    No they weren't "lunging crude" tackles.

    Did you see the game or are you guessing just to back up your recent crusade against Fordy?

    No and no.I read the reports .

    Happy to read YOUR match narrative, assuming you are happy to recount your observations.

    Oh and I started my crusade with Fordy years ago…do keep up Monkey please, you seem to be off it this morning? He can fight his own corner

    Still awaiting your answers Fordy or have you gone shy for the second time in 24 hours.

    The season can't start soon enough, these threads have become rather tedious. Shame because Adams has us set up well.

    It's non stop bickering from a small number of posters who regard themselves as adults. Most of it seems intent on getting a rise from another poster who happens to have a different view to them. As you say, it's tedious and detracts from the discussion. It's time for them to grow up and stop the bickering on this thread and others.

    I'm not even sure what there is to bicker about. Pre season has generally been very good, we seem to have built a competitive squad with a chance of still bringing in 1 or 2 more in. Can't remember the last time we went into a season so well prepared. Too much moaning for my liking.

    He seemed steady away. Can't remember him getting much further forward than the half way line but looked solid defensively up to half time.

    Second half we didn't dominate as much and they got a fair bit of ball in from their right. Difficult to tell whether that was a lack of cover or poor defending from him though when stood on the away terrace. It doesn't offer the best of views to the other end of the pitch.

    There's no narrative Kev.

    They were simply just cynical fouls as we were breaking away. Worthy of yellows but certainly not crude lunges as you described.

    The only crude tackle I witnessed was on Sutton and certainly looked high and dangerous but surprisingly the ref didn't even give a foul so perhaps it wasn't as bad as it looked from my angle.

    Answer to what?

    It’s embarrassing that you are trying to make out pre season games are not a friendly game

    I’m never shy.

    Oh!

    Match report was what was expected. I do it for the southernmost games I attend, otherwise it’s ifollow or match reports from those that attended.

    Yes it’s tedious, downright tedious. If one permits contributions purely designed to antagonise that’s what happens. You know and I know it’s disguised as differing opinion. Yet when that opinion contradicts itself from one day to the next one turns a blind eye. Stop it and it will stop being tedious. Right?

    So you watched Coleman’s interview, let’s take this step by step. Yes or no?

    I’ve explained this before. I will do it again just for you.

    Coleman like Adam before when we lost to Chesterfield was just putting on a show. Both teams lost to league below and unfortunately now so don’t get what pre season is about so the managers both came out like losing was the worst thing on earth.

    However, in the dressing room and at home it will be a different story.

    Surely if you have every played the game that you know managers sometimes say one thing to the public and another to the players in private. You get that don’t you?
