Paul Hurst

Quoted from sam gy

'We only finished 4th'

Seriously, get over yourselves. We were promoted. Really, who cares where we finished??

And for any heavy defeat there must have been a couple of very high scoring wins. I remember us putting 7ish past Mansfield, Stockport, Halifax off the top of my head. But lets not concentrate on that.

Just ignore them Paul and don't let it get you down.

*pedant alert*

Mansfield was Neil Woods

I'm pleased he's doing well. And pleased for the ex town players. The Halifax away game tarnished my view on our lots support that season with the abuse the players got. I was angry at the performance that day but the language aimed at the manager and players was shocking. They deserved better.

*pedant alert*

Mansfield was Neil Woods

Yes it was and the next game we won 6-1 at Histon,

So that proves even a rubbish manager can get a few good results.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

He's not the only one is he Pete?

I thought I was a happy clapper  

Alfreton 7.0 just after gateshead away 6.1

I remember the night when we drew 0-0 vs Morecambe and made it to Wembley.I was late finishing work so went straight to the ground and got in about 6.45pm I went and sat in the Main stand near the old press box. Buckley was in there on his own deep in thought looking out over the pitch and I wanted to speak to him and offer him some encouragement ( I couldn`t though cos he had like a glow about him he knew his stuff he didn`t need me or the fans just his players to listen).That team was arguably the worst squad of players we have ever seen assembled yet somehow he moulded them into a team and that image of Buckley was why for me even though he was never all about the fans you could warm to him still.

Fast forward to Wembley and PH when he cupped his ears I felt very bitter and betrayed (I admit I wanted him gone after the Braintree home game) . I had bought Season tickets for his last 2 years as Manager for the first time since Buckley was sacked. I had believed in him I wanted to back him and his team he had at last assembled a team worthy of our support PH had his reasons for cupping his ears I don`t dispute that but his players and those supporters who had backed him deserved better.PH never had that glow for me and I could never see him being accepted back here.I hope PH goes onto have a successful career and this was his Launchpad but being honest the football was usually pretty dour and will never ever be remembered for it`s beauty.

Football is the beautiful game and for GTFC fans of a certain age that belongs to Buckley.UTM

Players inc Town ones from time to time cup their ears on a regular basis.

Quoted from GRIMSBY TOWN FANS

I don't care that we won at Wembley and got promoted. I spat out my flask of tea in rage when Paul Hurst cupped his ear. Totally ruined the day for me and I will never forgive the man for being from Yorkshire.
