Clough pooing himself when he gets near the top of the table. Same old.

 

[クレイグ]

A shame the bottom two are so adrift. We deserve a stint in the National League.

BPA is a great day out

 

[Bianconeri 1862]

Barrow-WOh what's with the gay song ?
Team of cynical bulldozers

 

[AnotherStagsFan]

That was the most disgraceful referring performance I’ve watched, bordering match fixing at the end.

BPA is a great day out

Certainly in the better end of Bradford.

You're already safe.

It weren't great yep. For once we were.the beneficeries so I wont complain.

The fact I haven’t seen anyone defend the ref yet shows how bad he was, you usually get some donuts arguing the other way.

 

[Indian Dan]

Much improved from us. Energy all over the pitch. Kept it fairly simple. Knock it over or round Bradford’s lumbering CBs and chase the ball down. Not kidding myself we’d turn over one of the top sides but that was a refreshingly enjoyable 90 minutes.

Not sure where Bradford go from here. Think our rookie keeper made 1 save. Very few shots on or off target. Their fans deserve much more than that.

 

[TheEndIsNigh]

Bad opponents to get the shittest ref I’ve seen this season. Barrow looked a half decent footballing side at their place but were dirty, horrible, cynical wankers today. That tackle on Jones was horrendous, but refs only seem to give reds for those studs up challenges nowadays rather than the chopping/booting one we saw today. Clear pen for the foul on Macca as well.

All told though we were ponderous in attack today, similar to how we’ve been against all the better sides at home.

Pleasant to see the annual Stags bottle job is well under way.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

Missed a hatful of chances. Hit the woodwork and gave away two soft goals.
Story of our season.

 

[Cloudy]

Good win for Rovers steadying the ship before a tricky February. The match stats suggest maybe a tad fortunate, those at the game may be better equipped to assess. A couple more wins will see us secure the primary goal of FL survival.

Make no mistake Tranmere were awful today BUT, by far the better side

If the stats suggest anything other than an away win, they are wrong. Pure and simple

Rumours of a bit of argy bargy in the tunnel plus this

Don't think anyone does and that's the problem. Woeful from us today.

In fairness wimbledon fans can’t really do much about it, much like we couldn’t if we were the beneficiaries, i just don’t get what the point of playing the game is if you’re going to get a ref like that (and we’ve had them go for us as well, and will in the future).

They’re supposed to be professionals, they’re supposed to be neutral, this bloke was something else.

 

[Master D]

I feel l like Parky would splash out 500k on Matt Smith next week.

 

[Conker]

Clough is fuming in the post match dunno if I’ve ever seen him speak like that, claiming 4th official was being unprofessional and trying to bait our bench.

From our perspective obviously it’s focused on the referee, the penalty claim was a clear, blatant penalty and the only question is was it a red card for the Wimbledon player? Well if it wasn’t then Bowery red card was incorrect too. He didn’t even book DKD for a dive - why would he fall to the ground when he’s clear on goal? Whatever the refs name was, he needs banishing down to a pub league.

I don’t want to discredit Wimbledon who are a good side, but the referee directly affected the result of that game today.

 

[Bianconeri 1862]

Langstaff's flattened in the box, probably cost us 2 points, it happens, don't worry we're gift wrapping you your 3 points for next week

Fucking big game, that’s for sure.

 

[Ellis]

Two reds for Mansfield is it? Cloughie and his gang of thugs heads are gone. Should have made top spot their own after NYD if they had any bottle.

 

[The_Viking_Magpie]

Fucking big game, that’s for sure.

Nah I'm reliabily informed that's only when you play Chesterfield.

Big bet on the usual Mansfield win as mysteriously the home side all of a sudden raise their game and find their shooting boots when we turn up.

 

[Optipez]

I'll have to watch the highlights as I was following on live updates but seems an interesting comment on our threat based off the stats.

Always take a point in a game away from home against a playoff rival. Gained on Mansfield and Crewe but MK Dons have caught up further, and like I said on Tuesday, they were Graham Alexander away from pissing promotion.

First twenty minutes you were very dangerous but after that not really. We didn't test your keeper enough to deserve the win.

Still time yet.

How was Devoy? He never really fitted into our team but if you could do a 'Kemp' on him it would be appreciated.!!!

Bowery's was a straight red and Quinn got a second yellow after he had been subbed.

Really enjoyed Clough’s interview on Radio Nottingham on the drive home. No chance he’s escaping a fine/ban for those comments

Swings and roundabouts. I seem to remember us getting a player sent off at Mansfield possibly last season that was never a sending off. Some weeks you get the rub of the green others you don't. I'd rather have a dodgy ref than VAR though . I don't think your player should've been sent off today. I've not seen the possible penalty for you back again so can't comment on that.
