Cowley got away with it massively with the penalty today. His team were second best and he did nothing from the bench to change that. Then shut up shop when they equalised to hold onto their point.

You can only go so far with the conference hoof ball garbage they play I was pleased we didn’t appoint them.it looked like Jolley had them worked out and we totally outplayed them,

It's a clever system in a way, 2 brothers, 1 in each ear of the 4th official the whole time, breaking him down over 90 minutes with a good cop/bad cop routine until he relents and gives them their way as long as they shut the f**k up..

They are definitely building a reputation for constantly whinging and I agree it's sort of working for now but I sense the officials are slowly getting sick of it

I feel really sorry for the fourth official nowadays. It's not just the Cowleys although they are probably the worst for a long time . At most games the fourth official has to withstand being berated for the ref not giving what they want  this can easily be solved by moving the dugout halfway down the pitch thus giving a good space between the  managers area and the fourth official. If they encroach out of it then they are likely to see the game out in the stands . Problem solved .

I think this is all a bit unfair on them TBH. I don't care much for their brand of football and their moaning at the fourth officials does them a huge disservice, but they've transformed Lincoln City, the team and the football club. Without them, none of their good fortune would have happened. You might not like how they've gone about it, but I know most Town fans would happily take a little of that fortune for our own club.

I'm happy we were more than matched them yesterday and it really felt like a huge leap for us from Jolley's first match in charge against the Imps. I don't think MJ has necessarily sussed them out; I suspect the Cowleys had less to go on than he did with them. It possibly gave Jolley a slight tactical advantage. I also think he's somewhat more tactically inventive than they are, in both good and potentially bad ways. We still have to play them at their place and I'd be amazed if they played that badly again.

You might not like them, but they deserve some respect for what they've achieved, even if what they've done was not necessarily a beautiful thing to watch.

Both the Cowley brothers were watching us pre season which I found very odd
