I had the honour to be in the company of two Rotherham fans last Saturday.  The subject of SE came up. They both said they would welcome him back. Then like magic he returns.  I rang my mate and said be careful what you wish for.

Very disappointing performance yesterday. The result gives us a lot to do. If by some miracle we do go up, I think we will struggle big time. I see Kidderminster have been relegated. A big call out to the big crowd yesterday, and to the 200+ Scarborough fans who made the long journey.

Now the bus WAS a dubious one, only because I'd heard they'd refused alternative transport to stick beside their stricken coach!

I'd travelled across from Nottingham for that game and found it was off as I supped my first pint in the Pilgrim Lounge...

I remember on the day Spenny’s keeper was injured, their emergency loan keeper missed the bus, and their (presumably) reserve keeper was tweeting about which outfielder was going to play in goal, as none of their 3 keepers would be at Boston.
Now, all of this might be completely made up, but that’s what I heard that weekend. Far fetched though it was, maybe it could have been the case.

The striker was also suspended.

The B-Ark / OT Conspiracy theories

« on: April 10, 2024, 01:22:09 PM »

On the Spennymoor thread I confessed I was a big fan of Conspiracy theories. This does not mean I believe them, but some provide so much evidence it makes you question some of the mainstream facts.

Some of the main conspiracy theories doing the rounds are of course, Did we land on the moon? Was it the Titanic which sank or he sister ship? Was 9/11 a US government ploy to invade Iraq? My favourite one at the moment is, is the moon artificial put there by Aliens?

The reasoning behind this theory is the sheer coincidence of the moon being where it is and the size it is.
The moon is in the most optimum position to most benefit the earth. It is exactly 400 times smaller than the sun. It's 400 times nearer the earth than the sun. This is why it exactly covers the sun in a solar eclipse.

The odds apparently of all this happening are twenty two trillion to one. I don't believe any of the above, but just heading off to Loch Ness

I love a good conspiracy theory, and Spennymoor seems to provide ammunition at least once a season.  My first thought  was that they were upto their old tricks.  But other matches in the area were also called off, including Gateshead. So Spennycheat, I  will give you the benefit of the doubt. Only because I can't see what advantage it would give you. Maybe the bus will break down on the way to the match on Thursday ( even though they're at home ). Then I will smell a rat

For strikers in form, they were very poor.

I understand you’re allowed your opinion, but to be critical of 2 strikers who’ve scored 20 between them in the last 10 games is a little unfair.

I was talking about their performance in the match, not about the previous three matches.  They were very poor, and as IC said in his interview " we would not have scored if we played all day " They both missed chances they would have put away last week.  Hopefully just a glitch.

Not pretty, but much needed three points. A very card happy referee ( Harry Jones ) did his best to spoil the match. He was the same last time he reffed us. I see Scunthorpe are doing their best to stay in this league .

Wow what a result, I was not expecting that.  Well done lads, it cements our place in the playoffs ( barring a disastrous run in.) Also well done to all those that went, I could hear you singing all the way back here.
