[Richsteele]

We sure are now 5th!! Amazing achievement really!!

[Dr Wart Hoover]

yeaaahhh!!!!!

[NI-Branch]

All we have gone through and on our budget we are 5th.

Conversely, Corby Town must be ****ting themselves - a large budget and in the relegation places. I think they have enough quality and good enough support that they hopefully will be alright. Cirencester may also stay up, it's quite tight throughout the league.

[linnet1976]

Thank you, thank you thank you!

I've always had a soft spot for Gloucester.

Nice one :biggrin:

Yes...but hopefilly it won't matter as we'll have won it by then and you'll be guaranteed play-off place!!

to be fair it will be such an achievement

[NI-Branch]

YeltzDoc said he would send us £10 for the survival fund, if we beat Team Tax tonight. I have sent a PM to Kingo about this.

Plus 5 or 6 Yeltz fans were travelling down to the match, I hope they enjoyed themselves and got home safely.

[yates jr]

what a game

absolutly brillient
Team Tax look a very very good team and we did very well tonight

Super Sykos Pens are back !

in the playoffs too :biggrin: :biggrin:

[Clifty]

Great result and big up the lads but i have to say, where was everyone tonight? that was a really poor turnout and the players deserve better!!

[NI-Branch]

A Champion's League night may have had someting to do with it.

Arsenal & Manchester United playing tonight

[Pablo]

Great result tonight, bring on Yate!

Is the 'keeper OK, does anyone know?

[Neil]

Absolutely top class result - I keep telling people that we're brilliant but they won't listen!!

I got a photo of Rosey's goal too :cool:

Listen to the post match interview here (http://www.cityladies.co.uk/spf/th200208.wav) :smile:

[Clifty]

don't know don't care!

He'll just end up in a private hospital subsidised by our taxes so **** him! He went down like a pansy!

We got what we deserved tonight for the commitment and battle that our players showed!

Team Tax were a dirty team, and the ref lost control very early on but we stuck in there!

What a result!!

That's a bit harsh, it looked like a bad fall from where I was and he got stretchered off!

[Clifty]

And ladies and gents i have an announcement to make......

The Cleric Swore!!!!!!

[joycie]

what a great result for city. i was delighted to see the goal given right at the end having endured 90 minutes of their 10 supporters moaning, criticising, swearing etc. etc. its a great run and i can't believe where you are considering where you were five or six months ago. and also a return to city's number 1 penalty taker.

[Simon]

Marvellous night.

It was a very poor turnout tonight, but oh well, its their fault for missing one of the performances of the season. The attendance may have been down but the noise was turned up to maximum tonight. Fantastic vocal backing as always, lets keep it up lads, it does spur on the team onto greater things!

Onto the match, we thoroughly deserved the win in my opinion. We gave as much as we received physically and we roughed up the Team Bath players very well. We rode out wave after wave of attack and hit them on the break and looked very threatening. I think I'm not the only one to think that the game was over when the Students took the lead. But the team showed character, and plenty of it, to get us back into the game.

Thank GOD that Sykes was on the pitch when the penalty was given. We've missed his calm and assured approach recently. The 2nd goal was definately in from what I saw on Neil's photo. Great job the Linesman was in that position, I know we gave the Officials alot of stick but I thought they were fairly decent tonight.

Jack Pitcher's performance tonight was his best all season, even better than the 5 Goals at Yate. He was everywhere tonight, the amount of yardage he must have picked up by the end of the game is frightening to think about! Smithy and Webby were very good also. Thomas and Mustoe at the back were solid, we've now become one a select few teams to shut out Sean Canham, thats a very good sign!

Yate is a must on Saturday now. Bring as much tick-a-tape, balloons, toilet paper...whatever! We need to make us much noise as possible. This club is on an up-turn, 5th in the league, playing attractive Football and the possibility of closing down on Chippenham in 4th too. It's looking good!

I think the fantastic thing about tonight is, that wasn't even our strongest side, far from it.

[The Cleric]

A case of mistaken identity methinks:confused:

[tigermatty]

what a great result, we have got nothing to lose now, keep it going lads.

[darrenb]

Superb result tonight - I would have been chuffed with a point but to grind out a win like that was superb :smile:

Thought that Rose and Muzzie had solid games at the back and Reidy kept their number 9 quiet in the 1st half. Both Pitch and Bevan did really well up front and won lots of flick ons and kept battling until the end.

