I've not got to the GTFC bit yet, but I got my first shock after 3 seconds when I realised he wasn't Scottish!

Linwood was a clogger who still found it funny a decade later. Sweeney was a quality player who's clearly not proud of how he behaved at the time. Good listen (although the 10 minutes of guffawing at the fish story dragged on a bit).

You can hear the regret in his voice. I don't know how much Peter Sweeney is worth today, but I bet it's missing at least one '0' off the end of what could have been.

That first half at Cheltenham away!!! Played like world beaters

Second half, and quite possible, played liked they’d all been on special brew at half time


We were torn apart by Barry Hayles who was nearing the end of his career.


Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day,teach a man to fish and you give him an excuse for him to escape from the wife and kids for the weekend and drink lots of beer.

You can, but I’d say it’s only regret of the way his career declined to the point that he had to play for us. I certainly don’t think he gave 2 shites about us being relegated or the state that collective group of ‘professionals’ left the club in. Comes across as a complete bell to me.


"Falls to Arnold... Arnold! That's it! Thats it! He's sealed it! Grimsby Town are back in the football league!!! Just a minute to go and Nathan Arnold makes it 3-1! Look at the scenes behind the goal! Look at the relief! The agony is finally over!!!"

Most people on here creamed themselves when Newell was appointed.You only had to speak to any Luton fans to learn about his antics,shows a shocking lack of due diligence when appointing him.


Most on here creamed themselves at just about every manager we employ, Jolley, Holloway, Hurst.

I didn’t mean regret for us; more remorse for his undoubted wasted talent and the millions of pounds he never earned.

I remember after the game hearing the League One match score Norwich 1 Colchester 7 and saying to my mates, could be worse, at least we're not Norwich fans.

Not long after that game Norwich poached the Colchester manager and ended up getting promoted to The Championship, whilst we ended up being relegated from the league.
