Match Thread

Come on you mariners!

(Lincoln's away game at Torquay postponed when they were 1h 30 away.. poor from Torquay!)

Just setting off, see you all there.

C,Mon you Mariners!

Same team as Saturday

I recently moved to Telford and play in a 5 a side tournament and every Monday night it's at Telford football stadium, good facilities actually, anyway.. Last night when I was wearing my town too, the ref, who happens to work at the stadium goes "you're brave wearing that around here, were going to do you tomorrow 2-1.. He kept proceeding to state 2-1 throughout the match, lol irritating and all banter really, but I genuinely think he believed it lol.. He even eluded to us being "Rubbish at home" which suprised me that's it's not just us who notice haha.  Anyway I hope we prove the sharp object wrong! Otherwise I'm not going next Monday

Brave to wear a town top in Telford... ooooh....  like it's firkin Millwall yeah ???

Lol I know i did initially laugh in his face but then his face didn't change, I just thought surely he's not serious, it's hardly the Bronx lol.

Not a bad interview from Jack Makreth maybe optimistic to think he'll take his 5 or 6 goals to maybe 15 by the end of the season, but I hope he proves me wrong haha.  Hard working lad and improving every game though!

8 from Telford!!! Lmfao! City - Barcelona on tv maybe

Quoted from springstomind

8 from Telford!!! Lmfao! City - Barcelona on tv maybe

Eight? Does that include their coach driver and directors?

I read on Telfords official website that the supporters coach was canceled.  So that's why only 8.

Starting XI

McKeown, Magnay, Pearson, Nsiala, Robertson, Mackreth, Clay, Disley, Arnold, John-Lewis, Jolley. ON THE BENCH: Parslow, Hannah, Pittman, Brown, Watson.

John Lewis wasting a chance...

21: Double stop from Hall to deny first LJL & then Jolley after great play from Robertson & Arnold on the left #GTFC

8:03 PM

17: Gray fires a speculative 30-yard volley over and then is booked for an earlier foul on Clay #GTFC

7:57 PM

10: Hall smacks a clearance straight against LJL, thankfully for the #Telford stopper the ball goes straight out of play #GTFC

7:54 PM

8: Robertson has come to the touchline to receive treatment on an eye injury. He's now back in play #GTFC

Think my 7-1 prediction is doubtful....

ill take 1-0

Bristol go top of the league

Sounds like terrible decision making in front of goal so far, and we've just been lucky to avoid giving a penalty away.

Quoted from Chrisblor

Clay and lenny having poor games tonight.

Have Barnet been top all season??

HT: #GTFC 0 #Telford 0 - Town have dominated the game and had the chances to be ahead

8:19 PM

33: LJL uses his strength to make an opening but he opts to shoot with three men well placed and he fires over #GTFC

8:17 PM

30: Arnold latches onto a great ball from Clay. He looked certain to score but the keeper somehow diverted it wide #GTFC

Bristol now drawing 1-1

Plenty of chances just need to put one or two away

i'd love Wrexham and Gateshead to win

Dominating the match and surely a matter of time before we get one, yet some moron in the crowd is shouting "bloody rubbish" and I can hear others booing.    What is wrong with these braindead people?  

whats the atmosphere like is like a party like when at Barnet or is it back to being a morgue....some fans dont half annoy me in that they have very little patients these days and expect to be 5 nil up its only HT ffs another 45 to go and once we grind them down we'll get the goal we need.  i hope the players are getting some encouragement.  If i was there i'd be asking why the booing, when we've pretty much dominated the game.

good money says they were not at Barnet on Saturday.....

its just a shame the home fans cant create the same level of atmosphere on their own patch....too many moaners come to watch town.  Probably about time they did one and support cleethorpes, if we got BP rocking we'd be better off for it.

Rodman for Gateshead. They could go above us as it stands if they win every game. Come on Kiddo.

There's a conga of approximately 300 people snaking round the Main Stand and the entire Lower Smiths are in sombreros and ponchos.

Great stuff

Get in! Arnold

Our fans lose patients faster than Harold Shipman

Yes! Here we go, well deserved!

Yes

Quoted from RichMariner

Who got the assist?

says robertson on the beeb

8:58 PM

CORRECTION ON THE GOALSCORER. Arnold not Jolley got the goal #GTFC 1 #Telford 0

8:50 PM

48: GOAL! Jolley collects a Robertson cross and powers his shot into the roof of the net from a narrow angle #GTFC 1 #Telford 0

Goal!
Goal! Grimsby Town 1, AFC Telford United 0. Nathan Arnold (Grimsby Town) right footed shot from the left side of the box to the top right corner. Assisted by Gregor Robertson.

