Mind boggling how they are above us in the league with that team, although I would take 2-3 of them here to be honest.

Brilliant. To be fair Robin, how many teams have looked that much better? Our lack of goalscoring has cost us in most games.

Shade · 17 Apr 2017, 15:53

They were booing Pell because he used to play for them on loan (and was s#!t byball accounts) and they reckon he dived for the free kick that led to our first at WR last season.

Absolutely love Grimsby. Their fans are melts and they are forever 6 points for us.

Absolutely agree. Honestly they should just be fined for wasting our time sending a team on the field during our fixtures. Everyone knows the result

Shade · 17 Apr 2017, 16:14

To be fair, they do occasionally beat us. I can't remember when, but it's just whenever we need to it's 3 points. Or promotion, if it's a play-off final.

Would save everyone a lot of bother. Last season Wright got harshly and unjustly banned after the fixture, and today he loses a tooth and their thug is banned - he won't play again this season.

None of this nonsense would happen if they just gave us the points.

Shade · 17 Apr 2017, 16:19

Has he actually lost a tooth?

Was hard to say whether it came out or was just loose. It bled a fair bit, and when he came off to the touch line he was either wobbling it with his tongue and finger, or putting his tongue and finger in the gap and was in pain. Before coming back on the pitch he spat something out - looked more like blood/spit than a tooth, so may it didn't actually come out and was just loose.

Shade · 17 Apr 2017, 16:49

That's the referees mistake, Ben. From this season, the rules say you don't need to go off if a player has been carded for a foul. Clueless ref - what a surprise. Gav Crowe couldn't believe it and was asking the lino. But the lino was clueless as well judging by a couple of throws he gave Grimsby's way.

Malabus · 17 Apr 2017, 17:29

I thought Grimsby were just a poor and average side. Look forward taking another 6 points next season.

Make it an all ticket 11am kick off next time just to p!ss them off even more. Pell can goad them before they've even digested breakfast.

From their forum:

"Cheltenham dived, elbowed and cheated as per the norm."

Bitter indeed!

CTFC03 · 17 Apr 2017, 18:15

Must say Manny and Boyle need to do less climbing, another ref today would have given them tonnes of free kicks, great overall performance, we are so close to survival!

Exactly.

Dived, elbowed and cheated

Literally can't remember a dive, even from Pell, or elbow, apart from the one where Wright must have smacked himself in the mouth and managed to blame it on their guy.

Bitches bitching and moaning as is their wont.

London Exile · 17 Apr 2017, 18:33

They really are blinkered those fishy folk. Was it not their player that got sent off for a terrible and blatant elbow on Wright? I didn't see who it was, possibly Davies, but Stoz was prevented from getting up quickly to react to a loose ball a couple of times.
Pearson is a donkey who loves to use his elbows as well. I could go on.

Love it when we beat teams and they pi$$ and moan senseless about how 'unfair' things are.

Also glad we beat Slade after the way he messed us around over Dillon Phillips in the summer

Just had a look on the fishy. Jesus they hate us.

I was not there, (see my blog for more details), but from one of the earlier posts, Wright was bleeding after the challenge, so while the referee does not have to send him to the touchline having given a card to his opponent, he does have to go off for treatment due to the blood.

I've never really understood Grimsby's obsession with us, as from our perspective there is no rivalry to speak of - they're just another ten to a penny small northern team, fluttering around the lower leagues....the only difference being that they fit in to the 'delusions of grandeur' category that the likes of Crewe also inhabit.

We've been dross for the most part of the season...yet we've still taken 6 points off of them, easily. With fresh faces over the summer (no obligations to give the promotion team a 'chance'), a new pitch and no ground share....we'll be looking good.

He had already been treated on the pitch. Nothing was done to him when he went off (he did spit out some blood, but he did that several times after going back on as well), he stood on the touchline for 3 or 4 seconds before being waved back on.

They certainly do. Much of that bitterness doubtless stems from losing the play-off final, which sparked their slide down to the Conference, and also their subsequent inability to get any points off us. They do have one point though, borne out of the 'arrogance' many clubs have towards relative newcomers to the FL.

Despite what some say on here, we are still a bit 'non-league' in certain respects, notably our modest and (generally) less-than-passionate support. Much as I'd love the club to have a sizeable and passionate fan base, it's hard to imagine that happening here anytime soon for anything other than the odd game. Many 'established' FL clubs seem to look down on us - much as they probably view the likes of Morecambe, Crawley, Barnet, Fleetwood and - dare I say - even Burton Albion. I sense that it would take many decades for a club like ours to be fully 'accepted' into the FL fold. Not that it really matters - we are who we are.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa · 19 Apr 2017, 08:06

Grimsby still look down on Scunthorpe as being a smaller club.

Deluded.

19 Apr 2017, 08:50

That's a funny one VickeryC. I do agree that our support isn't great at times, especially in comparison with some clubs like Luton, Plymouth and Pompey etc. however if you went away last season it was pretty clear we are not quite "non-league". What I mean by that is our support was far more vocal than 90% of clubs last season where the atmosphere was like a morgue in fact only Wrexham, Lincoln, Grimsby and Aldershot made any real noise.

I also think we are well ahead of clubs like Crawley, Morecambe, Burton and Fleetwood who very much have that non-league feel about them. It's not just that those sides have no fans because Accrington can generate an atmosphere on tiny crowds it's a mentality thing.

If you look at clubs like Luton, Plymouth etc their away support has groups of men together having a few beers singing a few songs, our home support has that behind the goal in the C&G but the other sections of the ground don't mirror that being more families, OAPS and people more spread out.

I feel our support is better compared to the likes of Mansfield, Shrewsbury, Exeter, Wycombe, none of us have great vocal support and travel in modest numbers.

Del Boy · 19 Apr 2017, 09:16

Burton are closer to the Premier League than they are us let alone non-league. Your statement really is ludicrous.

RegencyCheltenhamSpa · 19 Apr 2017, 12:14

To be fair, Robin did say it is about mentality not league position.

We were talking about the atmosphere and general passion of fans, not league position.
