Quoted from Mariner Timsky

Same as Saturday?

Yup!

Come on you mighty mariners

My you have great hearing  ;D ;)

Pardon

Quoted from ginnywings

Yup!

Aye.

Quoted from Mariner Timsky

Same as Saturday?

Same result! ;) ;) ;)    ( I live in hope )

First away game I have missed - gutted - give them a shout for me.

#UTM

Come on town.
Some big games tonight, Chesterfield or Wrexham dropping points, Notts county or Halifax also.
Woking home to the Daggers after beating Chesterfield and Notts County, what a four game run for them!

COME ON TOWN. Huuuuge game tonight. UTM

And off we go!

UTM

Corner ball! That’s almost as good as a goal isn’t it?

Fans sound in good voice tonight, even though it's wet.

Wrexham 0-1 Chesterfield

Chesterfield 1 0 up at wrexham

Quoted from RobDef1

Chesterfield 1 0 up at wrexham

Stays that way and it’s the job centre for Parkinson tomorrow.

Quoted from Poojah

Stays that way and it’s the job centre for Parkinson tomorrow.

Wouldn't surprise me. It doesn't often work that unlimited money thing does it? Not down here at least.

Quoted from RobDef1

Wouldn't surprise me. It doesn't often work that unlimited money thing does it? Not down here at least.

Except for Salford but they also have heavy influence in football to go with the money.

Quoted from RobDef1

Indeed. As JF found out. 😂😂😂

Goooooaaallll

Quoted from RobDef1

Wouldn't surprise me. It doesn't often work that unlimited money thing does it? Not down here at least.

I’m not sure about that actually, history tells you it often does. Rushden & Diamonds, Crawley, Fleetwood, Forest Green and Salford all bought their way out of the division. There will have been others I’ve forgotten, too.

I’m just not sure about the way Wrexham have gone about it. Having a lineup where two or three blokes earn between five and ten times the rest of the players doesn’t really scream harmony to me.

Get in 0-1  Bapaga   :)

GOOOAAAAAAAAL  going up

bapaga! 1-0

GEEEET THE FOOK IN THERE!!!!!!!!!!

Get in!!! The crowd sound incredible! 1000 fans away on a tuesday night in the conference.....incredible support

get. in!!!!!

MARINERS!

Getthefookin ⚽️🍾🥳🥳🥳

Yes Will!!!

Love Gary Henshaw’s reaction to the goal too 🙂

Good lad, Bapaga really found his confidence.

Great start, come on boys

Boom time

Bapaga is showing himself to be a real asset in these last few games. Hope his confidence and self-belief continues to grow.

excrement, Gary Henshaw bloody made me jump then!!!  ;D

Get in! Town fans sound fantastic. Press home the advantage now.

How often do we see McAtee do that? Is that the 3rd time a keeper has hit him with a clearance now?

Bapaga 2 goals and 2 pens in 90 mins (net).

This town knows
This team knows

Is it just my Humberside commentary volume that went lower after the goal?

Quoted from promotion plaice

Is it just my Humberside commentary volume that went lower after the goal?

So did mine

i thought id turned it down because of Henshaws celebration  ;D

Quoted from promotion plaice

Is it just my Humberside commentary volume that went lower after the goal?

Probably noise complaints after Gary Henshaws reaction to the goal

Quoted from promotion plaice

Is it just my Humberside commentary volume that went lower after the goal?

Complaints about the noise from the neighbours. In Scunthorpe.

Quoted from promotion plaice

Is it just my Humberside commentary volume that went lower after the goal?

Henshaw just distorted the sound equipment!!

Woking beating the Daggers, what a run their on

Quoted from RobDef1

i thought id turned it down because of Henshaws celebration  ;D

Nothing like a bias Town summariser 👍

I am absolutely loving Henshaws analysis (again)

Whats happened to the boy Tondeur, haven't heard his dulcet tons for a while

Quoted from RobDef1

I am absolutely loving Henshaws analysis (again)

I think he's the best commentator we've had in years

Quoted from buckstown

Whats happened to the boy Tondeur, haven't heard his dulcet tons for a while

He’s not well. Don’t know if it’s serious or not.

