Newport 1 City 3

[AFF]

Eh? Confused you certainly are, Rob2. Don't apologise.

 

Looking back at this thread, I wonder what on earth I'm doing here. I put up a quick post on Sunday morning, having made the trip to Newport. Call me over-sensitive if you like, but I have some limited experience of being in a position that, unless every performance of The Mighty Saints is described as a pulsating, champagne-fest of free-flowing Brazilian-esque football; and that everything at Clarence Park should be viewed as forming the blue-print which all Non League football clubs with aspirations to advance and improve should follow; the merest hint of anything other than that is viewed as seditious treachery, designed to rock The Mighty Saints to the very foundations.

 

Sometimes, it seems to me that a suggestion that the performance was less than scintillating, or that some small part of the club off the green bit might be capable of improvement, renders the contributor liable to 40 days of solitary confinement, a sound thrashing with the birch, 2 years National Service, followed by a ceremonial washing of the mouth with soap and water, and a free season-ticket to The Woood.

 

At no point here have I criticised the performance on Saturday of Colin Lippiatt or Nick Roddis.

 

You have to have thick skin to come on here, Rob2. Me? I bruise too easily.
