I'll tell you what the virus has done. It's pushed the fucking bottom out of Football & Beer Blogging. What am I supposed to do? The Carrier Bag Firm call to arms is simple. We. Go. Again. So long as you can find anywhere to go.

And, we can't self promote the Blog too much. Because, let's have it right. We're sneaking cans of beer in when we feel confident. The ICC rule means it's not sensible to sneak in top of the range expensive cans. (ICC - In Case of Confiscation). You want something you can happily kiss goodbye as you say - "sorry, didn't realise, I'll just put them in the bin".

BrewDog, Dead Pony Club, Session Pale Ale at just 3.8% does the trick for me. Currently a tenner for two four packs in Morrisons. (Previously as low as £9 in Tesco). A lovely beer, comes in 330s, doesn't look like a tin of Stella, Carlsberg nor Carling.

I've also got a soft spot for;

Aldi, Lunar Lager at 4.6%. Even more "my mistake disposable" at just 99p a tin. Actually, it's not a bad core, pilsner style lager either. But, it's main selling point can be clearly seen….

Any non-league volunteer is going to take one look at that as you swig from it & think - Tin Of Pop. I'll go further - it's the best sneak in can on the market.

Great game that. A bit of a mud slide down at the Cricket Nets End. Hallam started really brightly & had a great chance at the far post in the first minute. It was pretty much end to end stuff from then. Hallam had some great chances, but Brigg hit the post. But I felt Hallam shaded the half. Until. Brigg scored a Penalty more or less on the whistle.

Brigg went two up on 60. And then. The Hallam Show. Two identikit goals for Kieran Watson on 67 & 68 minutes. Wearing 10. Taking the ball into the penalty area in the inside left channel. But, on both occasions, slipping the ball past/under the keeper with the his right boot. And then. Iren Wilson finishing calmly on 73. Bit of the Alamo to finish it all off. Great game.
