Yes even by Cooper-era FGR standards the performance that day was a bit too much. Our keeper (Jojo Wollacott) was taking the piss at one end of the pitch (or rather, across one whole half of the pitch) and the elder of the Mills brothers doing similarly wherever he could.
And here we are...
Our run-in is indeed horrendous. I'm not convinced we'll make the great escape, but it's looking more possible than it has now for quite some time. Having a proper manager has made such a big difference.
Osadebe has also been a great signing so far. Yet all the Bradford City fans said he was...
We're not gonna beat Tranmere are we....? That wonderful evening in Barrow notwithstanding, we just don't know exactly we're doing at the moment, and it's gonna take time to sort that out.... not saying it will be a walkover but I am pessimistic about our chances
Good riddance to the entire lot of this useless shower: if this really was in part Cotterill's doing, the song about "super Stevie" is even more to the point than it was already. Although I think the threat of imminent relegation from the EFL, which had been so hard won (and, erm, a bit...
All I'm saying to that, from what is now a rainy Barrow, is YEEEEEEEEEEESSSSS!!!!
Entertaining game, correct result, good tactics from our manager, skill from (most of) our players (Charlie McCann cough cough). The new away stand at Holker Street (if you avoid all the pillars, which when there...
I'm always a bit sceptical about players returning - too much of "they were with us on the way up in their career, now they're with us on their way down"> And/or indeed our way down...
Given Doidgy's role is getting up promoted into the EFL, there can only be good feelings towards him. And...
Colchester are the one team this season we've played who made us look good....almost.....even.
That was then but this is now.
In theory both sides should be benefitting from a new manager bounce. The great weight lifted by not having Troy Deeney hanging around must be an enormous relief for our...
This is the best news at FGR for a long time. I fear it's come a little too late (not least in transfer window terms) to save us from the drop, but.... At last we have a sensible capable proven manager instead of Vince alternating between his risky gamble thing (which did pay off in Rob Edwards'...
Imagine our players will feel liberated by not having a c*** who abuses them in charge when they get to Priestfield. Don't want to get carried away but they might even score more than one goal
For the full Doncaster Rovers 97/98 effect all we need now is for one of Vince's mates in the Palestinian (non-) embassy to try and burn the ground down. What a fucking bad joke we have become.
The Altrincham grudge against Rochdale is well founded, although maybe they would do better to direct latent anger towards I think it was Grimsby and Luton whose representatives were supposed to vote for their election to the FL (in 1980 or thereabouts) but for various reasons didn't make it to...
In the fanzone I was chatting with a few neutrals (I should emphasize, not FGR fans either) who were going in with Harrogate, it wasn't meant to imply they were anti-Harrogate.
By any measure they were in the right end....
No attendance announced at the game, but the club statistician has...
My understanding (right or wrong) is that new CEO is Mr Eco-friendly and consequently travels between the UK and NZ by boat, not plane. So is he doing any work on the way, and what sort?
Honestly the whole situation is a tragedy in its way: it could make an awful but engaging documentary about...
Last time you played us at home (final home match of the season, "festival of football", largest home crowd of the season by a long way, with our lot exceptionally in all four stands) you walloped us, and we didn't turn up at all. I suspect that we will at least try to turn up tomorrow, but...
If the Colchester managerial appointment goes to plan (and who knows it can be a crazy club), they will presumably be out of this debate within a couple of months. Hopefully that steps up the chances that Salford will be deeper in it....
