Cowleys

Quoted from Helgy

Danny and Nicky have done loads of community stuff they sort of adopted a young Louth lad last season who had and lost every limb bar one due to meningitis and he was with the team at Wembley and a teenage lad with bone cancer walked the ball out.
Last season Nicky gave his jacket away to a down syndrome young lad sought him out in the crowd.
For me anything like this should be applauded.

No problem with that any of that in fact it's fantastic but can you just tell them to stop moaning constantly during a match cheers

C’mon folks, let’s not be bitter. They’ve taken Lincoln from the bottom half of the Conference to the top of League 2 in 2 seasons, that’s a hell of an achievement. Sure, they got the 300k investment but that probably took their budget to a similar size of our Conference budgets. They won the league, got to the FA Cup Q-Finals and the FA Trophy semis too. Let’s be honest, most of the time they get their tactics right and they’ve generated a lot of money for Lincoln.

Now I’ve been nice, I will agree that he is smarmy, an egomaniac and a proper anus on the touch line

I'm not knocking what they have achieved in any way, but the way they have achieved it, on the field at least. They may do wonderful things in the community, and good on them if they do.

One of the reasons we loved Buckley so much was not just because of he success he brought, but the way the team played proper football, the way it should be. Still some of the best football i have ever seen at any level.

You’ve either got class or you have not.

Fantastic management team.

Achieved am amazing stuff at Briantree and have now revolutionised Lincoln. Put your bitterness to one side and give credit where’s it due.

Who's this Brian Tree geezer?

Regardless of how they act at the side of the pitch, which for the record I think is a bit embarrassing, the above shows a different side to them and should only be applauded.  

However, it just highlights how we've completely stagnated in recent years off the field.  To the best of my knowledge, Louth has always been a GTFC area.  We're improving beyond measure under Jolley with the PR stuff and community engagement stuff (or at least showcasing it) but we can't forget the potential fanbase that's not in front of our noses.  We've the Estuary to the North, the sea to the East so we need to make sure we tap into as much as we can from the West and South of North East Lincolnshire.  

Just an observation I made when watching Brighton v Manure yesterday. In the 2nd half, every time Maureen was shouting instructions to his players, the Brighton assistant stood as close to him as he could and shouted across him. Two or three times, the Moaning One was gesticulating towards the 4th official, but nothing happened. Could be a tactic, and maybe one of the Cowley's was bothering the 4th official to distract him? I'm not saying this is how it was, but you never know these days with the pressure on managers to win at some clubs!

Speaking immediately after the game, Cowley said he would reserve judgement on the incidents until watching them back.
Now having done so, he felt the award of the penalty was correct and that Collins should have been red carded for a “reckless” challenge.

So Danny, your reserved judgement after reviewing Fatty Rheads slammed elbow to the throat of Henderson a few weeks back?

Danny? Err..DANNY?

I would say that it is probably a penalty, albeit a soft one which you would probably see not given as many times as it is. But for Cowley to claim that should be a red card is laughable considering this is a man who has employed Fatt Rhead.

His comments regarding the red card relate to Collins challenge on McCartan on the half way line, NOT the penalty incident
