Where do you start with that?...
Daft tackle by Davis but great reply from Vernham but have to say the performance was marred by the booing at the end ..
The lads gave their all today, bloody awful pitch and the ground wasn't much better either....
Ogbu a little disappointing today, he was given his chance to shine but never really got going, Hess did okay, thought Clifton put a decent shift and had some good runs through midfield....
Got to take a point and run but still leaves question marks over whether AL is the man to take us forward.
On we go to Sunday against a team that netted 4 today..

Feel like I am repeating myself from last few performances played well on a pretty awful pitch that cut up pretty bad. All about not taking chances again and final ball.
Thought we were better team,which showed in last 10/15 when they started really wasting time and were happier than us with the point.
Couldn't fault the team for effort everyone seemed to be really trying to get the win.

Then the negative wtf were some of our fans doing shouting abuse at our players during the game then more abuse at the end, that's gonna really help thanks.

I watched on ifollow and turned off as soon as it finished. Amazed to hear anybody thought the performance worthy of booing. If nothing else they are working their arses off and whilst Macc were pretty dire we were clearly the better team.

Bunch of p!ssed up tools who not only threw a can of beer at their keeper but also bullied the stewards into letting them go to the left hand side of the cordoned off stand...
Embarrassing imho..

And that's why some months ago our stadium manager stated clubs don't like us visiting.

Come off it. I booed them at the end as Macclesfield were absolutely shite from start to finish. We were somehow 1-0 down at some point to one of the worst teams I have ever seen. Our expectations and demands have fallen to such a level where we are okay with salvaging a point against a load of carthorses who, good lads as I'm sure they are, our fans think it is somehow acceptable not beat them, and our players should be applauded off the pitch like Lords for a excrement point?

balderdash to that, Macclesfield were shite, yes the pitch was shite but we had the ball for long periods of the game. We gave them a clown like penalty and should have battered them.

I'll not applaud failure, and you shouldn't either IMO.

Give over.

We have just played Scumthorpe whose fans were a bunch of male masturbators with someone throwing a flare on the pitch.

About 25 'Fenty outers' pushed through the plastic tape confining us to just 1/3 of the terrace so that they could spout their pointless chants across to the technical areas. Stewards held them from going further than the goal area. When we were applauding the players at the end, several of these 'fans' booed the team , made w@nker signs at the players and asked why we were 'clapping that excrement?' So we answered with a chorus of MAARRRIIINNEERRS. Credit to a few older fans who said ' We're not avin this!' and went to the front to applaud Matty, Charles, Macca, Ahkeem, Max, Harry etc.
I turned down a free ticket for Man. U v Newcastle today and drove across misty moors to support my team. While they put in the effort, I don't see what else the ordinary fan can do. As usual, a few Boxing Day numpties show their class.

As long as you're happy.

Signed, 'fans'. Who were not happy with 1 point against one of the worst teams I've ever seen. And we were polite towards the stewards, one who told me he understood as he was a Bolton fan. We had no intention of going towards the 'goal area' as you ambiguiously put it. We just wanted to make a point, and I'd suggest others do too. Fenty Out.

The only time i personally think you should boo is when someone genuinely is on the pitch not putting in any effort and is just grabbing a wage and doesn't care about not winning or GTFC (ie i felt that game at Tranmere when one or two players didn't seem to care or put effort in)
From what i read and listen to it sounds like we have a team that do care and are putting the effort in. Are they good enough? Who knows. But it doesn't mean they should be boo'd.

Sounds like the same 20 pr***s who were at the front at Oldham. Bullying and jostling aged or teenage stewards. An absolute embarrassment. Would have paid money to see them hauled out by the lazy coppers, who were only 30 yards away.

Would imagine it is the highlight of their week. One of my lads said "Why do they come to the match, they aren't even watching?"

Agree Luke, they tried today but if we are happy with just effort we will end up losing 5-0 at Braintree on a Tuesday night again. It did happen, don't ever forget what can happen when standards are so low.

We're watching and we are hundred percent Town. Maybe you should demand more? You want me and others who are like me hauled out, banned? Tarred and feathered for having an opinion you don't like and daring to voice that opinion? It isn't good enough. You're okay with it are you?

