I really don't know why so many of you complain about the play offs. Everybody knows that at the start of the season if you want to go up you have to finish in the top 2 in the EFL or win the National League. The extra promotion place is a bonus which you have to compete for. The NL is, in my...

Despite not wanting them to, I have to admit that Grimsby deserved to win. They missed a stack of chances as well as having what looked a clear penalty denied at 0-0 and Solihull only threatened now and again, and not much at all after that giant from Mance Rayder's army went off. They did it...

I'm not going to waste everyone's time with any more replies to you on this subject but your comments are totally unrelated to anything I'm saying. At all. Kafkaesque. :giggle:

Then why reply to me? @mikeosullivan brought it up. My point was nothing to do with it. Whilst tactical switches plays some part I've never got this whole "tactically outhought" business as if football is just a giant chess game controlled by grandmasters on the sidelines. It's not. There's a...

I have no idea why you drew that conclusion? Bizarre.

Are you sure you're replying to the right post here?

I always wonder what this actually means? I see that comment so often. Could you explain what you mean? Maybe thrown in some diagrams. Did he outwit his opponent by making sure Grant hit the bar instead of putting us 2-0 up?

Yes, I don't understand that either. Even allowing for a little trolling, it's been mentioned often enough by the media. Courtois had a good game, he was commanding, but he's known to be one of the best in the world. He made one fantastic save from Mané and two very good ones from Salah but...

Toffolo was a fool. If he hadn't attempted the Fosbury Flop he would have just run straight into Colbeck's outstretched leg and it would have been a penalty. But instead he dived. I have little sympathy for footballers in these situations whether they were fouled or not. On the other hand, the...

If Konate "hit the ball off Fabinho" then it was Konate who played the ball, so it wasn't offside, was it?

VAR also robbed Real Madrid of a perfectly good goal too. I find it hard to believe you support it, I definitely don't - mind you my team suffers from it every other week; yours probably doesn't :)

He's a very good player for this level. If he's going to play in the SPL then he'll be one of the best midfielders in it. It's a shame he's going as he's one of the few from last season you could say would definitely be worth a place in August, but it happens all the time so hey-ho.

I'm completely against any injection of politics onto the football forum - those interested in non football matters can play in their own sand pit, there is one available. The ONLY thing that unites everyone contributing to this board is that they want to see Lincoln City do well. The people...

I agree with @GreenNeedle's posts on the matter in that it's a cultural thing; and I still lean to it being down to fan culture because, as ever, we don't see these reactions in other sports. Then, in Spain, where I watch nearly all my football, the fan culture is very different. My team gets...

It's a shame you have to bring the divisie issue of politics into this Clive, when there are enough problems with that on this forum. Grown men on a football pitch, let alone those attacking and goading opposing players, has nothing to do with politics, it has a lot more to do with fan culture...

Based on the last 2 night's games, whichever goes up will be back down again before Halloween.

In Spain, any manager who resigns or is sacked can't take another job in the Spanish League that season. This has always been the rule there, so there's no moving to appoint someone who lost their position elsewhere. Students of Spanish football may be aware that this doesn't stop clubs sacking...

Could you, maybe, let us know what Matthew Benham's returns have been on his "investment"? You know, from a money perspective?
