We all see the game differently – that much is clear. Unfortunately, little else is clear. Should Thorne have been subbed last night? Was Boulding the man to save the game? Should the team have been booed for putting in effort but failing to get reward for that effort? Who should have taken the penalty? [...]
The first home game of the season was a fairly uneventful affair, but a more enjoyable one than I had expected. Of the new signings, Eastwood was not seriously tested by City’s opponents and it may take a few games before any judgement can be reached on the loan ‘keeper. Williams made an impressive home [...]
This blogger has posted an article that is, while generally factually accurate, making some rather silly assertions.
There was controversy over the refereeing decisions of Trevor Kettle on Saturday at Luton Town versus Bradford City. Kettle was, unfortunately, assailed by missiles from the Luton supporters at the end of the game after he gave a controversial penalty. The commentators on the radio and Simon Parker in the T&A pointed out that it [...]
Chester came for a point and they obviously decided the best way to do that was to play rough, time-waste, and feign injury. Cynical. To sum up the game in a few words, we were up against a team out to frustrate us and stop us playing, we still made a few chances and [...]
Well, the first thing I have to say is that the officials were terrible. No-one round me thought that the Gills’ midfielder Bentley was going to be sent off for his challenge on Paul McLaren, the ref ignored several absolutely blatant fouls on Thorne and Boulding and gave free-kicks that baffled most of the crowd.

Oh dear. City were taken down a peg or two by Bournemouth on Saturday with ex-City striker and current Bournemouth manager Jimmy Quinn taking most of the plaudits for his astute tactics – wing backs with plenty of back-up from the midfielders and just a single striker. City never got Colbeck or Daley one-on-one against [...]
Another Saturday, another three points and another goal for Peter Thorne – if I can keep writing that every week I will be absolutely delighted. So far, we have five points more than at the same stage last season. It’s very early days, but things look promising for Stuart McCall and his squad.
Summary: Rochdale started [...]
He gets the ball, he scores a goal, Peter Peter Thorne!
A good start to the season for City and a cracking start for Peter Thorne. If he could have picked the opening fixture, I reckon he’d have chosen Notts County – I make it six goals in three games against them for Thorne after last [...]
