They ripped us apart through his channel, which may have had something to do with the words which were exchanged.

it was a complete pile of doggy doo, waste of money,ive been on nights, and wish i had stayed in bed, but i bought a mate and his 2 kids, and he said if it wasnt for thurs being free, he poss wouldnt bother... how many other floating fans there today think the same way....

[Bitch]

Hard luck today fellas, i was listening out for you today.

 

Well done to Chatham Gary, i heard a big plug courtesy of you on Radio Kent this morning

[Hempstead Gaz]

Sadly, the good luck request didn't work.

I have always found everyone on RK very supportive and pro Fleet. Give them a feed and you will always get a widely listened to plug.

[Hirsty]

Ha.......tell you what?...let's all not go to a game again...then the club would get no money & fold...to the delight of some who, I am sure, that their weekends are ruined when Fleet win.

 

Yes, it wasn't good today....yes it was disappointing & gutting.......I'll be there Thursday though....you see ? I support my team through thick & thin.....not moan/f*ck off at a bad performance !....glad some of you weren't with me in the trenches....couldn't depend on you could I ?

 

Disclaimer:- this is a personal opinion and not aimed at any one individual. I respect your right to respond but, if you have a go at me, I really couldn't give a sh*t !

 

See you Thurs...or, then again, maybe not !

 

Cheers,

[Hirsty]

PS......predict a top 8 finish at the start of the season ? you would have said we were barking ! ( and we only had 5 players !!)

 

Double Cheers !

Judging by the amount of people left at the end of todays game you may well be on your own.As ive said before a fool and his money are easily parted.

[UP FLEET]

I also will be there on thursday too,as will no doubt the rest of us faithfull, i too am there on most games depending on night shift, point being, a lot of people there today are floating football fans, and have the right to flit in and out of games , and performances like that will not encourage them to return on a regular basis.

What a foolish thing to say when most have a free ticket.

[Slartibartfast]

I'll be there, not a fool just a supporter.

[1 F in Fleet]

I'll be there too , because I support this club ; that includes the management and staff , every player in a Fleet shirt , and everyone who gives their time/money/effort for the Fleet . Supporting any team is your choice - you can't change your allegiance as an adult , like kids do ... it's childish . But empty stands on Thursday won't do much for our young players , will it ? And would certain posters want to see them back next season , or suffer what every true Fleet fan hated at the start of this season , ie a 5-a-side squad retained from last year ? Like every other bl**dy team , we need a few more players . We won't get them if we can't afford them . And we'll lose what we've got if they feel they're not wanted . Don't ever blame a player for having an off day - we've all had one . I got trained to do my job , but with all the training in the world I couldn't do theirs . Let them get on with it , and we'll do our bit - on the terraces , where we belong , this season and the seasons to come . GRAVESEND TILL I DIE

[StuThompson]

I can't wait for Thursday myself we have two reasons to do well. Revenge for the trophy game and to get yesterday out of the players system.

I can see one of those 2 drawing or losing next Saturday so if we can win Thursday and again Saturday then it will be down to results on the final Saturday. Or cant I do sums any more.....

This is encouraging. Unfortunately, it doesn't take Burton, who are now above us, into account. They have Halifax (h), Northwich (a) and Rushden (h), all of which look eminently winnable.

That said, we all thought pursuit of a top five place was over after the defeat at Tamworth, yet a week or so later it was looking much more possible. As difficult as it will be, particularly mentally after yesterday's demoralizing hiding, it's probably best not to rule it out until it's arithmetically impossible.

[Stu M]

I just think that given our maximum points total is now 77, York and Exeter only need a win apiece and we'd have to beat Dagenham (not to mention Northwich and St Albans), and given our problems yesterday, the odds must be 1,000-1!

[BustaGut]

After the first booking of opninel,The Ref was going to send him off no matter what I felt,he was just looking for the first chance and it came very quickly.

He turned down at least 3 penalty claims for the Fleet, of which one I felt was a def penalty,they had one claim and he obliged.What a suprise.

The ref was the biggest heap of pooh I have ever seen,in saying that,We deserved what we got, First goal Lance dived under the ball as it bounced. why the hell he dived I have no idea, In my opnion one or two steps to his left and he could have let it roll to him.We started off 442, let in two goals then changed to 352. Why???? nothing was played through the middle was a big hoof over the top of both defences.why put extra man in the middle?then by pass the mid field ?

Southport fought and battled for every ball, made us look like the team that were fighting for survival and they were playing for the play offs. Had my winge, see you all Thursday

[jc]

On reflection, perhaps my description of Burton's match with Northwich as 'eminently winnable' was a bit misplaced, given Northwich are top of the form table. Doesn't bode well for Thursday either, though.

If I am on my own ( which I won't be !) then at least I will be assured of intellectual conversation !!

Oh dear, my team have lost....lets all f*ck off and watch Dartford/Man U/Tesco's...whatever..........p*ss & wind !!

No offence....

I think that it would have been wise before the kick-off for the team and management to have taken note that Southport were the team with the second best form in the Conference over the previous 5 games.

 

The Club did a really good job in getting the message out about this game and as someone offering the new fanzine for sale inside the main gate I noted a lot of new or occasional visitors arriving. The team as a whole let the Club and supporters down yesterday. There were a few honourable exceptions such as Sodje who ran 'till the end, but as a unit we were at sixes and sevens.

 

Oh, and just to cheer you all up, the team who currently have the best form record over the last 6 games is - Northwich. So Liam and the lads don't expect an easy ride on Thursday either!

[ColtheJock]

Well I returned on Saturday, and I have kept quiet until now. Ok the first goal was a mistake by Cronin, but then for the number of times he has saved us this season, you can't have a go at the guy. The 2nd goal was so blatantly offside it was unbelieveable. If the striker who was onside had gone on and scroed then ok, but the striker who did score was clearly offside initially and it should not have been allowed. The penalty decision was laughable too, and just summed up the officials performance. Maybe our season is nearly over, but the boys need to respond by getting 6 points this week and see where it leaves us heading to the final game. Hopefully Exter and York might slip up and let us back in, back it will be hard. :-)
