If they'd been that fussed, all that stopped them was a barrier that my dear old Nan could have hurdled, even in her best frock. What they really wanted was for everyone to applaud their mental and physical fortitude. It was deeply embarrassing for them personally, it reflected badly on us as a club and it made us look a right tin-pot outfit. I mean, who the f*** is bothered enough about Telford, who are, if we're honest, a pub side, to want to have it out with a couple of their fans?

I hope we get Millwall away in the Cup...

Matt.
:goodpost: just a shame the pub team beat us. Where is green street incidentally?

Telford are a pub side who beat us. No excuses - it doesn't matter who we have beaten and how many minutes we havn't conceded a goal for.
So they wound us up? - well it worked didn't it? Players getting sent off for no apparent good reason. Downes has had a good season so getting himself sent off in the ninety second minute is just ludicrous.
At least Pearce will get a long overdue game.

Who was the guy from Torquay that lead both of the players off when sent off. He looked like a YTS apprentice on his first day at work(except his age)?

Where it is, is irrelevant. Where it leads to and ends is an anonymous lane near the village of Rettendon in Essex.

Maybe Ricey could be more decisive in his area, the back four could be tighter when covering, and Young and Chappell must play further up - it's no wonder the front men can't play, they're always chasing long balls launched at them from the defence

Rice didn't command the box today. Never on any corner/cross did he attempt to catch the ball. Just how did he keep a clean sheet in last 5 games, today we where a shambles.

One of the lads trying to look hard today was none other than the very same person who, shall we say, had an incident with a Wimbledon coach last season....great to see him back

After the match, we saw this same group of drunk ASBO's hanging around outside the ground, looked like they were having a pop at a group of Asian lads, although to be fair I could not be certain as the traffic speed had picked up. At first we thought they were Shrewsbury fans as they looked so out of place in last years designer gear, but I recognised at least 6 of them as regulars at Plainmoor

It was also nice to see a **** from the olden days, last seen chucking bottles at Bath City in the FA CUP proudly wearing his Torquay colours

perhaps we should be more concerned as if we get a reputation for being dickheads then believe me, places like Halifax and Welling may not be so pleasant to visit

Apologies if I've missed this, but does anyone know whether or not the team travelled up on the day?

This is so scary. Unfortunately the morons creating this trouble will not be reading this as probably they cant read anyway. Useless embarrassing tossers.
If only they would leave our club and DON'T come back

Megalolz.

You've not seen much of us this season, have you?

The plain fact is that Rice hasn't commanded his area all season. He has made a few good stops which is his strength but coming off his line and catching or punching the ball he is hopeless at. Couple this with his woeful kicking and we just havn't got a league winning goal keeper I'm afraid.
Rice has excelled all expectations but a keeper who leaves his central defenders to deal with the ball even in the six yard area is always an accident waiting to happen.
He has got away with it so far this season but got found out bigstyle yesterday.
Trying to make it sound like a positive that we have lost our winning run is just plain daft. Of course we were going to lose sometime but we were 2-1 up against the bottom team who havn't won a game all season and our bottom of a league consisting of half the teams in it who are completely hopeless.
That is a giveaway.