We are all over these, lets get that 2nd before half time!

Quoted from KingstonMariner

He’s not well. Don’t know if it’s serious or not.

Thats a shame, best wishes JT

Goals are on BT Sport almost live.

HT.....Altrincham 0-1 Town.

And sounds like it could have been more.

Come on Town.

Another half like that, please.

This queue for a pie is unreal. Anyone at the front get me a Balti pie and a coffee please?

Quoted from Fillipe Noche

This queue for a pie is unreal. Anyone at the front get me a Balti pie and a coffee please?

Make it a Cappuccino please Baldrick.

Quoted from WesternMariner

Make it a Cappuccino please Baldrick.

Ooh yes please

Not like the bad old days when you didn’t have to queue so long for a Nagasaki Pie or PVC Burger.

Sousa to come on yet and frighten them.

Tshimanga misses a penno for Chesterfield. Wrexham have been pants apparently, despite still being 3/1 favourites to win the league!!!

Always worry when we don't get that second while on top. Old habits die hard.

Quoted from ginnywings

Always worry when we don't get that second while on top. Old habits die hard.

You're not alone mate. I try and live my life as an optimist, but i often get slapped by life for it lol

It’s only tonight that I learnt that  ‘Altrincham’ doesn’t have a G in it

Going on other scores so far tonight even a draw would keep us top, just saying.

Quoted from WesternMariner

Make it a Cappuccino please Baldrick.

Have you got any of that brown stuff you sprinkle on the top?”

Very impressed with Henshaw but he's doing his very best to jinx this.

Town fans still in good voice

1251 Town Fans!

Thats a remarkable turnout on a wet Tuesday night.
Come on boys, reward the travelling stripes

Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis

1251 Town Fans!

F*****g hell 🙌🙌🙌

2-0 get in there

0-2  Taylor   :)

Quoted from TheRealJohnLewis

1251 Town Fans!

That is absolutely incredible. Well done all

woohoo taylor

get in, Taylor

GOOOOOal 2 - 0 up  and going up

It sounds like Altrincham can't deal with us at all! The pressing game is crazy.

Wasn’t quite paying attention there and thought it was Altrincham that had scored. Says something about the size of that magnificent away following.

1200 - Stockport
462 - Torquay
828 - Maidenhead
688 - Bromley
1251 - Altrincham

Average away attendance - 885.8

get in you beauty!

Superb

Henshaw is a great summariser. Fans sound brilliant and what a performance from the team.

This team is going up

Quoted from bradzmilne

1200 - Stockport
462 - Torquay
828 - Maidenhead
688 - Bromley
1251 - Altrincham

Average away attendance - 885.8

Was 4 of those games midweek too ?

Quoted from exiledmeggie

Goals are on BT Sport almost live.

Are they?

The fans sound AMAZING!!!

Quoted from chaos33

Are they?

yes, they've just shown the 2nd goal

Away fans average also includes the very long trip to Torquay (besides the midweek games and southern games).

3-0 ⚽⚽⚽😁😁

Get in....0-3 Clifton

holy hell :-))))

3!!!!!!!

Fúcking get in. This is amazing!!

hes one of our own...harry

easy easy

Yes H!!!

This is the real deal isn’t it?

We sound absolutely brilliant

Yes, goal shown on BT sport, during the live game, few minutes after the goal

3 - 0 going up, definitely champions in the waiting.

Fuccckking hell! Yessss! Beautiful

We're down to 10 men now 🤔

flipping hell…steady on town, let some other fornicators have a go…

bapaga sent off

Sounds like a shocking decision by the ref, Bapaga off, 2nd yellow.

Bapaga off, apparently for doing absolutely nothing. Bizarre.

Quoted from Roast Em Bobby

yes, they've just shown the 2nd goal

Can you post a link?

Sounds like a bad decision, just keep the ball now Town.

Referee feeling sorry for the home fans and gives Bapaga a needless second yellow. Absolute disgrace,

Well if that's how Henshaw described it you could not make that up. Completely shocking.

I want to see that sending off but it sounds like he did nothing wrong , hopefully they’ll get the suspension overturned

Cracking officiating in this league again…sounds a flipping woeful decision…

On par with aswad thomas getting sent off for being sat on?

