Match Thread: Milton Keynes Dons v Lincoln City

[Merthyr Imp]

We did have a fair few chances to put the game beyond them, how Harry didn't score...on another day, we may have had three or four.

I agree - we were well worth the 2-1 scoreline whether one was a penalty or not. As well as Anderson's missed chance we didn't make the most of other opportunities - thinking of Melbourne, when it looked as if he was trying a shot when he ought to have put the ball across, and Jones when he would have done better to take a touch instead of hitting it first time.

It was the best I've seen Eyoma play, also Montsma.

A well-deserved win.

Agent Holloway doing a great job at blunders

I think it always looks good when you have a run of matches where any number of players could take the man of match award, Anderson, Palmer, Grant, Hopper and also Montsma, had really good games.

It’s good to see such a young side put in such a disciplined performance.

 

[Warrington Imp]

Another great win early days but some very good signs there, Palmer looks absolute top draw and I had my doubts re Hopper but glad he is proving me wrong.

Happy Days UTMI

Good to see whingeing Trampmere down there too. Scunthorpe just above them. Happy days.

Grimsby already thinking: "I hope Southend and Oldham are worse than us".

Two very good young players, Eyoma will be playing for Spurs within eighteen months. It was noticeable today how both of our full backs are comfortable with both feet. In the recent past, we had players who were comfortable with neither.

Excellent, I will have to pop over there later and have a giggle.

Yep.
The keeper looks the best we've had in a long time.
Hopper showing why DC was also keen on bringing him in.
Grant, possibly the best midfielder we've had since Peter Gain, and going to be better.

Paul Robson. A man who appeared completely uncomfortable in his whole body. I think I still rank (no pun intended) him as the worst player I have ever seen in an LCFC shirt.

 

[Billy the Imp]

Not read that thread but just seen the penalty incident and has the player pulled Hopper down before being tackled? Is that why it's been given?

Surely having given the penalty decision, the referee should then have given a red card!

You're assuming he's a competent, trained, professional referee and not a self-styled "Football Entertainer".

True!

 

[Impish]

That’s the reason we got the waved play on for our second goal today, he was so far behind play, he thought sod it, go for play on then I don’t have to run as far.

Poor Mr Robinson, can't wait for the excuses, what a muppet he is!

Looking at the Oxford daily rag, Mrs Robinson bringing his players in early Sunday for a bollocking. Maybe if they start playing next weeks game tomorrow they may get near scoring?!

Oh dear Clods!. When the fun stops it really stops in Cleethorpes!

i remember thoughts like this. It turns out they weren’t.

A few of us on line now, come in and join the ref watch comments

If all could paste the views onto the rate the ref thread I would be grateful. Should make for an entertaining read

Nope, if there's an attempt to play the ball then it's a yellow maximum. The red card law got changed years ago.
