Idiot!

This was my first thought also. Some of our fans on social media can be cringeworthy at times.

Don't get me wrong their keeper does come across as a highly unlikable bloke if you are not a fan of K*ttering.
However if you were to put yourself in his shoes, he's been called ever name under the sun for 45 minutes, some of which he deserved! (I include myself in hurling some abuse, especially after he waved off Westbrook) He's just watched his team score in the 93rd minute to win the game, you could excuse him slightly for wanting to over "celebrate" or rub it in. It's a natural human reaction. If anything I thought the whole Connor McGregor walk/strut was ridiculous. He made himself look like an A Grade idiot! You just have laugh it off, call him a horrible name and move on.

The worst bit for me was when he had a go at Albie for seemingly no reason, but he showed his true character by swiftly running to the K*ttering end once everyone else came in to separate them. Let him enjoy his 2 minutes of fame, come April he'll perhaps have to face the music. As OD#2 has said that video clip alone should act as motivation alone to get the team up for the return match at Hayden Road.

Sorry! I do need to think before I tweet sometimes!

Ground was an absolute state. How will they ever get that up to scratch for Conf North, I'll never know! On the pitch they weren't much better until O'Connor came on and changed the game, how he found on himself on the bench behind that donkey Cunnington???? Proud of the lads yesterday, I hope they're not too disappointed, as they put in a great shift. Keep that level of commitment and performance up and a playoff place won't be out of the picture.

Unfortunately, when it comes to ground grading, your relationship with the ground grader counts for much more than the condition of your ground.

Bloody chicken wire perimeter fencing Dave! Portaloos with no lights, awful catering, scaffolding for a terrace. Imagine when the like of Stockport, York, FCUM have to visit that place!
