Grimsby

Also to add to this .
Proper hard footballers who played the game.
Not the ref .
I lost count how many players ,( from both teams) last night threw themselves to the ground as soon as they were touched to buy a foul ,to slow the game down.
It was good to see the ref occasionally waved play on ,noticed on one occasion left Grimsby stranded.
Modern football.
But f@#, ing stinks.

 

Well done Grimsby well deserved, as the saying goes Football is a funny old game.

 

Shame they won’t make much money from a boycotted game at hillsbro

 

Shame, but you nivver know, Football is a funny old game.

 

The more time passes, the more outrageous this seems. The misses I don't have much opinion on either way - someone is always going to miss a penalty (eventually) - but for a £74m striker earning over £8m a year to be the last outfield player to take a penalty against League Two opposition is just embarrassing, isn't it? Everyone has days at work where the sh*t hits the fan and we have to step up, scary though it can be. I'd be ashamed of myself, hiding like that. But even that pales into insignificance next to a manager who doesn't even watch the conclusion of a game for which he was in charge of a £1bn squad. He's a grown man being paid millions of pounds a year to hold a prominent, senior position at one of the biggest football clubs in the world, and he can't even watch? How pathetic is that?
