Just Back  (merged)

Quoted from Ipswin

It's not a case of being spiteful at all. I stated on Hurst's re-appointment that in my opinion (I take it that is still allowed) it was a mistake and a missed opportunity (one major step forward and two steps back) given the takeover of the club, a moment seen by most people as a fantastic new dawn.

I don't rate the man and I hoped the new regime might have invested money in a manager (rather than sprinklers and scotch eggs perhaps?) rather than reverting to Hurst (on the cheap no doubt as he was unemployed)

I made my position clear and as I undertook to do then, and I haven't done a u-turn by posting here again, I intend to refrain from any comment about Hurst, the team and results etc

Nothing would please me more than to be proved wrong and to see Town back in the Football League next season or the season after that for that matter

I’m not sure I’ve ever disagreed with any comment more, on any subject, ever.

You “support” the club, not the manager, not the owners and not even the players to a certain extent. If nothing would please you more than seeing us go up, get off The Fishy on a Saturday afternoon and down to BP.

I prefer Noche to you…

I asked because I was surprised no one had mentioned it especially as so many think it so important.
Folk were creaming their jeans about the free scarves, the totally different atmosphere, how wonderful it all was, the fanzone, the flipping sprinklers, the scotch eggs (FFS!),, the beer, how amazing it was to beat mighty Weymouth 1-0, how the new owners can walk on water, how McAtee is England bound, how wonderful that the players gave their shirts away and how everyone applauded before kick off and the queue for a urine was unchanged

I didn't want anyone to comment (Ska started it by adding to his basic yes/no answer about it being well received) I find the whole thing a total pain in the bottom, I merely wanted to ask if we were still doing it in the depths of the non-league. They'll be taking the knee at Ploggers next!

Incidentally I think Ska was talking about the Covid / vaccination / mask discussion starting up again not the fact that I asked about kneeling

There's something strangely biblical here...................how to p**s off 5,000 fishes!!!!!

Oh give over, Swin. You've been reeling out this schtick since the Topica email list days of 1996, regardless of who is the manager. I'd say it was wearing thin, but holes started appearing in it twenty years ago. Haven't you got anything better to do with your time?

Best I've seen from Max Wright, can tell he's playing for a new contract. If he stays fit, he could be great for us this season.

He wont stay fit that's always held him back , nobody loves max more than me but his injury record tells us the next one just around the corner hope i'm proved wrong because he really could be our match winner at this level , come on maxy prove me wrong lad

Back from a cracking Lincs weekend. Visit family, Crazy golf, Steeles, Ice cream with a walk along the front in the warm sunshine, wander up to the ground, chat with some vocal Weymouth fans on the way. Decent game, great atmosphere, 1-0 win, what more could I ask for.
And what a difference the the clear barrier makes to the view in the Findus, and next time if I havn't had a Steeles I will deffo be testing out a scotch egg.
The game, no one played badly, think we still lack something in the final third but hopefully with a fit Shop/Taylor we will threaten more.
Thought Clifton and Fox excellent in midfield, and Efette great going forward, and although McAtee seems to take his foot off the gas for a few mins a few times, he is quality and will be instrumental to any success we have this season. Even the Parslow/Waterfall point worked out ok, but not sure why he left McAtee on for him to limp through the last 10 mins having signalled to the bench he wanted to come off just as Waterfall was waiting to come on I have no idea.

I can be as grumpy as the next man but I support Grimsby Town irrespective of who the players are, who the manager is and even who the owners are.
Do I like Paul Hurst as manager? Well, he’s given the club its best day this century so he’ll do for me.

Hurst was very fortunate to keep his job after last season’s fiasco so he has to do top 5 minimum for me this season.
