Just about to stick mp on

Fair play mate and thanks. I'm not a huge fan of the cup and admittedly enjoyed my Wembley day out against Wrexham but as a fan I'm always interested to see what our fringe players are playing like etc, I'll be keeping a lookout for updates on here.

commentary on MP is awful  

Interested to see how they line up. Looks like 3 at the back maybe, but with only 1 of them actually a centre back?!

Pleased to see we've not loaded the bench up with the big names - 2 coaches and a yt is what the trophy should be about!

Is it just me or is that feed on Mariners Player absolutely horrific.

this commentary is a joke, ridiculously low volume

Quoted from springstomind

Is it just me or is that feed on Mariners Player absolutely horrific.

Nope it's not just you.

I'd rather them not stream it if it's going to be that bad, the fact I'm paying to listen to it is a little annoying.

sounds like a phone has been put on loudspeaker and placed on a desk.  Background sounds like R2D2 is running amoke

It's not very good but will know if a goal is scored

it sounds more like an episode of one man and his dog than a football match with all that whistling

I wish John Barnes had presented Channel 5's coverage at this volume.

Feedback all over it, low volume, almost like a wind sound in the background... It's quite literally as though it's been recorded on a cheap 90's cassette deck played back in slow motion.

Are The Clangers in the crowd?

Quoted from WOZOFGRIMSBY

Just about to stick mp on

And turn it off again

Ridiculous!

Quoted from Tangerine Chris

sounds like a phone has been put on loudspeaker and placed on a desk.  Background sounds like R2D2 is running amoke

That's about right

"Due to a lack of facilities at The Automated Technology Group Stadium, Radio Humberside will not be covering this game.

Benjamin Crowley will be your commentator and the coverage starts at 7.45pm.

Commentary will be broadcast via a mobile link so it may not be of the usual sound quality.  Ben has volunteered his services purely to give his fellow supporters some coverage of this game. "

Cant get any sound at all? first attempt at using it. 8) 8)
UTMM

Its funny but at least the club has tried, unlike Humberside.

You prob need to turn it up a lot :)

Don't knock the commentary - seems like it's basically a fan over a mobile fan trying to do his bit

Goal from Alabi ruled out

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Its funny but at least the club has tried, unlike Humberside.

Nothing they could do. They're an actual broadcaster, they're not going to broadcast like this!

Confirm, ed line up and subs?

It's much better now. Bogle nearly scored

Quoted from lukeo

Confirm, ed line up and subs?

McKeown; East, Robertson, Pearson, Venney, Mackreth, Brown, Henderson, Marshall, Bogle, Alabi.

Subs: Doig, Clifton, Sunter, Warrington, Jennings.

Better quality for second and bogle hit post

Thats better now I can hear it Bogle hit inside post and went out

Bible just hit inside of posr

Auto spell !, Bogle

Sounds like Town are pressing a bit

Can I be first to salute any Town fans that are there tonight. You are all utterly loopy though.

Quoted from lee65

Bible just hit inside of posr

That's what it sounded like to me, too!

Quoted from lee65

Bible just hit inside of posr

For gods sake!

Well theres a few fans here. The weather is abysmal though and the pitch is looking extremely wet in some places. Hope the game is seen through.

Town looking good with three good chances already. We should walk this.

How many roughly ?

Much better now with the improved volume. Ben's doing a good job, and it is a more than adequate replacement for the regular, professional coverage.

I like this 'Jack' thing instead of 'Mackreth'

Makes it sound like we've got a Brazilian flair player e.g. Neymar

If only!

Is it available to fm listeners or just online 🤓

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

McKeown; East, Robertson, Pearson, Venney, Mackreth, Brown, Henderson, Marshall, Bogle, Alabi.

Subs: Doig, Clifton, Sunter, Warrington, Jennings.

3 - 5 - 2?

Who said trophy doesn't matter? You seen how many people are on the fishy right now!

will neeed snorkles 2nd half at this rate.

Loved that announcement on the speaker, better than being there

I like the commentator (Ben?), at least or don't want to mute (or kill) him like I do Jonathan Pearce  ;)

Shocking playing conditions could tell on us second half regarding lack of match fitness

Sorry, just can't take all of the background interference in my ears - I'll come back for a result later !

Hard to say how many here as its not segregated. But seen plenty of town hats, scarves, etc. Must be over 100.

Any chance of the match being abandoned due to conditions.

