sounds just the same to me but thanks anyway Les :)

Loud and clear in Iraq  8)

did not expect to read that!  8)

Glad to see that starting 11, come on Town! UTM  :)

it's a strong team. I'm hoping to see a 6-1 victory to mirror our two wonderful victories last season, what are the odds?

Tranmere 1 up already

FGR 1-0 down to tranny

FGR seem to concede a lot of goal early into their games

Dover WERE losing at home.  Encouraging anyway.

Apparently Gary Taylor Fletcher plays for Tranmere now (Confused)

Torquay commentary eulogising over Bogle. Cmon Town!

Dominating this we need to take one of these chances come on town

Surprised Amond is starting, after his lack of tracking back he did on Tues night. Used to wonderkid of negativity undroppable Tomlinson to be playing.

Quoted from Chrisblor

They're also apparently close to signing McNulty as well. Shocked isn't really the word.

FGR 0 - 2 Tranmere

That's a decent following.

That looks a lot of town fans,

Well done guys.

Fs typical

Oh intercourse off

That sounds poor....

1-0 down and just before half time  :(

Should be smashing these, they're in turmoil.

intercourse sake

Can get back into this! Come on Town!

This will be the standard 2 steps back result that we get every time we seem to be making a bit of head way in this league

Could do to be winning this with FGR losing and Cheltenham v Eastleigh too!

How a team goes from winning 7-0 to losing against Torquay 😒

half-time talk, second half, we score 6

Come on town torquay are shite ffs

If we win here that puts us 4 points behind Cheltenham at the moment.

Have we had two wins on the bounce this season ?

yes v Barrow, Bromley and then Boreham wood and Aldershot.

As has been said why do we always build up a head of steam then urine it away at a tinpot team.. Never understood it.

Hoping we can turn this round in the second half and get the three points we deserve!

I hate Torquay...our record against them must be poor.  I can't remember us getting many results at their place.  Need to come out and get an early goal.

Also it could be a new manager syndrome didn't they appoint Chris Todd

faith gentleman! by all accounts we outplayed them 1st half, need to get an early goal 2nd half though and then take it from there, musnt lose this game

Quoted from Meza

Also it could be a new manager syndrome didn't they appoint Chris Todd

That was Eastleigh but they have a new manager in Kevin Nicholson who has got them doing ok first few games

Ah thanks for putting me right mariner16

Can't remember Graham Cawthorne playing for Town. Was he a better footballer than co-commentator?

Three times the commentators have squealed, "And there's a dangerous ball in from Townsend". "Fizzing", just been added. Sounds promising.

UTM

We've won there on our last 2 visits!

Town fans still in fine voice, amazing support

Its going to be one of those Saturdays lol

Anyone at the game know how we have done in the 1sr half.

What a poor start to the half

Torquay have won 3 out of 17 games before today. If they win today HALF of their wins will have come against us. Completely unacceptable to throw away so many points to such a excrement team.

Things just dont seem to be going right for us today

Quoted from Chrisblor

Torquay have won 3 out of 17 games before today. If they win today HALF of their wins will have come against us. Completely unacceptable to throw away so many points to such a excrement team.

How can 1 win out of 4 be half??

The champions of this league won't throw away five points to Torquay

Quoted from Chrisblor

Torquay have won 3 out of 17 games before today. If they win today HALF of their wins will have come against us. Completely unacceptable to throw away so many points to such a excrement team.

Good story bro except we drew here  :-/

Quoted from GtfcGarner

How a team goes from winning 7-0 to losing against Torquay 😒

I can't believe people were actually deluded enough to think by beating what was probably the worst team to visit BP in recent memory 7-0 we were now all of a sudden going to Storm the league or something!
Nothing will change whilst Hurst remains, average team in a very poor non league.

If the game is half as boring as the commentary team then we're f@#ked.

This very disappointing

Cant keep blaming referees. We all know that in this league they are flipping excrement

C,Mon Town!

Sounds like we're spending ore time complaining to the referee than we are sorting the match out

Oh dis!!😰😰

Penalty town!!!! A

Come on Omar

Get in Omar

Come on!!!!!!! flipping yes omar!!!

get in  ;D

Get in Bogle

Get in Bogle! Come on Town, another now! UTM

That's a real gift - hope we can capitalise on it now! Come on town!

