Walsall suddenly look all over the place at the back, second goal coming I reckon.

Haha, yeah me too. Not got a clue about the game as apparently your commentators are a couple of biased wind up merchants. No idea how accurate this is.
Got the opportunity to listen to a variety of other teams' commentaries last season on iFollow, especially when away commentators weren't allowed to travel.

There are definitely far far worse in this division and not many who I'd say were better. Some were just incredibly biased barely even acknowledging the away team, a few not biased or enthused enough as if they'd been asked to cover a local lower league side they knew nothing about, and others just didn't know what they were talking about.

Morecambe's were pretty entertaining even though they only spent about 10 of the 90 talking about the game, and half of that was innuendos about our long throws.

Phillips and Lumsdon did tone down their partisanship knowing that away fans were having to rely on them too but now they're back to their best lol.

Football fans do tend to see games through their own Rose tinted specs and I'm not watching so can't comment. One thing I have noticed was thay your commentators were slagging off our centre back and of course he hit the equaliser.

We spent about five seasons trying and failing to play the ball out from the back so they have a bit of a bias against ball playing defenders.

Always like to check opposition forums during the game for diversity's sake. Hope Swindon get their commentary sorted soon so I can start reading the Robins fans' views on the game rather than their views on our commentary.
Must be the same Carlisle commentators on iFollow as last season :lol:. They were genuinely offended at the audacity of County turning up top of the league and attempting to pass the ball out from the back.

Can't remember that commentary but it will have been them and if you passed the ball out from the back then they'll certainly have identified your defenders as shaky and there to be gotten at.

2-1 Carlisle now, more poor defending from a long throw.

Apparently the way we play is 'fake football' whatever on earth that is!!

They've just had another go at Critchlow. They also love talking about the mood of the opposition fans and whether we can make them turn negative and get on their teams backs. Understandably that rubs up any oppo fans that might be listening.

Manny pulled down Ebou, Stevens tucks away the pen. 3-0.

Haha, yeah I see that on our forum. They are really getting under the skin. I guess the scoreline doesn't help!

One cleared off the line on the stroke of half time. Should be 0-2 to the Cobblers, hope we don’t come to rue that miss.

Because it's us our one fit striker has gone off injured and we are playing with a sub par winger up front.

Awful first half as usual, would be a miracle if we managed even a shot that slightly tested the keeper.

If we had a half decent forward we’d be winning this with ease. We are so fucking wasteful, we even tried our best to waste the second goal. Great finish for the first goal.
Swindon’s goal however was diabolical from our point of view. Their player had half the box worth of space to waltz in and tap home.

Need to take any more chances we get, can’t keep wasting or we’ll flog this

Mansfield deservedly in the lead at half time, we both gifted each other a goal then we scored a good second.

We are getting outshithoused and the referee isn’t doing anything about the constant grabbing of Oli Hawkins who Newport are struggling to handle him.

Solid first half at Vale. Both teams playing reasonable football but neither showing much composure in the final third. Both teams have had chances to take the lead, but so far it's a deadlock. Hard to see where goals are coming from in all honesty.

We’ve pretty much dominated here at Bradford but as we have no proper #9 it’s meaningless.

They created nothing, but a pot shot on the edge of the box has deflected in. Classic Oldham.

Close game, we’ve hit the bar and had a couple of good openings, they’ve got into a couple of decent positions…

Feels as though both sides are good up until they get in front of goal.

1-1 at our place. All to play for in the second half. Circumstances dictate I can't go to the games or follow the radio coverage for the next few games so have no idea who's had the better of it.

Who said that?

I think you give away possession in your own third a bit too much which could be avoided, if that’s what the comment means.

Decent game so far, 1-1, we started like a team still on the bus but have looked a lot livelier since, we've knocked some decent balls in the box but haven't really threatened the keeper that much, Sterry is having a lot of joy in this game, there'll be more goals in this, either way.

I'm not sure, just read it on our forum.

We're very disjointed at the moment which is to be expected. If we can nick a point here it would be lovely as it sounds like Carlisle have our number based on the first half.

You started well without really threatening and are seeing plenty of the ball, but we’ve created the better openings. We’re just really shit at doing anything with these openings.

Still think you’ll get at least another goal which could turn the game. I expect we’ll get another chance as well, it’s just a case of whether we can take it or waste it.
