Why Lincoln are a joke..

intercourse'em. We've got more in common with the big Yorkshire towns and cities than those carrot crunching yokels.

Quoted from Lincoln Mariner 56

Think you need to chill. Firstly, there are a lot of town fans who live here in Lincoln, secondly all places have good bad and indifferent people in their populus and thirdly Grimsby is no better or worse a place.  I know a lot of comments are made in jest but its bloody annoying when these catch all phrases are tossed out.

Up to now always thought your comments were pretty good and fair minded, but must go thats my sister at the door, wonder what she wants

Apologies mate, after reading what i put, think ive gone very much OTT, although i will say i think its appalling journalism, sorry if ive offended you and i withdraw my remarks

A man goes into a bar with his dog in Lincoln city centre.
He buys a beer and props up the bar. Looking up, he notices the TV screen above the bar, relaying the latest scores via Sky Sports news. He watches with interest....

The final scores start to come in. As the Lincoln City result flashes upon the screen, the dog promptly rolls over onto his back, waggles his paws in the air and howls. The Barman, looking up startled, asks the fella "What's all that about?!"
The owner rolls his eyes and replies "Yeah, sorry about that........he always does that when Lincoln lose".
The Barman looks bewildered and asks "If he does that when City lose, what does he do when they win?!?"

"Oh I couldn't tell you" shrugs the man.........."I've only had him 10 months".

That's some of the most urine poor journalism I think I've ever seen. I don't even live in Grimsby or Lincoln, but they should be embarrassed about the dross they're putting to print.

It's the shoddy reporting that's amazed me. I have my family split over Grimsby and Lincoln going back generations and those who were Lincoln born and bred will be mystified by this, it's obviously done solely to get a few LOL'z from a few dozen Lincoln fans.
No reporter has put a name to the piece either, but the irony is that Skint could easily make a show here, and in any Town in the UK. The ongoing attempt to move the numerous drunks from the church (who were an unofficial greeting party for anyone stepping off the train at Lincoln Station) one of many aspects of the drinking and loutish culture that Lincoln has.
Or maybe (and getting on topic) it's just a clever distraction to stop fans from questioning just how Moyses has manufactured and bought himself a situation where he becomes the manager, while daft old Bob crosses his fingers and hopes.

Very good mate.

Why is the reporting in the Lincolnshire Echo so shite? For the same reason that the reporting in the Telewag is pretty shite (though admittedly, not quite as bad). They are owned by Northcliffe Media (or whatever they are called these days). Used to belong to the Daily Mail, hence the gleeful hunt for stories about scumbags and their ASBOs, lots of 'naming and shaming' of people and the like.

That said, the linked Echo article is embarrassingly bad.

I was born and lived in Grimsby until I was 15 and then moved to Lincoln.  As I have family and of course home matches to go to, I'm along the A46 quite a lot.  What really saddens me about this article and the need for both "newspapers" to be trading insults, is that it is the entire area that gets dragged down.  Let's face it, Lincolnshire generally is known as a fairly rough, agricultural/traditional industry area, whereby the old stereotypes still exist for outsiders.  The last thing we need is for the media to hype up this terrible, dramatised edited nonsense, that I have now doubt could be filmed practically anywhere in the UK.
