    Definitely a red. You just can’t launch yourself like that in todays game.Off the floor and reckless/out of control.

    Truth. Don’t know what’s happened to you.

    You have given up on the club. No fight and certainly no desire.

    Why would he change a habit of a lifetime, he's always been Mr Controversial when he's refereed us especially at Valley Parade "I'm not going to let a big crowd influence me"

    Some very good points there Fordy.

    Main one is the lack of interest from our owner which could manifest into lack of sufficient funds to back Adams in the January window. This league is the weakest for years in my opinion and we should have walked the Autos this season. Still plenty of time of course to mount a challenge and I think Adams is the right manager at the helm to give us that chance.

    Agree the league table doesn't lie, I couldn't believe my eyes when a poster said were still only 3 points from a play off place.
    As you say with regards the league it looks very weak with every team being able to beat each other, as poor as we've been FGR, Swindon, Port Vale and yesterday Northampton have not shown why they are has high in the league when playing against us, IMO Hartlepool have got to rank as the best footballing team I've seen at Valley Parade this season.

    You still haven’t answered my 242 Fordy so I assume you know so little of how the Club runs your pontification are empty wafts of non factual hot air. I don’t expect any substantive answer just more meaningless ranting when you think I’ve forgotten you haven’t any answers because you simply have no facts I ask you again, we have 2 Directors and a CEO. Who are these others you think should go from the payroll?

    A simple question. Do we have any players who the current top seven would want to sign? Damn it, but I'm struggling.

    Ah the wonder that is gamesmanship! If they do it to us, they're snide cheating bastards. We do it to them and it's brilliant game management. It's part and parcel of the game, always has been, always will be. Managers like Brady who complain about it are hypocritical bastards who also do anything they can to get the three points without getting half their team booked or sent off.

    Looks like we might have been lucky there, but Northampton manager and his teams gamesmanship was in full flow - perhaps if they hadn't tried to milk everything this key decision would have been viewed differently.

    As posted yesterday the standard of refereeing (for ALL teams) seems to be getting worse in the lower leagues, but one defence I will give them is I think the directions on 'a bit more physical leniency ' are so vague they don't really know what they are doing anymore

    I'd love to see a referee with b******s and as yesterday ever decision was question (by both sides) he gestures go away or I'll book you and as they continue pull the yellow card out, they would soon back off.

    Adams has taken over control of football matters from Sparks? You are questioning that yet you have said in the past the CEO shouldn't be involved in football matters anyway.

    The FA could solve alot of this overnight, but have continually been to craven or couldn't care less. To wit, a la Rugby Union, only the captain is allowed to approach or question the referee.

    The referee was poor, plus he had obviously told his assistants what to flag for and what not to flag for.
    Gillead had every right to go for that ball with the keeper and barely caught him yet he gets booked. Then in the aftermath their player pushes Gillead in the chest with both hands and no action is taken, I thought that was a sending off offense.

    I thought that was the case after the Man United episode many years when 6/7 United players surrounded Andy D'Urso.
