It was a very typical Nottinghamshire derby. Notts huffed and puffed, Stags outbattled them and took their chances. It was a straightforward victory in the end and went like most have in recent years. Have to say that I anticipated much more from County but at no point did I feel like they...

We should crowdfund for a lifesized statute of him on Quarry Lane, made out of donuts. Visiting fans could pay it homage with a sneer and a shaking fist.

He's a fuckwit who talks shite and behaves ridiculously but he upsets easily offended opposition fans so that's good enough for me.

I've been following a lower league team regularly since the early eighties, the condition is called Cautiousnuttous - the minute you start enjoying following your club WHAMMO, a polished knee straight in the pyrus nivalis!

1-0 either way. We've rode our luck in the last fortnight, if we aren't on it that luck will possibly run out.

Regarding the penalty, from the Tv angle it looked harsh. From mine in the upper White went over a stray leg. Probably a mix of clumsiness from the Cambridge player and cuteness from White but there was little arguing from the defending team. It was undoubtedly the turning point of the game...

I think Cambridge can feel somewhat aggrieved to have not got something out of the game, however, they certainly didn't dominate it, it was a low quality affair where neither side did enough to argue that they deserved the points. The penalty also looked nailed on to me. I think U's will pose...

Am I on my own thinking it's a bit early for promotion/relegation threads? It's still September with well over 100pts to play for.

I'm very sceptical about whether we'd get anywhere near that current Lincoln figure, if we mirrored their year. You have to take in to account the product. Even though I suspect that Lincoln haven't been particularly pretty, they were pretty much top of the Conference for the entire season...

It's been a long argued subject at Mansfield. The guy has performed wonders at the club, however, the Achilles heel of his tenure is undoubtedly the abject failure of trying to target the next generation. The fans keep knocking but the club ain't listening, unfortunately.

Not really: small town in a region of poverty, with amongst the highest prices to watch football in the bottom division, isn't the most healthy of combinations.

And it's that fact that really grinds county fans gears: struggling against the heathen inbreds from the wastelands

You've certainly been waiting long enough, that's a fact. Perhaps you'll get your day in the sun finally,....perhaps you won't.

Have you ever been to Lincoln? It's not remotely comparable with large city's like Bristol, Plymouth and Portsmouth. And they've gone from being down and out to filling their stadium within less than a year. Anyone who doesn't find it impressive are either in denial or just mard-arses that...

The last time I went to Sincil Bank was a cold Tuesday night in the Conference. It was a drab local derby and the crowd was a pitiful 2734, with 1100 Mansfield fans (I'm sure if it was on a Saturday there could quite easily have been more visitors than home fans). I vividly remember commenting...
