Sorry to disappoint AccyMad, but I have no affiliation to the Spirerites.
Nobody rejoiced more than I did after our 4-0 victory.
Call me an old softie, but when strugglers turn up & get a damn good thrashing, my first instinct is to feel some sympathy for their supporters.
Those like us, who travel in hope only to return home crushed.
I was just trying to be objective & saw the game in a different light to those who were quick to deride Chesterfield as rubbish.
Despite the result, I still feel that the game wasn't as one sided as some suggested, given the stats & their gift of 2 goals.
My big mistake was to describe some of the more scornful remarks as 'uncharitable'. Apparently, I'm now a closet Spirerite.
If expressing an honest opinion is 'taking umbrage' on behalf of the opposition, then so be it.
However, as soon as the club shop start stocking 'Stanley Rose-Tinted Specs', I promise to buy some.
