Some on the Shrimpers forum took it badly, apparently we are a bunch of cheating cloggers who are masters at the dark arts of the game, funny I only remember their player getting sent off. Come on guys you got beat by a better team on the night try a little humility for a change.

Bound to be some I suppose. Be interesting to hear from our recent Shrimpers fans on Bru to hear what they thought. Away at Sea Fanzine’s view was fair, measured and respectful, which received a lot of flak from fellow fans. Similar at most clubs I reckon.

WG, Do you know remember when Morris went off the boil for a long spell, started getting hassle from the DRE, and spat his dummy out? Hurst was a far more consistent.

[Deereyme66]

Don’t share Wondergoals thinking about Dale suffering from a hangover. Tend to agree with Butler: ‘a wounded beast can be a dangerous beast’. Personally think they’ll be up and at it to right some perceived wrongs and give their fans something to cheer about. That prat McNulty will have them fired up too. Predict a very different game with them on the front foot looking for the first goal. That said, we can beat any of them playing like last night.

Butler approach in the run in paying dividends. Hats off to him getting it right.

I’m very relieved to be wrong! Best performance for a long time. Ran their legs off. Fully deserved win. Where did the ref get 7mins added time and another 3 from?

Have another and Whitehall will be staying upright and scoring a goal from open play.

That’s why I said ‘on his day’. I recall many days when he wasn’t in the game at all and his role could have been better filled by someone more consistent and who didn’t mind tackling and taking on defenders. He scored some crackers mind.

[Deereyme66]

I might be inclined to explain when you can show a bit of politeness. But don’t hold your breath. Life has taught me to let certain types find out for themselves rather than spoon feeding them. No matter how old.

Sadly I predict a 1 nil defeat

He was great on his day. Bit of a sulker though. High opinion of his own talent.

‘It’s a fair way from the top of a floodlight pylon’

Probably too pished to make it to the top.

[Deereyme66]

Only invaded the pitch once. To congratulate Graeme Crawford keeping a clean sheet. Probably 10 years old.

[Deereyme66]

The bookies are usually right

[Deereyme66]

Just watched it. Looks like a Rochdale fan? If so, fair play to the York player decking him. Might stop him doing it again.

Do they need to be on the pitch to celebrate? You surely saw what the York player did.

What did he do?

Maybe so awaywego, but wtf has it got to do with McCann? It’s hardly disrespectful barely commenting and clearly Butler doesn’t want to talk about it or need the distraction. What, are all managers of potential new clubs expected to lick Billy’s boots (one for the older fans)? Concentrate on your own job and club Grant.

They know f all about fans and as certainly showed down the years at our club.

Why the pathetic 402 fans for the league game? Were there travel issues.

Truthfully, 400 travelling Shrimpers for a Saturday league game is hardly bad, when you consider that for the reverse fixture at Roots Hall you had 275 travellers there. This game has just a bit riding on it, so there will be more fans travelling.

awaywego is well known for his pedantry, amongst other things

402 fans is Not a decent following from a team that averages over 8000 at home Deerey.

Sold over 800 to season ticket holders already for Tuesdays game though, now that’s more like it should be.

402 might not qualify as a decent away following to you but from Southend, most reasonable folk would say it does, regardless of their average home attendance. And they were noisy. 800+ is very good, IMO.

[Deereyme66]

Tbf, apart from scoring, you were probably the better team last time you visited us. Decent following and noise too.

I’ll select the Shrimpers to go up if we don’t make it. Similar plight, same time and all that.

Ah, okay, I understand. Confused the staff tip with charity donation request. I’m not keen on it either. They should just pay staff a better wage and take it off profits. Many restaurants have ‘service’ included in bills nowadays. Only realised when my daughter who works in hospitality pointed it out on our bill the other week. Saved me putting in my unusual 10%.

[Deereyme66]

‘She did look ashamed.’ TBH alcazar, that just makes you sound like a four letter word.

[Deereyme66]

That’s the key thing about ‘charity’. You’re not supposed to expect anything in return.

That’s the great thing about choice, you’re not obliged to do donate anything. You make it sound like a chore. If they don’t ask they don’t get.

[Deereyme66]

‘Let’s also take into account that, due to the internet, most people now know that the people at the top of most charities are taking very lucrative six figure salaries.’

Do they, or just another one of the things you’re bitter about? I suspect it’s no way near ‘most’.There are around 150,000 charities in the UK, big and small, not just the huge ones you allude to. Many address desperate health and social needs.

[Deereyme66]

Is that confirmed? If so, well done MM
