    Please feel free to research further. I don’t think the Police were involved it was handled by the FA. This was before the “politically correct gang” was a thing. Under reporting of indecent exposure was a “thing” It is criminal offence so rather than being overplayed he was very lucky.

    It's more about his comment of it being "Abject failure" from Evans whilst almost suggesting Hughes is over achieving or at least on track.

    Evans has Stevenage in 3rd whilst playing less games that those around him while we're just on the coat tails of the playoffs? It's a ridiculously slanted view at this moment in time.

    I thought the first half was average at best but the second half we pretty much controlled the game, I nearly posted at half time what did Costelloe offer the team but playing towards the City fans second half he grafted and was quite a hand full for the Doncaster defenders.
    Cracking away day with the Dolly boys unfortunatly as we spoke about on the phone it will be me my last until after my op.
    With regards Cook as you say with the right service he'll score goals for us, he knows his limitations but he's certainly a hand full in the air.

    Yet another Clayton corner, lad's been superb - aside from the Barrow game

    Wouldn't mind seeing a goal or two from open play at Gillo mind

    The more I see of him, the more I think he's just as pivotable a signing as Lewis

    I read that as 'from' Gillo at first and though you'll be waiting a long time for Gillead to get 2!

    Give over.
    They didn't have a sniff 2nd half and we won in 1st gear.
    I was there.
    We were unlucky not to score 2 and get a penalty for clear handball

    How I miss Dimitrys videos as you can recall incedents like your above with regards the good saves Mitchell made.

    i sometimes wonder what goes through managers heads. Why on earth would you play George Miller as a target man, he has no attributes at all to play that role. Some would say he has very little other attributes, Doncasters performance reminded me of ours against Barrow, a manager who couldn't see what was wrong. Then they bring the long haired sub on and he looked a threat on the left for the time he was on. I'm really hoping Hughes can get us on a good run now and take us out of this division because the standard of football at times is appalling. After yesterdays win anything gained on Tuesday is a bonus, even a point gives us a 2 point per game haul off the two away games.

    I agree about their winger being a real threat. He is Todd Miller on loan from Brighton. As you say very odd that he wasn't brought on sooner. Better than their other Miller, that's for sure.

    Over the remaining 15 games, then if we could get 2 points a match, both home and away, then there is a good chance we could get an automatic place. All ‘ifs, buts and maybes’. I have followed City for far too long and just can see it happen.

    wtaf? Sure we're all guilty of a little indecent exposure and tax evasion. Nothing to see here.

    Just got back and amazed at some of the comments on here. 2nd half in particular Costello did really well and gave us options going forward. Clearly has a football brain and just needs to build his confidence imo

    If you say so...

    However, I'll just provide this from their recent match at Stockport which says the opposite...

    Steve Evans handed Toby Savin his debut at Edgeley Park, the on-loan Accrington Stanley man getting the nod ahead of Adam Przybek as replacement for Jokull Andre's son...Stevenage threw everything forward at this stage but were undone by a hash of a clearance by their new goalkeeper.

    He sliced it out to the right to an unmarked blue shirt and with the defence nowhere, the cross was tapped into an empty net by Rydel
    .
    As I said, he's faffing around with the formation and players and it ain't working.

    The whole team, inc keepers isn’t performing. 2 points out of 15 says so. Just like we aren’t performing at home, yet we grind out ( good) results away.

    [QUOTE="Bantam@{Lancs}, post: 728752, member: 169". As regards his fraud history, I've no doubt it was probably just undeclared income uncovered by the tax man of which I'm pretty sure most of us on here could hold our hands up to being guilty of at one time or another.[/QUOTE]

    Blimey. Not sure what job you have, but if you are ‘guilty’ of Tax Evasion you risk being taken to court.

    Look Evans was ‘convicted’ of a criminal offence. He was lucky to receive a none custodial sentence.

    If you read the history, you can see he apparently set out to deliberately evade paying Tax. This wasn’t someone who forgot to declare some earnings.

    He was convicted by a court of a criminal act. The burden of proof is ‘beyond reasonable doubt’.

    Not only did the Courts find him guilty so did the FA.

    There is no record that I am aware of, that he tried to appeal his conviction.

    Here is a very reasonable summary. http://twohundredpercent.net/steve-evans-football-manager-convicted-criminal/

    It gets very worrying when people try to ‘down play’ criminal behaviour.[/USER]