Quoted from jock dock tower

Are they doctors who specialise in dwarves?

lol...bloody spellchecker

Barnet                     68
Bristol Rovers          68
Macclesfield Town    64
Grimsby Town          62
Forest Green Rovers 59

As it stands

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

No need to take the michael Rodley its not big and its not clever lol

Gateshead if they win all their games in hand will be level on points with us but we have a superior GD.

McKeown injured

McKeown's copulated - just what we need....

edit: or maybe not?!

63: John-Lewis bursts clear but Hall stands up well to block the shot #GTFC

9:05 PM

62: OFF THE BAR! Wonderful effort from John-Lewis. He twisted and turned, curled an effort beyond Hall but off the bar #GTFC

9:00 PM

57: Arnold runs from deep but his 25 yard effort swerves wide of the target #GTFC

so is macca injured or not

Quoted from sapper mariner

Barnet                     68
Bristol Rovers          68
Macclesfield Town    64
Grimsby Town          62
Forest Green Rovers 59

As it stands

Imagine if we had beaten Bristol and Forest Green - equal on points with Barnet.... still 33 points to play for

9:07 PM

65: Worry for #GTFC as McKeown goes down but the keeper is OK after treatment

Quoted from sapper mariner

so is macca injured or not

Not

John Lewis really needs dropping for a game or two to give him a kick up the bottom. He's not scoring and wasting FAR too many opportunities of late.

Pittman for ljl

Hopefully

Quoted from Chrisblor

Totally agree.

Missing too many.

69: Jolley cuts in from the right and fires in a left footer that Hall gets across to smartly #GTFC

9:10 PM

67: John-Lewis was offside but the ref allowed #Telford to play on. Hall presented LJL with the ball but he fires over #GTFC

Quoted from bobbyturtle

Hopefully

It'll probably be for Jolley!

Quoted from Meza

Gateshead if they win all their games in hand will be level on points with us but we have a superior GD.

lets not forget about Halifax who are on 54 pts

72: #GTFC subs: Brown and Pittman for Clay and Jolley

Quoted from sapper mariner

lets not forget about Halifax who are on 54 pts

True but we cant get hung over about what other teams can do, we just need to concentrate on what GTFC can do, well that's how i look at it anyway.

So LJL misses chance after chance and stays on and jolley off for pittman.

Seriously why is he never taken off ?.

PH said the other day mate that he wants LJL to get 20 gls so he can ruin your behind haha

Well more chance of hannah staying onside for longer than 30 seconds.

Quoted from Meza

If LJL is doing the sausage your alright cos he'd miss it.

ill drink to that, think the pressure is on them a lot more

Don't they all have to play each other as well so some points will have to be dropped somewhere.

9:24 PM

81: Robertson crosses from the left for LJL but he lifts over under pressure from Hall #GTFC

Quoted from Meza

Well at least he wont stop running.

Good job these are shite

We don't need a scapegoat lads, we're winning. If they equalise you can all pick someone to blame from your excellent vantage point in your living rooms but until then relax.

Getting nervous.  We should be out of sight by all accounts.
Come on town

Town doing there best to make sure they throw it away.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Scapegoat ? Blame ?

Err no just some constructive criticism which as far as im concerned is more than justified.

bristol winning again

Hard not to get a bit twitchy. It's no wonder that town fans just struggle to understand their own team sometimes.. we beat the league leaders on Saturday 3-1 with a really convincing display, and from the sounds of things we're crawling to a 1-0 victory over the dead last team three days later. It's utterly baffling!

Quoted from codcheeky

bristol winning again

They will be top of the table if they win..

Come on town make sure we get the 3 points

Get In There!!!

Great win, roll on Saturday.

Good result town.

Well done but paul please look at giving lenny a rest.

3 points
Clean sheet
Utm

Sounded like an unconvincing win but its a win while Kiddy and FGR have dropped points. I'd have taken that two hours ago. Meanwhile Braintree had a player (Paine) sent off tonight

The 3 points will do thank you very much... never going to be an easy game after the
great win on Saturday and all the euphoria...   any win will do !!!

Same again on Saturday boys...  winning ugly doesn't matter.....

Just done the promotion calculator and given us 9 wins, a draw and a loss in the final 11 games.

This gives:

Grimsby 46 24 91
Barnet 46 35 89
Bristol Rovers 46 20 89
Macclesfield 46 18 88
Forest Green 46 17 76
FC Halifax 46 14 72

Maybe a bit far-fetched but possible - on paper, Town have the easiest run in of all the top clubs....

Should have scored more but we got the 1 that counts. Roll on Braintree. Bristol have Gateshead away on Saturday and Macc and Barnet have Eastleigh/Alty away respectively
