Can we have a neutrals opinion on the ref please?

Tbf we faced them twice last season (altho only Jatta once), and you also had Langstaff, and we won both times. Of course you would have been stronger with them, but it's nothing we haven't dealt with before. Tbh, I wish they were all available, much prefer to face a full strength team and a...

On the whole refs don't actually ruin games, fans just use them as an excuse. This guy we've got on Monday made an horrendous error away at Salford last season, but that incident aside he was fine. It just happened to be that decision changed the game. I'm sure he knows he fucked up, and he...

Shakespeare himself wouldn't have thought of that script.

Good question. I think it was perhaps worse. At one point he nearly dropped the ball into his net after it very gently looped straight at him.

The problem was, he dropped the ball numerous times whilst trying to catch it, so his confidence was shot. Hence the punch. I can't get over how bad he was. Kind of feel sorry for him, he must have been so embarrassed. No idea how he came through the England youth setup.

Crellin putting in the worst performance in the history of professional sports made it a good ending.

Accrington keeper one of the worst I've ever seen.

He puts on as many restrictions as he can in order to justify officers coming in on overtime. The vast majority of officers on a match day are getting paid overtime, it's just the ones with the blue trim that are dedicated Football Police. **EDIT** I don't blame those individual officers for...

Agreed, I don't think the inflated fee thing is correct, apart from maybe Luke Varney. I think we're now starting to find a nice balance with the academy. It's taken a while to adust to the new model that was brought in solely to benefit Premier League teams, but we now seem to be producing...

I've watched the alleged stamp back. I'm not going to get into an argument over it, but there's no way in a million years Sanders will get a retrospective ban.

The prosecution rests.

Yup, there's still some good pubs fairly close to the ground, but away fans don't really know about them. The pubs around the market hall are really good, but not directly outside the train station like away fans expect.

Hang on mate, it's more than that. Hemmings, Thibaut, Knight Lebel and Thomas not available (3 probable starters). Lankester, Long and Powell not fit to start (2 certain starters). We were significantly weakened as well.

Not to mention it was completely out of character with the refereeing performance in general! Barring the 1st ten mins when he clamped down, he actually let a lot go. Awful decision, also inconsistent with how he reffed the game.

Fair. It was an awful decision. Nobody appealed for it. There was disbelief around me when it was given. Quite a bit of laughter as well.

Tbf the away end isn't fit for purpose any more. I believe the club want to upgrade it, just can't afford it. And the Crewe away day in general isn't what it used to be, with most of the pubs around the ground now closed. Which is a real shame for away supporters. Not so bad for us, we can go...

Reasonable post. But comments like 'ugly fans shit ground' (to go with the nonce comments last week) are always going to get fans backs up.

2 away on international duty, 3 on the bench just returning from injury who probably would start if fit, and Hemmings out long term. But nope, Notts were the only team with injury issues today. **Edit. Forgot about Thomas!**

Reasonable last paragraph. Definitely not bitter. As I say, Football fans are hilarious. So blinkered. And I wouldn't have it any other way, we're all the same.
