Match Thread vs Rotherham

Quoted from aaron rattray

i have noticed a few people are questioning my thoughts

when i said poor i think in underestimated him abit he was as poor as i make out thinking about it now i thought he was quite good he did a terrible free kick did a few dodgy passes but the good points was he supported the forward line he has got good energy he tackles well hes commited and compentant and i think he will become a good player infact i was impressed with all of the new players who played

and i saw mckewon however you spell it warming up and he seemed to be diving around in gaol not saving many shots and i wasnt impressed but he could improve and he was only training so maybe he wasnt exactly trying 100%

and awhen i said we will struggle like what the girl private from sCUNThorpe said, i have got an habit of been influenced by what other people say and i though we looked promising today. in the first half we was still looking like we lack a cutting edge however hearn and duffy changed that

Is that what the politicians call a "U" turn?

Again Rattray comments on a player after 5 mins warm up. We all thought McKeown looked sharp n athletic and more agile than Arthur has over several games, but it was only a warm up, so wait n see but after today I can see McKeown being number 1 at the start of the season if Arthur doesn't get his act together n quick!

As an outsider who was at the game today.  I cant see, at this moment what all the bitching / whinging is about really.  

It was a friendly after all....  a time to try out the new players with the old boys to see how they gel as a team  / play together.

From what I saw today... You`ve got some players there who can take you back up into the League. ( ie. No. 9.. very impressive ).

I will, from now on visit BP more often to cheer the Mariners on... and hopefully take in a few away games if possible.

   Grimsby Town.   Good luck for 2011 /12 season

Unsurprisingly, what looked to be Rotherham's first team caused us problems in the first half and we never really got going up front. That said, their first goal was slightly fortunate as the ball dropped right at the feet of the scorer somewhat fortuitously. The second came after Church was hustled out of it in midfield instead of getting rid of the ball. Arthur will be a little disappointed that he didn't save it.

I actually thought that our poorest performances came from Eagle and Coulson who just didn't do anything much at all. Spencer looked very sluggish but still won his headers so hopefully he can increase his fitness - he is recovering from illness, I believe?

Artus obviously has some ability but gave the ball away badly on a couple of occasions.

I think most of the new players showed that they have something to add and, hopefully, as their fitness improves and they start working with the ball more, they will gel together into a decent team.

It will be interesting to see what sort of striker we go for to replace Connell. Perhaps another quick one?

6 weeks till the schools open again ...

Cheers for that, I don't really keep tabs on when the schools open again.

Quoted from Mighty Imps

Dial-up? Hostel? Is that what you inbreds call as a "comeback/windup"? If i wanted my own comeback, I'd wipe it off your mothers gob.

Apart from the come back which wasn't half bad the first part is woeful.  Grimsby, inbred, not very good at geography or history Gimp boy.  You see Grimsby is a port, a port that is both fishing and trade.  That means our gene pool has mainly a Scandinavian stock that has been added to for several centuries.  Also with the decline of our main industry males and females have moved away then after a time moved back bringing with them fresh genes from other parts of the country or from around the world.

Lincoln has a fresh gene pool each year with the students and Grimsby men going to Lincoln to impregnate the Lincoln ladies because it is rumoured that Lincoln males are a bit jaffa.  Being a bit jaffa is probably why you come across a little angry, what's up, have you found out that your dad's from Grimsby just like Helgy and Aryan  

Scunthrope, well there you go, camp sites, a history of being isolated and the sounds of bluegrass drifting over the M180, wind your window down the next time you pass Scumthorpe.

Exactly, personally I thought it was down to Spencer back defending.

I've never liked attackers coming back to defend deep whether it was Connell, Peacock or whoever.
It's been shown before they often prove to be more of a liability than a help.

We don't need to rush.

Avoid it all together then, have you seen that yellow haze that hangs over it from the Steel works.