Hard to keep up with the goals on the commentary and then reported on here.    Similar to the end of the first half last Sat!  (clap)(clap)

Quoted from grimps

I want to see that sending off but it sounds like he did nothing wrong , hopefully they’ll get the suspension overturned

Don’t think 2 yellows can be overturned

Let’s hope Pringle is as effective as he was for us.

Another bad ref's decision, that's got to be 3/4 in the last few games. The Sooner we're out of this league the better.

Even the first yellow sounded a bit iffy

Quoted from crusty ole pie

Don’t think 2 yellows can be overturned

I think it can be sending off sufficient. Another test for Town but one that’s not beyond us if we keep us shape.

No chance of appeal, much like the fact VAR can’t interfere with a second yellow card decision…

Quoted from Mandy Dunnit vs Hettie

Let’s hope Pringle is as effective as he was for us.

He was total garbage wasn't he - bound to score.

It doesn’t sound like a yellow and certainly not a second one. Have to wait for the video but I can’t imagine the ref has it right

Just keep us shape now.

Mentioned before Wrexham still favourites for the league??????

Cannot believe what I’ve just seen. Bapaga backing away from the thrower who purposely throws the ball into his face and he couldn’t avoid it

Appeal and overturn

Quoted from AussieMariner

Even the first yellow sounded a bit iffy

Booked him for his first foul, wasn't denying any advantage and wasn't a bad foul by the sound of it so not sure why he did it.

Quoted from DB

Another bad ref's decision, that's got to be 3/4 in the last few games. The Sooner we're out of this league the better.

Sounds a bit Wrexham that mate.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

[/b]

Sounds a bit Wrexham that mate.

😆👍

Can't appeal yellows

sodomist 1-3

Sh1t

Same ref as the one who disallowed the Stockport goal.

Sh1t

Should have been 4, come on Town.

Quoted from bawarmy

Same ref as the one who disallowed the Stockport goal.

Scouser, probably still salty that we beat them in the cup all those years back and embarrassed Liverpool.

Quoted from bradzmilne

1200 - Stockport
462 - Torquay
828 - Maidenhead
688 - Bromley
1251 - Altrincham

Average away attendance - 885.8

And 3 of those were on a Tuesday night and Torquay

Sousa coming on, yes!!!

Need sousa to run at them and frighten the crap out of them

We still sound a real threat with 10 men.

sounds like it could have been 5 or 6

Sounds like we’d have had five or six if this tw@t of a ref hadn’t tried to even things up

McAtee is giving absolutely everything to get another goal even though he sounds nackered.,

2-3 ffs

Ffs

Fuckoffucuntofaref

2-3....I'm off to hide behind the sofa

Oh sh1t

come on town

Sounds like we could’ve had a sack full, refs awful decision has seemingly caused us an issue here…

This, I did not need.

Sh!t hope the ref pleased with his work putting us down to 10 men

Sake
You know what’s gonna happen , all the refs fault

Suddenly I'm starting to know how Barnet felt

aaaah - never easy is it.... just when we were getting cocky!!!!

I'm hoping sousa running at them will create some more chances!  

Poor finishing (and obviously shite refereeing) might come back to haunt us here. Shoulda had 5 at least judging by radio comms

i think right now would be a good time for one of Sousas brilliant runs and this time with a goal at the end

Ffs catch um on the break and put this to bed plz

This is the longest 10 minutes of my life!

Quoted from dapperz fun pub

Ffs catch um on the break and put this to bed plz

This, I can’t listen anymore I’m really f*****g angry.

Just switched Humberside off, can't stand it

Quoted from HertsGTFC

This, I can’t listen anymore I’m really f*****g angry.

Hang on in there. We're winning and soon we'll have won.

Quoted from Ipswin

Just switched Humberside off, can't stand it

It’s like being at the dentist you know sooner or later it will be over.......... this is that painful

4 mins injury time 🙈

Quoted from bartgtfc

4 mins injury time 🙈

Where the intercourse are they getting 4 minutes from?

Bet theres at least 5 minutes, my heart can't take it!

