Giltbrook Pie

Ooh, go on.
Just give us a little taster.

Fun fact:
A young Dan Burn made a sub appearance for Darlington against Notts in our 5-0 win to secure the L2 title in April 2010.

A 30 year old Michael Doyle would fit the bill.

He’s got undoubted ability. I just question how much he wants to play for Notts, indeed sometimes I wonder whether he really wants to make it as a professional footballer.

In an act of extreme sado-masochism, watched it again. The only thing I’d add to earlier comments is that yes, we were poor but in the added 6 minutes, at 2-1 up the EFL team had enough of the ball to see the game out and failed to do so by repeatedly giving it away to our NL opponents.

Lots to concern us about that defeat but as the saying goes, ‘it all starts with the goalkeeper’ so basically until we secure a competent replacement, we’re screwed. Roos is awful, truly awful.

Came with the reputation of being a midfield ‘enforcer’ type. He really, really isn’t. Offers nothing.

Ness excellent.
Jatta good apart from the pen.
Macari, Bedeau ok.
Thats about it.
Got what they deserved, but according to their manager it was mainly down to their lord and saviour Jesus Christ so we were up against it from the start.
Goalkeeper remains the number 1 priority in January.

Agree. Keep him fit and I think we’ve got a L1 player there.

Think your sarcasm detector meter might need recalibrating a touch mate. I agree Jatta put in a great shift this afternoon.

Struggling to remember a more outstanding goalkeeping performance than that. Kelle Roos MOM. Well deserved.

After 1 point from 6 league games and publicly slagging off his senior players, self-proclaimed football genius Matt Saunders has ‘resigned’ at Bracknell Town. Definitely a bit of a nob that bloke.

Rushcliffe Rovers fans:
We hate VAR
VAR costs us 10 points a season
VAR has a vendetta against us
VAR needs putting in the bin
VAR is an anti-Forest conspiracy
We always come off worse from VAR

. . . . We love VAR.

But scored 1 and assisted 1.

Swindon offered hoofball and not much else. Once again, no real quality in L2 so far.

Ollie Palmer playing CF for Swindon whilst also reffing the game. He will win them a penalty. Absolutely guaranteed.

I pack spare underpants for the multiple occasions I s**t myself whenever opponents launch a cross into our box.

Alternative opinion. Assuming we’re talking football here, Cotter is not a ‘fantastic option’. From what I’ve seen he’s absolutely awful and needs to return to his parent club as soon as possible.

‘Hubris’
Isn’t that a word originating in Greek mythology?

Alternative view: thought he had a pretty poor game today.

HT verdict. Griffiths done ok. Back 3 looks shaky but thrown together so to be expected. Some decent work by Robbo, odd flashes from Jarvis, Grant and Hall. Hinchy and Bennetts poor. Traore continues to look woefully short, especially against a physical outfit like Lincoln.

Can you recommend any brands of washing powder that are good for getting piss stains out of underpants?

My worst fear is that MP has been told he’s got Jatta, Jarvis and Traore and needs to make the best of it.

You could be on to something there.

. . . . and it’s only mid August!
MP is the easy target and I do have reservations about him but put Bass, Abbott, Jatta and McG in this team and I think things look very different, certainly better than 1 point from 9. Last 12-15 months our owners have made some seriously poor decisions.

Read on ‘the other side’ our team described as disgusting and diabolical’. It definitely wasn’t. Lacking creative input certainly but after a pretty dismal first half, I thought we were the better team. Needed a break in the box and didn’t get it. Cotter isn’t a footballer. Jones isn’t a No.10.

Marinakis complains that the Community Shield should be awarded to Forest not Palace because their keeper Dean Henderson played at the City Ground a couple of years ago.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Bulwell there’s a bloke in his shed searching for a tin of paint and some old bedsheets.
