National League Match Thread

[CrazyImp]

If anybody finds a set of wheels can they please return them to us asap, they were last seen falling off at haig avenue and have been missing since.

Latest rumour is they were eaten by a portly manager

Not the easiest game next at unbeaten at home York either...

 

[JaredSUFC]

Not sure where you're getting this from.

Being in line with the incident when it happened.

On the video below, from 24 to 26 seconds in it's highly dubious at best whether your guy was being played onside. Edit - on 21 seconds as the ball is being played it looks obvious that he's behind the last man. It didn't help that the Lino was 2 or 3 paces (at best) behind play. It doesn't excuse our collective stupidity in not playing to the whistle

 

[Sparrow]

You're merely an 'unpopular' part-timer that has been reffed out by the National League. I wouldn't dwell on it too much as you'll soon be getting reffed out again just like the rest of us.

I've noticed this, some of the things which people (legitimately) call us out for in terms of cynical play you can easily say their team also does. But we used to be like that to small fry in the Isthmian league like Aveley, Harrow and Kingstonian, so swings and roundabouts.

(And to clarify I'm not saying the officials have cost us anything this season, our own naivety has)

Yeah, he was a yard onside and you lot had the perfect view to see that. Presumably your fans were responding to your keeper and defender's hopeful claims. I was a bit confused why your players were surrounding the ref at the end of the game, he was actually pretty fair and alright for non league, but it must have been that.

 

[Boz]

Lincoln really were nothing special. We were just worse. Much, much worse.

Brabin HAS to go. We're not going up until he does.

Not the easiest game next at unbeaten at home York either...

Totally agree regarding Brabin, with some ill-judged post-match remarks about Norwood too. I can't see us winning either of our next two which are aways; York and Sutton. If losing at York is what it takes to see him gone, I'd live with that.

Before the game with Lincoln my view was that we had the better players and the Imps the better manager. Not so sure about the former now. I don't think there are any stand-out sides in this league; Forest Green good in attack but defensively shaky. The over-rated thug Bennett was lucky to avoid being sent off yesterday again. Dagenham my title tip seem to blow hot and cold. All to play for, which is why Rovers need a decent manager pronto.

That video clearly shows him onside, there's no "incident" to be had. Or am I being whooshed here....?

I just watched it again (glutton for pain) if you freeze the video at 23 seconds you may notice the big offside-y like thing.

I didn't think the ref was bad (Amankwah was lucky to stay on at the end) but the lino on our side was poor. Couldn't keep up with play and made frequent bad calls. And it would be nice if someone could operate an electronic subs board.

 

[Mr Scooty]

Why are you freezing the video at 23 seconds dafty pants?

Rewind to 22.

That electronic subs board usage was a bit amateurish and amusing yeah.

This freeze frame? 100% onside.

Arguing with Sutton United fans, this is what we've become.

Mate, you've been a non-league club for over 8 years, time to accept the inevitable

 

[Solihull Mooron]

No, booing because of what is on offer on the pitch (you can't call it football). We have a goalkeeper and a defence - that's it. We are simply dreadful to watch - it makes Brian Little's tenure seem Barcelona-esque. You expect players to be limited in ability, being at this level, but a lack of passion, fight and failing to do even simple things is un-defendable.

What do you expect? You're a supporter owned club and you don't your own stadium. You should be happy with the 3 points.

 

[Mr Scooty]

fucking hell

While we are unbeaten at home, the only side we've played that looked half decent was Macclesfield. We have some key players out and no-one on our forum seems to think we're getting anything on Tuesday night. We've also got a grand total of one point away, which suggests that we just aren't very good.

How's Scott Fenwick doing?

 

[wilsontown]

Fenwick has been astoundingly poor to be honest. Offers almost nothing and is behind a half-fit Richard Brodie in the pecking order. I don't think it helps that we often try to play him up front on his own which I don't think suits his game at all.

Scored a decent goal against a wretched and beaten Solihull side, and that's about it.

 

[EnglishRed]

fucking hell

Forget it Scooty, it's Chinatown.

Two solid mid table National League clubs. Both capable of troubling the big boys of this division on a good day.

 

[Leo]

Liked to have seen the Dover v FGR game but will have to make do with the highlights of the weekend's goals. Forgot it was on Sunday night but repeated 12.30 tomorrow so I'll catch that.

Cheers my man.....

 

[DontBringBertie]

Was the Dover v FGR game on the same time as Celtic V Rangers and Yanited v City? Would love to have seen the BT Sport viewing figures. Watching the highlights show last night - did the commentator need to say 'at Crabble' every time something happened?

Mentioned it only 500 times on the highlights alone, god knows how many times during the full match.

Thought that myself, sounded really naff. Dover fans are very particular about the name of the place though in my experience.

The PA announcer did said something about the name of the ground being Crabble Athletic Ground before kick-off, maybe they'd been disagreeing with BT's pundits so the latter kept banging on to make their point or to show they'd heard - not sure if missing off the athletic bit is a no-no.

 

[JaredSUFC]

Maybe people like saying the word Crabble?

 

[Imp in Branston]

was an entertaining game for the very meagre crowd.

Celtic v Gers....noon KO. Dover v FGR.....12.15 KO. United v City......12.30 KO. I'd have liked to have watched all three in full but the timings fucked that up so it was the Gers game for me.

 

[Bigluke]

It's just that so many people in Kent cant spell, do you not realise how many points that is worth at least.......10 or eleven! lol
