The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Pigman it was good to see you at york and i know how loyal you have been to the club over the years, but can you please stop mentioning the fact your no longer visiting nene park, i don't understand your decision but i respect its your freedom of choice not to join the trust or pay £17 to stand on the terrace. I enjoy reading your posts usually but seeing you mentioning your boycott is getting more boring then red dragon and his english lessons. Especially coming on reading it after we've spent our hard earned money watching us lose its not nice you know that.

That was the worst performance i have seen for a few years definantly under JE


Disagree with MOTM had to be Dale Roberts was solid except for Osano's cock up

There no.11 was a absolute prick and the linesman did nothing, he shooting swearing into his face and nothing
it even more dissapointing as they didnt trouble us at all..

I'm not Red Dragon, but could you please reword this?

Also said that the performance was unacceptable and that it was one of the worst since he has been here.

If he's gunna do that, then surely he'll wait for Huke to return. Unless he's thinking of bringing someone in!

Was Robinson injured? I know he was on the bench, but didn't know if there a decent reason he didn't start? We had no width with Day as he never went forward. Robbo would have supported Howe a few times.

It was Osano, he only needed to head the ball back to Dale, but with two players breathing down his neck he decided once again to play smart arse instead of doing the simple safe thing.

Its a free forum and therefore Pigman can FREELY write what he likes. As you have stated hPigman has supported the club through the good times and also the bad times, he has given a lot of his own time to help out with extra curricular activities before/after games to help out. If he decides not to visit anymore and wants to let the world know then that is surely his perogative. I actually agree with his principles and if I lived as far away as him I might also have made the same stance.

It was the opinion of two young mascots and to be fair to them with the football on show it would've been easy not to concentrate on the whole game.

With all due respect, you post what you like, I will do likewise - its called free speech !! If you don't like what I say, its simple, don't read my posts. I mentioned it just so that people who know me realised I still wasn't attending games so am unable to give a balanced view of the match.

It IS a self imposed exile, it is my choice not to attend home games and I don't care if other people don't understand it - its called principles and I have made a decision based on certain views/facts and won't change that decision - simples ;) I miss it like hell, but I'm also a stubborn sod so I know its very unlikely I will be at NP much this season, as I've said before, probably the scum game and any FA Cup tie is all I'll probably compromise - when it comes down to it I may choose not even to do them (keeping fingers crossed for a full set of away fixtures in the FA Cup ;) ).

Just enjoy your football and ignore me if it irks you, thats the best advice I can give ya

Apologies for the mistake, anyway it was poor and if that hadn't gone in it would've been a dire 0-0 game, which was what was said about York as well. So our problem's are defensive lapses and not looking at all threatening up front.

Looking ahead our next two games are against Southport and Histon, Southport will be tough away from home but AFCW and Mansfield have won there so if we're serious about challenging for the play-offs so should we. As for Histon, well if we don't beat them at home then we have serious problems. 2 wins in 4 days and everyone will be happy again, I just hope that Justin can sort out our attacking problems because today was really boring, I don't mind watching us lose but I'd like to see us have a couple of shots on target!