Was a pretty poor attendance tonight but we made a hell of a racket so well done to everyone that was there. You could tell that the players and management appreciated it when they were celebrating with us at the end :biggrin:

[NI-Branch]

the Halesowen lads enjoy the game

[darrenb]

the Halesowen lads enjoy the game

Didn't speak to them but I'm sure they enjoyed the result if nothing else :wink:

[Neil]

Did anyone spot my clever little step over in injury time when the ball went out for a throw? :biggrin:

I got called a c**t for that!

[Pablo]

I got called a c**t for that!

Yeah sorry about that Neil, heat of the moment and all that.... (Wink)

[Trev]

Get in, what a game and what a result :biggrin::biggrin: I thought they were a good side but the were a dirty bunch of students. Got to give kev a big hand for the 3 or 4 top class saves that kept them out.

[Pablo]

Oh, who won the Football Card, I didn't see?

[Simon]

Oh, who won the Football Card, I didn't see?

Come on Chelsea!

*Hopes*

[Pablo]

Come on Chelsea!

*Hopes*

Be the only thing they'll win this season!

(Cue Simon's quotes of the season when they win the Quadruple)

[Noah]

My man of the match was Sawyer, or Ashford, or Reid, or Thomas, or Mustoe, or Sykes, or Webb, or Rose, or Smith, or Pitcher, or Bevan, or Richards, or Taylor.

O.K. if you think I'm sitting on the fence . . . my man of the match was really Phelps, for his clever little step over.

[bobcarolgees]

I would have been there but have literally just got in from work :mad:

Great result though, to be in the play offs is amazing. But again the attendance highlights just how much we need to get back to Gloucester, even with the fact TB bring bugger all and it was a european night you can bet we'd have at least 150 more playing against the top team if it was still at meadow park.

[Joe]

Fantastic result tonight, really really fought for it, and despite being on the ropes for most of the first half, we clawed our way back into it with a lot of spirit, and got a richly deserved win.

After going 1 down, I really thought that was it. But credit to Jack for winning the penalty that changed the match. It changed the fans, our players, and also their players. Brilliant.

Ben Ashford looked top class, and fair play to Ricco for playing two matches in a day. Also Big Kev with a couple of brilliant saves to keep us alive.

And as for the Cleric swearing, I think that's particularly unlikely! He was in the stand all match too, so I don't think we'd hear him from the Rockwool either.

Final plaudits go to Matt Rose for a great header to win us the game. Get in.

[Darran]

Its fair to say I went mental when I saw we had scored a late winner. I really wish I had been there tonight as things really are on the up at the moment and I miss not being able to go. Lets hope we can keep things going and Im sure if we do get in the play-offs the missing fans will return.

[city supporter]

A Champion's League night may have had someting to do with it.

Arsenal & Manchester United playing tonight


TYPICAL......armchair spud brigade.....just when the boy's deserved all the support we can muster:frown:

[DRAKEY]

oh and a massive big up to Super Kev....

Because I know we still had 2 score but he made some fantastic saves...

oh and the goal line clearance from Webby was amazing....

Poor turnout tho...I hope those who were watching Champions league enjoyed themselves as much as we did

Get in :biggrin:

[proper Bath team fan]

that's Bath City of course. A couple of us came up to watch you against Yate a couple of weeks ago (partly to keep tabs on the greased whippet, Craig Davidge) and thought you were great going forward in the first half. And now you have beaten those tossers, fantastic. Is that the start of their slide? They are definitely catchable now, and a lot of us will be at Twerton next week to cheer on Kings Lynn.
and you are now in the play-offs with games in hand. a wonderful night for you. I got ridiculously over-excited watching Neil's updates and couldn't wait for that '2nd half injury time' to turn into 'full-time'. How much injury time did he play?

[Jake]

Great result. Before the game I'd have settled for a point. Roll on Saturday. :wink:

Bob said:- you can bet we'd have at least 150 more playing against the top team if it was still at meadow park.


Yes, I could have either sat behind the glass alongside the Press Box or watched from the bar, but not in that exposed place on top of the hill. As it was I had a job with even wearing a sweater, to keep warm @ home, but no didn't watch any football on TV either.

[Tiger Andy]

Bloody incredible!!! Sods law that city are doing so well and I'm located some 350 miles away in the arse end of Northumbria! Would've settled for avoiding the drop after the flooding, so it's a great testament to the lads and Tim for being where we are and the fans for keeping the club going as always.

