Grimsby rules

[The Crab]

Wank competition even before they changed it.

It's a shame we can't opt out and just let them have the points, or point, or whatever utterly wank rule they made up for a utterly wank competition devised by wankers.

And to top it all, someone at Checatrade thought that sponsoring this steaming pile of shite would be good for their "Corporate Profile" or whatever they call it.

It has. I'd never heard of them but by combining their sponsorship with an ad campaign on Talk Sport I know who they are. I would have used them last week but I was fortunate enough to find a plumber loitering on the premises who was prepared to do a cash job.

At least with Johnstones as sponsors we may have been on for some free tins of paint.

So it's true, there is no such thing as bad publicity!

The only thing worse than being talked about is not being talked about.

 

[8lade]

Bench? Stuff that, if I don't get in the starting 11 you lot can count me out for a start!

Yeah if I don't start as centre forward it'll be shoes off and 'Wilder Out!'

 

[prince albert]

Hmm, which S2 poster should be on the bench vs. Grimsby?

I smell a poll...

Barney could play but he would probably want to come off after 10 mins

I wouldn't mind being pulled off at half time......

 

[Hodgyman]

So if we were to insist on starting 5 from yesterday's line up to avoid a paltry fine it would probably look something like this...


Ramsdale

Brown O'Connell Semple Hussey

Basham Whiteman

Scougall Duffy Brooks

Lavery


Still too many starting there who shouldn't be. Chapman's absence fucks things up.

I think that Hussey is still injured

 

[GrayBlade]

Didn't Bradford get a fine for subbing their keeper after 30 seconds in the last round of matches?

Yes and I think Megson did the same for the Pigs didn't he in the League Cup and in a televised game?

Same here, although I want to be one of those they take off after five minutes. Not because they'll be saving me for the next league game but due to me blowing out of my fucking shit pipe.

I'll play but I'm not running about. Fuck that. I'll hold centre mid. I'll dominate that circle.

Fuck off, Hammond!

 

[CarlMcBlade]

Grimsby will be less interested than we are. At least we can give a few "benchwarmers" a run out. We'll need em all this season.

 

[1973Blade]

Are Grimsby Rules similar to Queensbury Rules?

 

[moDtheGod]

that counts as one of our five a day.

This tickled me for some reason. Have a like.

 

[Sothall_Blade]

Long
Brown Wilson O Connell Hussey
J.Wallace Whiteman Brooks
Lavary Clarke Hallam

Subs:- Kids
If any of the above are injured, replace with kids.
Make the stupid, pointless competition work for us as a glorified friendly and get fringe players match fit.

 

[larkymasher]

i predict a couple of U18s will probs start plus Brown, Whiteman, Brookes maybe Kelly, he is around the place again.

Then a bench full of other kids. No Semple as he is injured.......

After certain victory, said youngsters will nip into MacDonalds for 9 Happy Meals for the young bucks to nibble on on the coach home...............

 

[carthesis]

How about we just start the minimum amount required to not get a fine?

Then immediately substitute three "normal" 1st-teamers in the first 12 seconds.

Then ensure that 4 of the young lads get sent off for something non-violent (like calling the referee a f**king c**t to his face every time he blows up for anything at all) inside the first 5 minutes.

Game abandoned. We all go home early?

Nice idea but the fines for the red cards and the abandonment would dwarf the maximum £5k for not following the selection rules.

Not even a need to use colourful language.If you really wanted to you can get sent off just by saying “not surprised when one of their lots Dad* is reffing” as a passing comment on the opposition verbally taking the piss after conceding our ninth goal.
*this assuming Grimsby can't get a ref & one of their players Dad is actually in charge of the match.

 

[BanbridgeBlade]

Just seen on twatter that Rochdale are naming a 5 year old fan who is terminally ill on their bench. If this is true I think it's a great gesture & if they even think about fining them everyone should boycott!!

 

[Tynemouth Blade]

Louis Reed and Harry Chapman, who netted a hat-trick in the FA Cup on Sunday are away in South Korea with England's U20s, whilst goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale, who made his first senior appearance against Leyton Orient in the aforementioned cup tie is with England's U19s in Wales.

Simon Moore (injury) and Billy Sharp (illness) both remain doubts, although Caolan Lavery and Reece Brown could be handed starts in a bid to build-up their match fitness.

Meanwhile, for the Mariners, new boss Marcus Bignot has confirmed 40-year-old goalkeeping coach Andy Warrington will start in goal, with on-loan Dean Henderson away on international duty and James McKeown suspended.

Really? How's that going to fit in with his Stand Up work?

Hahaha yes it does sound like a porn star name doesn't it?

 

[Weasel]

a 5 year old fan who is terminally ill...

Those words really shouldnt ever have to be put together in a sentence... there are times when this world can kiss my arse cos im disgusted with it.

 

[carthesis]

Credit to Rochdale for that.

What happens if we sub the three 1st reamers immediately then get 4 "injuries"?

 

[BushBlade]

Didn't know Bignot had got the job. I said on a thread a couple of weeks ago about how well he was doing at Solihull Moors and he's likely to end up in the league. Quicker than I expected though.

 

[ourbob]

Not had butterflies like this for ages.

What time do we kick off?

It's a pity the BBC can't do a build up for the kick off like they used to on Cup Final Day. Show the team bus arriving (and having stones thrown at it by Grimsby fans).
