If it was a roll of the dice why were we massive favourites with the bookies to win on Saturday?

It is no way a throw of the dice. There are way too many external factors that go into it. Anything with so many outcomes cannot be judged. Anything from the weather down to the referee can be accountable. It is in no way an intrinsic sport where there are no effects into the outcome of the result. Each decision has countless probabilities to it

And yet most of the people posting on here know exactly how to fix the problems at the club.

I don't think that's the case mate. I think everyone's had enough of being in this league and/or administration.

I'm going to repeat something I've said before - do we think we're a bigger club than Oxford?

How long did they take to come back up?

It really does come down to a bit of luck to change our fortunes, and then confidence grows. Of course, the old adage, the more I practise, the luckier I get may apply..

We're not happy with the situation, but we need to be more positive in our methods of trying to help.

Again, my opinion - it disagrees with others but that's part of lifes rich tapestry and all that.

I might be doing you a grave disservice here but isn't that exactly what "a throw of the dice" is? Confused of Scartho....


The aim of argument or discussion should not be victory but progress.

Quoted from The_Laughing_Mariner
A couple of inches would have seen the two shots that hit the woodwork go in, and miss Mildenhalls flailing arm, and we are 3 wins from 3,


A couple of inches are you saying that a former striker whose song said he had the extra inches would have scored  


Supporting the Mighty Mariners for over 30 years, home town club is were the heart and soul is and it's great to be a part of it.

We weren't massive favourites at all. I think we were around 1/2 which means we're only expected to win about two thirds of the time. It's like rolling a dice and needing to get 3,4,5 or 6. You're more likely to than not but it's worse odds than Russian Roulette!

Yes, and it took Luton quite a while to escape too. Even then it was only due to a very lucrative cup run the previous season which enabled them to buy their way out. Credit to their manager for spending wisely though.

I don't give a sh1t about Oxford, Cambridge, Luton, Newport or any other team that's either in or been in the Bananarama Conference (it's even got a sh1t name). I care about Grimsby Town and its' future, that's why I'm fed up of the negativity of our current manager, his negative football, his one dimensional tactics and his ability to put square pegs in round holes.

I'm neither pro or anti Alan Buckley, but would he have bigged up Caine Winfarrah after Tuesday and then played a central midfielder in his place on Saturday? And then go one further and say in Monday's paper, 'I want another player to replace Aswad' undermining the lad's position further??