Don't really want the game to be called off tbh

Weston v Wealdstone is off again. They've not played at all yet.

I'm on headphones now and it's a lot better; didnt intend to sound mean to the lad, fair play to him for doing it, I was just talking about the quality of it the sound. I'd rather listen to him than Alan Buckley :-)

Is it still 0-0?

yes mate, one goal from Alabi disallowed

The lad commentating is doing a good job to be fair. Problem is, it sounds like he's broadcasting from A&E. Keep hearing people coughing and sneezing, and there's an abusive drunk in the background!!

Love the fact he keeps saying "come on town"

Fair play to him.

Don't ridicule him for giving us the opportunity to tune in

He's doing a decent job, sounds like a pocket conversation though.

Ht we are on top reckon 2-0 town ft

Half time. Town unquestionably better looking than Solihull and feels like we should be able to get a goal second half.

Pitch is holding up well but a lot of standing water on the wing closer to the dug outs.

Dont think it will get abandoned if the rain stays as eased off as it is now.

Same story as last few games, plenty of the ball, final pass often wrong, opposing keeper only had to make a couple of good saves despite a dozen shots. Lets hope they dont do a Shrewsbury on us COME ON TOWN.

Let's just lose and concentrate on what's important

half time.........had the better of it....omar unlucky on a couple but was offside for disallowed goal...centre mids are stroking it about nicely but mostly sideways....keeper made a few saves from brown & alabi....the latter looks totally dissinterested and bothered by the wet.
no dramas at the other end other than the pitch but its stopped raining at last

Commentary sounds like Howard's Note off the might boosh.

Fair play for volunteering to do commentary through mobile link though, genuinely appreciated.

For what its worth the other Trophy Half Time scores -

     Braintree  0 - 0  Bromley

Macclesfield  3 - 0  Ashton Utd

   Worcester  1 - 1  Southport

Quoted from promotion plaice

Ashton must be well drunk off, they were 2-0 up when the first game was abandoned at half-time!

Come on Town we can lose this.

1 down

1-0 Solihull

Great news

Juat shows weve had a hatful of chances and theve had a couple they score we dont

1-1

1 all Bogle

1-1

Sake  :-/

1 -  1  now   Bogle.

At least Omar scored against his old club. Please for him

Instant reply. Yes Bogle.

Well done omar! Goal to hopefully give him some confidence

Pen to Town.

I hope town win. I can't see why people want us to lose,  Hurst is clearly giving the squad a rotate when it comes to the FAT so surely we want to stay in it to give the guys on the edge of the 1st team good tough solid games that actually mean something and not just reserve games.

Penalty to Town

Quoted from thevera

Come on Town we can lose this.

That's the thing though, I feel we are under no pressure tonight. Its nice being relaxed for once.

2-1 Town

1-2

Come on town lets go in front

2-1 Alabi pen

Who scored the pen

1  -  2  TOWN.

2 in 2 starts for alabi. Just putting that out there

3-1

1-3

3-1 now Mackreth

They've poked the bear!

Quoted from Grimal

Bogle

I thought they said Alabi took it

Wem-ber-ley

I'd be very surprised if Bogle let anybody else near the penalty?

Matt Dannatt said Alabi

Happy for jack needs a run in the team. Feel he gives us anther dimension assist and a goal come on town

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

I'd be very surprised if Bogle let anybody else near the penalty?

Says Alabi here too.

http://www.flashscore.com/match/ruAgb9C5/#match-summary

It says G. Cowan on Flash Scores!

Quoted from Les Brechin

I thought they said Alabi took it

Not sure Les but thought he said Bogle.

Great stuff - need to have Wembley on the horizon - carrot and stick!
I like it.

Quoted from ivanosandwich

It says G. Cowan on Flash Scores!

Gordon out of retirement to make up the numbers?

Quoted from ivanosandwich

It's changed to Alabi now.

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

I'd be very surprised if Bogle let anybody else near the penalty?

Alabi could probally bench press Bogle for 90 minutes without breaking a sweat.  I bet he was too frightened to grab the ball off him.  ;D

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Can't be much older than Darren Byfield!

Pen to them

3-2

We never do it easy-pressure back on

Is it extra time, pens if needed.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Is it extra time, pens if needed.

Yes both.

Yes but won't come to that

Henderson and Bogle falling out over whos going to take a freekick

No way that Town will do other than win this game i.m.o.

