Not going to plan so far...

Cheltenham 1-0 Rotherham
Crawley Town 1-0 Barnet
Dag & Red 1-1 Gillingham

Win tomorrow and we're no worse off than before tonight. Too early to be concentrating on others results IMO.

Agree.

Or win tomorrow and we're no better off, if your glass is half empty! With 3 of our promotion rivals playing tonight I would say it's worth concentrating on tonight's games.  :)

I don't understand why a lot of people say, "Ooooh, I'm not interested in other teams' results, I'm only interested in what we do."

Let's say you are two points behind the team above you. You win, you get three points. But they also win so they also get three points. You don't go up any places. However, if you win and they only draw, you will go above them in the league. (Just one example but I could give you thousands more if needed.)

Therefore, why on earth would anyone not be interested in how the teams around them are doing? ???

I keep an eye on the table and points totals, I just don't feel the need to be concetrating on every game, goal by goal.. at this stage of the season. I will be 6 weeks or so :)

No point getting stressed out about other teams results yet

Then in true BBC News style, I suggest you look away now...

GOAL: Dag & Red 2-1 Gillingham : Woodall (65)

WHOOHOO!  :beers:

Ironically, the Crawley goal scorer against Barnet was none other than....Barnett  ???

It is irritating though.  There's a pack of teams ahead of us who are not choking and picking up points, week after week.  A few weeks ago I thought we were going to start making up ground, but at the moment all we seem to be able to do - at  best - is to keep pace.  I feel that we're going to need to step up another gear to push on in to the top three.

If we can put together a winning run, the other results will take care of themselves.

But after a 15 game unbeaten run you would expect to find yourself in the top two or three but we were still only 5th or 6th because the bastards above us kept winning as Ardiles alluded to.

I would therefore conclude that the other results do not necessarily take care of themselves.

Maybe not, but getting stressed about them isn't going to help.

Especially if that stress transfers to the team & our performance levels drop.

Also need to remember of those 15 games, 5 of them were cup games & we drew 4.

If we could win 5 or 6 on the bounce I'm sure we will close the gap.

Ps has the Daggers game finished yet.  :)

yes, daggers won 2-1

street party time?!

Three points for D&R will certainly make Northampton nervous.  Good result for us in more ways than one.

No chance, Crawley and Cheltenham winning has ruined my weekend  :suicide:

Also see that the Shitheads won at Southampton

Ruddy hellfire!!!!! i'm going to go attack things etc

For those interested, Accrington are beating Burton which is good news for us.

Rhodes with another two before half time tonight.

Need Port Vale and Aldershot to win tomorrow too.

He now has 5.

...and now another 3

Wycombe are fucking awful.

Stanley two up

 :D

Come on THe Stanley - even above Pox now. :)

Just read that two Liverpool supporters were arrested during their game tonight for racism. they were both wearing Louis Suarez tee shirts and shouted racial abuse at Tom Adeyemi who was in tears. Steve Gerrard Comforted the young Oldham player. Perhaps they thought they were supporting Suarez !

Cunts. Makes me feel sick!!

When the young lad got visibly upset the Kop started chanting Louis Suarez even though he wasn't even playing, that's worrying too.

Police have arrested the guy.

I'm sure that it's perfectly acceptable in their culture...

Sounds like mixed reports from the media as the club are obviously trying to play it down and pretend it didn't happen. Wouldn't imagine a player would get really upset during the game for nothing. Be interesting to see how much the club defend their fans.

 :)

Some football fans take the whole tribal thing to another level.

A representative of Liverpool Football Club did a unacceptable thing, deal with it.

It's unlike a Liverpool fan to be an absolute fucking cretin. Oh wait

If the club come out and defend a player who has been found guilty of racial abuse, how hypocritical are they going to look when they punish a fan for the same thing.

In my opinion the club have brought this on themselves, with their reaction to the Suarez incident.
