Why do you have a soft spot for Hereford?

Why do you have a soft spot for Hereford?

It' all down to football management games to be honest mate. From LMA manager to championship manager to Football manager i've always had a lot of fun with hereford and the game have made me fall in love with the club and the place in general.

I get down to games on the odd occasion and even go for weekend visits with the girlfriend on cottage stays.

I hope as a Bulls fan yourself you don't find that lame, i know people have their own opinions about supporting second clubs...

 

[ForeverUnited]

Oh, I see, that is interesting. I have checked results now and then of clubs, I've taken over on FM too.

Not at all, good to have another fan on here to discuss the southern leagues.

 

[Tivvyultras]

Looking forward to Saturday Forever United?

 

[ForeverUnited]

Yes, hoping to get back to winning ways at home but a draw would be fine. with Slimbridge, Wimborne, Larkhall and Swindon S in Feb, we should be getting at least 10 points, so a draw wouldn't be too bad either.
Will you be bringing many up? a crowd of 3000ish would be great, but thought that for Taunton.

 

[Tivvyultras]

about 100-150 I reckon should be good

vital 3 points today, especially with Evesham, Taunton and of course Tiverton all dropping points. Now, I believe it is a case of when than if. Really tough scrappy game today, the ref was awful for both sides and lost control of the game totally. Absolutely stunning goal by Pablo, incredible. What were your thoughts TU?

 

[Tivvyultras]

It was a scrappy game the Penalty that was given was quite obviously a dive second half he should given Hereford a penalty which he missed completely go figue that great headder from Tom to make it 2-1 from tgen on it really could have gone either way we had a good pen shout wich the ref missedwe lost to a streetwise team. what was going on in technical area that caused that kuffuffel?

 

[ForeverUnited]

The penalty couldn't have been more in front of me, blatant dive. Actually thought he'd given a penalty in the second half for us, was very confusing from the meadow end.

Should have been 2-2 when we lost the ball in the area and crossed in, but somehow Harris and Oates kept it out. Thought you were a decent side, one of the best to play at ES so far.

Bridgwaters first double of the season. This is where the season starts and Town go on to win all their games and stay up by one point. Well that's what Carlsberg would say.

If its on 11:30 am Pitch inspection

 

[ForeverUnited]

Easy 3-0 win over Slimbridge on a rough pitch. 21 points clear with a late equaliser for Yate at home to Evesham and Paulton beating Taunton helps too. 17 points clear even if Taunton win all their games in hand. Not long now.

Drew 1-1 against St.Ives yesterday. Wasn't at the game so can't comment too much.

It's just disappointing as we were 1-0 up til fairly late and I imagine we gave away a stupid penalty.

I'm beginning to lose hope that we will stay up now, there's a clear lack of confidence with the inability to hang on to a lead. The only glimmer of hope I can see is that we have games in hand. Personally though, I think we are continuing our slide down the leagues and will be in the Div. 1 Central next season.

Quick question(s):
When is the league cup Semi-Final draw?

And

Is it over 2 legs?

And

Is the final at neutral grounds? (Can we make the final?!?)

It is fantastic to see us do well in a cup for once and I guess it does ever so slightly make up abit for this dreadful season so far.

Hereford didnt win? Whats going on? Haha.

 

[ForeverUnited]

Best player out, several others missing. very very poor performance from us, they played well too.

I think we will win the league at Salisbury on the 25th. It is a matter of when now but must improve our squad a lot for next season.

Our form has been incredible this season but were not as good as we were last season, due to losing Grant and Bundu both due to their visas with the latter now playing regularly for a club in the danish top tier.

Another struggling performance. Lucky we have Mills.7 goals away from 100 since the start of last season, but went off with a hamstring injury at the end. Hope that is not too long, we need him right now. Last three games he's scored all of our goals. 3 more points towards the title!

Match Highlights between Leamington and Chesham United. Ex-Pro's Darren Purse and Barry Hayles featuring for Chesham in their 40's!

Game abandoned due to crowd trouble ffs.

Game abandoned due to crowd trouble ffs.

Just read that, some knob headbutting Didcot's keeper when you were one up in the 87th minute: http://www.herefordtimes.com/sport/15134196.Hereford_FC_match_abandoned_due_to_crowd_trouble/

 

[ForeverUnited]

There wasn't any headbutt. The lad ran on the pitch when we scored to go 2-1 up and he from the video I've seen he put his finger up at the goalkeeper, the goalkeeper and the fan engage in pushes for a couple of seconds when the camera man drags the fan off the pitch, as he was going another of their players comes over and shoves the fan into the railings, before throwing many punches at the cameraman, causing everyone to get involved. sadly, this idiot confronting their player has cost us a valuable 3 points with Taunton drawing.

Turned very ugly very quickly. The headbutt never took place, no one who was there has mentioned any headbutt. This is the first crowd trouble we've had in the league this season of any kind besides someone running on the pitch when we scored against Tiverton back in September. Larkhall and Bridgwater had a huge 22 men scrap as well as managers and staff back in January, still, nothing happened over that as far as we can tell.

Stupid idiot causing all this, but Didcot throwing punches and assaulting fans is just as bad. Expecting a fine for this, hopefully the result will stand.
