Grimsby Match
- Thread starter cashman
- Start date
We got a point from what sounded like a **** game. That's good form. Well done red men.
Just got back and overall it was probably a fair result at the end of a poor game. Sickening to concede such a soft goal so late on, but we looked really jaded tonight and had nowhere near the usual sparkle.
Dead right - they had their tails up towards the end and the crowd were really getting behind them. A couple of late subs could have calmed things down. Feels like a defeat!
We didn't really use the extra man advantage well enough though.
Was a poor match, think everyone knew once conlon came off the bench we would score as he always does against us. But once we went ahead we shouldnt of conceded, should of defended and saw the game out. I would have took a point before the game but not in the way it came...
I only saw Mark Turner in the away end, but then again I wasn't scanning the main stand for recognisable faces.
There were no protests or any new songs/banners that I saw/heard.

A point at Grimsby can be considered a decent result. For the players and the management to stay focused after what as gone on, particular in the last week is remarkable really.
Only difference I noticed "We dont care about O'neil he dont care about me" BUT dropped Ilyas bit
And "Ilyas Khans RED and WHITE army"
Cheers for that TM
Thanks SimonOnly difference I noticed "We dont care about O'neil he dont care about me" BUT dropped Ilyas bit

We know Coley isn't exactly a model of equanimity during matches, but he really should have a word with Proccy. He was charging around like a maniac after every dubious decision by the ref and running up to him with arms in the air. Eventually the ref had had enough and delivered a stern dressing down. After that Proccy obviously felt he couldn't tackle with his usual, err.......brio, shall we say, and probably should have been substituted.
Funniest moment was when the ref went down like a sack of spuds towards the end, and from all 4 sides of the ground came the chorus "Off, off, off", and the even less helpful " We hope he's dead" from a certain boisterous group. A Grimsby player hadn't read the first aid manual and roughly hauled the ref to his feet, whereapon he promptly collapsed in a heap again. I had a horrible thought that maybe the poor fella had suffered a heart attack, but happily he recovered to resume his fussy routine. Pity he didn't spot Conlan's shove in the back on Kempson as he went up to head the equaliser, though.
As we walked back to the car some young home fans pursued us with the Owen Coyle-type chant " Barry Conlan, du-du-di-du" and "2-1 up and you f****d it up". They were right.

Had a superb trip to Grimsby on friday night.
1st time on the coach aswell for a LONG time and really enjoyed it.
Without a doubt the best fish & chips ive EVER had at a ground lol.
As for the game, we really should have won, just shows how far we have come in my opinion.
The ONLY negative from the game i had was Mr Dunbavin im afraid.
Hopefully 1st thing once the bill gets paid and the transfer embargo gets lifted is that we get a keeper in (either on loan or signing), as much as i like Dunbavin for his shot stopping ability and passion, his decision making and positioning still leave alot to be desired.
All in all, a superb away trip.
Tom Lees, seems to get better every game.
Gary King looked a real handful and with Miles having a bad back this could be his chance for an extended run in the side.
Joyce had his best game of the season so far, ran the show in center mid.
100% commitment again from Jimmy Ryan aswell!

They had probably been on a training course at Rochdale
yeh agreed the stewarding was way over the top.
Quite why they feel they need 20 stewards and 3 police with video cameras for all 90 of us is totally beyond me.
I really think that so many League 2 ground just arent used to people standing up singing.
