Bob's Board - Chesterfield FC: Play Offs - Bob's Board - Chesterfield FC

I'm watching Sunderland v Charlton from the Black
Cat Bar at the Stadium of Light and pretending to be a Mackems fan.

A story from a couple of weeks ago.

Walked into Town after a terrific afternoon of Northern Soul at the St Helens and bumped into a mate who'd been to the Liverpool game. We discussed what'd happened then, remembering our little neighbours had played that afternoon, I asked what'd happened.

'Lost on penalties...' came a voice from over our shoulder, quickly followed by the single word '..gutted'.

Looking 'round there was a lad at the bus stop, so thinking he was being sarcastic we laughed and said 'Honestly? At home to chuffin' Newport?'...

..only for him to not only confirm the result, but he was some sort of Staglet.

Who, bizarrely, had decided to come into Town when his supposed team were playing. Worse still he'd stood in a Chesterfield pub publicly supporting that same side.

Which I guess was why he was subsequently sat there with a bruised face and probably broken arm.

For what it's worth we did the decent thing and advised him to get checked out at the Royal. But in keeping with his daft decisions of the earlier afternoon he was more intent on just getting back to North Notts.

So pretending to be a Mackem at theirs' seems the height of intelligence by comparison...

Fake tears now then ?

And Bauer scores the winner. Can't beat that family their Jack as saved the world many times.

Going to be fun in our house tomorrow as my other half is their watching Sunderland with her dad and brother and they’re all at our house tomorrow for a bbq! Wasn’t a great game but ref should have sent pratley off and missed a foul for the winner.

No but I didn't celebrate. Bent down to tie up my red Hummel trainers just after the match and straightened up to see a 3-year-old in full kit waving his fist right in my face. Poor lad must have been gutted, and associated my (poor choice of) footwear with the Charlton kit.

Odd to celebrate an opening goal which the cameras pretty much missed, but enough Charlton defenders scored at the right end to make it a fair result.

Derby being well beaten at the moment, they need a Leeds style come back

Didn’t realise Bennet was on the pitch until he walked off at half time, surely they should be fielding better than him?

Great looking header until the replay showed it came off his back

Bennet looked as good for Derby as he did for us awful

Reminds me of Shaw, runs about a lot and never looks like scoring. Amazed he is still getting contracts there.

Very similar but Shaw’s general play looks slightly more effective than Bennet for the respective clubs

2-1, Derby look better since Marriott and Waghorn came on

And Villa sat back...

Hahaha

One of Cook's worst decisions playing him in the 2014 JPT final with no room for Armand in the squad

moondog, on 27 May 2019 - 04:45 PM, said:

Wonder when he’ll finally get found out - what is his starting position - baffling from Lampard - the comparison with Shaw is uncanny

Cannot understand why Marriott didn't start after the impact he made after coming on against Leeds

He scored an incredible goal earlier this season and does offer a nuisance value but he's not good enough for that level.

Not going up is no bad thing for Derby really. It's not all it's cracked up to be.

I thought he played very well against Leeds

I reckon Derby would have been just as successful as the last time they went up even with ‘silver spoon in his mouth’ Lampard at the helm.

Totally agree.
