    Match Thread: Lincoln City v Leyton Orient

    Caveat, I have to say I watched on iFollow and I know that does not always give the full and proper impression. But, I what I saw foremost was a side trying to stop the Imps playing for 75/80 mins and being circumspect going forward and most of the time making sure they had bodies behind the...

    Match Thread: Lincoln City v Leyton Orient

    I was very surprised how Orient set themselves up and played for the majority of that match, was it the fear factor? Given that a draw was pretty much no good and it was a match they really needed win to keep any lingering PO hopes intact, I found it strange. With the season they are having...

    unbeaten run

    I don't like the PL one iota. However, I couldn't disagree more about their fans, they are the most self-deprecating and humorous out there.

    Stacey West v Orient

    Why allow more away fans for a crucial match when it's odds on those seats can be filled by the home support. Common sense to my mind.

    Stan Bowles

    I recall him being sent off at the Bank in the early '80s when playing for Brentford for a bout of petulance. A hugely talented player, who never realised his full potential - he came from an era of gifted English players who brightened our lives, but somehow fell short of where their talent...

    Next Manager/Head Coach Discussion

    Writing gonads is part and parcel of all football fora. However, from a cursory scroll through the thread on the Fishy about the search for their new manager takes it to a whole new level and is incredibly entertaining, if one wants a smile with their morning cuppa take a looksee.

    Oxford United - Past Encounters

    I remember a 2-2 in a blizzard which made it very hard to see what was happening on the pitch at times, which was hampered even more by the fence at the Railway End, '84ish if memory serves. The Imps were 2-0 up and pegged back by a very good Oxford side and in the end they were unlucky not to win.

    Next Manager/Head Coach Discussion

    Absolutely, even if Shaw wins the next two matches - what we are seeing could just be a positive reaction to what was a poor situation under MK. It would however, be correct and proper to reward him though, financially and with assurances of mentoring and career progression, as far as the later...

    CGBeebies is the establishment; Rees-Mogg, Portillo, Widdecombe, Foster, Anderson, McVey, Davies, Davison among others either present programmes or regularly appear on air, I'd say that is the embodiment of the establishment. The real irony however in all this is, Calvin Robinson (not a real...

    RIP Colin Murphy

    This is terrible news, but it comes to us all. I started to attend Sincil Bank well before the arrival of Graham Taylor as manager so I have seen many many ups and downs in the intervening year (mostly downs). Despite the recent progress of the club and the stabilisation to become an...
