A great many of our problems stem from the fact that the excellent Clunan has not managed to produce that same excellence which we had become accustomed to in the earlier part of the season.

Appalling. Got zero BBC commentary til 3-07. The connecting pictures for each game – https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/national-league – were up around two clock – except for us and York.
I had to keep refreshing and finally got the right connection pop up at 3-02. Five minutes beyond that before I could access video. Scream!
Is it Humberside not connecting up or is it BBC Sport?
Why does everything have to be so last minute?

Alfreton – the 2nd most thuggish defence in the NLN.

I am quite old; struggle to drive at night; can’t cope with cold weather because my Warfarin makes me feel like a block of ice when temperatures are in single figures – and what cold does to my arthritic body is a horror story.
I don’t usually complain.
But, I am Iron to the core and miss far, far too many matches.
Vanarama televised matches keep me in touch.
Incidentally, in my younger days I watched the Iron on 120 different grounds. I reckon that I’ve earned the right to watch as many televised games as is humanly possible.
There are many more from my generation just like me.

Violent place, Cheltenham.
Once went down to a game and saw this couple walking down the Hight Street – he was about 6’5 and she was around 5’2. They were walking along in absorbed conversation when she suddenly leapt in the air, and at the highest point, threw an awesome punch into the side of his head which nearly took him off his feet.
AND, in a separate incident – saw a road rage between a driver and pedestrian which saw one punch the other. (Can’t recall which punched which.)
Still – I’m sure Bara will manage on those mean streets.

There was only one real mistake, Gurnelista – we left it in the hands of Tories to implement.

For the first time ever, at the start of this season, I thought that Beestin had finally become the player that he ought to be – one who does not just show flashes of brilliance and then disappears for a quarter of an hour at a time.
Then came the injury, Sigh.
He returns to first team action – and it is the former player that we see. Let us hope that it is only post-injury adjustment. We need Beestin at his best.

[lesgeo]

More than a few.

[lesgeo]

I hope that Fitz has it explained to him the dangers of clearing to an unopposed opposition forward.
It’s not the first time. Corner conceded that was totally unnecessary. Lost a goal.
Sigh.
Can’t deny Boston a point. They played football 2nd half and we stopped playing football. Simples.
How many times did we lump the ball up-field – without any semblance of playing top of the division football.
Do this versus Tamworth and they’ll marmalise us!

[lesgeo]

Okay. But that would have been fine in any case.

[lesgeo]

I wasn’t sure why it worked last week. Saturday 3pm and, if memory serves, there were Premiership games.
Anyway, I have been unable to get to GP too often recently – so it’s very welcome.

[lesgeo]

Hmm. I wonder how long this will last?

[lesgeo]

Let’s not.

Whitehall misses too many straightforward goal chances with his head – but ‘top scorer’ in the NLN is hard to gainsay.

[lesgeo]

In an FA Cup game away at Pompey in 2004 – we lost 2-1.
Torps in for us – Sheringham in for them.
Torps was awesome that day – won just about every header and knocked it towards an Iron player.
Sheringham won every challenge he faced – every header straight to the FEET of a team mate.
Some great footie.
Sigh.

[lesgeo]

We certainly have not got the best out of Elliott – yet.

[lesgeo]

Super!

[lesgeo]

We might play AB – yes. He could replace the top scorer in the division.

[lesgeo]

Let joy be unconfined!

The Solihull diving and turf-hugging was not quite up to Buxton standards.

[lesgeo]

Two appalling pieces of defending.

[lesgeo]

Last forecast I saw for Monday – Tuesday was dry.

[lesgeo]

Will this game be televised? – It’s not a Saturday.

[lesgeo]

Can we make Lee Turnbull a permanent fixture assisting commentators? – He is superb.

[lesgeo]

I listened to home commentary first half. Take the word ‘ultimately’ out of the guy’s vocabulary and there would only have been six words and a grunt per minute.
Such a relief to have Humberside to deign to give us commentary second half.

[lesgeo]

Improbable.

[lesgeo]

Well. As long as Fitz stays fit.
I expect incoming on a quarter the wages.

[lesgeo]

Don’t worry, Mick.
I was asked to play Santa but opted for a conscience get-out clause.

Beestin. I remember him.
Wasn’t he supposed to be back about now?

[lesgeo]

I do sorta feel that the supply to Whitehall is not really up to par.
