So Argyle were deducted 10 points by the Football League for going into administration and thus placing them firmly at the bottom of the table. It was good to see the passion there still on and off the pitch. helped with it being Armed Forces Day and the sight of the Royal Marines abseiling from the roof before kick off and then Pilgrim Pete also abseiling to loud cheers and then running on to the pitch with the match ball. Rory Fallon opened the scoring on what be a tough time for the New Zealander. The scores were level when Zubar put into his own goal. To make matters worse it was probably Colchester's only attempt at goal in the first half that resulted in the goal. The match heated up when Argyle had Clarke sent off with a straight red and although you would expect the 10 men side to concentrate on defending it was Argyle that carried on with the attack and it paid off when the referee awarded a penalty and Bolasie put it away. Final score Argyle 2-1 Colchester.
The sporting good news continued in the evening when England took on France in the Rugby Union Six Nations. England running out 17-9 winners and taking one step further to winning the Grand Slam and Six Nations trophy. The Irish are up next in two weeks time.
If Arsenal beat Birmingham in the League Cup Final at Wembley tomorrow this will be one of the best weekends I have had for along time.
