Oh. Do you mean the guy who hadn’t bothered to find out when the final is to be played?

Yeah, I missed Ollie & Torps.

[Rene Artois]

He wasn’t happy about being subbed – well done Stan, save him for the final.

[Rene Artois]

Iron 4-2 ‘Pies
was 55/1 (with my turf monkeys)

[Rene Artois]

You can kill a game off in the last 15 mins / 10 minutes with managed substitutions.

Bring back the good old days – 11 plus 1.

For me, the rules need revisiting.
5 subs on bench.
3 permitted substitutions.
Additional GK sub allowed if due to a serious injury to the starting keeper.

[Rene Artois]

Cracking goal today to extend our lead to 4-1 with 20 plus injury time to go.

We could get a couple more!

[Rene Artois]

Carlton! … great goal !

[Rene Artois]

CR10 gets our third.

Smashing it!

I’m not partial to this commentator today.

Can you believe what you are seeing?

Iron 8/11
Draw 12/5
M’pies 16/5

There are more contributory factors than an onion has layers.

However:

1 NLN goal in x,xxx minutes was a contributing factor.

People are lamenting the large amount of drawn games – if he’d notched his fair share (an average strikers, average ratio) then I’d hazard a guess that we’d have finished the season as champions.

No team can have a non scoring striker.

A non scoring striker is struck.

Sadly… we’ve got another season to endure with him.

It’s obvious Stan has no faith in him – £1,500 a week and benched!

Too many sideshows off the field have cost the club the championship in my opinion.

Removing Lee Turnbull.

Appointing a new CEO.

Creating Unity.

Signing Beck

FC100000.

Sacking the catering person.

Sacking the club shop supplier.

Keeping Ramus Twat on the scene.

Stadium Weekender.

All these made people take their eye off the real goal in automatic promotion.

I would be looking extremely hard at the reasons behind many of these decisions and the person who initiated them.

It’s all Beck’s fault.

He’s 35 in June. Is that him finished now?

I think attendances are bound to dip if we’re still in NLN next season.
I’d guess they will be 750 to a 1,000 less if we aren’t in the NL.

There may be a bit of a drop off – and hopefully if we go up there’ll be an increase

Hasn’t history demonstrated that attendances are dictated by results and league position more than which division we’re in (the ceiling reached at Championship level for instance)?

I think Rene’s projected decrease in general terms is a bit drastic. Depending where we are in NLN (if that’s the case).I wouldn’t anticipate such a huge drop off.

I just think that the ‘novelty’ factor of the NLN will have well and truly worn off if we are playing in it next season.
A reduced playing budget will probably result in players of an even lesser ability than those on the books now.
This will probably mean that we are one of many in with a chance / hope of promotion rather than ‘nailed on certs’ (Oops!)
It could well be Captain Pugwashesque rather than HM Piss The League next season.
That’s why I think we will see shrinkage.

Congratulations to Brackley.
I hope they consolidate next season and remain in the NL.

[Rene Artois]

Bloody knife edge for 2nd.
A goal to Bulls or one for Kiddy and we slip back to third.
Pass me another beer.

[Rene Artois]

Oh Jesus. Farsley down to ten players as Ollie says.

[Rene Artois]

Chorley are now 1-1 Ollie.

[Rene Artois]

As Ollie says – Brackley are 1-0 up.

[Rene Artois]

Darlo & Marine are both 1-0 up already.

If no Iron miracle, then I hope Brackley go up automatically rather than Kiddy ..

Seconded.

[Rene Artois]

Just in case we are lucky enough to be able to look up the odds of a Southport victory: “Wow, Southport were 100/1 to win 3-0”
If only!

[Rene Artois]

Head: Bulls 2-1 Iron
Heart: Bulls 0-5 Iron
Gut: Bulls 3-0 Iron

As ever, 1-1 is the shortest price.
