Fairytale of New York Stadium!


I quite like Steve Evans purely because he's pretty much been promoted through every division starting from about tier 9.

No one can doubt that he's a capable manager, and some (grudging) respect should be given to those abilities.

But he is a criminal, convicted on his own admission. He shouldn't be allowed to take part in football in any way after the Boston fiasco. Then there's his touchline behaviour. I have no problem with passion, but I do have a serious problem with bullies, and he's a bully. He's been removed from a ground with a game in progress by the police in the past because of his touchline behaviour, as well as having been sent to the stands however many times. He was probably lucky to avoid police involvement when he exposed himself to a female Bradford City official (for which he got the 6 match stadium ban the other year) after being directly involved in a mass punch-up.

Pretty much everyone here will agree with me when I say there's a difference between being a good man inside football and being a good man out of it, and one doesn't affect the other. Steve Evans is not a good man either in the game or out of it. He's a crook, a liar, and a bully. And he has no place in the game of football.

Here here.

Lincs derby day for us tomorrow, Lincoln at home, time to avenge the defeat at their place earlier this season. They refused to play us on the traditional Boxing Day fixture this year (probably to avoid the Christmas stuffing) opting to play Alfreton instead, so hoping to put a few past them tomorrow! Up the Mariners!

Mansfield at home tomorrow. Going to be very cold and very boring probably. Re: Evans. Flitcroft and him are good mates, that's the reason why we always get his players on loan although Steve regularly trolls Flickers because most of them are shit.

Flitcroft out.

Home to Oxford, people expecting a 10,000+ crowd (wut?) so I'm half tempted to leave early to make sure I can park on the side streets like usual, but then I know I'll get there early and it'll be dead because no cunt is coming as per.

Isn't he 'good mates' with everybody?

No game for us today. We're at home to Oldham, tomorrow, for some unknown reason.

It is a running "joke" here that we send all our shit players to Bury...

Regarding Evans.. I couldn't care less about what happened before he came to RUFC, since he joined us, we went from mid table League 2 to being in the Championship in the 2 and a half years he has been here.

I'd rather have a "crook" in charge and be in the Championship then being stuck in League 2 like we were for 5-6 years.

Walsall climbing the table rapidly at the moment, stuffing MK Dons 3-0 today. Just three points off of the play-off places now.

So you'd like to sign Ched Evans, a convicted and unrepentant rapist, because he'd keep you in the Championship? Sometimes principles matter far more than the standard of football being played.

Anyway, we won, and deservedly. Looked like a long afternoon when we made a mess of a) defending a bloody kick-off and b) the resultant free-kick to go a goal down inside 40 seconds. But we battled back and got the equaliser. Lennon's moaning about Heskey having one ruled out for offside, but he looked several yards off, didn't moan, and had pretty much stopped before the whistle had gone before sticking it past Alex (who had also stopped). He's also moaning about our winner, which he has more of a point about, but to be fair to Hogg, the ball was blasted at him from about two yards away when it hit his arm. We got the break and scored, which is a nice break of fortune, and no less than we deserved. I think Alex only had one real save to make (though it was a game-changer, as had Gudjohnsen scored it would have put them 2 up), whereas Lonergan was busy throughout. Butterfield's goal was a cracker, snap-shot on the half-volley from the edge of the area, and Nahki took his ever so well after a goal drought.

Yes. He is a very well known manager and respected coach in the English league sytem and therefore it is obvious that his current tenure in League Two is just a short-term stint on uncle Dave's way to the top. Although, Keith Hill remains the love of his life

Our opponents buckle themselves with laughter I can tell you. Nardiello and Hylton were good but Milson and Loach.. what the hell?!

-------------------

Anyway, we beat Mansfield 2-0 with goals from Ryan Lowe and Danny Mayor. Mansfield were horrible and their keeper looked terrible and made a mess out of Hope's shot which Lowe converted to make it 1-0. Three points but we need to raise our game if we want to go up. Flitcroft out.

Comparing a rapist to a guy who essentially paid 'boot money' is a bit much.

Ate to many burgers with Steve Evans and now he's lost it. Joking aside, he was already suffering from low confidence which was further destroyed by the car crash of a defence he had in front of him in his two games here. That, and his awful awful kicking, which cost us the game against Cambridge were the reason why every Bury fan was glad to see the back of him.

Sad demise from being in the same Under-21 Euro final as Manuel Neuer to not even making League Two anymore

Decent point yesterday! First half we were shocking. Simon Eastwood back in goal again played a blinder making 2 brilliant saves! He also made other good saves! Second half we were alot better they still had the best chance though as Kike hit the post and Bamford put the rebound over when the net was open. Gestede had a header cleared off the line in stoppage time and we dominated possession and shots but they had the better chances so overall it's a good point.

Couldn't fucking beat a team that hasn't won (at home, maybe?) for 7-8 games, who have 10 men for 70 minutes! Useless fucking tactics, no plan B, useless subs, uninspired and pathetic.

Our away form is going to keep us in this league, unfortunately.

Neil Adams has resigned as Norwich manager. Hopefully that will shut up all the moaning Norwich fans around where I live that have been begging for his departure for weeks.

I thought they were doing worse than are based on their moaning fans. They are 7th right outside the play offs and above us. I would be happy to be where they are. Maybe it's the style of football or the higher expectations though.

Shocking.

They have such a strong history in red. Shocking.

Having seen photos that the ball was floating when put in the corner, it was probably not a surprise it was postponed.
Shocking.

Tbf, imagine the outcry if in their first season of red they'd been relegated to League 1.
