    Mansfield v Stevenage

    There's a real beauty about visiting Field Mill. You can sit there is gorgeous isolation, watching the gunk that appears out on the pitch, though in a perfect realisation that it's largely been this way for 119 years. And as the floodlights come on and autumn draws ever in, you can leave the...

    FA Cup Round One Draw

    I'll get it in before the hangdog pack of Staglets get all manic depressive on our ass, Stags at home to the early pace-setters - course we can win it....... .......and then lose 0-4 at home to Merstham. Boo! Murray Out!!

    What is your worst ever day supporting your team?

    The thing with the Conference is that we all support small clubs, some of which have enjoyed more lofty times in the past than others but for the majority of more recent decades we've all bounced around the lower divisions, bemoaning our lot and suffering the pains that go with following...

    What is your worst ever day supporting your team?

    This thread will definitely be determined by whether your club has 'suffered the depths' or not. As fans of fellow Conference scarred clubs will understand, you have never felt that sheer hollowness of despair regarding your football club until you have witnessed the horror of taking a beating...

    The real East Midlands derby

    Now I don't think that we were that lucky. Notts completely dominated the first 25 mins - half of the Sky highlights package is dedicated to it and Stags fans wouldn't have had any complaint to see the game gone after that period. However, we got stronger as the half wore on and second half I...

    The real East Midlands derby

    A far better Notts side to last season's effort. Notts much the better for first half hour, Stags much the better the second half. The Green and Henderson substitutions making the difference, though a poor quality affair. I expect both sides to finish top half, though wouldn't dare predict...

    The real East Midlands derby

    0-0 non-event that they'll be talking about for minutes.

    Railwaymen v Stags

    I don't ever have a problem with differing opinions - on the contary, I agree with almost everyone else in that the last month hasn't been close to being good enough. My problem is with reading the same criticisms in almost every post and I prefer to not continually repeat myself and bug people.

    Railwaymen v Stags

    You know what Adam, you're becoming incredibly dull with your eat, sleep, rattle on in the same manner, repeat. I'd be hiding any non-blunt instrument in your place pal because you've gone from bordering on obsessive to rambling wreck. We're going through a rough patch but we still have decent...

    Stags vs mariners

    They'll be bouncers on the door of The Talbot pal, so either ditch the colours or find somewhere else - There's several pubs coming in to town from the A46 route, through Rainworth: Golden Eagle, Widecombe Fair, Oak Tree, Reindeer, Brown Cow, Kings Arms - all should be fine for away supporters...

    Stags vs mariners

    The thing is with visits to Mansfield, the town centre is right on the doorstep of the ground, so there's plenty of boozers within earshot of Field Mill, if you were willing to venture in to the scruffy bowels of town. However, the daft 12:15 kick off time is likely to scupper any away fans and...

    Stags vs mariners

    My two favourite things in the universe are: 1) Reading comments of forever morose fellow Stags fans. 2) Driving rusty 9" nails through my ballbag in to a wet cobbled street. 1-0 Stags.

    Checkafraud Trophy - Attendance / Results watch

    Agreed. If you don't go to every single away game (4 or 5 a season just doesn't cut the loyalty mustard) then you just ain't entitled to an opinion....yet many of these mega-fans will show zero integrity by welcoming bullshit such as the EFL Checkatrade Trophy.

    Checkafraud Trophy - Attendance / Results watch

    Let's face it, we all seem to have a strange core support who would sell their soul to the devil's Aunt Maude to see their shit level football club play in a meaningless kickabout amongst the stiffs. I hope the moral fibreless lot spill their Bovril's down the groin of their white jeans.

    Mansfield vs Barnet sponsored by Mansfields pre-season tour of Malta!

    Here's a tip for any of the amber and royal persuasion for future reference, leave your brain at home; clearly the team do, as they just don't seem to have any wits about them to muster anything too meaningful during two forty-five minute periods. Despite both sides barely creating a worthwhile...

    Scunny do like to chuck around the dollar don't they? Be interested to know what kind of cash they've spent on transfers/wages over the last few years.

    Stags vs Moose (Mansfield vs Cambridge)

    Cambridge were the better side in a woeful game. Can't recall a single shot on target from either side. As bad as anything the home fans have seen (attacking wise) at home for a while. U's midfield was on top for almost the entire game, however, we never really looked like conceding. If I could...

    Battle of the heavyweights. Lorient v Stags

    BUT you're missing the most important stat of all - he'd have run a lot and given 100%! Ollie just isn't very good; certainly nowhere near good enough for Orient. A lucky boy to be a Football League player for another season; he'll be Conference next year where he'll fare okay.

    Battle of the heavyweights. Lorient v Stags

    Already achieved more in about 60 minutes than the appalling Palmer did in 2 years. That drip was backed to the hilt by Stags fans, despite being dreadful, and mopes around with a slapped arse face like we ought to be grateful for his efforts. Effort is all he gave the club. I give effort every...
