Sorry haven't got a link but....
Watched it on iFollow, good and honest interview on how it went and where we are.
What was the "we might end up having the world record sub, Tony Ford's still got it" bit all about though?

Youngest Town player?
Is it just me or is anyone else finding his interviews a bit tiresome. Constantly whinging, moaning and complaining. Smacks of Paul Hurst. Just get on with it. Things are as they are and every team is in the same boat.

I like IH's interviews on the whole but he does tend to get tetchy over a few trivial things. He tried to make out the Limbrick thing was simple and couldn't understand the fuss, or why it was such a discussion on social media.
Fans like to know what's going on, they put a lot of money into the club. Therefore, when something's missing and no one clarifies the issue, tongues are gonna wag and the media is going to pick up on the rumours and ask questions.
Fair enough, he doesn't think it's a big deal, but you like to think that he can understand why the fans were asking questions.

Holloway said, quite rightly, that a statement should have been made much sooner. If a journalist hears something, it's their job to report it once they've checked with sources. Let's face it, if it was all kept hush, the question would have been asked about his whereabouts in the post match interview anyway.

Ollie won’t be too fussed now. Next round would have seen us home to Oldham. Might as well put the free time to good use getting the fitness levels up and letting the squad get to know each other

In some ways I agree, it should have been handled faster as far as making a statement but I think fans of this club can be very demanding and entitled,especially when it comes to wanting to know everything about the inner workings of the club. I spend a lot of money at Tesco per year but I don't demand to know every single detail of what goes on in the boardroom and why they are making certain choices or why Bill from security was let go. It has less to do with money and more with wanting to know just because the fans want to know everything just because. There are times I think supporters should just support the club and the team and act less like they are an important shareholder or a journalist. Even journalists can be dicks to football clubs and insist on picking on every tiny detail to catch them out.

Why? Surely the club needs every £ it can get (or is all the whinging about finances totally untrue?) Newcastle United in round 3 would have been nice

That analogy doesn't work for me. If you don't like the way Tesco do things, you can go elsewhere. You haven't got the lifelong emotional attachment and have plenty of other places you can buy your spuds. We have a board, most of whom have put in very little investment, making decisions that not all fans agree with. Fans should know what's going on, especially since it's mainly our money they are playing with.

Providing that the supporters are allowed back in?

There were unconfirmed rumours of taking damaged biscuits home, but I have it on good authority that he had got a bit comfy in his role and put a bit of weight on and as a result couldnt chase or keep on top of the shoplifters. Loss by theft had risen by 25% in the first quarter of this year.

But if we were in the draw wouldn't we have been a different number to Morecambe if it's numbered alphabetically?
