    Match Thread: Boston United v Lincoln City

    Bossie started according to their very sparse match report https://www.bostonunited.co.uk/teams/24809/match-centre/0-5632989/report

    Match Thread: King's Lynn Town v Lincoln City

    I'm always intrigued about this perfect world that came before "nowadays". I wish we could wind the clock back to 1884 to see just how much better everything was back then. Or is it just about things being better "back in the day" in the eye of the beholder? How do the media "lap up" the...

    Pre Season Starts!

    Honestly my biggest take-away from that is how impressive the King's Lynn stadium is. I had no idea!

    Match Thread: Lincoln City v Stockport County

    Aren't these games about getting the fitness up and some minutes into the players' legs after a summer rest? I hope MK isn't going to rip up his plans based on what is essentially a training game.

    Show us the Money

    Despite the slightly fish-tinted goggles, this is a reasonable and insightful look into the fortnes of three clubs that were once in the same division and went their separate ways. The article remains fairly neutral throughout and ends with a positive review of Lincoln's "model":

    Fixture Release Day Thread

    Apparently both clubs "agreed to bring the fixture forward to provide an extra day of recovery for their respective players going into the Christmas games". https://www.dcfc.co.uk/news/2023/07/lincoln-home-fixture-brought-forward

    Carabao Cup Draw Thread

    I can prove that Pie = Shit. Change P to Sh, and change e to t. People in Nailsworth need not respond. Just to clarify: we are still waiting on a valid proof of 2+2=3. We may be waiting for some time.

    Carabao Cup Draw Thread

    That answer is just 0.5 to the power of 22 - the probability of predicting each of the specific outcomes (home/away) of each event (draw). The probability of guessing the correct outcome of one draw is 0.5. The probability of guessing the correct outcome of two draws is 0.5 x 0.5. Etc... The...

    Ups and Downs

    Your comment made me realise that I didn't know much about the history of Reading. This chart showing their historic league positions demonstrates their one big bash at the top level quite nicely. And just because it's possible, here they are compared with Lincoln over the ages (thanks to the...

    Summer Transfer Rumour Thread

    Because it's a departure from the "good old days" when men were men, had a fag at half time, and had a job for life.

    Match Thread: Lincoln City v Peterborough United

    That was our first season back in league 2, 8th after the 1-4 against Crewe on 11th Nov 2017 (coincidentally the reverse fixture in February was also 1-4 to Lincoln). I think it's fair to say that the Crewe result was a blip during the upward trajectory, which is not comparable with the...

    As things stand

    So let me get this straight... We were playing positive football against North Ferriby, Carlisle, Mansfield et al And we should just.. expect that to continue against the likes of Sheff Weds, Derby, etc? What was that some people were saying about entitled fans of other clubs?

    Ivan Toney

    While what Bradley Wood did is more serious than what Toney allegedly did, it's not as serious as match fixing. Wood was guilty of purposefully getting yellow cards in certain games, which is more related to spot betting than affecting the outcome of a game. In fact the games Wood got those...
