Match Thread Home v Forest Green Rovers Fri 2nd April @ 3pm

Oh don’t rub it in, I’m staying off reading this column. I’m sure he will , preferably tonight cos there is nothing for me to turn the box on for!! @Dmitry

 

That's exactly what you said in 2013. You also predicted relegation from L1 in 2013/14 & 2015/16. You only got it right last season when a blind man with learning difficulties could tell we were going down. You also said that Jake Reeves would never play for us again and still haven't provided proof that you paid up our bet to the Burns Unit.
Let's be honest, your predictions are not very good, are they? You may be right about playoffs this season but, if you are, it'll be more by luck than judgement.
What's the betting you fail to reply to this post as you always do when reminded about paying your Jake Reeves bet.

 

If i'd made a bet with someone on a forum and not shown evidence i'd paid it if i'd lost, i wouldn't keep going on that forum.

 

I doubt it. Cook's was definitely an OG. But Rowe's shot was on target before it was defected, even if it might have been saved. If the shot is deflected it's only given as an OG if the shot would have missed the goal without the deflection, so it would be given as Rowe's goal, deflection or not.

 

Given the form it would take to reach the players and the very strong record we have against teams in the top 7 under T&S, we'd have to be favourites if we managed to reach the play-offs. It's getting there which is going to be difficult, with there only being probably 1 spot left with 3-4 going for it and with Orient in particular doing well between us and it

 

They looked like we did under McCall at the beginning of the season, passing pretty patterns around but no out ball so we were able to just wait until they passed themselves into trouble and pounce on the mistakes

 

Perhaps it was just his reaction that made me think he didn't think it was his. If he scores a hat trick on Monday, do you think he might smile?

 

Respect to you.

 

For anyone who wants to see Rowe smile after scoring.

 

I can definitely go a salmon pattie, RCB.

 

The Don has been a revelation as No 10 in the last two games. Not saying he'll continue to start every game, but I think he'll play an important part in our last nine matches.

It was interesting that Trueman said in his last interview before the FGR game that yes, there was a points target they were looking for, but it was being kept 'in house'.

 

From a coaching pov, I always like to hear T&S talk a lot about what they're trying to get the players do out of possession, as much as in it.

 

Right sorry I've bitten again . What the fecks a pattie? Is it one of those poncy southern things made of mashed potato and parsley? I'm sure I've never seen one in a Bradford chippy

 

It's a North of the Border delicacy. My son lives in Edinburgh and loves em. But dinna worry ahar, he's a Yorkshire born lad so still loves his Yorkie fishcakes.

 

Jeez, we're doing it again! You and I'll get lobbed off Bantam Talk for our fish related debates, mate. 4-1. Well happy.

 

His side were second best on the day. Who's in charge of a team? The manager. Mark Cooper had a long history of blaming everyone else.

 

Only a bit of light humour but @Kevin1954 and yourself, certainly having diary issues at the moment!

 

I think it's safe now in this thread...the match is so yesterday!

But not the debate. Just to muddy the waters further, here's the Grauniad calling a fishcake a patty:

Over here the two terms are pretty well interchangeable.

Having looked at the replays over and over, I still can't make up my mind if it was Cook or OG -- I think it just might have been Cook, as his foot was right behind the opponent's.

RCB

 

Cant argue that at all Dave? I am still razzed off.! Not read the thread since my comment only picking up on responses. Other than the score, I know nothing. Just waiting for Dmitry.
