I still say their goal at the Ricoh should never have been allowed, their player's tackle on Grimmer was out of control, and it took Griimmer out.
We got a bit lucky with our penalty but it only evened things up as far as I could see.
They had it in their mind that they were cheated out of a...
I was there, I don't remember the goals all being scored from outside the box, but you could be right, they were all good goals. It was 1968 I believe. I remember one of Hateley's goals being similar to Keith Houchen's cup final goal

The object is survival, this season it doesn't matter how we do it, we can save our fancy football for next season.
This thread should be a sticky, it shows us exactly where we are at any point.
At the moment we are on target.
I'm not sure why some of us have a go at other posters just for expressing an opinion.
Today felt like a win to me despite the dodgy penalty, but player ratings are subjective, and the result often affects opinions, particularly an unexpected win or loss.