Booing isn't going to help though is it, I personally would hate to be boo'd from my own fans. I'd lose alll confidence...
The other week i took my team to a place near Bridgwater and they had 100 odd fans watching, 20 odd urine heads. I was playing right back and they kept calling me excrement when i played a ball into the channel until i hit a perfect 30 yard pass to set up my winger who then scored (we won) Anyway, that was quite intimidating but actually it spered me on, whereas if it was my own teams 'fans' I'd lose motivation, especially if I knew I put my all in eacch game which these lads clearly are doing.

Do people boo you at work if you make a mistake or if someone sat opposite you or whatever is doing a better job?

It's time Hessenthaler was relieved of his corners and free kick duties, they are woeful, much better delivery from Robson.

Read what I wrote again. Nothing about the standards on the pitch just the behaviour of a bunch of mindless neanderthals. If you want to be associated with that kind of bullying, spineless bunch of p****s then so be it. Watch the game, voice an opinion, even boo if you feel it will lift the morale of the players!

Tarred and feathered......that is exactly what I would of like to have seen that day at Oldham. Around 25 males between the ages of 16 and bizarrely 50 odd. Embarrassing, just embarrassing.

The players need to man up. They've had support since we dropped out of the championship in 2001 and it's time for them to give something back. I'm not even having a go at the players, it isn't like they are booed at every turn. Today, they played a shocking side of cloggers, was a bad heavy pitch but was the same for both sides. You can make too many excuses for them sometimes. Not winning there was poor, really poor as they were so bad.

I see no reason in supporting them throughout the 90+ but if they haven't delievered, making our feelings known at the end, as I did.

Not mindless at all, you're calling a load of people neanderthals. People who no doubt have supported our club through thick and mostly very thin over decades, away fans. I respect your opinion, many of us have had enough, we are desperate and see no end in sight to the misery that has been inflicted upon us. Bullying? Bullying who? Explain yourself?

What do you want? You want us to keep 'getting behind the boys' or some other soundbyte? Why not embrace reality and demand more? Or if you're happy to keep turning up and keep clapping, maybe show a bit of respect to people who have passion, insight and have no fears about showing it?

I bet they went into the dressing room feeling 10 feet tall. I can imagine Clifton saying to Wright "That drunk up spotty teenage p***k is right, we aren't fit to wear the shirt"

F****ng unbelievable. I genuinely despair.

You and your motley crew were an embarrassment. Protesting against Fenty is one thing. Verbally abusing and gestculating to young players at the end of the game is another.

Explain myself.....pushing stewards, when their backs were turned. Kicking hoardings. Verbally abusing and intimidating such stewards.

If that is passion, keep it.

No fears about showing it...........Degrading and embarrassing behaviour.

I am actually annoyed at myself because we are arguing about separate things. How to conduct yourself at a football ground and whether it us right to boo/berate the players at the end. The latter, if you wish to do so, is your right when you have bought a ticket. Not something I would do, but certainly your choice.

Not me, and saw nonbody kicking hoardings or 'verbally abusing or intimidating' stewards. Twaddle from a snowflake IMO.

I've never felt comfortable booing my own players. I understand that it's a way of telling players their efforts are unacceptable but to be honest, whether we like it or not, we have fourth division-standard players; they're no world-beaters and, you know, they might not always be able to steamroller another fourth division side (particularly when they're confidence and morale is already at an all-time low).

I watched a lot of our games in 2009/10 and I can tell you now, I'd much prefer this squad of players over that one. You can stuff your Proudlocks and Linwoods up your bottom. What I see in this team - even if it's struggling to score goals - is effort.

I don't deny that I'm disappointed we didn't win today. Macclesfield were there for the taking, but we've not won since September and we hadn't scored since October so, given all that background, maybe we should just this once reflect on the positives and try and build on them, instead of booing them back into the dirt.

I was referring to Oldham. All of which happened, I witnessed it.


Changing the subject to suit? Okay, I was at Oldham, as many of these fans you want tarred and feathered were no doubt. As they are away fans and the most passionate, loyal and supportive of our fanbase. Can't comment as I stayed at the top of the stand when many moved down.

I bid you a good evening.

I think it is a great credit to their players that they have continued as business as usual, even if they haven't been paid.


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

Meaning of supportive --  "providing encouragement or emotional help" .  
.Sorry but I cant' imagine verbal abuse, booing or giving the wrist action at our players is giving them encouragement when they must be feeling at an all time low. Did the Macclesfield faithful give their players the same dogs abuse ? and they played far worse than our lads.

The biggest laugh is that you really believe you are right and being part of the "most loyal and supportive" knobheads is the way to go and we should all  join you. If you are in your forties as you say it is way time to ruddy grow up! You were embarrasing and you know it.

