    the comments of County fans in threads I’ve seen are pretty arrogant,they seem to believe they’re up there with the big boys and this is sustainable.

    I can remember comments on here, in the past, that we “speculate to accumulate”. Encouraging owners to spend for success.

    Dangerous nonsense.

    Here’s a thought, Nottingham Forest have spent heavily without much success, they could eventually be joining their near neighbours.

    Give them 6,000 – we need the money and it won’t affect the result. Be good to see the ground full, get plenty of grub/drinks in and maximise that too.

    He also got sucked in by our local authority and it’s Lincolnshire Lakes Project. (All gone quiet over there).
    Good news though, we’re gonna get another roundabout on the M181.

    Head for me, Daws, Mussie, and Turnbull out, in, new manager and new coaching staff basically a fresh start, owners to bring local business men in and offer directorships if they can bring investment in all well and good,and try and get the council onside.

    I’ve never known the local authority to be “on side”. Still keeping quiet about the ridiculous “Lincolnshire Lakes Project”. (We do have a nice new roundabout though).

    To be quite honest I thought the US were too cautious, I was expecting a full press as against Wales and England making rushed mistakes. I think we got off lightly. I don’t have much confidence in the English defence.

    When Blatter pulled out Qatar for a World Cup host nation, my first thought was “What in earth!”, (Or a similar expression).
    All the rights issues are doing are covering up the obvious.
    FIFA IS COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY CORRUPT
    If nations had boycotted this world cup, and the previous one, I would have fully supported their decision.

    I remember the FA youth cup semi final against Sunderland in 1967. We had good youth players, they had better. 5,000 crowd at the OSG.

    The second goal conceded was the one which troubled me regarding Dewhurst.

    I’ve looked at both second and third of their goals.
    Turned the screen for a better look, rubbed my eyes and looked again.
    Nope.
    Still looks remarkably like a keeper pretending to try and save.

    Don’t usually agree with you, but it did look like that to me too, a spectacular and useless dive.

    At the beginning of the season he was prepared to rush out and to shout, seems to have gone into his shell, clearly his confidence is shot.

    I was there and we were certainly better York, it’s just the finishing.
    Even Taft put in some towering headers.

    “Curry Goat
    Curry goat is a staple of both Caribbean and Asian cuisine, and although in the past goat has been an unpopular meat in the UK it’s increasing in popularity. The strong flavour of goat and the spices which accompany it call for a sweet, smooth wheat beer such as the Muntons Connoisseur’s Wheat Beer (4.5%).”
    Article from somewhere on the interblob.

    Jamaicans certainly have some great goat recipes, as for smoking it, it’s not my understanding about what Jamaicans like to smoke.

    I had the unfortunate experience of sitting in that corner during our vital match with Tranmere Rovers (the only tickets I could get). The idiots surrounding me spent the whole match antagonising the away supporters, not even following the game, the sad thing was some were parents with their children. Some of those idiots on Saturday were possibly those children.

    When he came on as a sub for us he created mayhem, fantastic ability.
    When he started for us he didn’t seem to know what to do, how to fit into a game.
    He just didn’t have football knowledge, he couldn’t be an impact player for 90 minutes.

    When I checked the BBC app for the lineup yesterday it had us playing with 10 men. 4-3-2 with Whitehouse LB Boyce CM and Carver up front.

    Not sure alot of time will go into non league.
    When I checked Live text on BBC sport at half time it was.

    Kick off.
    Goal.
    Half time.

    Not very comprehensive.

    Thought Feeney much improved on last season, looked fitter, quicker and a real pain in the arse for their defence.

    Great result today – I am wondering why Daws has never taken the plunge into first team manager? He has done a fantastic job with the youngsters as shown by their performance this afternoon.
    Maybe he is wary of putting his head above the parapet, especially if he has a mortgage to pay but how amazing it would be to take the youth team through to first team success, he obviously knows how to build a great team spirit

    From what I remember he has been offered the position in the past but has declined.
    Who could blame him?
