Don't tell 'em Pike!

Sounds like one of the Notts County players is not a fan of one of their more prominent content providers.

That's great publicity for the lad in social media, shines the spotlight on him and gets him plenty of clicks.

Last time I checked you don't have to had stepped in the ring to comment on world class boxing.

Unsurprisingly due to our impressive start to the season Rawlinson is really the only player that is regularly getting any shit on the message boards and on social media platforms. That's because he's been the weak link, no two ways about it he's been easy to exploit in our system at this level.

During October when out form will naturally dip, it should be spread out a little in the eyes of the regular moaning critics who haven't stepped on a football field for circa 30+ years.

Looks like their players are as RATTLED as their fans.

Wouldn't you be we just conceded 3 in a game with an unconvincing defensive display

Bad look for the Notts County player having a pop at that twitter account tbh. If he can't hack the odd League 2 know it all, he wouldn't hack it at a higher level if he's bothering to immerse himself in Twitter stuff.

 

[JJ1990]

Just a bizarre tweet all round. I like Tom's stuff overall and what he brings to the space. Can be a bit too stats orientated(how much does he watch the players he makes judgements on for example) and overly positive(every signing for every team in the summer was a good one), but he seems like a decent dude on the whole.

What Rawlinson felt he needed to criticise him over a boxing opinion he wasn't even tagged in was bizarre. Had a few drinks maybe? Didn't like some of Tom's criticism of his performances? Weird.

 

[TrinidadsNumberOne]

Didn't Vale get rid of Rawlinson when they realised he was the weak link in a defence that almost saw them get relegated out the Football League?

I'm not sure it's the Twitter stuff preventing that to be fair. Connell is fine as a backup, not a great option but not terrible.

It was his birthday I think, definitely been out on the beers and swiftly deleted it the next morning haha.

I do like Rawlo, though. He was just a clogger for the most part when we signed him but has managed to improve his game enough that he does a job for us as a ball-playing defender, which you've got to respect. He is slow as fuck though.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I’m the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo

Tom made a point about Joe Joyce not looking prepared for his match on Saturday and his style maybe catching up with him. Rawlinson said something about him having an opinion on Football AND boxing and told him to "stay in your lane", aka don't tweet about Boxing. Just silly and unnecessary.

Presume he means ‘guerilla

Sounds like Yeovil’s chairman that.

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Dunno, it must be tough mentally for a reconstructed non league clogger like Rawlo to be surrounded by what the young people describe as ballers like Jones, McGoldrick, Crowley and Langstaff. Basically he’s the only one who’s taken any sort of stick this season, probably rightfully so.

Of all the people to have a go at, launching a pissed up tirade at someone as innocuous as Tom Williams is quite amusing, or a bit tragic, depending on your point of view.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

That's exactly my view of it as well. In an old Notts side is would be absolutely beloved, puts his head in where others wouldn't put their foot, fully committed, maximum effort but turns like a tractor and never fully comfortably with the ball especially when playing like we do. He doesn't want to be in possession of the ball.

Unfortunately for Rawlo he's a victim of the new Notts' success. We are struggling for things to moan about currently which doesn't sit well with football fans of any club bar Man City of course.

Definitely a strange target, bit tragic indeed but mountain out of a molehill. We've seen worse on twitter

Bloody ell Chief, he only asked what the deleted tweet said, no need for all that.

I guess it's going to be on here eventually so here it is. Our MD left us suddenly at the beginning of the month and the tone of the club statement led us to believe that there was more to come.

Link from the Evening Standard but The Times (behind a paywall) covers it in a lot more detail. What a mess.

AFC Wimbledon ‘promptly resolve’ issue amid Macklin accusations

AFC Wimbledon say they moved to "promptly resolve" a reported incident of their former managing director making sexist and abusive comments about a female co-worker.

Given what occurred this has to be implemented. Above all, I don't get why parents allowed their kids to behave the way they did. Mine would have been grounded for months. Luckily they knew how to behave.

oops!

 

[Master D]

You worry if their owners get bored.

 

[Indian Dan]

Applies to most clubs

 

[Conker]

The club is probably running at an all time high revenue wise now considering record season tickets, but like the majority of clubs at this level we have external funding via the owners. Been running at a 50k loss for the past few years now I think which is lower than many, except the other year when we had that in profit. I don’t see the big worry, nothing unexpected here.

Does bug me we do not publish full accounts mind.
