Just wondered if anyone had any info on the seriousness of Pearsons injury from last night?
That would be a bad blow if it's a serious injury.

It came about because of an awful pass by Toto straight to one of their players that Pearson did well to win, then his momentum took him forward to a tackle (not sure who by) that took him down, the ref started to blow for a free kick but as the ball fell kindly to a Town player he waved play on and that move resulted in Nielsen hitting the post.

You're right, awful ball from Toto trying to be clever, but Pearson fought for it and we were off.....such a shame it didn't go in off the post as that is the style and speed we should be playing. Mind bogglingly quick movement and passing to get upfield...sadly we didn't reach that standard anything like enough for the rest of the game, we'd frighten the opposition to death if we could maintain that type of counter break.

Thats not how I remember it, Neilson was taken out and Pearson was caught as he went for the loose ball, we were waiting to take the resulting free kick as Pearson hobbled off, Unless of course your version happened earlier and Pearson  played on for a little while in which case apologies.
By the way what happened to our freekick I think I was stilll watching Pearson try to walk it off, next thing I know there on the attack and get a penalty. Presume we wasted the freekick

You may be right, think I'm merging the two incidents. Above still applies, daft clearance form Toto, excellent counter. Later Neilson was clattered again in the centre and all eyes were on him to see if he was ok, didn't see Pearson get caught just after, next thing he's getting looked at by Moore(s)

Just been in the ticket office and asked Steve Wraith if there was any news. None yet apparently.

Thanks for that.

I'm sorry but you are mistaken, having seen the highlights I was right, daft clearance by Toto straight to their no.8 who fails to control it, Pearson takes it, runs up the field, gets caught by a Lincoln player and goes down, the ref puts his whistle to his mouth to give a free kick but Brown gets the ball and starts the move that ended with Nielsen shooting over the bar.

Pearson stayed down till he went off and the game restarted with a goal kick that went straight up the field and ended in a penalty whilst Pearson was off the field. There wasn't a free kick to Town as the ref played advantage.

Did Scott neilson get injured last night before he got took off? A friend seems to think he was limping but I personally didn't see it.

Ok not seen the highlights, that explains why I thought I'd missed a freekick, I was convinced he'd blown & was expecting the Lincoln player to get booked it looked that bad, would like to see it though as I still have a memory of the foul being on Neilson, memories eh you can't rely on them

RH commented that Neilson looked injured before he went off.

He looked to get a whack over by the touchline about five minutes from the end so would not be surprised if he has a minor injury of some kind, hopefully nothing serious.

In respect of penalty incident I think it was very quick thinking by Lincoln who seeing Dis at right back got one of their many big guys out there to win the header and flick it on. From behind the goal Macca had time to get out to the through ball before Bignot committed to the tackle, Hugo Loris he isnt but suppose thats why he is with us in the conference.