Yess come on town lets get another

Jesus I was sweating then  :o

Yeeeeeeessssssss!!

Plenty of time. Come on Town!!!!

Goal GOAL Goal GOAL Goal GOAL

From the commentary it sounded like a red card. Clean through and tripped up.

Come on town let's go win this game........C' Mon TOWN

In space of a few seconds Eastleigh equalise, and so do Altrincham

Eastleigh equalised too. Love a draw in that one.

Looking like a "Braintree" performance and result now - at the very worst.  We are up against 12 men with the ref.  

I just knew we'd do it, C,Mon have faith!

Altincham now lead at gateshead

I'd like to hear the Ref's explanation of why its a yellow not a red. Get in Omar. Lets get another.

Cmon town about time we get a late goal

Gateshead now losing at home.

Gateshead are on a bad run at the moment.

Sounds like there's lots of fight in this Town side.

We sound like a much better team now!

Off the line 3 times in a minute!!

Shoullllllllhave been a strait red for the keeper. unless he wasnt the last man

Jeeeez, that sounded close. Saved by a keeper who seemingly should have been off. Grrrrr

*And another off the line!

Cmon TOWN!

This is killing me :(

Everything stays the same and its another point gained on top.

Come on Town we can do it.

Quoted from zorro_is_a_Mariner

Everything stays the same and its another point gained on top.

That's right, the equaliser was so important considering the other results, just need to beat Cheltenham next week now. ;)

Dover are doing well too don't forget

Yeah Aswad Thomas been playing for them.

We love to make things difficult for ourselves don't we

Another excrement draw against another excrement team.

Well i think most if not all expected 3 today, but 1-0 down i am happy to take a point, and it does close the gap at the top

Anther draw against relegation fodder, not good enough Hurst out.

Me too.

Sets up the Big Friday game nicely! A run out for some of the fringe players / kids next weekend first would be good though... UTM  :)

Neede the win-should have put these away despite the awful ref. Still Chelt and FGR dropping points at home so not all bad. :-/

Bit disappointing but looks like we'll be another point nearer the top and we're 11 unbeaten. Just feels like if we could put a run of 4 or 5 wins together that we could really take a grip of this league.

Quoted from Hagrid

Your always happy with a point , Are you Paul Hurst in disguise ?

Good point i think and keeps the unbeaten run going.  

Quoted from Meza

Yeah know what you mean meza, but to many draws for my liking  :-/

How many off the line was it in total- 4?

But Grimps you're only happy when we lose? Are you a scunny/hull/gimp in disguise

Quoted from grimps

Your always happy with a point , Are you Paul Hurst in disguise ?

Wouldnt of been happy at the start of the game with 1 point but the way the game was going we could of easily lost that 1-0..so take into context cheltenham didnt win and fgr lost and we gained a point on them i think a draw is acceptable.

FGR on a ludicrous run of form. 27 points from the first 9. 8 from the second 9. Yet still top. Bonkers.

Support today sounded ace. 362 there. Been at Wimbledon v Morecambe and there were only 98 away fans despite it being an hour (50+ miles) less.

Great thread this. Im a simplistic soul but will never understand how last weeks draw was perceived as poor but this week its good.
Football eh?!?! Bloody Hell.

Quoted from Hagrid

But Grimps you're only happy when we lose? Are you a scunny/hull/gimp in disguise

I'm only happy when we win , which is not often enough

Well I have to say that I was expecting a banana skin today. We were outmuscled by Torquay at home earlier in the season and it is a long way away from home for our team and supporters to travel. We ought to have beaten them today but you cannot account for several attempts being cleared off the line. Sometimes all your shots go in like last week, sometimes they don't. Our team NEVER give up and that is a great trait!
Other teams dropped points. This league is becoming tighter and tighter and we seem to be in a great position as far as I can tell. We are entering the cold season soon and this will be the real test. I believe we will prosper during that time.
We are proving a very difficult team to beat. There is a great chance of promotion here... and even greater if we can get a cheeky victory over Cheltenham on 30th October to keep this run going.
I am in confident mood tonight!