To have higher standards you need better players that cost money, which we don't have. You could possibly be right that Macclesfield are nowt and they were also playing non-league a couple of years ago.

Wasn't at the game but if people were booing that performance they need their heads checking. I've seen far worse performances against worse teams.

Having watched the game on IFollow, I thought we played ok. Yes we aren't clinical enough, the tackle by Davis was stupid and we often didn't break quick enough particularly when Robson was on the ball. We did however create a number of chances. Wright was unlucky with both his. The first he should have scored putting it inches wide but the second had a significant bobble on a terrible pitch. We never really looked like conceding either apart from the penalty.

Overall, it was another frustrating day but positives such as the sharpness shown by Vernam have to be taken from the match and built on. A point away is never a bad result..

Come off it. I booed them at the end as Macclesfield were absolutely shite from start to finish. We were somehow 1-0 down at some point to one of the worst teams I have ever seen. Our expectations and demands have fallen to such a level where we are okay with salvaging a point against a load of carthorses who, good lads as I'm sure they are, our fans think it is somehow acceptable not beat them, and our players should be applauded off the pitch like Lords for a excrement point?

balderdash to that, Macclesfield were shite, yes the pitch was shite but we had the ball for long periods of the game. We gave them a clown like penalty and should have battered them.

I'll not applaud failure, and you shouldn't either IMO.



Unfortunately, that's where we are at the moment.  It's a reality.  We can only start here and move forward.  You don't have to applaud but booing isn't going to help. It will knock confidence.  Show me a side who have been successful without confidence.

I find it very strange how these idiots can do this at away matche but you dont see them booing and protesting outside BP? if they wanted the Chaitman out etc surely they would do a protest there?

More like a few drunk up dicks on a jolley to cause trouble, trouble at a club where the staff and fans need the support of fellow league fans.

Pathetic.

Reality? Really? That’s what we’re saying, so therefore fans can’t have expectations that we’d be better than this? Fans have the right to do as they please. Does booing help? Doubt it. Does cheering when we are still awful help? Not really, it shows that we’re accepting of the dire state.

Were the folk singing Fenty out drunk? Some where but given that several of the folk near me were singing and letting their feelings felt, even if not shouting at the top of their lungs, were designated drivers, no, not all were drunk.

There’s a reason we’re replicating what’s happened before and that’s a really obvious reason...perhaps some just don’t want to or can’t see it for whatever reason.

Roll on New Year’s Eve when, after a draw at home to Crawley we’re alerted to another pointless statement that tells us nothing and just reinforces the fact that we should all just put up and shut up...accept this tripe served up and be happy because we’ve got a new portacabin and some floodlights...

Some twisted and self serving logic here. You and your pals have the right to express your views. We all accept that on purchase of a ticket that we abide by EFL and stadium rules. Home and Away. Scunny fans should not have thrown the pyro on the pitch ,for example. Your mate should not have thrown the can of beer on the pitch yesterday and ALL of you should have respected the taped boundaries on the terrace. Macc had only just got their safety certificate back!

I sometimes urine off surrounding fans by complaining about certain players' shortcomings, team selection, tactics etc and get tutted at. Fair do's. Making w@nker signs at our younger players?

Don't tell fans who travel home and away, many hundreds of miles, staying in B n B's, spending the kids inheritance etc. that we are 'accepting' the situation if we applaud the team. We are as frustrated as you.

Every time fans bully stewards (Oldham), throw pyros (Morecambe), urinate in the sink,(Notts County) and disregard stadium rules you make Dale's rant plausible and Kristine's job harder. You do not have the monopoly on outrage at the state of our club.

Not been well since the Scunny game (clearly that made me sick) so could not travel yesterday but watched on i follow.

What I saw was a set of Town players who are either quite young and inexperienced or not at EFL level (not their fault) trying to adapt to a different way of playing and trying to pass the ball instead of hoof it on a poor pitch with no credible striker in the middle of the three up front..Similar to the last few games I saw them putting in challenges, trying to win and keep the ball and working to close down the opposition.and they actually made some chances but admittedly due to lack of technique/experience made some poor decisions in front of goal and at times in defense .  

I also saw a Macc Team who once the deductions have been taken into account have won more points than us half way through the season, where at home and in recent weeks haven't been beaten. Considering our goal drought should we be putting the Macc lads to the sword? I'm not convinced TBH.

