Gillingham Lincoln

[mattco]

Boring long ball from Gillingham. Hardly a single pass along the ground. More Fatty Evans boring stuff

[Wiltshire Exile]

Lincoln 1 up

[dknward2]

Come on Gillingham need to get a draw at least and 3 Lincoln players sent off

[jmt23]

I hate the Lincoln attitude - they are constantly fouling, screaming at the ref, crying like little boys if it goes against them. They are very good at taking the off the ball runners out too, without any notice from officials.
They really do not need to do that, they are a very good footballing team. Appleton has clearly marshalled them in the dark arts.

How this referee has allowed some of that to go off ill never know, there centre half could have had four yellows with the amount of holding cuddling the Gils forward he does at every challenge.

FAO Steve Evans - what goes around comes around.

[rover-n-out]

Lincoln look a different team to the one that played us. The free flowing intense attacking football is just not there tonight, and if the Gill's finishing was better, could at least be level with them.

Not often I want Gillingham to win!

I can remember  two occasions against us when Lincoln players “accidentally” brought down  James and Simoes as they were making good off the ball r7ns.

[RobTheRover]

Wow. What a dive for that penalty. Incredible. The ref had a great view too

[ss1953]

Lincoln penalty

Surprised he only did a pike without a somersault

[DonnyBazR0ver]

They are top of the penalty charts for a reason!

[dknward2]

Wow. What a dive for that penalty. Incredible. The ref had a great view too

Felt a hand on him so throws himself to the floor

[dknward2]

Game over

[rover-n-out]

0-3 up now!

[RobTheRover]

Yep. Cheating shithousery of the highest order.

Anyway, that's numberwang now.   Gillingham's defence truly is awful. Can't play simple passes under no pressure into another blue shirt. You just can't do that against sides like Lincoln.

Fattys blood pressure will be up now.
I think Lincoln have had about eleven pens so far this season.

[dknward2]

Damm it Gillingham so close just need to convert

[Draytonian III]

Steve Evans has just had his 5 yellow card of the season

[RobTheRover]

Steve Evans has just had his 5 yellow card of the season

5 yellow cards and 3 guyliners

[dknward2]

Steve Evans has just had his 5 yellow card of the season

Surprisingly more than his outfield players

[roversdude]

Softest pen ever but they deserved the win

[BobG]

I seem to remember the Lincoln lads getting quite upset with me 10 days or so ago after I lablelled their team as cheats. Long term, prsistent and serial cheats. They are.

[South East Rover]

Am I the only one to be happy with Lincoln winning, rather Lincoln finish runers up to us than
Hull, Peterborough, Portsmouth, Sunderland, Charlton, Ipswich 

[BillyStubbsTears]

Would be quite something next season if us, Hull and Lincoln went up, Sheff Utd went down and Rotherham and Sheff Weds stayed up and Barnsley of course. That'd mean a local derby every third match.

Edit. And Huddersfield.

Add Forest, Derby, Middlesborough and even Preston, Blackburn, Stoke, Birmingham and Coventry plus the eagerness of home fans to get back to matches and you'd be looking at 15 pretty well guaranteed 10-14k home attendances. That would be a real shot in the arm for our finances.

[turnbull for england]

Probably still get Bournemouth away Boxing Day

What a season of away days that would be, everything crossed.

I can’t envisage Rotherham,Wednesday,Derby and Forest all staying up though and I think realistically we will probably lose one or two of them, hopefully Derby or Forest if we have to.

Can easily see a scenario of Us and Lincoln being the top two though and the Blades going down.

[Campsall rover]

How can the ref not see that was a deliberate attempt to get the penalty by cheating.

He leg his leg behind the defenders leg deliberately.
It is not surprising they have had so many penalties. It’s about time the refs got wise to their antics.

[donnievic]

Think it was a pen but he went down far to easy,was given I thought for the pull on his arm not a trip

Ironic Steve Evens complaining about another side's gamesmanship.
