Fantastic attention to detail from the bandwagon jumpers at North East Lincolnshire Council:
(Hurst not Hirst & @officialgtfc not @grimsbytown for those less pedantic than myself over gtfc minutiae)
From what I can remember, the reaction seemed to be quite proportional? Most of us were firstly unhappy that the stamp had gone unpunished during the game, and that Wright was allowed to stay on the pitch and influence the result. Given that the ref didn't do anything about it during the game...
I had a horrible experience at The New Lawn this season. I'd considered eating in Nailsworth first but on my way through the traffic was quite busy and it looked a pain to find somewhere to park, so for the sake of convenience I headed straight to the ground. Arrived by car about 90 minutes...
Hurst's just been on the radio and confirmed that the decision to drop Amond was tactical - he's not injured at all. He's dropped the league's top scorer (before today - RIP my 25/1 bet on him finishing top scorer) to counter the opposition. The bloke is an utter clown - stubbornly obsessed with...
Completely different game if you lot had to spend the last 30 minutes defending a 2-1 lead with 10 men. Call it an overreaction if you like, but you're kidding yourself if you think Wright staying on the pitch was anything other than incredibly fortunate after his cowardly stamp.

Indefensible. Hope he gets a massive ban and fine, although I fully expect the clowns running this league will do nothing.
I don't think anyone disagrees with that. Doesn't mean we can't complain about the Sunday League standard ref, the penalty decisions he bottled (for both teams) and the fact that Cheltenham should have been playing the last half hour with 10 men.
I'd rather Forest Green go up than this bunch of dirty diving pricks. At least they were simply physical rather than outright cheats. They didn't start needlessly stamping on our players either.
