Re: Stalinist scenes at Forest Green

Thanks for the advice and the support. I don't know how much of this is the hierarchy's view or how much of this comes from the hierarchy not really having much understanding of what's going on at FGR on a match day.

Re: Stalinist scenes at Forest Green

I invite everyone to read the FGR statement about what occurred! I would be upset if it wasn't so funny. One, I apparently only had a photograph of my e-ticket. Total nonsense. The stewards were shown the original. Two, I apparently threw a punch at a steward but missed. I would love to see the CCTV...

Re: Cooper on Duff

I like coops. If it wasn’t for him, with their huge wage bill, they’d be top of the league by miles. Also, hilariously, despite them buying there way up the league, their own fan base hate him. A lot of them are rightly very skeptical of Vince and the inevitable train wreck that is coming, but coop...

Re: Cheltenham Town v Forest Green Rovers

We had a chance in the first half I still don't know how it didn't go in. Ended up a corner so I assume someone threw themselves in front of it. Looked for all the world like we'd scored.

So, basically, manager with the charisma of a rusty paperclip gets pissed off with fans annoyed that he doesn't have a plan B.
