Newport vs Mansfield, play-off semi final

[TheEndIsNigh]

Newport are a really good, hard working League 2 side where every player knows exactly what he’s supposed to be doing.

I’d fancy them in the final.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

Away from my anger at DF - fantastic effort from Flynn, the Newport players and fans. Fully deserved and hope they enjoy the trip to London/get promoted - the job Flynn has done is not spoken highly enough.

Forestieri's alleged racist abuse of Pearce in preseason led to a brawl. It was taken to court but wasn't upheld (although the judge said he felt it unlikely Pearce had misheard him).

Ah okay that's clear that up. Still a bit weird for them to hold such a grudge a year later when there's no established rivalry before that.

No idea what the fall out is going to be, interesting summer coming up.

We are pretty much universally disliked, but one or two clubs fan base hate us even more *cough, Lincoln*

What's with all the Sheffield Wednesday fans on Twitter enjoying Mansfield being out of the playoffs? Is there some weird Sheffield Wednesday-Mansfield rivalry that nobody knows about?

Our fans are holding some weird beef with Mansfield because there was a brawl in pre season, hardly a brawl a few punches were thrown. For some reason our fans think our players were all sweet and innocent in the whole situation which is clearly not true, they were even wanting your lot to beat them last week ffs.

 

[GodsGift]

Impressive decorum shown by Monsieur Cowley when he must have been dying to burst out laughing.

In fairness it was a storm in a teacup.

Main thing I took away (excluding the game) was how bad the commentary was - the 5th tier currently have much better coverage, plus the bonus of commentators that know a bit more about the players and sides involved. It's a complete joke how bad Sky's coverage of Leagues 1 and 2 is, commentators were clueless.

Are you referring to just this forum or football in general ?

Hate is such a strong word , unlike blame.

 

[Plumbob]

What does Cowley mean when he says Jamille Matt is a reference point for Newport?

I’d honestly never heard that term in football.

Target man.
Unlucky Stags, maybe next season if you can outspend Gary and the boys.

The debate on whether David the choker remains in his job will rumble on

Earlier on today they advertised our match tomorrow night as a first leg tie, then stated the game was being played at Tranmere. Lackadaisical, basic errors that confirm they could not give a toss about football below the PL.

They really should give the League One and Two rights to another channel. What is in it for them anyway ?

Why’s that?

It's because it's just a sideshow to real football for them. Love him or loathe him, I'd bet that Danny Cowley knew every single player in both squads. Shame other professional people can't be bothered to do their research

Go on any social media post regarding Mansfield, any platform - and it’s full of Lincoln fans giving it big ‘un. I don’t know why either!

I didn’t think the coverage was too bad, and though it hurts to say, Cowley’s a great analyst.

The mysteriously enthusiastic biggin up of CJ Hamilton was good, ensuring that he played absolute gash.

 

[AdamStag]

Least we get to play sides like Grimsby

 

[Back in the DHSS]

Where’s Spanishstag, has he gone on holiday with Devon Lad?

 

[darren gregory]

Horrible way to lose after 48 games.
Wonder why play offs are one of the only knockout games where away goals are irrelevant ?
Commiserations to Mansfield and a great effort by Newport

 

[Conker]

If anybody really wants a laugh at Mansfield expense, I fully recommend Stagsnet right now.

 

[County1]

If I’ve given it big before the game you’ve got to be man enough to show up when things don’t go your way (like that exeter fan)

Fair play to Newport, better for the game by a mile and should have been out of sight, them winning on penalties was gutting, but on the value of the game, deserved.

Mansfield did what they always do under flitcroft. They choked, utter crap. Him standing there like a fucking demented seal clapping away failing again was a tragic sight.

I actually thought for once - given one last chance after several months of choking and not showing up the players and the manger would turn up, did they? Did they fuck.

Newport have got a decent side and a good manager, they came up with us and whoever they play I wish them and their fans the very best of luck in the playoff final.

Appreciate that. Takes a lot. Heart stopping stuff to watch. Good luck for next season. Two proper clubs, we may meet again next season, but if not see you the season after in League One.

 

[Amber Nectar]

Newport deserved it the win, we haven't been the same for the last few months.

Well done 'port, will be cheering you on in the final.

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

I hope so

 

[AdamStag]

Let’s hope he doesn’t come back. Made a tit out of himself on stagsnet as well.

But it's 'good hate' according to bargain stag abroad, I hope that consoles him and he doesn't jump in the campsite pool after one to many.

Talking of Sky’s lack of knowledge regarding lower league football, yesterday they reported Salford as gaining promotion alongside champions Orient and runners up Solihull Moors.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

He’s been a twit on here and made a complete fool of himself all season and nobody really tried to stop him. It’s great

No doubt he’ll post in the Non League forum when it all kicks off again in August.

Ok he got it badly badly and openly wrong both this season and last about his own side. But at least he nailed it about my club, stated earlier than anyone that he thought we would go down. Of course he got it right about Notts and wrong about the Stags.

I wonder if he cried yesterday?
