The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Firstly I'd like to say welcome to Rushden & Diamonds, secondly, I'd like to say that the next time you close down the goalie and the ball goes out for a goal kick instead of placing the ball on the side that the keeper has been kicking it from all game, which then gives him the chance to waste even more time by picking it up and placing it on the other side of the 6 yard box, why don't you place it in the middle? He would have half the distance to travel then, wasting even less time!!!

Btw this is not a dig at Ryan, I think when he came on on Saturday his attacking play was just what was needed and again when he came on last night he added that little bit of extra bite to our attacks. Hope he gets to start at Barrow and we retain the 442 formation and team that finished the game at Bath.

Haha Brilliant Idea the keeper last night really took the piss, especially going down injured then playing on out of his hands :evil:

He impressed me again last night and definantly puts in 100% effort

I was thinking about that at the time. The ref didn't give anything and waved play on, and the keeper kept the ball in his hands for in excess of a minute. If that is within the rules then i need to brush up.

We did get 6 mintues of added time!

Peno would have been better ;)
