast!). You deserved more than you got to day, but our players never gave up and in the end that was decisive.

[RamsgateMICK]

Unlucky Billericay,your side were superb today,we were lucky to pinch a win today but thats football im afraid,we have all been there and will be again no doubt.I very much enjoyed my time spent at your club, good luck for the rest of the season

[Leedsclive]

Yes, noticeably more gracious than your friends from Chelmsford. Obviously they cannot stomach not beating a team like us with their bitter comments. Strikes me that they think having washed up ex-league players like Minton and never will be league players like Boylan they think they have a divine right to win, but instead of looking at their own inadequacies they want to blame anyone but themselves for their failure.

I guess a town which wrongly thinks it's a city is bound to have psychologicla problems. Good luck when you play them as well as the bluenoses at Hartsdown - maybe we'll meet in the play-offs.

[Ian_Sanderson]

good luck Tuesday against The Blue Scum

[coxy]

It was one of those days when we wasn't going to score even though we had a hat full of chances but im sure there bounce back Tuesday night, i also hope that fellows alright who broke his ankle just before half time.

[The Town Crier]

 

 

Can't really ad anything to that, it was a good day, good performance, but a bad result if you're a billericay supporter.

 

However, good luck to the Rams, thanks for you your kind words, and pass on our good wishes to the fella with the ankle.

After going to hospital tests found it was just a bad sprain. #

 

PS. Can one of your fans bring me down a Steak & Bacon baguette on Tuesday!

We couldn't have put it better ourselves!

[Rob_Butler]

Seeing as you are away on Easter Monday, on Tuesday night can you bring your roof down to Margate and leave it there for a week?

[Rick the Dick]

Just noticed yesterdays official attendance was 661. Good turnout and shows what a bit of success can do. Spot of sunshine no doubt helped as well.
