Bit harsh to write Brooks off after a handful of games. Most were critical of Bazunu during his time at Dale, though admittedly we were in League One at the time, and he's now earning rave reviews and International caps. On the flip side, Moulden was a fan favourite but was roundly panned on here by our Northampton friend a few weeks ago. Goalkeepers are a funny breed. |

Reply | Club Appeal Red Card..
at 18:14 4 Apr 2024
We can all look back misty eyed on the good old days of 40-50 years ago when players were allowed to kick lumps out of each other without recourse and teams employed hatchet men specifically to target more talented members of the opposition. When football was a 'mans game'.
But I've read so many stories from players of that era who had their careers hampered or wrecked by the kind of challenges people seem to be so nostalgic for. There's a hell of a lot wrong with the modern game but attempting to cut down on dangerous and reckless tackles isn't one of them. Players, including Mitchell, know you just can't dive in like he did any more, regardless of winning the ball first. I appreciate others hold different opinions, but it was naive at best.
I've owt against Kairo or the club standing by him. I'd be happy (but shocked) if an appeal is won. |

Was it 'clearly' a bad decision though? Some on here (including myself), don't think so. Would people be so quick to defend the tackle had it been a Pools player cleaning out Nevett? Or Hayes? |

I would agree it was a game today between two sides who look like they can't wait for the season to end, but I don't see how that equates to us 'mugging' them. Hartlepool didn't do nearly enough to kill us off after taking the lead and we kept plugging away with 10 men, they have no cause to feel robbed. Particularly as it was a contentious red card anyway. |

Wouldn't say we mugged them. Thought they were quite poor after their goal when we were probably there for the taking, last 10-15 we deserved a point. |

OK, maybe I overreacted a bit (it was early), but I would still maintain that going on to another team's board to tell them how dross and lucky to be a professional one of their former players is, isn't going to achieve much.
Anyhow, apologies to Cobbler  |

There must be countless examples through time of players held in high esteem by one set of fans moving on and for one reason or another not performing at their new club, it happens.
But to take the time to register on his former team's board and start a thread ranting about it is a bit strange, almost like you find us personally responsible. |

Pretty emphatic win, in complete control for most of the game. Should finally put to bed any lingering doubts about being dragged into any relegation battle, on that evidence though Eastleigh will be looking nervously over their shoulders tonight. |

It was from our right, I think it was Gilmour got turned far too easily by Quigley to get the cross in. |

Fully deserving of the lead at the break, second goal in particular was well worked.
Eastleigh aren't great but seen far too many meek second half surrenders this season to get carried away just yet. |

To be fair, although the sending off was justified and Hayes came in for some rough treatment, I actually though some of the tackles were good and the bookings were a little harsh. Maybe I'm just a football dinosaur |

Phew! A hugely welcome but undeserved three points as we were second best for much of the game, even after they were down to 10 men. Dug in at the end though and another bit of quality from Hayes. There's was a definite red, awful challenge, didn't see what Hendo did. |

Good to see the ref standing firm in the face of the home crowd after some awful acting from Dobra. |

Maybe some players have appearance bonuses or options that kick in for next season after so many appearances that we just can't afford to pay? |

The telling thing is, despite the availability of still photos, replays and slow motion replays, people are still in disagreement other whether it was a penalty or not. The ref gets to see the incident once in real time. He may or may not have made an error but we still had the whole of the second half to rectify it and could've used the feeling we'd been 'wronged' to play with a bit of fire, instead we barely laid a glove on them. We were poor and deserved nothing. |