Thankfully we have a strong bench to change things around if required, a great unbeaten run,  4th in the table,  two strikers in the top five, and its not even Christmas yet 8)

Nice to hear JT say the subs made a difference to day. Maybe 15 minutes earlier.........

I'm not surprised we didn't manage to win today, we always seem to fail to get anything if the teams above us drop points just seems to be what happens

No point going top yet. You're there to be shot at if you are.

We'll sit just below the pace and then hit them with a ten game winning streak at the end of the season so that we go to Tranmere already Champions.  ;D

9 draws from 18. If only…..................……

Quoted from sonofmadeleymariner

I'm not surprised we didn't manage to win today, we always seem to fail to get anything if the teams above us drop points just seems to be what happens

But we are 1 point closer to the top of the table now, aren't we?

A pity we couldn't get the victory today, but keeping the unbeaten run going is handy, especially after going behind.

Will be interesting to hear what those at the game thought but the match stats indicate that we had plenty of efforts on target so perhaps should have scored more than one?

Quoted from Rodley Mariner

Another excrement post....

And I couldn't give a excrement what you think.

They're all back again!

Quoted from ackomariner

Yeah know what you mean meza, but to many draws for my liking  :-/

Yeah i know acko, had we been in front i would say 2 points drop but getting an equaliser we have to be grateful.  I wasn't there so waiting for the just back tread to give me some insights into todays game.  Hagrid said we dominated the first half, so maybe it was just one of those days.  A win against Cheltenham and the table may look a little better, shame about the dover result.

"We'll never catch up 12 points on Forest Green !!" - ah, well, we're down to 5 points behind them, and it could have been 3 today if results had gone our way !

Listening in seemed like 11 against 12 and should have been 10 with their goalie being sent off.

Didn't happen so let's get over it - point gained, long hard trip, move on !!

Well i think a point away is a decent result and i suppose it keeps the unbeaten run going.

Shame we couldnt get a win today especially at a team struggling but i will take a point...

It keeps us in the hunt and im looking at it as a positive tonight.

Are you alright Jonny? Has anyone taken your temperature today?

No i feel like excrement.

Thanks for asking though.

Slowly Slowly catchie monkey or the village people !

A point away and the unbeaten run continues.......and more importantly though 5 points behind FGR we are in the mix with a good goal difference.........This surely feels better than when we where sitting 10th?

Said it all along it's 2 from 4 the 4 being us FGR, Tranmere and Cheltenham. Not sure I could do another play off though. A week Friday is really important as if we win that we can be considered proper contenders.

Just need to do something we have yet been able to do - put a winning run together.

Would you rather people say "bloody rubbish Town. Not good enough." I thought negativity was verboten.

Quoted from KingstonMariner

Would you rather people say "bloody rubbish Town. Not good enough." I thought negativity was verboten.

Actually I'd rather people shared my view that a point away regardless is a good point. It intrigues me that the Fishinista can deem a point against a team on a par with us position wise as a bad result but one against a team way down the league is a satisfactory/good one. Care to comment?

Really struggle to understand why after every game we have to go through  sack PH etc 4 points every 2 games will see us on top but if football was easy to predict bookies would make no money, surprisingly the other team also wants to win.

Bid game a week Friday win that and we are trolly moving forward, lets just back them for now & start moaning if in two months we have no chance of top spot.

Nearly home. My lad had a great day until twits of stewards took his ball of him. He's 6. With a signed ball!

Tossers!

All stewards should be like the ones at Borehamwood this season, kept things safe, engaged professionally with the fans and made sure that everyone enjoyed the day.

I would drop a line to our club I am sure they will sort your lad out with something decent................. If any Trust Officials read this could they help?

I suppose there's a sense of relief at coming back from a goal down. And we clawed a little bit of ground back on the leaders, unlike the draw we played out with the leaders (a draw favouring them as it preserved their lead and ran down another game.

So yeah, I can understand why people would see today's draw in a more positive light.

did he get the ball back afterwards si?

I cannot comment on the performance as that was the first game of the season I have missed.

As to whether it was a good result, of the bottom 6 teams we have failed to beat 4 of them so far and one of those we have failed to beat twice.
