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.
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!
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...
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.
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...
That's ridiculous. Grimsby are taking the piss out of their loyal away support there. A ticket to Manny is hardly a ticket to a big cup game, so what's with the blackmail?
Personally I'd boycott the cup game and the league trip to Field Mill.
Don't panic sweetheart, we'll comfortably finish above Lincoln. And I'd take a place below a very good Luton team - because they'll go up. However, we have enough to finish higher than them.
Nobody ever won or lost anything in August.
Was a very good game. I reckon that we shaded it, however, Luton showed a lot of character to rescue a point and were the stronger side at the end - we were spent after giving it everything.
An entertaining, value-for-money spectacle from two promotion contenders.
"Massive club for this level"
The phrase that cheers every former FL fan when the club signs its latest star (who nobody's ever heard of)....
....until about the third season of hearing it and you think: "oh just f**k off shite boy from Kings Lynn Town."
Kane Hemming is an immense signing! -
Although I'd never heard of him, hadn't a clue that he existed, had to just Google his name and order my 'Hemming' branded third kit jersey.
As good as champions now. Off for a jog and daydream about open top buses. hashtagboom