Quoted from DB

Hang on in there. We're winning and soon we'll have won.

DB, your belief is bang on mate 😂

Quoted from buckstown

Bet theres at least 5 minutes, my heart can't take it!

This refs such a c**t he’ll play next goal the winner.

wrexham equalised

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

Quoted from bobbyturtle

wrexham equalised

I saw the word equalised, don’t do that again please.

Yessssss, held on in the end 😜😁⚽

and........breathe

Thanks intercourse for that

Yes Town!!

Never in doubt 🤪

Wa@@er ref

wooohoooooooo!

fabulous
onwards and upwards

Yes !! What a performance UTM

Never in doubt.

And breath!

flipping get in there Town. Love this team!

Good game

Great win, great support and we stay top 😎

Wow, what a great win

Utfm!!!!!! What a result

Very stressful 15 minutes, well done town

FFS I do not want that again ever!

Phew. Intestines can untangle now ;D

2 clear at the top

Great performance to hold on after the ref did his best to turn the game around. Showed real character tonight.

Get in Get in Get in

Couldn't listen to the last 10 minutes

Come on Town

We are the real deal this season

We won ⚽️🍾🙏

What a fantastic result, great performance and great backing from our great fans!  UTM!!

Sounds like PH is giving the ref some stick

Phew  that was hell that last 15 mins.. Well on top untill the girl private of a ref stuck his oar in .. Well held on tho in the end  but does still show we are suspect at the back at times when teams attack us . 3 point and on we go tho

Brilliant

Halifax just scored in the 100th minute for a winner

Never in doubt !

Chesterfield conceded to!

Get in! What a run we're on. Even the ref can't best us.
It would have been a travesty had we not had 3 points tonight. UTM!

Quoted from buckstown

Sounds like PH is giving the ref some stick

Can't wait for Hurst's post match interview after that, should be interesting.

Quoted from bartgtfc

Halifax just scored in the 100th minute for a winner

They came from 2-0 down AFTER they had a man sent off!

Quoted from buckstown

Sounds like PH is giving the ref some stick

I'd be beating him with the stick after that.

No man of the match, Town as a team - love this from Henshaw

Well, thank F for that. UTM!

Huge result, that's the stuff of champions. Ref needs investigating.

Excellent performance 👏

Well done to the lads , and the fans … blinding result ! safe trip home

Richly deserved,

Town fans magnificent

Ref was Ben Johnson (Canada).

Quoted from mariner91

Huge result, that's the stuff of champions. Ref needs i[/b]nvestigating[b].

I think more like castigating.

Another test passed in front of another huge away following, well done Town!!!

Safe home to everyone who’s travelled!

great result on dug in as a team, was the ref the same clown who disallowed manatees goal against stocky? UTFM

Yep. Godspeed all you magnificent supporters homeward bound, wherever that is. To all associated with GTFC tonight - we are proud of you all.
UTM

Quoted from Bristol Mariner

Ref was Ben Johnson (Canada).

It was Steven Copeland from Merseyside. Same as Stockport game.

This is fast becoming my favourite ever town team. Albeit only been going since 2004 and the Fenty era

Just seen the goals and the sending off on the TB shorts.

WTF was that second yellow for?

Quoted from Kris2

It was Steven Copeland from Merseyside. Same as Stockport game.

Apparently he told PH that the header from McAtee was stopped from being a goal by a hand but the defender was too close to McAtee for it to be a handball or a penalty.

Either way a win, still top of the league and 9 goals in 2 games.

Just seen the red card on BT Sports, Bopaga jumped up in front of their player taking a throw in, the ball hit Bopaga in the face, ref books him and he's off.

Is jumping up in front of a player taking a throw in a bookable offence? Especially if he has already been booked..

The many qualities shown during this match, and fantastic workrate, are needed by any team wanting to be champions. And holding on for a win!(angel)

Quoted from OneLove

great result on dug in as a team, was the ref the same clown who disallowed manatees goal against stocky? UTFM

Yes. He's doing this on porpoise.

Huge result that. Absolutely horrendous to listen to was that last 20 mins and I’m still feeling sick now. Hopefully later on in the season we can look back and see that this one was of the results that really helped us get a good lead.

