Apparently he got a straight red card today, long overdue and he might be banned for their cup game against Everton

What a thread that is. Scotimp reaching an all-time low of clueless 're-write the football laws so that Danny is ok' tosh. As noted by some Imps, the Cowleys are way overdue this.

The new Steve Evans, we the fans, should treat the Cowley's, like we do to Evans when playing his teams.

I have over the past 3 seasons had a fair bit of contact with Danny & Nicky they are great blokes nothing like what you think ,they get very passionate over football and i don't think there is alot wrong with that. Nothing like Evans heard a few tales about him.

As a passionate Imps fan you are naturally going to see the sun shining when they bend over. They aren’t going to be horrible illegitimates to their own fans, they aren’t stupid. They do come over to opponents differently, as do many others

The Cowleys are absolute bellendds the way the moan and act up to the ref and 4th official, which is then replicated by the gimp players when they go down like a sack of spuds and play act.

I can't argue it as that's your perception but I have known them since they first arrived hard to explain but have been involved a fair bit at the club in the past 3 seasons.

Next time you see him, can you tell him to get a proper hair cut, he's not a teenager. And Lincolns cry baby antics for every non foul and conning the ref is boring and spoiling the game at every chance is not what football is about.

There is a world of difference between " passionate " and the arrogant, belligerent, confrontational and disrespectful approach that he exhibits towards the officials , especially the fourth official. His red card has been on the cards ( pardon the pun ) for a long time and I'm sure it won't be his last.

Mariner91 Danny and Nicky may have one of the biggest budgets but just look at County. It’s also what you do with it , Swan at Scunny puts in £3 million a year and the team is failing.
You seem to have turned things around , thought too many were panicking but your manager has found the right blend.

Let’s not pretend they’re performing above expectations. They’ve had five transfer windows and are able to spend probably three times on wages what we are. For all that they still can’t get a team to challenge whilst playing decent football.

Their teams evolve , the style of play has changed a lot from the past 2 seasons but it’s a results based industry. No fans are moaning the style of play isn’t good enough. We now play the ball out from the back a lot more , everything have to keep changing otherwise you stay still or end up going backwards.

I didnt realise that. Done well though in his previous clubs eg Concord Rangers and Braintree and almost got them promoted on a limited budget back into the league.

Christ get real, they’re appalling with the way they carry on. You don’t see it Helgy as they’re your managers but to everyone else it’s all there for us to see and the way they conduct themselves is totally embarrassing. Nothing you can say will ever change people’s opinions.

The way they dispute virtually every decision that goes against them demonstrates a total respect for the officials who are trying to control the game. Of course the refs and linos make mistakes, they are human after all, but they way the Cowleys berate everything is embarrassing and shameful. I wonder what his attitude would have been in his teaching days if a pupil kept disputing everything he said?

So much jealous bitterness in this thread. I'd love to have Lincoln's budget, I'd love to have a team fighting for promotion like Lincoln are, I'd love to have crowds of 8-9 thousand at home (I seem to remember we struggled to get 6 thousand during 2005/06 and most of all, I'd love to have a head of hair like Danny Cowley's at 40. Whoever makes those comments about his hair in every single thread where he's mentioned must be one of those people that went bald at 14. Okay he might be a bit of an bottom at times but he's still got the team playing for him.
Now I'm confident we've got a good team now and a great manager in the making but Lincoln already have what we're striving to achieve. There's no need to be bitter, let's just all laugh at Scunny as they tumble down the leagues.

I slag him off for his teenager hair and I have a full head of hair at nearly 50 with no signs of balding, even if i was going bald it wouldn't bother me, as I am not vain like the Cowleys with their excrement hair cuts and I am not bitter towards any fortune Lincoln are getting, just like the Scunts, they'll come a cropper sooner or later, slowly slowly catch the Monkey. You want to talk about bitterness how long have you been following Town because as long as I've been following Town both our county cousins hate us with a passion due to our previous success whilst they were bottom feeding. Cowley is a bit of an bottom is an understatement he's a full time bell end, whingeing and moaning to the 4th official for every decision that goes against his team, he may have his team playing for him as they are the type of players who have no moral conscience and try and con the ref and gamesmanship is part of their traits.

I’m not bitter and I think he’s doing very well with his team BUT the point we’re making is that his behaviour is appalling. All those young impressionable Imp fans are being given a great example to follow.

In all honesty, we're a bit jealous that they have used their FA Cup money & their promotion to kick on. That doesn't give the Cowley brothers an excuse to behave like a pair of bellends though does it?

I remember going to an imp game with a work mate during there promotion season and the amount of gamesmanship that went on was incredible. The goalie would kick out of play to fake an injury when things weren't going to well so the Cowleys could give instructions out. Anyway each to there own but I just thought it was cheating in a way.

Maybe the Cowleys have been teaching Theresa May on how to waste time?
Non football I know but if all the remoaners had accepted the referendum result instead of obstructing it at every opportunity , like some guerrilla type of warfare, then it could have been settled long ago.

Simply not true, the negotiations have proved far more difficult than brexiteers imagined and they themselves didn't actually agree on what to ask for (look at the different positions of Gove, fox, Duncan Smith, Davis and johnson). In fact the may deal is supported by some of them and implacably opposed by others. The guerilla warfare of the leadership challenge and opposition to the backstop has come largely from internal brexiteer squabbling, hardly remoaner guerilla warfare.

Well what about Keir Starmer, all the LibDem leading lights ( not that many left admittedly!), Wee Jimmie Cranky of the SNP, businessmen with only their own self-interest at stake and too many MP's from all parties! They did not support leaving the EU and have at every touch and turn tried to lecture the British people who voted to leave that they were wrong and stupid to even consider such a proposal.. Even our own MP voted to remain but I haven't seen much evidence of her supporting any kind of withdrawal deal.

Are you claiming that remainers having a few moans and marches in London (which I don’t really agree with) have affected negotiations which have mostly taken place out of the country?

I think it’s entirely appropriate that a thread titled ‘Danny Cowley’ should finally be consigned to the Non-Football forum.

I certainly think that far too many of the actual politicians that wanted to remain have totally ignored the result of the vote. They are quite happy to weaken our hand to pursue their own interests. And for what it’s worth I think if the boot was on the other foot the Brexiteers would be exactly the same. British politics at the top level is full of greedy egotistical tw@ts on all sides. I don’t trust any of em.

But the obstruction to the Brexit deal has been led by brexiteer Tories (leadership challenge and opposition to backstop) and brexiteer DUP MPs (opposition to backstop). Not remoaners as you claim. They have been the most high profile opponents so far (some of them anyway, others have supported the deal as the best likely to be achieved). It's not remainers blocking a wonderful Brexit utopia that all brexiteers clap their hands in delight at. Its brexiteers tearing each other apart over their own interpretations of what Brexit is, or should be. That is why it is taking so long - if all brexiteers had one United view of what Brexit is then your point might hold water but for this aspect of the Brexit mess remainers cant be blamed. For what it's worth I think brexiteers are right to oppose the backstop part of the May deal as the potential is there for us to be stuck in limbo. BUT the brexiteers were warned about the issues with the NI border that Brexit would cause but chose to ignore them. Ironic that the DUP were in favour of Brexit, the deal for which they now say is a threat to the union...
