Cheating

It’s all kinda amusing considering the abuse we get from you for supposedly being holier than thou but carry on.

That was more in reference to the club overall. Not that we are happy about being too nice at times! We moan about it rather than be proud of it.

Posted this on here before, but Askey’s Macc teams almost never cheated. I don’t like cheating, but it was painful to watch others cheating against us on a near-weekly basis and we were so honest to the point it was screwing us over.

This pretty much sums us up at the moment. It seems a win at all costs mentality has engulfed the lower leagues. We're constantly getting screwed over and sometimes I wonder whether we should just join in.

It's not the holier than thou that gets under my skin, it's the fact that you (not you personally) talk about the current Crewe team as though they are the reincarnation of the Brazil 1970 squad and Lowery is Pele. Yes, you're doing well and playing well at the moment but we're all ultimately shit, that's why we're in league two. It's the superiority complex that irks.

I do enjoy seeing Vale hating the fact we’re doing well.

And please, no one is making out we’re Brazil or Lowery is Pele. We’re much better.

Not seen any Vale fans particularly mention it? Doesn't make a difference to us what you do unless it costs us something, the one we are more interested in is currently sat second bottom and pruned to join the lower leagues. Agent Jones is doing a fabulous job.

It's not cheating, it's "game management". The Cowleys are masters of this at and probably get 20+ points a season thanks to standing on the touchline and waving their arms around like they have done 6 pills at a rave. I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, you don't want your team to do this but on the other is everyone else is doing it then you may as well.

I remember Curle saying last year that him and his assistant actually saying after the game that beforehand they had a game plan to get up and shout at the officials every time the Cowley’s did and that they were knackered after 90 minutes

I recall the Lincoln game at their place and their fans even were part of it, literally the Cowleys get up and their fans are moaning at the referees with it. Literally all pulling in the same direction. Must be quite difficult for the officials with that pressure.

Yeah I can imagine it can get to less experienced officials

Your honour, my case is closed

Mansfield joined the ranks of Westleys' Stevenage and Fatty Evans' Crawley on Saturday.

Every single time the whistle was blown they hoofed the ball away at least 30 yards to slow down play. Rose was diving all over the shop, Bishop feigned injury on a number of occasions then offered one of our players out in front of the ref, loads of nasty challenges which seemed to go unpunished, and a manager on the sidelines orchestrating the whole thing.

Bishop's anguished face as the ball hits the back of the net on 90+4 was something quite beautiful.

GYF Stags and see you on Boxing Day.

Your fans are all over our match threads when we lose. It’s hilarious.

Not seen it other than one comment on the opening day by one fan.

Couldn't give two hoots how you do as long as it doesn't cost us for any reason. Unlike Crewe fans posting excitedly all over the place when you finish above us its not really reciprocal.

You wont see anything on OVF about Crewe apart from the Bennell stuff a few months back.

We've been far to pre occupied with Agent Jones and the Lardies to worry about Crewe.
