I don't really recall us being bad at throw ins pre Malpas.
We got really shit at it about the same time we started doing really poncy coreographed moves at corners - remember the "Let's all stand in a line like we are waiting for assembly st school", or the "Let's all run away from the goal to the 18 yard line and then turn and run back again" Did any of those ever work??
I recall, with a particular shudder away, at Cheltnum when we lost 0-2...they even managed to go down to 10. We had 20 corners....don't think any of them led to us having a shot or header on goal......just aim the thing for Sean Morrison's head. |

Was that when Parkin was sent off for sliding into the keeper? The ref came running over, slid himself, and did a 2 footed challenge on Parkin. Once Parkin had received treatment from the ref's vicious attack, he was sent off. |

Nah, I think that was a night match, the one where Gurney and Heywood had a set to with some of our fans. I think the one Reg is on about was a sunny Saturday. edit: Just looked it up, Reg was talking about Aug 2008. Your game was September 2002. Both 2-0 defeats. |

I was at the 2008 edition, I seem to remember Yinka Casal looking like a passable player that day, so clearly it was an odd one all round.

I have to admit I thought they were only a couple of years apart. That said I remember driving home Basingstoke after the 2002 game and throwing my shirt in the bin. So had I thought about it, it would have to be at least 8 years ago (my eldest is 7 next month and he wasn't around) |

I only saw Casal vs. QPR in the League Cup. I remember squirming at his positional play, this says a lot because I'm not tactically observant in any way  |

Even in the trial games Casal looked dodgy positionally. But he did look quite athletic/quick so I thought once he'd adjusted to the pace of the game he'd be OK. Oh how wrong I was.

Casal was never given a fair chance. I for one thought he was an excellent player.

But you think Fola Onibuje was good. |

Fola Onibuje was a genius for his unpredictability. My mate's a Lincoln fan and said he was our best player when we played them at home! Says a lot about how we played that day.

He was a strange one. Fast as fuck, tall as fuck and completely and utterly useless as a target man. He was some how able to jump, but be lower than when he was standing. It was like he was ducking while airborne.
