A lot of things on this forum boil down to extremes. There are seldom any shades of grey.

Example:

If we lose three on the bounce, we're sh*t and we're going down. We then go four unbeaten and people start talking about the playoffs and the football league. There's no middle ground.

In this situation there was never an issue with kids being in and around the ground, the issue was whether parents were supervising them and helping them stay safe. As a parent myself, I can relate to this. Instead it has seemingly degenerated into two factions, people who hate kids and people who don't. It wasn't necessary for this to happen.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if he went out on loan for a month soon. What a fillip it will be for our midfield when he is back to full fitness!

It can’t be good for the team knowing that they are going into a game without their first choice keeper. Regardless of how Gould performed that sort of thing eats away at you in the back of your mind. If they were to play a 17 year old it’s be the same.

Although whoever we get probably won’t be very experienced

Lee Spencer springs to mind. That FA Cup defeat to Accrington still haunts me to this day!

It's very unfortunate that this thread has become more about an alleged troll/trolls than the brilliant person it was actually intended for. This should be an opportunity to give Erin the congratulations she very much deserves for her efforts.

Well done, Erin, you should be extremely proud!

Didn't we play a team called Ilnest or Il Nest in a friendly during the 90's?

For sheer anti-climax, the 5-0 defeat at Kidderminster in the FA Trophy Quarter Final in 1995 takes some beating.

The main reason we didn't play any higher opposition in friendlies last pre-season was that we couldn't play any home games, due to the pitch being replaced.
