League Cup 1st round all in one match thread.

[AdamStag]

It is a ridiculously good goal.

11 in 3 games is impressive, we just need to keep it going, especially with 3 games in 10 games now

 

[The_Boss]

Real strong efforts from the Accie players there.

They’d learned their place by then.

Who's that commentator and why does he insist on referring to each player by both first name and surname every single time they touch the ball? Irritating as fuck.

On the Mansfield video, his name is Martin shaw. As dedicated as you come, travels up from Sussex for every game to do that commentary free of charge to Mansfield followers.

Pretty special effort for someone as annoying as Fuck

 

[Vanni]

I'm starting to think that Vanni was on the wind up here judging by the above two post and my own earlier.

Well done Fish. Like I want my lot to get a points deduction when all I'm thinking about this year is getting to 50 points asap, and hence safety. I also thought mentioning Swindon's loss to FGR in my post was the dead giveaway as there's no shame in getting beat by the one goal to a fellow L2 club.

Otoh, I still haven't made my mind up on the most embarrassing result of the day. It's a toss up between ours and Vale's I reckon.

I think I came across this fella's name when I was googling info on Ifollow last season and I was directed to your fans forum. IIRC, he was promising Stags fans abroad that he was going to follow up on their complaints re. the shoddy service they were getting (and paying for). It's always nice to see complaints not falling on deaf ears.

 

[KeithH]

Bury and FG both have decent fans on here, in general....

Clubs going on about their history is so tiring though, history is no use to anyone if you're crap now

Cheeky bugger historys all we have!!!!

 

[Imp in Branston]

Lincoln drawn away in the cup again, who would have thought that?

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Away at Wycombe. Not exactly what you'd hope for.

 

[northstandexile]

We are away at West Brom.

To be fair to Bury fans, you don't bang on about your history even though you have a very good early history. What is it, something like winners of the FA cup twice?

As honourable that it, his travelling efforts don’t make his commentaries any less irritating.

Clive Tylsdley could travel from the moon to do him commentaries and he would still be a total c**t behind the mike.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

If your history is overall pitiful verging on a steaming pile of turd, I guess it’s easy to not concentrate or rarely mention it not that it applies to my club, obviously

 

[Amber Nectar]

I'm going to stick up for him. I quite like his commentary, ok it isn't perfect but it has come on leaps and bounds.

As others have already said, he travels from Surrey every game (home & away) to provide us stags with commentary on ifollow. Even though he doesn't need it, he buys a season ticket every year, just to put money in to the club.

And then that night or next morning produces highlights of the game for us to watch.

Football commentators are always going to split opinion and if you have a half decent one that provides commentaries on your team then you have to be grateful.

He sounds like a top football guy to be fair to him. And I’m sure that being a football commentator is not as easy as people probably presume.

Credit to the guy.
Give him a thumbs up from most if not all us real football supporters.

Oh thank you thank you THANK YOU
2 time winners, only team to win the cup without conceding a goal and record win (6-0) in a final
Also the only team to have scored over 1000 goals in all 4 levels of the league.
We may have mentioned this before!!

Love history

Love history

Really don't want to hear your love history mate, thanks.

Really don't want to hear your love history mate, thanks.

Why? Because you hate ‘love’? You can’t love? You’ve never been in love?

Love don’t hate JF.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Why? Because you hate ‘love’? You can’t love? You’ve never been in love?...

If I don't want to hear yours I'm definitely not going to be telling you mine. Quite apart from a gentleman not kissing and telling, these text boxes aren't big enough and some of those starlets have good lawyers.

Well, the other thing is you're much less likely to hear Martin Shaw than you are Clive Tyldesley.

On the plus side, he's "far less annoying" than Phil Neville or bloody Mark Lawrenson!

 

[shoddycollins]

One of the most irritating things about playing a Championship side in this cup is that for the next couple of weeks, my Google News searches for Carlisle United will be about 70% stories about Blackburn that mention us in passing.

Love history

I do, spill the beans mate.

On the Mansfield video, his name is Martin shaw.

You'd like to think he'd be a bit more professional.

Preston in 1889 as won cup without letting in a goal

oh I dunno. Both sides have to look at it as a soft chance to progress.
