    According to some they are entitled to their opinion.

    Funny how those that slag the players off at the match are the loudest

    This is why I 'walk the earth' mate ...

    ... I sit in an empty seat and stay there unless I get landed with a loudmouthed idiot.

    The first barrage of clichés and I'm gone - 'Couldn't hit a cow's arse with a banjo, never make a football player while I have a hole in my arse, there's not 40,000 people in this bloody ground', etc. Most people are decent but, never mind ear defenders, I'd have to take a Taser if I was stuck near one with my SC <laugh>

    We lost today but I believe we saw what a superb 2nd half of the season is possible if the players keep injury free.

    Watched a stream from after they were ahead.
    It was pretty poor stuff and then we got the goal. Big change imo.
    We gave the ball away a lot but some good moves and skill for a makeshift side.
    I wanted us to win it and progress but I'm not too bothered. I'm saving my celebrations for when we get promoted this season :emoticon-0148-yes:
    <cheers>

    I think we'll kick on even stronger in the run in now :emoticon-0148-yes:


    The tanker has turned and is full steam ahead to the premier League.

    Tankers are driven by heavy fuel oil ...

    ... steam hasn't been used since 1973.

    I was worried about a penalty shoot out against their keeper who must be one of the best outside the Premiership.
    Subs were poor again from Reg , Rusyn is a waste of space and Neil in a back 3 makes no sense.
    We needed to win that game in the 90 mins, Isidor up front and Mayenda alongside him second half might have helped.
    Beat Burnley on Friday and all will be forgotten OaU. .

    I’m delighted Isidor didn’t feature. A nice rest for him, Mepham and Jobe today - bring on Burnley

    Maybe a tad harsh but I’d want Moore to do better there. Stand up longer

    In fairness to poetry and Nig, (not words usually associated) Banana Boat does not have quite the gravitas that Tanker does.

    You always get extra whinging twats at cup games.

    Combination of cheap tickets and less atmosphere, generally.

    More folk who go to odd game and as such expect their 1 to 2 a year to be like watching Brazil 70.

    Honestly think he will be a player for us, obviously drops further than down the pecking order with Le Fee joining

    I could still see Adil going this month, providing we bring in the 2 forwards we want, and I could then see Aleksic being back up across the forward positions

    Can’t say I am disappointed at going out, shame it was at home. I think RLB will have learnt from it.
