The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

I'd be the first with questions if he brought that tactic in because one defender and packed front lines formations died out with the end of the 19th century!

Whatever happened to good old 2- 3-5!!!

Alf Ramsay has a lot to answer for!!

will it be a fans' forum or a members' forum? There is quite a considerable difference. Some of us have been loyal supporters of Diamonds/AFC Diamonds for years but have chosen,for various reasons, not to sign up as members.

Best you sign up as a member as I suspect it will be a members forum.

I'd presume it'd be a members forum.

Apart from the affordability angle, I can't understand anyone not wanting to be a member, especially if you wanted to vote and influence the running of the club, but this is a debate had before on here and it got quite devisive. Guess we need to wait for the official announcement to hear, but I'd presume it'll be members only.

Never thought I'd say this, I'm loosing interest. I don't care how low our level of football is, I want players that will run themselves into the ground.. Not players who don't always turn up for training, pick up £160 a week, and just constantly moan. I'm a massive fan of king and dunkley, anyone will tell you that, but there attitude absolutely stinks! And koriya's isn't much better!

Dunkleys attitude and effort has been great. Christ we lose a couple of games and we're moaning like fcuk. HTFU you lot ;)

I'm afraid it will always be the case, I remember people moaning when we got promoted to Div1 8-)

I'm sorry but how is moaning at your teammates whenever they don't put a perfect ball onto his head or blaming teammates for his own misplaced passes a great attitude? He puts in a lot of effort I agree and has done a hell of a lot for the team this season, but I'm sick of seeing him having a go at his teammates and if I was in the team quite frankly I'd be a bit sick of it.

We drop a few points we could/should have gained. A couple of disenchanted reserves leave and suddenly it's doomsday. We are very young as a team and will make mistakes from which we should learn. But,come on, how is moaning at our three excellent strikers going to help? Between them they have scored 48 goals this season already - that's more than Chelsea, Arsenal and Spurs put together - and will go on to score many more, if this criticism from a few of you does not force them to seek fresh pastures. Get behind the team, cheer them on this Saturday and put all this negativity behind you.
