485 FGR at Swindon

Odin Bailey is one class player. Jeez it's been a while since we had many players we could describe in those terms.

Against Swindon, anything could happen, principally depending on which if either of the sides bother to turn up. Expecting an entertaining if not technically brilliant game, possibly with multiple goals from both teams.

We were pretty decent until we went one man down .After that is another story.

274 FGR at Dave

DV has clearly become the Stephen Patrick Morrissey of lower-league football: even apart from the vegan/veggie stuff, the co-existence of the desire to promote beautiful tippy-tappy "progressive" stats-led football (Horseman after the Blackpool defeat: "That was not really a 3 -0 game") with an...

What a fucking joke. If there was any doubt that the number one problem with the club now is Dale Vince.

So National League here we come then

We are spectacularly shit today. Probably the nearest thing to a full-strength team we've had for ages, yet it's men against boys. We are being walked all over by the franchise.

James Belshaw, who had been doing utterly sterling work for us as keeper on emergency loan from Bristol Rovers since September has gone back to the Gas.....only to be loaned out again immediately, also seemingly on emergency terms, to Harrogate. I hope we purchase him in January, best keeper...

Little was very clearly unhappy and not at all at home at our place - and it showed. Even among the clusterfuck that was League One FGR. Sounds harsh to say that he showed little promise at our place, but to my eyes that was the long and short of it. Glad it's worked out for him with you...

We gained Brewdog beers in our bars at the expense of those of local breweries, the Stroud Brewery (very good) and the Cotswold Brewery (less good), so, even putting aside the ethics of Brewdog, ending support for small local businesses doesn't strike me as admirable.... (I do agree the fanzone...

Dale Vince doesn't have a fucking clue about how to run a football club, is my conclusion based on the evidence of the last 18 months or so. (To be fair one could have come to this conclusion earlier - "spunk loads of money and consistently fail to make it over the final line of getting...

Are there any Labour MPs today who would claim to be fans of Grimsby? (or indeed, be able to find Grimsby on a map?). It sometimes appears that it's all Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal these days in such esteemed circles., although I might expect Lisa Nandy to put in a word for Wigan Athletic.

Fuck knows, I've given up trying to understand it. Latest word from those who claim to be in the know is that a player we have on loan from Hull (who played for most of the first game and the replay) wasn't registered properly, nothing to do with the emergency loan keeper, nothing to do with the...

Apparently there are at least two precedent cases like this - two of them involving Chesterfield at that https://www.derbyshiretimes.co.uk/sport/football/chesterfield-ordered-to-replay-fa-cup-game-against-stockport-due-to-administrative-error-3022820 v Stockport in 2020 and v MK in 2014

Same old FA, taking the piss (from their website, not a word from FGR so far) "A Professional Game Board Sub-Committee has ordered the Emirates FA Cup First Round Proper tie between Forest Green Rovers and Scarborough Athletic to be replayed on Tuesday 12 December at 19:45. The FA charged...

Our place is vicious in winter without even being on the coast. Not quite Hartlepool brutal but nearly Impressive turnout tonight showing the pizzacup the respect it deserves: 494 in total (147 from Oxford Utd) Nice touch in their report: "Rodrigues firing over the top of both goal and stand...

I suspect it is that our "temporary loan" goalkeeper was ineligible to play in the replay against Scarborough Athletic, but hopefully it will be clear soon enough. Can we pin that on both Horseman and the DoF as a reason to sack both?