Like everyone I want and we deserve better but unlike quite a few followers though it p1sses me off I see the lethargy we have as a club, how average & thin the squad is and at the moment and the lack of clarity about the Manager situation and  to be honest my expectancy is low.

All that said I do expect some goals and a little bit of entertainment and the Manager & Coaches have an obligation to set the team up to deliver this, similar to the players though I think our back room staff are not the level yet we need to progress.Then again they've had very little to work with in reality.

Do I think it's right to boo the players off? No not really, don't clap them  turn away and leave but booing them when they appear to have done their best won't make them do any better on Sunday when we play Crawley.

Like all clubs we have "an element" in our support and sadly I recognize a handful of them who are regular home and away, like us they are loyal as they spend a lot of surplus income on following Town unlike the vast majority they can't express their dissatisfaction unless it's in the form of abuse, poor behavior and getting on the backs of the players, stewards and as my lad found out at Notts County the season before last fellow Town travelling supporters.. .    

Is the current situation good enough? No absolutely not but it is what it is at the moment and as Town "supporters" the best thing we can do is "support".

If only someone had written this last year or the year before or the year before that .........

Copy it and paste it in next December Herts!

I don't agree with the booing either but at what age does a player become eligible for a boo? The frustration just grows like Topsy year on year and at some point it inevitably bursts out, usually with the wrong targets.

Interesting how some become very self righteous on here without actually knowing a lot...I mean to make assumptions about where people were stood and who they’re friends with is interesting...

I guess people read what they want and make their own judgements...haven’t actually heard anyone condoning throwing anything on the pitch but hey, if folk won’t to assume that’s what people are doing then fill ya boots.

Just admit, it’s shite, some see yesterday as an improvement, a lot don’t...the club has gone backwards since re-entering the league and there’s buggerall to suggest anything will change with the current regime...and having missed only 6 games in that time, it’s merely an opinion...

I’ve been to some shitholes over the years but up their with the best. After a day stuffing my face with Christmas goodies enjoyed the game on Boxing Day. Similar pattern to previous games, we are playing ok but missing 2 quality or experienced  players. Like society Town fans are divided, half blaming Fenty for our lack of progress the other pragmatic, supporting the players and believe the footballing gods will get us three points. UTM

Was coming down with a bug but travelled, suffered on the open terraces first half, sat in seated area huddled in a ball second. And struggled driving home then been in agony bed ridden since only just finding a moment I can text coherently or see screen straight..

But anyway, didn't really take the match in fully with the 'flu onset but what I saw we tried hard and created chances. Look dangerous at times Max Wright out wide for example and some good balls in.

Hoping Ogbu would seize his chance through the middle, but he struggled.

The pitch was awful, AL wants us to stick to our passing ethos but you couldn't hit a straight pass on that pitch without it bobbling all over, swampy in places too.

Good to see Vernham looking the biz.

Im never one to agree with booing unless the most heinous of shirt-disrespecting performances are put in, but this lot care you can see that.

There's just been a bit of bad air, be it the Swedes on mega money, different factions, a growing disdain for Jolley or whatever which hard to immediately rectify.

Get a few out to promote squad harmony would be a start.

But yeah, on to the booing, these boys try, calling them male masturbators is unnecessary, the 'moderate majority' were bravely telling them to shut up and back the team, I tend to stay neutral as can just create more and more vitriol and bitter infighting, though I did mutter to myself 'back the team' once or twice. And I was buzzing thinking that'll shut em up for a bit when we scored but it didn't.

Listen I'm as frustrated as anyone else about the running of our football club, I've gone from vehement Fenty backer turning about face to the point I received a pm inviting me into his office as my comments 'very unfair'.

But I'll never do anything to knock the player's already fragile confidence on a matchday.

I wanted to stay and clap the boys but the players were faffing about on the other side of the pitch too long and I had to race to car get blowers on and die.

Disappointing to discover ten minutes later my mates Son came under a torrent of abuse from members of the angry mob for clapping the players to the point he thought he risked physical assault.

You've a right to your opinion boys, don't bully or intimidate others around you into falling into line with you.

You could say the Town moderates should allow the angry mob's right to an opinion, and to an extent I agree, although I don't like it and toxicity is painful, but at least they don't make you feel like you might end up in an ambulance for having a different opinion.

Right my head hurts after that gargantuan effort given my status, gonna give Crawley a miss guys, lesson learnt -just not worth the suffering.

(Setting the 'flu off some more that is, not the endless pain of supporting 😉)
