Scnuthorpe Match in the cold light of day

Couldn't post last night, I was livid, but I feel much better about the performance this morning even though the result wasn't what i wanted.

The things we have all been saying all summer came to fruition last night.

Our strikers and midfield were great. We dominated when attacking. It was last ditch defending from Scnuthorpe, but they wanted it more than we did. We should have had ten they had that many clearances off the line.

Our defence was *****. Swindon did not test our defence. Scnuthorpe did and found us lacking. They had two cracking fast nippy lads, first one showed Carbon for the doddery pensioner with no skill that he is drawing the penalty and the second came on with fresh legs and simply ran past our tired and lack lustre defence. He made Austin look like Albert Steptoe. when are we going to sign a central defend who is any good. We've all been saying we need one all summer.

Well done Andy Ritchie for throwing 4 strikers on at the end. It nearly paid off. I can forgive him much because he tried to get a result.

Colgan didn't have a bad game. Was not to blame for either goal and didn't look nearly as bad as he has done in previous matches. not as good as flinders, but not as bad as my recolection from last season.

Scnuthorpe should be ashamed of their ground. It is *****. Why they are allowed to sell full price tickets when I have got a foot wide girder six inches from my nose is beyond me. All ticket match and people had to stand up because there weren't enough seats and the police were called for one bloke who wouldn't sit down, but the stewards wouldn't show him to his seat!!!

All in all we have to improve our defence and take our chances in front of goal. If we can do that we don't have any problems.

 

Ohhh if that's after you calmed down, you must have been livid last night !!!!!

 

agree with everything you say including the ***** ground but, and perhaps a message for Shepherd, Scnuthorp do not charge parking fees for the disabled.(H)

 

Future Mrs M1 who only really goes on the odd Tuesday night kept trying to make me feel better....

"never mind dear there's always Saturday"," Barnsley were the better team and should have won" "it's early in the season and this result doesn't really matter" etc etc needless to say she didn't help matters, but I had to keep a lid on it given the impending wedding!!:-|

 

Disabled Parking

As those that went know we were told to turn right and walk all the way round the ground, through all the Scnuthorpe fans to get back to our cars rather than the 5 yards if we had turned left.

Some old geyser last night was on two sticks. He'd come out early to get to his car without being jostled by the crowd. He had tried to get the police to make an exception and let him through but told by the police that he was too much of a risk and had to walk all the way round and if he had a problem to take it up with the club.

When he got to the players entrance he had a right barney with the steward who told him that it was "nowt to do with the club mate, take it up with the police" The old boy nearly bust a blood vessel in his protestations.

The police really were O.T.T. last night. Was the return of Paul Hayes such a tinderbox situation? I think they could have let a bloke with two sticks through the police cordon at least.

 

RE: Disabled Parking

I agree and it's an unfortunate situation,except I found myself in the same position and went to the police at the gate . He basically told me to piss off but then I informed him of my disability and that If he did'nt let me through they could either arrest me or carry me around the ground . He let me through. clever *******.ff

 

I've had 25 years of 'it's only a game' IS IT ******** !!!!!(furious)

 

And then she said.....

Well Dad's side (Washday) drew so why don't you be happy for him instead!!! AAAAAAAAAERRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH!

 

RE: Disabled Parking

That happned to A Darlington fan that I work with, He Dad has got lung cancer and has been given a max 12 mtths to live and the ***** made him walk all of the way round too.

 

There's still time to

call the wedding off mate !! (Unless she disowns her dad)ff

 

I've got my 3 nephews primed

To chant Dee Daah during his speech!

And as you can tell she's not really the footballing type, so i can't hold her dubious parentage against her.

 

Spot on, I was sat with the Scunny supporters to the left of the reds fans.

THE message has to be and we all know (forget Reid coming back for a moment)
WE NEED A CENTRE HALF
WE NEED A CENTRE HALF
WE NEED A CENTRE HALF
This will complement Reid when hedoes gets back, but if you add Carbon to Vaughan to Kay you still dont get a decentre half!

 

well done Ritchie?????????????????

he wants f***ing sacking after last nite. 4 forwards? Yeah, and FA balance to the team and Hayes and Nads just getting in each other's way. Good job Scunny are relegation fodder, anyone else woulda picked us off like the cluelessly directed bunch of imbeciles we were (are).

Yeah stick all yer forwards on. Just like what any 7 year old would have suggested.

 

Any seven year old and Mssrs. Ferguson and Venger.

Or would you prefer Mr. Harts philosophy that he was right at the start and change nothing unless forced to?

Some people are never happy.
