Just read this on the bog so came in handy for after washing my hands I didn't have to dry them as i put them in front of my phone and this hot air dried them. However as always there little drops of water to shake off even when using hot air, so

No I wasn't at the Morecambe game, I was ill, all tucked up. Illness made worse by travelling to Mansfield when I dragged three other people along to watch, when I shouldn't really have went. Still ill now but hey-ho. I did make sure my son and three of his mates went though, dragging people along in my absence.

You will find there are thousands of fans who will be pleased if there is light at the end of the tunnel, not just you, Mick and Phil.

But to reiterate my point just in case it wasn't fucking clear for you I didn't say people are pathetic for being pissed off, I said it's pathetic that folk are being shot at for offering a different opinion. And as for that bollocka me saying different in real life to what I say on here ...... Other than recent posts re protest, Evans and more bunker bullying I think the last post I made re team performance was after Blyth which was RIP HUFC stating club was dead. They have been doomed since that cup defeat in my eyes and have been a poor disjointed team for seasons but I ain't going to go on and on about it, I no more blow smoke up the clubs arse than I do knock it. i don't need to kiss arse or wait for my arse to be kissed by what I say or don't say on a message board on the Internet FFS. Going on about how shit the team are 'in here' is not going to make any difference to the price of milk. I think it's unnecessary for people to be roundly abused every time they post when they stray from the doctrine of the big boys.

Also remind me of the last time we spoke and the conversation we had. I can't recall it been so long since I apoke with you.[/quote]


What a great post - good job I didn't say it, would be Hell on!
I seem to recall using the word "bully" a little while back - seems I am not the only one who thinks some of the stuff dished out to those who disagree with the "big boys" is tantamount to bullying then.
I also referred to a "clique" which I assume to be the "big boys". They number about 10 board members (out of well over 1000 registered) whose posts account for around 80% of all posts on here and seem to see this as their private domain and who certainly object to posts from anyone who dares to express differing points of view.

I am not a Flinders hater either. I was a big fan of Austin. Flinders has been poor of late, Austin been poor for 12-18 months. Probably both suffering from poor players around them and general malaise of club off the field. They are probably mainstays in the side due to their experience, I do think dropping them would make things even worse though, be careful what you wish for etc.

Some on here were crying out for Hawkins to be given a game, granted he never started yesterday, but did he do himself any favours?

Disagree! You have no guarantee of a point if you score 10, but if you don't concede you will always get a point.

Not dropping Austin and Flinders will make things even worse? They have both been doing great recently to help achieve our -27 goal difference at the bottom of the league and our 8 point gap from the team above us.

How will dropping them make things worse? God forbid those who replace them make a mistake and let in a goal, would rather have Maxted and Richards playing because the other two have done nothing to warrent a first team place.

TBF Austin was pivotal in a very mean pools defence under our friend Wadsworth in was it 2010/11 when they regularly went away and nicked a 1-0 win. Austin age wise shouldn't be past it, just think he has become embroiled in the sh*t that has happened off the field. You put yourself in his place, your club season on season releases half decent players and replaces them with inferior players, and then you end up with sh*te all around you. That is what I think must be getting him down. I know it would me.

Wasn't having a dig marra, but I know you have sung his praises recently. I think he deserves a start, even if as I believe he will prove to be no better or worse that what we have currently playing. He didn't help himself yesterday getting sent off , but I will cut him some slack, as I can imagine Ronnie saying to him " get yourself on and put yer foot in". No I wasn't there yesterday, thank fook. Dagenham next away for me.

I agree, I was a big Austin fan, and have sprung to his defence in the past, but his poor form ( and he used to be our most consistent player) has went on far too long. It doesn't really matter what the reasons are, his lack of desire won't keep us up. So in that respect I agree, drop him, play Duckworth at RB and let him go to Harrogate Town, where his level of performance may have some sort of impact.

Would rather have Duckworth playing on the right of midfield and Richards RB. Can't stomach Franks on the right anymore

Richards isn't good enough imho. Said awhile ago about Duckworth right mid, but we need him in defence at the mo, Franks, fookin ell, don't know what to make of him, a right enigma.

Don't rate Franks, goes missing alot and doesnt get stuck in enough plus his crossing is abysmal. Richards is a better option than Austin at least he has a chance of improving. Duckworth is needed on the right to get forward more. Unless we get in someone for the right side then he can go back to RB

I agree completely about Duckworth Chip, I'm not sure why anyone would want our best player playing out of position.

It's more the fact with franks on the right he offers very little going forward compared to duckworth who is alot better getting forward with the ball

From right back when he's got space to get going, not in midfield when he is marked. He is more of an attacking threat from right back as daft as it sounds!

True didn't think of it like that, im just sick of franks getting his first team start with the way he is playing

Even his immediate family are a bit sick of him to be fair.

Who are these "big boys" on here that people speak of LOL?!!

The same ones who never saw this coming 2/3 year ago like a few of us other posters did and were told to shape up and get behind the club? Now all of a sudden several years later and after the fact they hail themselves as some sort of football visionaries and experts despite having not done a bean between themselves in any sort of level of football!

I don't think the term is being used entirely seriously 'Jose'

Lol are you sure about that Pep?

Mind it was chip who invented it and let's not forget he's played at a resonable level.

Playing at a reasonable level doesn't make you knowledgeable on the game. Micheal Owen has played at world cups (bit better than reasonable level) yet is totally clueless as a commentator/pundit.

Come on Mr chip we are still hanging in there on a Saturday morning after moving up a division and with injury after injury we cannot get a settled side but will keep battling on.
Sunday morning is going really well 12 points clear and in 2 cups so i,m happy with that.

1 season chip

er, i did it with 5 games of the season left

Did I actually say that Chip? You wouldn't make a very good proof reader
