Hahaha. I will look foolish should we lose but I doubt my comment will be the cause.
Match Thread: Lincoln City v Cambridge United
- Thread starter Jules
- Start date
I assume the people round you have similar cv’s to the Cowley’s to make their noise on the subject relevant or perhaps they have some strange hope that Akinde fails. As a Lincoln fan, I’m sure you would want Akinde to succeed and will be giving him your backing? I’m certainly also backing Rheady despite that being his first league goal all season.
Looked from my angle more of a chest barge, could have already been carded for time wasting though

Your friend was mistaken.

I sit in the selenity and I thought it just about warranted a yellow. Yes it was mistimed but it wasn’t malicious. I did hear a crack though and I’m not sure if the ref did or not to help
Make his mind up. It’s was Chapman catching their players shin pad but whether the ref thought worse I’m not sure.
I thought the ref bottled a stonewall penalty for them aswell .
Such a shame as we looked really threatening up until that decision. They scored a cracker out of nowhere but I felt we would still win whilst playing with 11.
Never mind, that’s football and that’s why we love it.
Just have a quick peek at the table and enjoy the rest of your evening.
Back for more on Tuesday. UTI

Not sure why you are saying this? The keeper didn’t give us anything.
To be fair, he looked to be carrying a bit of weight and flapped at quite a few crosses. Maybe the time wasting was because he was knackered.
Remarked to my mate that he reminded me of a chunky lad we used to drag out of the pub when we were one short of a team.

Aye... that is perhaps the most bizarre appraisal of a player’s performance I’ve ever seen.
Commanded his area excellently... rock solid with his handling... what on earth was shocking about his display?

Yes he did. I always thought that is a straight red.

We said the same, the dad who sits just down was furious that it wasn't given.

Regarding Cambridge's penalty appeal, from where I was in the Stacey West about 20 yards away it looked as if our player got his foot to the ball cleanly.

Really? Well you was a lot nearer than I so fair enough if that’s the case. From where I was sat it looked like a clear foul. I thought he’d have given it if he hadn’t got the whole stadium against him.

Feel very sorry for young Ellis Chapman. That's a shocking decision. Hope he can bounce back soon and get another start

that's being a bit dissmissive of the efforts of our midfield today.
we started with four in midfield. andrade/chapman/pett/anderson. when chapman was sent off, we retained the 4 - mccartan dropped in.
then anderson was sacrificed and for a while we played andrade/bostwick/pett/mccartan. second half it was andrade/wilson/pett/mccartan. last 15 or so it was andrade/wilson/pett/green. the position we sacrificed was the support striker... which is why akinde was so isolated and outnumbered.
