I think the fact that it's Marine might change things, they had their big TV game in January. If Atherton had won, your game would have been a certainty.
Frustrating that. Didn't turn up first half, a fair amount of hoofball as well, which isn't how we play. Two sucker punches early in the second half, and that was that, I thought we were in for a good old-fashioned National League pasting.
The sending off was a turning point, and I genuinely...
6 games between the 2 sides, Alty won 2, 3 draws, 1 big Grimsby win.
Very much looking forward to it, always a pleasantly boisterous atmosphere when Grimsby come.
I see Altrincham Phil Parkinson was named manager of the week by the Non League Paper, who marked the award by using a photo of Wrexham Phil Parkinson. Trolling or standard incompetence / tinpottery?
Slightly odd game this evening. KL looked very slick and were on top much of the first half and at the start of the second. They made 2 substitutions at half time, which I thought was a bit of a red flag. When the 2nd went in, they collapsed in a heap really, we should have scored more. Their...
He took a few games to get going for us when he first signed. I know he hasn't just signed for you, but he may as well have, given all the delays and cancellations etc. Good player, I think he needs to be the top dog though. Whether he is at Fylde I don't know.
I watched that game again last night, and noticed that during the melee leading to Michael Rankine's "goal", a Grimsby defender pulled a real Chiellini on one of our players, so what go around come around and all that.
The worst I can recall was because of weakness rather than just being plain wrong. It was an FA cup game in 2015 against Chester. We were awarded a penalty, and I'm fairly sure the ball actually got as far as the penalty spot before the Chester players effectively just argued him into changing...
Hahaha I remember that game very well, you battered us. Agree, it was a shocker, and our second was the softest goal I've ever seen. Finished way past 10pm as well after Tom Marshall broke his ankle. I remember walking to the car listening to the disbelief in the voices of the Grimsby fans.
