Wembley winners v Conference Champions: FGR v Lincoln

[The Jovial Forester]

Collins cleared by the FA: https://www.forestgreenroversfc.com/news/first-team-news/2017/club-statement-fa-clears-collins

Hopefully all a misunderstanding (rain maybe?) as I hope Raggett wouldn't be throwing around those sort of allegations lightly.

Weird (not weird that he's been cleared), but our end were saying it was during the game and your statement says at the end of it.

EDIT - Glad it's been sorted quickly and it wasn't the case (as far as everyone can tell).

I presumed they must have meant at the end when that handbags broke out - if you remember Collins had gone up for one of the late free kicks and stayed for the subsequent corner.

I think Cowley and Raggett owe the lad an apology. Disgusting to go public and try and drag his name through the mud without proof. Cooper not happy at all.

'No evidence' does not mean it didn't happen. We all know there are hundreds of video cameras at League 2 games which will no doubt pick up every incident...

Dunno Chris, I've looked at a couple of images and it's hard to see that the Lincoln players made it all up on the spot. But there's one thing that makes me suspect this could well be the case, and that's Lincoln saying the incident was during the match when apparently it happened right at the end.

edit - if they really made it all right there on the spot, then they surely are in with a shout of winning the oscars.

Yeah, yeah alright. Who's to say you lot weren't just using it as an excuse for your teams pathetic behaviour at the end?

You deserved to win but the behaviour of your management team and some of your players during the game was poor, again. Why do you feel the need to do it? Your a good side without the antics.

Because it's funny.

Given that we sent off video evidence off as well as player statements, it sounds as though we thought there was a decent case. The problem was probably proving it was aimed at Raggett rather than just in his general direction.

It's hardly something that you make up on the spot in the middle of a game, or something you accuse something of without some sort of evidence.

Cooper on the Cowley brothers: "I think their management might be letting the players down by the way they behave. It's attention seeking."

Poor guy. He's obviously butthurt over those three consecutive defeats against us.

 

[Chris FGR]

I'm sure he is.

Doesn't change the fact that some of the Cowley brothers antics are vile. Good at what they do though tbf.

If they would show a bit more class, and make sure their team do the same, they'd get a lot more respect.

Is it because the footage was from abroad that he's so far-fetched? Hope he never gets let on a jury, "I've seen it, but I haven't really."

 

[Davidimp]

Yep we're the bad guys here clearly, we're a dirty side that's one of our players went off at half time with a broken foot having been clattered by your little angels twice..

Have you seen them play? Acting is one of their biggest strengths. Think Farman and Rhead are already up for Oscars as it is. Seems Raggett wants to join them.

The only thing that Stacy West article makes clear is, a) the writer is a deluded, one-eyed tool and b) Raggett fouled Collins and we should have had a pen.

The other "evidence" he cites is laughable.

 

[GTFCfish]

I think both teams should be deducted 10 points for this, FGR for allegedly having a player allegedly spit in someone's face allegedly, and Lincoln for allegedly lying about someone allegedly spitting at one of their players allegedly.
Allegedly.

 

[Luke Imp]

Bit unfair, we're the only team with 10 points!

Was going to say, you'll have to wait til after Christmas to get that many off us
