Would have been Goal of the Season that one without doubt. Me and my mate seemed to be the only two people who heard the whistle blow and didn't celebrate!!

He was also unlucky when their keeper[who was very good in both our games] superbly stopped his follow up to Mekki's shot.

The Eastleigh game was the first game I have been able to make for a number of years. I took my little lad who is an unswerving Liverpool fan (his Grandad's influence and last laugh from beyond the grave I think).
What an awesome day out we both had. I loved the look on his face when he heard the travelling faithful in full voice from the very get go and those of you that were there did not let him down throughout the game.
I had resorted to having to follow Tranmere on the internet and this forum and was heavily dependant on other people's opinions regarding the team performances and individual players, so it was good to be able to see for myself first hand and pass my own judgement. I'll keep them to myself for more relevant topics on another day. I was just grateful that we were not the woeful team that some of you have reported having seen on other occasions during this season.
In response to some of the other things mentioned in this topic:
The Eastleigh staff from stewards, burger van and parking attendants, were all very helpful with directions, their general demeanour etc (in my experience). So thank you to them!
Norwood's disallowed was a great bit of skill and a well taken finish. I'm not convinced he was offside when the ball was played...but then I was't looking down the line to be 100% certain. To quote my lad, "That was better than a FIFA 16 goal!"
Their 'keeper definitely did not know a lot about saving from Norwood. We were quite close. But he did his job in getting his body in the way and that still makes it a superb save in my book.
More importantly...
My lad has asked to go and see Tranmere again but at Prenton Park next time. Maybe that red shirt can go in the bin sometime soon son?

Point taken Deadly, I was at the match and I think we played for a point.

I have to respectfully disagree as I felt that Brabin adopted his usual and effective tactics for away matches (i.e. extra man in midfield to stifle the opposition and remaining rock solid at the back, then becoming more attack minded towards the end to pinch a goal. Whatever peoples views are about our manager, he has certainly got it right for away games (with a few exceptions of course)
