Boro lead but also had one off line and one hit post. They had a couple of chances saved by Bache.
Boro much better side, they a dangerous side looking to hit us on break.

What's given out during the game is always provisional until a full reconciliation is done after the match.
Hats off to those volunteers that do it, they miss most of the game and it's very rarely different!

Maybe get a sense of humour transplant, or look up the word "pun" in a dictionary?
P.S. Whilst we are being pedantic , a few punctuation tips : it is customary to place a question mark at the end of a sentence where an answer is required. And to start a new sentence with a capital letter.
If you want to sort me out , just come up to me at the next home game and say hello. I'll gladly oblige. :-)

May I suggest you look at an satellite image from google and you'll see Nuneaton is mostly grey and green, not blue before being pedantic about forum names.

Superb....AGAIN!
Views: 891
I only go back to Beazer Midland days (when I'm sure we played Bridgnorth?) but in terms of goals scored , this is the most entertaining season for me yet. I have NEVER experienced a season when so many goals have been scored-and I don't give a stuff about levels. This squad are winning and punishing the opposition because they work hard for each other, they are not without talent and they clearly care about wearing the shirt.
Bridgnorth had a few decent players and made a game of it first half. But Like so many visiting teams, they lost their tempers. Even before Borough scored they got gobby and argumentative and so lost direction. First of all with the officials and then during the second half with each other. Cue another rout.
Some of Boro's football this season has been outstanding. To an extent where for the first time in years I look forward to the next home game.
Only one minor grumble. For the fourth time at The Oval this season, I got stuck next to a couple of whingers first half and had to move away, as they were really pissing me off. Why do they come? Beats me.

One of those old whingers lived over the road from my house, my mum asked him to take to my first Boro game v Chelmsford 1971 aged 13.
It was after lloyds cancelled the baggies coach and I was missing footie.
Been going Boro ever since, After a few weeks got my mates to come with me and we walked from Weddington over the fields via Sandon park, dog shit railway bridge, Jodrell St and Manor Ct road.
Yes him and his mate shout rubbish and crap at every loose pass but I learned a while ago to stand somewhere else, cant fault their loyalty though.

Moaning
Views: 553
There is moaning..and then there is moaning for moaning's sake. The people I am talking about shout their rubbish at the players and then turn round, as if to seek support from others. There is none, because they single out individual players and identify what they see as their mistakes. Almost everything they shout comes indirectly off the telly.
Forum "moaning" usually is no such thing. It's just a varied group of people expressing different opinions. "Forum": as I have often suggested, the clue is in the name.
Hands up, I have moaned for England over the years. As much as anyone. But rarely if ever at the players. I did grumble about Gary Bradder on the one of two occasions I ever sat in the stand at MP. He was club captain at the time but injured hence sitting nearby. He spent more time checking results elsewhere than he did encouraging those playing and wearing the shirt. I thought that was a poor show.
Being judgemental, I doubt the armchair moaners have ever coached, played, run the line or refereed. Those of you who have, may well agree with Lee Dixon that shouting things at individuals does not really make anyone play any better. You know when you have made a mistake on the field. You don't need to be reminded about it again by some nonentity watching.

No, I was joking as you said about Bradder checking in on other matches.
The bloke you mean stood on the Rugby club side at the kiosk end at LW with his little radio and yellow puffer coat and beard. I have not seen him this season at Bedduff. Expect someone on here will know who he is.

There are two sets of whingers I have to avoid to protect my blood pressure . One is an old boy who looks about 90 and his son.
Yesterday however it was a younger, middle aged bloke and his missus . They were at it ( I kid you not), within the first few minutes, shouting the sort of claptrap at Boro players that the pundits use on telly. I'd already moved away before Boro' scored their first. ( I bet it choked them).
They pay their entrance money, same as me, so I guess that entitles them to moan knowledgeably and the onus is on me to move away before I myself say something abusive. So that's what I do.
I liked what Lee Dixon said during a commentary yesterday about touchline shouters: " They can rant away as much as they like but no-one listens to them. I never did."
Funny old game.

Second half was one of our best 45 mins of the season . Think it was only five because we went into cruise mode last 20 mins or so . Bridgnorth weren't bad but we were a different class .
Ten points clear at the top in fact due to our goal difference you can say eleven .

I agree with that aa2. When we pause the frantic Freddie approach and we play steady and measured,as we did second half,then we are as good as anybody in this league. Cannot wait for the video highlights as we scored a few beauties today.The others will have thought that today was a potential bananskin but will feel depressed with the result. On to Wednesday now.
The King is dead. Long live The King.

I really must make the effort to get down. I was looking for an evening game, but fixture imply there ain't going to be any.
Irrelevant as NTFC are now being run properly.
I see the messiah and his mad mate* are really working hard to achieve what they didn't when at boro (getting out of the SL-Central). Dropped to 21st today. I was forwarded a text that he claimed that finally Barwell would be able to compete with the rich-boys in the league.
* what's happened to the club he left to join the boro since he left ;)
PS - Seems Daly has left the club/football. I don't look at this forum as much now, so if "old new" the so-be-it.

95/96 aged about 10 I went to Bridgnorth
Brendan Phillips first season managing
Peter Gleasure in goal, dived to try and save an indirect free kick and tipped it in
Soon afterwards we signed Paul Hayward and went on to win the league.
95/96, 98/99 and 09/10 our most entertaining seasons