My adopted NL team in the North East - Whitley BAy - are also doing rather well. Lets do Y(h)ate over and keep this going. Tremendous :biggrin::biggrin::biggrin:

[yates jr]

Joe you better change your signature to...
Join the Fans Fund and help KEEP City IN the Play-offs!

that was are third lowest crowd of the season !
but sykes 5th penalty of the season

[SHANDY LOVE MACHINE]

I think a big-up also due to Lee Smith last night. Clearly he made an impression against Bedford last week with Team Bath scouting, because they doubled up on him at every opportunity last night. And he still managed to beat both defenders and sometimes three, AND he won a lot in the air last night.

Just need to work on that shooting Lee............

[Selfie]

Great result last night people. Us 4 travelling Halesowen fans enjoyed our trip...and enjoyed the scoreline even more! :biggrin:

Team 'who'? :biggrin:

[Neil]

Don't forget the Grey Legend up front and jamie reid at left back, both had excellent games!

[the_other_two]

Even I made a rare appearance in public and I would definitely recommend it for any of the non-regulars. I thought City played very well, matching everything TB could throw at them and also creating a fair few chances and giving them a lot to do too. Like many I thought that was it when TB went 1-nil up but fair play to City they dug deep and their commitment and hard-work paid off. It was a real all-round good team effort, the kind of thing you'd expect to see from a top-of-the-league type outfit.

Still a long way to go and a play-off place is not in the bag just yet, so no room for complacency. If anything it's only going to get tougher.

As for TB I think someone seriously needs to question their financial arrangements. I don't think that funding a team with full-time players backed by public money is a. in the interests of the general public, and b. in the interests of providing fair competition. If it was private money that is reasonable and for the rest of us we would accept that as someone else's fortune. But this is public money and as a taxpayer I'm not particularly happy about it.

I think you have just covered the situation perfectly, and that's why everyone in this League will be glad to wave goodbye to the lot of them !

[city supporter]

Great result last night people. Us 4 travelling Halesowen fans enjoyed our trip...and enjoyed the scoreline even more! :biggrin:

Team 'who'? :biggrin:

After last nights performance, perhaps we should nickname them 'TEAM TUB':biggrin:

As for MOTM.....everybody took that honour !

[EGG]

Oh, who won the Football Card, I didn't see?

Jim Longford i think it said, thanks for John Reid for selling all the teams on the card last night. Gave me an apportunity to win the darts again :biggrin:

Also thanks to Jim for donating £5 of his winnings to the club aswell :smile:

[Exiled]

.
It was great seeing Jody in the starting line up ,after a long convalescence.
Hope there were no after effects!

Welcome back Jody!

[bobcarolgees]

On the back of poor crowds, it was interesting to see the scum only managed to take 35 supporters to Brighton the other night.

[darrenb]

That is pretty shocking (although not surprising) for a team in their division to take that few away from home.

Looking at our attendance though it was about what I thought it would be to be honest. It was a cold Wednesday night with Champions League on the box and people were never going to drive all the way up to FGR apart from the die hards. We knew there would be no away support so I think we did ok getting over 200!

We all know that we are on a fantastic run but realistically how many people that weren't there on Wednesday know about it!?! I know a few 'casual' supporters and a lot still think we are battling against relegation!

Hope that isn't too depressing but those are the facts. It was a great result and it was a shame there weren't more there but I reckon we made it a pretty decent atmosphere all the same :wink:

Roll on Yate - I can't wait :biggrin:

[NI-Branch]

When if we were doing well we would get a mention on the likes of Severn Sound and probably would have picked up a few supporters.

We get very little PR by the media these days

[bobcarolgees]

True, also although the Citizen put that we were in the playoffs in the report on Thursday the league table wasnt printed.

[Simon]

True, also although the Citizen put that we were in the playoffs in the report on Thursday the league table wasnt printed.

The headline on the back page (well, top left corner) of the Citizen in relation to City was 'Rose scores the Tigers' Winner'. Really enticing headline there, we just beat and dominated the team top of the league and went into a Playoff Position. I know plenty of people who only read the back page because its Gloucester Rugby, maybe if there was a better headline more people would turn the page over.

The position that Tim Harris has got us in is simply an amazing achievement and should merit alot more coverage in the local media. We need the attention more than anyone else and at least some extra coverage would be fantastic.

[Neil]

Ideally I would've liked to have got home and got that picture emailed to the Citizen for inclusion with the report but recently they've had their midweek deadline pushed back to 10pm so they've only got half an hour to get anything done. I know "Citizen" isn't best pleased about it.

...Sounds like Northern Rock :wink::wink::wink:

[Graham]

Sounds like Northern Rock

Dont you mean "Britsh Rock" this sounds like another waste of money!! change all the signs only to sell the business later!