Halifax were losing 2-0, then had a straight red in the 60th min.  With 10 men they then scored 3 late goals and won 3-2 against Notts County.

Respect!  

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Respect!  

County lost three on the spin now.

Quoted from Mariner_501

This is fast becoming my favourite ever town team. Albeit only been going since 2004 and the Fenty era

I REALLY hope you can see a great Town side. You’ve had years and years of sub-par stuff. Good on you for hanging in this long.

Us older generations never had to wait so long.

Takes a bit of pressure off the next game now, 4 points from 2 tricky away games at Altrincham and Woking would be a result in my eyes.

So what can you say? May the ref have a lousy journey home, 2 flat tyres, and run out of fuel and then he might realise how we felt with his decisions.

That's the negative out of the way. The last 2 games and 9 goals, best goal difference, the joint highest scorers in the league and we are TOP of the league. Champions in the making and Woking must be wondering how to draw with us.

You do have to feel sorry for fans of money bags Wrexham, Stockport and Chesterfield; not forgetting Notts Cty and Southend. They must all have a crick in their necks looking up at us in our league position. What we have is what they want, not 11 players on a pitch but a TEAM.

Well done to all the team tonight and not forgetting our marvelous traveling army of fans, may they return home safely. I'm sure their voices in the last few minutes helped the team secure another win and continue another run of good results.

Quoted from TownSNAFU5

Halifax were losing 2-0, then had a straight red in the 60th min.  With 10 men they then scored 3 late goals and won 3-2 against Notts County.

Respect!  

I can see us having 4-5000 at Halifax on Boxing Day

I am cold, I am wet, but whp cares what  a performance!

Without Altringhams 12th Man we'd of won that 6 or 7 nil.

Great performance overall, Waterfall,  Towler, Bapa, Taylor and McAfee stand outs once again. Our midifeld  did what our midifeld does, runs and runs and runs.

Macca unlucky with both goals

McAfee, shouldn't if dicked about and just buried it at 3-2 and finished them off

Ref was excrement , really excrement. Thier player slips, wraps his hands round the ball and pulls it under his body apparently not handball.

Thats all for now hard to type while bouncing round in the car

Quoted from Kris2

It was Steven Copeland from Merseyside. Same as Stockport game.

He prefers tennis by the look of his twitter account. Cockwomble should stick to that.

Quoted from Grimal

I think more like castigating.

Don't you mean castrating ?

Quoted from Caveman

Don't you mean castrating ?

Both would be favourable. ;D

I actually look forward to going to watch Town again, who'd have thought it.

Quoted from HertsGTFC

Apparently he told PH that the header from McAtee was stopped from being a goal by a hand but the defender was too close to McAtee for it to be a handball or a penalty.

Isn't stopping a goal with a hand supposed to be an automatic sending off? I didn't know that was up to the ref to decide.

Quoted from Kris2

Isn't stopping a goal with a hand supposed to be an automatic sending off? I didn't know that was up to the ref to decide.

Depends which side of the Pennines your from by the looks of it.

Great result! Great game! Great TEAM!!

The second goal looks a very, very weak one to concede.

Love the pace at which it looks like we were playing on the counter or when we won the ball high up the pitch. Henshaw was very impressed in commentary too.

From the Altrincham forum tonight. Nice to have some positive comments after last season.

"We fought hard in that second half to get back into the game so credit to the lads there. I thought Grimsby were excellent tonight, quick on the ball and didn't give us any time or space until they went down to 10. Definitely the best side I've seen this season and truthfully speaking probably had a bit too much for us before the red.

As some have said already 3 points from these last 2 games is a superb return overall, especially as we've played two league leaders in the space of a few days. I'd imagine Parky will be trying to rotate the squad just enough to try and ensure we don't suffer a bit of burnout like we did last season whilst ensuring we continue to put in these excellent performances.

Unbelievable support from them too bringing that many but also 1600 Alty fans for a Tuesday night is something I don't think I've ever seen for a league game before"

TFFT

That is all !

Fantastic result, no away game is easy, draws away and wins at home are good enough, away wins, happy days.
