Quoted from diehardmariner


Wasn't there a TV clip of him on his texting on his phone from the touchline during the game?  I remember hearing talk of agents in the dressing room at half-time too.

It's a toss up between that side under Law (once he'd brought all his mercenary mates in to supplement the existing egos in the dressing room) and the side that Mike Newell left us with for the biggest shower of shite I've ever seen in a Town shirt.


I could be wrong but wasn't Nicky Law's brief to keep us up and then he would be made permanent manager?

Seeing as though we had a good chance of avoiding the drop at Tranmere having taken the lead, it would be a bit strange for him to have been looking for something else before he knew he'd been sacked when we were actually relegated, right at the death

Really looking forward to this one. I haven’t been to Blundell Park since we equalised from the pen spot just over 10 years ago.

Is there scope for more tickets if home fans can be relocated, or is it just not possible?


I remember this one Queeny

We had our keeper sent off in the 90th minute for handling the ball outside the area... I was in line with the penalty area ( in our mainstand ) and thought it was more than harsh as it looked as if he was on the line.  Where was VAR then eh?

To add insult to injury the ref then gave you the penalty so deep in to stoppage time that it felt like we'd lost

Plenty of your fans came on the pitch to celebrate the point... I might be wrong but weren't you bottom at the time and that was the first point you'd had in a while?

Hopefully things will go our way this season but whatever it will be good to have a bit of banter with you bantams

Worse than Mike Lyons that's saying something.


Lyons was just before my time so impossible to include.

That does ring a bell.  I remember his interview when appointed and he basically alluded to a remit of keeping us up and then pushing for the play-offs the next year...

Agent wise, dunno if it was his agent or those of the players.  Whatever happened, it didn't do his career any favours because he never managed in the league again, despite a far from shabby record previously.

Don't know if it's my memory going but didn't Lyons play himself up front at times, probably when we had to chase goals.


Lyons would have played himself in positions 1-11 if he could.

Lyons was bloody awful, destroyed the best GTFC side in recent memory and yet he doesn’t even come close to Newell or Law in regard of being the worst manager we’ve had. Even Slade is worse than Lyons was. Only just though.


Batch, Crombie, Moore K, Wiggington, Cumming, Waters, Bonnyman, Ford, Emson, Drinkell, Whymark. Love you all, You are the reason I'm on here. You've had help from Todd, Handyside, Futcher P, Groves, Mendonca, Macca etc etc etc. Up The Mariners!!!!!!!!!

Just before I went to watch town so not sure on that gaffer. I know he often picked himself as player manager.    Maybe those that witnessed his tenure can elaborate why he isn't highly thought off.

I remember it, Phil Barnes got sent off for hand ball outside area and Gary Montgomery came on, was it Justin Whittle who gave away the penalty? Fair few Bradford fans ran on pitch and Stuart McCall had to usher them off