Clifton on for Bogle

Quoted from Madeleymariner

Henderson and Bogle falling out over whos going to take a freekick

Sheesh, you would think they would organise who is taking free-kicks and penalties before the games. Nothing worse that seeing your own players squabbling with each other.

That's Bogle starting on boxing day utm

Glad Alabi scored but quite liked the sound of the fictional Cowan :)

Hopefully the goal will have given him some confidence

Clifton first touch yellow card for a bad lunge. 4mins added time to go

Attendance 479

Play Bogle on Boxing Day, and Alabi v Imps?

Play Bogle against Lincoln just so he can hopefully repeat theta quality goal he scored at Sincil Bank

Won 3-2

Pleasing. Well done town

Well done to the Lad for taking on the commentary.

Good on them.  The players that won this game deserve to play the next round of the FA Trophy.

Well done Town.

Positives tonight -    Winning mentality
                                No injuries
                                No suspensions

Another positive is we've scored 3 times ergo discovering how to score again and hopefully given Omar and Jack some confidence.

I for one think Makreth is class

Good to keep the momentum into the festive fixtures with our fringe players gaining valuable competitive game time.

Well done to the loyal faithful we are truly the best in the league

UTFM

I'd play Mackreth on boxing day to give Monkey a rest.

What block of Wembley is everyone going in for the final?

Doh, we won't know who we are playing till 5th January - Weston Super Mare vs Wealdstone Raider got postponed.

[url=http://www.thefa.com/fa-trophy/results]http://www.thefa.com/fa-trophy/results[/url]

Rodley you bad man hahahaha

Gives the fringe players a target to get into Hurst's sights!

If we happen to reach the final, I hope the same team is given the chance to play as their reward ??

Bogle and Mackreth both score to boost their confidence.

Onward, one game at a time !!

6 points over the holiday period, please???

They had only lost one game all season prior to this, so to beat them on their own patch with what is basically a reserve side is good going IMO, whatever you may think of the competition.

Quoted from Nelly GTFC

[url=http://www.thefa.com/fa-trophy/results]http://www.thefa.com/fa-trophy/results[/url]

We'll have to pay two lots of scouts to have a look at them  :)

Well done Town, I always want us to win, keeps the momentum going.

Good response by the team after going 1-0 down.

Given the conditions and the sparse crowd they were playing in front of, the players showed good motivation to win it from there.

And like ginnywigs says, that wasn't an easy fixture by any means.

Credit to Hurst for the team selection and tactics, and credit to the fringe players for winning an awkward tie.

Quoted from Mariner_09

I'd play Mackreth on boxing day to give Monkey a rest.

Scored a good goal and had an assist tonight. He has a few goals and assists lately, albeit most of them not in league games but he must surely be knocking on the door for a recall. Perhaps Hurst has seen fit to give him a kick up the arris, like he did with Podge a while back.

Jack was mom tonight, ran his socks off. Marshall ran into players instead of going past them, as per usual and Venney totally out of his depth!

Great win Town,  keep it up over Christmas and the New Year

Who said this week that we had not conceded 2 goals in a game since Aug?

A mostly second string side winning is good for the entire squad. We will need to rely on these players sooner rather than later.

I know it's early yet but got a feeling we are going to win some silver ware this season

Just back.

Thankfully the rain stopped before the second half so was able to escape the cover and watch the game from the side instead which felt much closer and into the action.

Took the goal from Solihull to liven things up and of course town responded in fine form, with three excellent goals in quick succession. All really well taken, including the penalty.  

We looked good with actually some really tidy passing, and some good skills on show only let down by the condition of the pitch (lots of standing water) and the occasional slips, etc.

I don't think it was ever in doubt that town were going to win tonight. Solihull had a few chances but they were really only ever small spells where they came alive, with the majority of the play on at half way and into their half.

Good win, shame the weather ruined a bit!

Not sure what tinymariner is on about, josh venney yet again impressed. Doing well every time hes playing, got to be making his way up there, looks like the telegraph sports writer agrees with what hes tweeting about josh.

Good night all round

Well done to any town fan that attended

Mackreth must surely be at least on the bench for boxing day? Seems to have responded very well to being dropped.

Quoted from ginnywings

They had only lost one game all season prior to this, so to beat them on their own patch with what is basically a reserve side is good going IMO, whatever you may think of the competition.

That's a very good point you make.

Anyone know the shirt number of their first scorer James Armson?
