Cheers mate.

Its the fact it was Lisa's stuff that makes it so annoying. If they'd took the safe and the game's I really wouldn't have given a toss but to turn the place over and take her stuff really is upsetting.

Never seen it before!

I've got a spare copy of the video from the season McFraud cheated the rest of the league out of a fair title race though, a couple of quid and its anyones.

Yeah we won 3 - 0 I think. Big Dave Adamson won eveything so Cookie
hardly had a save to make 

It was a long time after Big Dave hung his boots up!

It would have been mid - late 80's, we were 2-0 up when he went in goal and we hung on to win 2-0. I'd say it was 86/7 season.

Big Dave went in goal in the last match of the 1970's, a 3-1 home win over Bangor when Gerry Stewart went off injured. He let in a soft goal right at the end but had a good game.

Good old Dave.

Those two would shit on anyone to get a shin up the ladder, what they did was wrong, after the support they've had from Dave the least they could have done was see the season out.

I hope he sues the arses off the pair off them and Grim Town.

My thoughts too John.

We were in a terrible mess on the field when they came in and they've almost got us back where we belong, in The Conference National.

They might not be everyones cup of tea personality wise, Scott especially, but  football management is'nt about popularity, its about winning games and with a 63%? success rate you can't really fault them.

They'll be a hard act to follow for sure.

The kind of common sense move I'd expect from David Newton.

Best of luck to them.

And reading between the lines it seems there's only one boss at York St, good on ya' Dave, don't let the greedy b'astards trample all over you.

The B-Ark / Re: Rotherham sack manager

« on: March 22, 2011, 07:16:08 AM »

Sacking Ronnie Moore seems a strange decision with RUFC in the play off places and with a chance of automatic promotion very much alive. If its a reaction to the draw with Barnet and the thrashing at Chesterfield its knee jerk in the extreme.

Could you see our board making that kind of decision?

Would you want to work for those kind of employers?

And Grimsby's hardly a model of stability is it?

I thought their no5 was excellent, if we didn't have such a solid back line I'd be looking at us taking him on.

We looked all over the place but the mark of a good side is getting something out of a game when you play poorly; I don't think we could have had too many complaints if we'd lost today but 10 points out of 12 from the 4 home games will do for me.

Just one grumble.The programme. £2.50 for something with no relevance to recent events. Ok so I can take on board the fact we'd lose money on a reprint but to just stick a new cover round it was poor. A quid would have been plenty.

Surely rather than giving that bastard any exposure you can highlight a few of the caretaker managers we've had or even a few of the assistants? What about various trainers, characters like Don Robinson?

Most people want to say goodbye to bad rubbish as far as Evans and his cronies are concerned, does the club programme really want to be smeared with that toxic waste of space?

Keith was still manager for the FA Trophy game v Scarborough on the 1st of Feb and presumably the replay too which we lost. The Fleetwood programme for the 8th mentions printing deadlines and so the replay result wasn't noted but Keith was still listed as manager.

However, 7 days later on the 15th its Wilko's name in the managers column but no mention of any managerial shake up. Its my guess he left after the Scarborough defeat had effectively ended the season.

I thought it was our best home display of the season, there were several candidates for MotM, Green,Austin, Boyes and Pearson all had really good games.

Droylesden were a decent side too so it makes the win all the sweeter. 2 wins and a draw for the next 3 home games will do nicely.
