Easter Monday Match Thread

[rudebwoyben]

I just want to say that it's an absolutely beautiful day for watching football today. Up til now it's seemed to be windy at every Barnet match I've been to. I'm hoping that the more settled conditions today will help us play better football On my way to Dartford now.

 

[Johnny Boy]

Come on You Bees!!!!

 

[Gas Go Marching In]

Not unexpected changes those. Yids and Luisma looked knackered at FT on Saturday.

That really is a team that could get the ball down and play it to feet. Unfortunately given our tactics and Dartfords pitch, it'll just be knocked up to Gash and Akinde all the time. Dartford better hope they have some large centre backs

Come on DARTFORD!!!

 

[Harrier94]

Ryan Hayes has just hit both posts for Dartford

 

[Urban]

We match their effort but can only hit one.

 

[Urban]

WESTON!

Wonder if those two old folks in the West Stand are there today, moaning about him every time he gets a touch!

 

[miagsygas]

Realistically I don't see Barnet dropping points today, never had. Great atmosphere at kiddy pubs today, hope the side don't let us down. Three points or we're in trouble.

 

[Harrier94]

Harriers team: Lewis, Hodgkiss (c), Fry, Kelly, Grimes, Green, Gittings, Maxwell, Boyle, Wright, Hughes

 

[GTFC1979]

Rumours here that our fans have smashed up Sheffield station, our reputation manages to sink even lower!

Took me 35 mins to get served in the pub were in, then just as I do Barnet score, arseholes!!

 

[Gladders]

5 changes for us, Magnay injured. Toto rest to avoid suspension and 3 other changes to rest players

 

[Urban]

Grimsby fans smashing up property in a town where their team isn't even playing. Kind of backs up what I was saying in the promotion thread.

 

[Mr Scooty]

Jennings will score inevitably. Youth team striker Danny Reynolds on the bench. Be good to get him on for some action.

 

[Luke Imp]

Pitch still in good nick at SB:

 

[DT-the-gull]

Can't believe I heard some Barnet fans signing "We'll never play you again" That's got to rank as one of the most dumb football chants ever invented, often comes back to bite the singers of it, right in the arse.

 

[EastBarnetBee]

You're a barrel of laughs aren't you?

 

[Johnny Boy]

I can breathe, what a big result. The three points today was crucial and may have a psychological effect on both Grimsby and Rovers. I know we didn't play great football, but as long as you get the three points that's enough.

 

[Urban]

Phew! 9 more points to go, but 3 much more tricky matches against teams that can play football now. Feel our performances will have to be a bit more assured now as Halifax, Kiddy and Gateshead won't be so lacking upfront.

If that's true then it's a horrible thing to do. I hate it when people take pleasure out of someone else's misfortune. Would think Barnet fans would know what that feels like, given the stick Northampton fans were giving us when we were relegated.

 

[Roly]

How dare anyone have a bit of banter at football that lasts all of five seconds.

 

[JJH]

Barnet have done their part - over to you then Gasheads.

Also - can someone take a pic of the Rovers fans at Kidderminster?

Good following to be fair.

 

[BlueBee]

I hope Dartford burns to the ground. Bite me.

There's banter and then there's mocking a clubs relegation. We didn't like it when it was done to us, so let's not do it to others.

 

[Master D]

1-0 Macc.

Fair point, but that's football. It was a chant that was quickly drowned out.

 

[DT-the-gull]

I made a post about a chant, didn't ask for a response

 

[rudebwoyben]

It's a silly chant IMO. They're not rivals of ours.

 

[Greenacres]

Rovers 3-0 up after 22 minutes.

 

[Urban]

Eh? So you make posts but if anyone replies they've bitten?

Makes sense, that. I was even agreeing with you?

 

[Greenacres]

If you want goals, try AFC Fylde against Colwyn Bay...after 11 minutes it is 4-1 to Fylde!

...including a 6 minute hat-trick to a player called Allen.
