where’s the red was fair, this ref is terrible, he’s given barrow absolutely everything, we’ve not had a sniff.

We will go on to lose due to the ref but it’s absolutely ridiculous, it’s almost like he had wank when he sent rawson off.

He will give barrow a dodgy penalty or something down the line

Not sure why your team are complaining, each yellow you've had were justified.

Fearful every time you get a corner, you're battering us in the air.

HT at Crawley. Pretty even, with no real chances. Crawley just edging the midfield battle IMHO, just looking slightly better in the air and getting to the ball first. One of those frustrating games where neither side seems to be able to string a decent passage of play together, and it'll either be a 0-0 or a tight win for either side.

Main talking point was a penalty shout where Jolley had his foot stood on making him lose his boot. It looked like an awful dive at first glance, and I think the ref was going to book him before he saw the boot on the pitch! Jolley needs to practice his theatrics a bit

 

[Bottega Don]

This game has been brutal.

It looks like a Premier League team against a non league team in the FA Cup. It's only level because Newport haven't finished a chance yet and have missed a penalty.

 

[Cas]

Absolute dog shit game between us and Rochdale. That Daly hasn't even touched the ball yet. Can't believe he's on the left in place of Vernam. Angol not working up top on his own. Threlkeld needs to go somewhere else.

 

[Conker]

Fearful every time you get a corner, you're battering us in the air.

I think it’s the inconsistency when Banks got away with one for a very similar challenge, just no need for it, if he wants to hand out yellows like that gotta do it for both sides.

Hes been hopeless, the challenge your lad put on where he “chatted to the player” was a nailed on card, does nothing then books our lad, he’s ridiculous.

Mansfield much the better side, but we’ve no chance with this ref

 

[hellogregory]

Sounds scrappy, I'd say we're slightly on top but you're making chances.

I’m watching it. We’re creating nothing. The one sitter we missed was offside, other than that… nothing. Toothless.

I actually cannot believe he just gave Banks a talking too instead of a yellow, he’s had the bastard card in hand all game

 

[LordJord]

Pretty poor game away at Sutton so far, no real quality from either team as of yet. The pitch looks tiny as well!

 

[Bottega Don]

Newport have had 18 shots in the first half to our 2, this has been a complete mauling without Newport scoring.

 

[Soup Ladle]

Absolute shite this, two woeful teams.

Yeah we got away with that one to be fair. Hopefully take advantage.

 

[WilsdenBantam]

Rochdale look appalling, maybe it’s due to losing their strikers but they’re just sitting behind the ball at home at VP they were actually quite attacking. It’s actually a good tactic against us though as we have no answer to it so it’s making for a crap game.

 

[BarraMatt]

If Mansfield stay compact they've still got a good chance of winning this, we struggle to break teams down that set up more defensively.

 

[AdamStag]

We laughed, it’s so flawed.

He literally has given us nothing, if barrow get a leveller or win the game purely down to him i half expect him to have a wank on the pitch.

I look forward to him being ridiculously biased towards us in the 2nd half.

Barrow are hopeless, they’ve absolutely nothing about them.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

That's more like it.

 

[Cas]

Daly off and Cook on. Daly can't have touched the ball more than three times. Very poor debut.

 

[Cas]

Abysmal second half performance from us so far. No idea what that clown says to the players at half time.

 

[hellogregory]

We are a desperately toothless ineffective shower of shite.

The only positive to come from this reality check is it might hopefully kick those at the club into action during the last week of the transfer window. If we want to stay up, we must sign a striker with a bit of presence and quality, otherwise we’ll go down.

 

[F!RTHY]

Abysmal second half performance from us so far. No idea what that clown says to the players at half time.

I can’t work out whether it’s just tactics or we’re just shite! The longer this stays at 0-0, I can see us shithousing a win!

 

[Conker]

Ollie Banks just got a yellow which means he should be off now. We score from the resulting free-kick, poor defending again from Barrow.

 

[Cas]

I can’t work out whether it’s just tactics or we’re just shite! The longer this stays at 0-0, I can see us shithousing a win!

Bit of both I reckon. Can see Rochdale taking it 1-0 tbh.

 

[The Jovial Forester]

Could have done without that Tranmere goal, was nice to see the chasers all drawing.

 

[Cas]

Rochdale should be liquated for Alex Newby's hairdo. From a distance he looks like he's wearing a flat top cap.

 

[BarraMatt]

We've been bobbins. Piece of piss for Mansfield even with ten.

 

[RiftHouseLad]

Absolute shite this, two woeful teams.

You are being disrespectful to shite.

 

[Cas]

Angol's hamstring goes as he's through 1 on 1. Get rid FFS.

 

[Spanishstag]

We've been bobbins. Piece of piss for Mansfield even with ten.

Stags have been immense second half ,going up

 

[The Jovial Forester]

That should seal it.

 

[shoddycollins]

FGR sound about what some of their fans were saying on here before the match.

First half early on we had a foothold in the game and the commentators were optimistic that 'these can be got at' and then they've gotten stronger and now the commentators are just talking about how poor we are and how good they've been.
