That was horrendous - we should be embarrassed!

[Neville's Breakfast]

What caused the rugby scrum of police and stewards ejecting one of our fans after one of their goals ? Seemed like his wife was right in the middle trying to pull him back. What on earth had happened ?

 

[Kosh]

Blimey!, so all this outrage about a game that you didn't even see!?

What?!? So listening to the radio it's impossible to form a valid opinion? Better tell radio 5 they've been wasting their time for decades.

If I were a visually impaired fan, and I said the same of yesterday - and yes I'd been 'there' would you think it so 'clever' to declare my opinion null and void? Careful now...

I wondered that as the police seemed to approach fairly calmly knowing who they were going to eject. My guess was that they'd identified him, via CCTV, as having thrown the smoke bomb earlier.

 

[Baldseagull]

I did 'listen' to the whole game and formed an opinion, like most humans would, based on the expert commentary. We were not 'clearly' the best team... let's be honest it WAS an awful performance and even if I hadn't heard or indeed seen the match losing 3-1 considering the gulf between the clubs... well; it would be a very fair assumption that we'd been less than the 'better team.'

I look forward to Thursday and to crushing Huddersfield, as so many are certain we shall.

Want to bet that if we beat Hudds you will eat any hat, other than the big Ritchie Blackmore one you should be marinading by now for the end of the season?

Can you name one or two then that are certain we'll beat Huddersfield ?

I haven't seen anyone say that, but I'd like to congratulate them on their unshakable belief

Heh heh the funny thing is, I look forward to eating my Ritchie Blackmore hat, I really do. I think I'll fill it with a nice pasta and tuck in... hmmmmm hat pasta.

I don't wish, as I've said, to compare yesterday's car crash with the whole season - but we have no devine right to beat anyone, and to assume we'll bounce right back on Thursday, well it smacks of arrogance. I take no pleasure in defeat - hence my reaction to this one, but let's just say the hat remains on ice until it becomes impossible to blow it 'mega' styleeeeee.

Not even close to relevant I'm afraid.

Forgive me, but comments such as..."It's been a while since I've been so overwhelmingly angry at a performance" usually come from someone who's spent a bit of time and money actually bothering going to the game.

Failing that, someone who at least bothered to find one of the numerous live tv streams available.

You're of course entitled to an opinion just from listening to the game on the radio. I'm just surprised by such hyperbole when you haven't even seen the performance for yourself.

Errmmm read the thread again and tell me that several contributors haven't insinuated at the very least: "that Thursday will be different..." etc. Errmmmm different how? Opponents, ok, weather? Possibly... I think we both know those people are suggesting victory with our actual 'proper' team.

Let's just see what happens...

Quite,i for once am a little nervous,purely based on their recent climb back up the table and our sudden run of defeats (i know) besides right now,be more than happy to take a point.

Lincolnshire police on a big day out. Also the blue smoke bomb was on the left-hand side in the last block we had fans in nearest the entrance. Power house police officers and stewards excessively removed someone from the second to last right block.

It was certainly a little surreal as was the lad who jumped on the goal net after we scored. He crouched for a few seconds a little unsure I guess as to what to do next. I would imagine the idea seemed a lot better in his head than was the reality !

Ok I'll bite ...cant see one post on the thread that says we will 'crush Huddersfield' ... tough game ..draw will be a result

 

[Justice]

Think it will cost Lincoln promotion this season they will never win the cup and are in a horrendous league to get out of.

Can someone tell me why listening to football on the radio doesn't count anymore? Nah I'm not having it. Anyho, watching the 'highlights' confirmed my ability to 'picture' the game in my hyperbolic mind more than adequately...

We were shocking.

It will be different because it will be a different team that we field, one that has, by all accounts, done pretty well in the form table over the last 27 games!

Clearly, losing to Lincoln shows we have no divine right to beat anyone, but on the whole, we have beaten whoever we have been playing, more often than we haven't. Any draw or defeat has been followed by a win the next game, except for the back to back Newcastle and Brentford defeats, and there was a fortnight between those 2 games. We generally bounce back well.

 

[sydney]

Doesn't reflect well on the reserves that they got beaten by a non league team. I don't actually care but it sounds like a piss poor result to me, not caring doesn't make it ok

pretty much this although hemed and murphy were obvioulsy brought on for a reason..........bad result but if we can get 4 points from our next 2 fixtures then it will be forgotten. just look at liverpool.....now that's a bad result.....!!

Hi Drew, i believe in momentum. They have it, we no don't. Murray and Norwood and Hemed will most likely play a part. I sincerely hope I'm wrong, but I think we'll lose come Thursday... then our 'performance' of yesterday will be bitterly relevant to so many more than today.

I'd rather have won 4-0 with the first team out, would you not?

 

[Neville's Breakfast]

We were listening to BBC Radio Lincolnshire on the way out of town and they were saying there is a 'war chest' of a million quid from the cup run and they are looking to sign four players. If they back the manager they have a great chance as he is doing a great job. Make no mistake they played well yesterday. The result wasn't all about our performance. A lot of credit needs to go to Lincoln's management, players and their fans (who created a great atmosphere). I think that if they buy well then their promotion prospects will be enhanced by the Cup run.
