MACCLESFIELD Town recorded their 15th draw of the season as they surrendered a lead for the 10th time. They should consider setting up a pound shop on Mill Street so generous are they to the visiting teams.

Manager Brian Horton however said his team had been magnificent. "I don't want to hear about those statistics anymore", he barked.

"It's too negative when we've only lost two in fifteen".

After Imps boss Keith Alexander was sent to the stands in the 19th minute for kicking the ball away Macclesfield took the lead when referee Jarmail Singh controversially awarded a penalty against Gareth MacAuley for upending Kevin McIntyre.

Clyde Wijnhard nonchalantly converted from the spot for his 12th goal of the season.

Macc should have extended their lead after the break but Wijnhard and Bullock both spurned chances.

Promotion chasing Lincoln stole a point in the 75th minute when Francis Green crossed from the by-line for Jeff Hughes to score with a firm downward header at the far post. Tweet
