Every Stevenage player has been sent a free 90 pass for committing GBH with no recompense courtesy of the EFL. That’s a new one even for you DR, blaming the ref before the game 😉 oodledoodle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carl Sagan Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I'm frustrated we have had such appalling decisions against us all this season and last, yet we never try to put pressure on refs this way. It is part of the modern game and it's potentially a way of sowing doubt in the referee's mind and getting that extra 1% that might make the difference between promotion and not. Instead, when Warne does comment on decisions, it's "Sibley made a shocking challenge and it should have been a penalty". Meaning a ref can feel more able to give a decision against us because our own manager has claimed we've got lucky before.

Its a good point you're making but that's the difference between honesty and deceit isn't it? You could lie/deceive to try get that extra 1% chance you mentioned or you can be honest, have morals and stick to your principles. Warne has chosen the latter and that's commendable, fatty has chosen the former and that's why he's a dislikable p****.

Crewton Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 "Evans..... has been dismayed by some of the decisions that have gone against Stevenage in games against Port Vale, Reading and Bristol Rovers." What happened? Did the fat convict forget the brown envelopes for those games? whiteroseram, NegativeCreep and Van der MoodHoover 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a fine line between putting pressure on referees an naffing them off, so you get nothing. We need to be a bit smarter in getting free kicks ( e.g. Collins & Wilson go down very easily and probably getting a reputation like Chris Martin did) and in wasting time (Wildsmith, throw ins etc). Don’t need events to bite us late in the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1967Ram Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Coming up tomorrow from Shaftesbury, North Dorset. We park on London Road and are thinking of having a pre-match meal at The Coronation, Baker St. Is that a good plan? If so, do we have to book a table (4 people)? If not, where? Hoping for a better game, but an identical number of points, as our last home game - Cheltenham. COYR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eoghan1884 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Stupidly think we will win 2/3-0 tomorrow. NML Bird and Adams on fire all players look too good for the level and think if we match Stevenages fight and desire, which has upped recently. We should win. No wonder NML is on fire just seen if he plays 6 more games for us we will be the club he’s represented the most in his career and needs just 4 goals to beat his record of 20 with Rochdale. Getting a player settled in can really see them flourish. Carl Sagan, Hoppo, I know nothing and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Premier ram Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 18 hours ago, Ram-Alf said: And the mind games have begun...Ladies and Gentlemen I give you...Steve Evens And the former Leeds United boss, who has already begun the mind games ahead of the trip to face the Rams, feels Derby fans have the ability to influence decisions. "When we go to Derby, we just need a fair crack," he said. "We don't need big things to go against us because there are 27,000 or 28,000 Derby fans who get them a decision. "They are going to try. I've been there with teams and they are a brilliant, vocal, home support. I don't know who the referee is, I've not looked, but he has to be strong." Of course you don't Steve...it's...Thomas Kirk...as you full well know 🙄 Calm down and shut up Evans Ram-Alf, Comrade 86 and Steve How Hard? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alty_Ram Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 If we do find ourselves without a recognised striker then it'll be interesting to see what Warne does about it. Chucking Bradley up front (say) is going to require a very different strategy to making an attacking midfielder/wide man into a temporary striker. The latter is surely only going to work with some snappy flowing football. Not much point banging crosses in with Barkhuizen up front unless it is very much part of a swift counter-attacking move with a defence stretched.

Poynton ram Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Why is everyone suggesting we play SB as striker if Collo can’t play? I know he is tall but he isnt the quickest and not seen much attacking flair when he’s up for corners. That said Wanchope wasn’t the quickest from memory and was so unpredictable. Go on then, Sonny to lead the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKRam Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I’m in Tamworth today for the magnificent ales….. and read this……doubt I’ll make tomorrow despite an honourable offer of a ticket.
