We can't do with Pitman injured.  :-/

FGR are a team of thugs and scum.

Oh Jonnyboy the pipes are calling.... Well hotdog anyway!

We sound good going forward with Pitman and Lewis.

Quoted from cmackenzie4

We can't do with Pitman injured.  :-/

We can't do with anyone injuried?!

Pity most of the team cant pass a ball 10 yards, but I will settle for 1-0, would prefer 4-0 by now so I could relax a bit.

It'll be interesting to see the replay of this goal - whether it was excrement officiating or excrement defending.

Mackreth having another shocker. Neilson must be on soon? Like to see Hamish on as well. Switch to 4-3-3?

Lenny-Pittman-Hamish
        
             Neilson
    Brown          Dizza

Parslow-Toto-Pearson-Magnay

Rodman for Gateshead

Clay coming on.... Bang goes my change! Brown coming off.

Although I'd still have Mackreth off for Neilson...

Mackreth's a poor player. He's had so many bad performances, yet still gets picked to start every game. Wonder how that makes Neilson or McLoughlin feel?

Lord God Dizza....

20 mins too late yaaay Dizza

The Ginger Zidane!!

Get in! 2.1 to Town

Great to see Disley back on form. He's not past it yet!

Gateshead went ahead like we did, then conceded like us.   They went into the lead again (like us).  Rodman scored.    

Dizza is amazing. Come on the Mighty Mariners! A win tonight sets up a juicy match at Macclesfield on Boxing Day!

BR 3-2 UP

Our mate Hughes on for them. Pitman off for Neilson.

Hold my hands up, I forgot about Arnold playing!!

My prediction is that Barnet will gradually be reeled in by one or more of the teams just behind them. I hope we are one of them that do it

Uh oh, don't need Magnay to be injured over Xmas.... Clashed with Dizza, brought off for Bignot. Sounds like he might be concussed.

Tonight's ref has recently run the line on the following fixtures:

United States      1 - 2      Colombia
Argentina      0 - 1      Portugal
Arsenal      1 - 2      Manchester United
Tottenham Hotspur      2 - 1      Everton
Steaua Bucureşti      0 - 2     Dynamo Kyiv

yet now he's reffing on a cold Friday night at Grimsby. I'd stick to being a linesman if I were him.

A good 3 points, FGR have only lost 4 all season before tonight,  so all in all a good result.

Well done Town!  8)

Come on boys - hang in there

Well done Town!  8)

Agreed, they're a dangerous side

Well done Town - keeps us in there

Phew, well done town. Get in there. Preying for a Gateshead equaliser now

Well done town Good start to Christmas.

An excellent start to the festive season.  Well done Town, beating strong rivals.

Interesting interview with Danny North on Humberside right now. Saying that he would seriously have considered re-signing for us while training at gtfc recently, but he already had a 2 year contract on the table from Shamrock Rovers and Hurst wanted a longer look at him on trial before making him an offer. North didn't want to risk staying on trial here for any longer so went back to Ireland.

He's properly scathing about his time at Alfreton too. Claiming that on the Thursday before the Conference North play-off semi the whole Alfreton team went out for a Chinese and a few pints!

Yes a good honest interview here by Danny.

Gonna be an Irish citizen soon!

Just waiting for Hurst to be interviewed so I can have a moan :P

Yeah, good interview with Danny North. Honest, measured.

Thought we gave away a lot of silly free kicks in our own half, always a dangerous game to play especially with the fire power they had up top towards the end!

How many at game tonight?

I counted 3203 others.

3204 with 11 from FGR

Thanks

Thought we gave away a lot of silly free kicks in our own half, always a dangerous game to play especially with the fire power they had up top towards the end!

Yep, it was maddening the way we stupidly kept giving them chances to sling the ball into the box. Very reminiscent of most of the past few seasons. Thankfully, we defended most of the set pieces well and got a bit of luck here and there where needed.

Not the best performance tonight, but we battled our way to the victory and our two real pieces of class won the points - a precise curling cross from Magnay for the first and a beautifully-weighted chip through from LJL for Disley's winner.

Thought all of the defence played well generally, though they were pretty sloppy for their goal and had the odd dodgy moment.

Brown was poor most of the night, Arnold did little for much of the game and the LJL/Pittman combo wasn't quite working out though both did things well individually. Mackreth works hard but doesn't look to be a match-winner and rarely even attempts to get past his man. Thought he took an unnecessary touch before his shooting chance which put him under pressure - should have hit it first time.

Anyway, hope Magnay isn't concussed because even slightly out of position on the left still looks a really good player for this level.

What else? Oh, I didn't think much of the referee who also gifted them plenty of free-kicks which were nothing like correct decisions.
