Funny how most of yours think it was a soft pen and most of ours think it was stonewall.

Doesn't matter, anyway. I'm a firm believer that teams make their own luck. Good teams score last-minute goals, bad teams concede them. All the best for the rest.

Is it a confidence thing? Someone alluded to the fact your players seemed to resignedly accept it. Has that resignation passed to the fans?


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

You were a lot better than I was led to believe and I thought you were going to nick it in the second half. It wont be any comfort but I think you will be fine this season. Had we scored early when we were on top it might have been a struggle but you grew into the game. I am a fan of your keeper - thought he was first class.

Could well be, yeah. Both general (we lost three of our first four games, and each time we were drawing when the 4th official raised the added time board) and specific (Butler lunged in stupidly to concede the free-kick from which Cambridge got their winner on Saturday).

We'll have a new manager in soon, by the looks, but the new transfer rules this season mean it has to be someone who is comfortable playing the hand he's been dealt and I'm not sure Paul Newman has applied.

Heh heh!

Fingers crossed you'll be singing that tune from Steve McQueen's best film (even though he didn't make it).

I also thought Newport were a decent side given their league position and lack of wins. I think they just need a change of fortune and get some confidence back.

I couldn't believe that penalty was given in real time,
Just curious, but if we score a last minute winner from the penalty spot what are the players and fans supposed to do?  


What's wrong with a cry of hurrah and hearty handshakes all round? We are British, don't you know?

You need to get rid of Parkin or use him as a last 10 minute sub, he isn't mobile enough to get back up front once he drops into midfield. He should have scored with a free header but other than that your other 10 players are carrying him which again must be giving them bad backs.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Their poor lad was getting an absolute lashing from the rest of the players, wouldn't of fancied that bus journey home if I was him! Tombola did excellent though, real persistence, there's going to be so much more from him I'm absolutely sure.

Parkin was a complete member no reason to go in that hard on McKeown.
