Rolling Eastleigh and Maidenhead still isn't enough to get me reaching for the Pol Roger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you miss last season? It had nothing to do with a free pint that is just as a result of a build up of getting along with their supporters and owner. So when I pick a long distance away I choose this one. It is just a nice , friendly club to visit and I didn't have a free pint either. Can we not have some friends within the NL?

Weird atmosphere yesterday by our lot. Fans weren't up for it at all. I like the old school Aldershot ground though. The covered away end reminded me of Ninian Park Weirdly, you've still not muted me... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t get this love affair with other teams and their fans. Perhaps one of the reasons we are a pushover at times is we are to friendly with other clubs. What’s happened to rivalry ?

Perhaps one of the reasons we are a pushover at times is we are to friendly with other clubs. What’s happened to rivalry ? Love affair is taking it to the extreme. It might be my age but I really can't build up a rivalry over Dorking and I do prefer getting along with fans rather than the dark days of the 80s and 90s. Now if they were at the top of the league, were bleating on about wanting more tickets because for once they might have a decent away following and one of your players physically assaulted one of our players with no consequences, then yes am up for a bit of rivalry What other clubs are we friendly to? Also to think that is one of the reasons we are a pushover is really, really stretching it. When I played football I was always friendly to my rivals before and after, but generally kicked them all over the park during the match. Fans being friendly to each other should and actually doesn't affect how the team is playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deckyd Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 13 minutes ago, yarddog73 said: Watched the match back, how bad was Hogan, shameful for the second goal and gave up at times. Looks like he was sulking to me. Agree with this. I thought he was actually playing very well in the first half when in the 3 CB's, don't think he lost a header. When he was changed to the WB role, especially in the second half it looked as though he downed tools. In fairness hes no wing back but there was a moment in second half where he let the ball bounce, didn't even attempt to challenge their number 3 (possibly) at the byline and Conlon (i think) had to rush in and stop the cross, he literally gave up on that situation. The other that stands out is when he brought their man down on the LW instead of attempting to try and make a tackle, remembering at the time thinking it was pure laziness and or not trying. He did seem to run out of energy almost? Again he is no wing back and eventually moving out to the left certainly didn't help either. Maybe a case of being a bit pissed off at moving here there and everywhere position wise? The left wing back/ winger was roasting him as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc White might not be everyone's cup of tea, I think hes quite likable, always puts us over in good light as a club as well as the fans, speaks highly of Frank. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve had a pop at @BP1960 myself in the past, but your comment there is puerile. I’m guessing, but it’s possible he streamed both games isn’t it? Did you carefully scrutinise all 400+ of our fans to be able to question whether he was at Aldershot? Were you one of those who ratted on kids playing truant at school by any chance?

100milesaway Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 Our manager deserved a kick in the pods after choosing that starting line up. Big game, with a chance of putting daylight between teams very close to us . So the manager leaves our THREE leading scorers on the bench.

It also shows the advantages of a linesman not being up with play if you're attacking which he did on quite a few occasions, he was right in front of us.

Fylde out ran us whereas Aldershot was worse for me due to the total inability of the players to pass the ball to each other. He's a good lad Is @rudemedic we have many a good chat during home matches. I Watch full replays too of other matches and the Curzon Ashton centre back Devon Matthews has impressed me, he looks higher league bound. Not to us though as we already have enough I think.

And there’s nothing wrong with giving a view on a game that you’ve watched on TV as opposed to being in the ground. In fact I’d say you deserve praise for not reaching for the off switch. My question to @rudemedic re school was meant to be tongue in cheek so I apologise to him and to you if it came over as a bit stroppy.

However… if you are watching National League TV, then it’s a single camera feed that does not really give a full picture of the movement on the pitch - still valid but not as good as being at the game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
