The Whistle
goes and it is the Super Whites that kick off in their red and black away
strip. |
| 19:46 |
What looked
like a clear corner for Fulham has been given as a goal kick for Tranmere |
| 19:47 |
Goallllll !!!!! Louis Saha collects
a great cross from Andrejs Stolcers and blasts it in. Tranmere
0 Fulham 1
|
| 19:50 |
COME ON YOU
WHITES COME ON YOU WHITES |
| 19:53 |
Owwwww Fulham
clear and Lee Clark charges out, the ball is passed to Louis Saha who passes
it back to Lee. Lee keeps running and sends a diagonal forward pass on to
Louis Saha who runs on to it. A desperate lunge by a Tranmere defender puts
the ball off for a throw to Fulham |
| 19:59 |
Fulham talent
is obvious but at the moment attacking moves are breaking down in the last
third |
| 20:01 |
Tranmere mount
a counter attack. Steve Finnan tries to break it up but the ball rebounds
to Koumas who goes on a run into the Fulham area. He shoots and the ball
is put off for a corner. |
| 20:02 |
The corner is
taken and Maik Taylor rises to collect the ball without any trouble |
| 20:05 |
Maik Taylor
makes an early long throw and the ball goes to Bazza Hayles who runs toward
the Tranmere area but he is swamped and the ball is cleared |
| 20:06 |
Tranmere counter
attack and Rideout crosses the ball into the Fulham area. Kenna collects
the ball and tries a shot but it is weak and Maik picks it up easily |
| 20:07 |
Fulham try to
create an attack through Steve Finnan and Rufus Brevett but again the last
pass is not good enough and the move breaks down |
| 20:09 |
Steve Finnan
has the ball and he goes on a run and crosses the ball over to Louise Saha
but the Tranmere defence steps forward at the right moment, for them, and
Louise is offside. |
| 20:09 |
COME ON YOU
WHITES |
| 20:13 |
Goallllll
!!!!!! to Bazza Hayles. Tranmere is on the attack but Lee Clark takes the
ball off a Tranmere player and passes it forward to Bazza Hayles who side
steps the Keeper and blasts it into the net. Tranmere 0 Fulham 2 |
| 20:16 |
What??? Right
from the kick off Bazza has collected the ball on the edge of the Tranmere
area and runs at the Tranmere Keeper who catches Bazza's right foot and
brings him down. The Ref has said no penalty!!! What a clown. Will he be
red when he sees that unfortunately that doesn't help Fulham and Bazza. |
| 20:22 |
Fulham playing
great football in the midfield it is a pleasure to see a Fulham team playing
like this after the wilderness years. COME ON YOU WHITES |

Tranmere have
the ball and it goes to Koumas who runs forward but John Collins, who is
playing well, takes the ball off him like taking candy from a baby. |
| 20:26 |
Owwww Osborn
shoots from outside the Fulham area and Lee Clark blocks it and passes forward
to Andrejs Stolcers he passes to John Collins who passes crossfield to Rufus
Brevett. Rufus puts in a hard cross toward Lee Clark who heads the ball
..... just wide. Great move Fulham |
| 20:30 |

The ball comes
in and Osborn rises to head the goalward ..... over the bar |
| 21:00 |
Ohhhh Sean Davis

knee and he needs treatment |
| 21:02 |
Great play by
Sean Davis. He goes in for a tackle wins the ball and turns the Tranmere
player gaining space. He then sends the ball forward to Lee Clark |

hard to create an attack but Fulham players are tackling all over the field.
Tranmere get the ball up to the edge of the Fulham area but it is Bazza

the corner but it is poor and Fulham clear. Andrejs Stolcers passes through
to Lee Clark who is in a good position to make it 4-0 but fluffs his effort |
| 21:20 |
Fulham win their
first corner of the game. The ball comes in and it is going to Louis Saha
but Jobson gets there first and Tranmere clears. |
| 21:22 |
Fulham attack
again with nice stuff between Lee Clark and Andrejs Stolcers but the Keeper
gets to the ball. |
