Donny Match
 

Donny fan at work says away fans are on an open terrace but can pay more to be seated in a "wooden stand". I have to go to this one for the sake of bragging rights (hopefully). Will stay at daughter's house in Sheffied overnight and get up early for work, as I don't fancy a late, bad weather drive over the Snake Pass, especially if we lose.:(
How many will we take??

Re: Donny Match
 

I would guess 100 at most. Given that we are away to grimsby a couple of days before

Re: Donny Match
 

Well Count Me In 1/2 Days Hols From Work And I Be At The Match Might Even Bring My Boots The Way The Team Is Going

Re: Donny Match
 

you're supposed to play six regular first teamers aren't you? thats about all we have. Still positive though Kipax!

Re: Donny Match
 

i was told that we have to pick the 7 of the players who have played the most games for us, what team will that be???

Re: Donny Match
 

Some stupid ****** has arranged a 50th birthday party on the same night for a geordie fan. Very bad timing IMHO and I have been trying like hell to come up with excuses but 'er indoors' says I have to go as I am the Taxi driver. Good luck to the lads and come away with a win please

Re: Donny Match
 

I am gonna change my guess to around 50

maccawozzagod.. have you got a fixation with me or something... get a life mate :)

Re: Donny Match
 

Apparently, due to a low gate expected we will be put under cover on one of the long sides, not exposed to the elements, though it's a good forecast anyway!
Got 10-1 against Burnley and us doing a Wars of the Roses double tonight.

Re: Donny Match
 

good cup run.. get everyones spirits up.. cant wait.. going at 3pm.. find a nice pub for tea and have a look around the place..

Re: Donny Match
 

Really wish I could be there but unfortunately if can't be done - anyone know if there's full commentary on 2BR or Radio Lancs?

Re: Donny Match
 

I think 2br are only doing updates, not sure about Lancs tho.

Really peed off as was in Donny today but not on a night out......typical!!

Re: Donny Match
 

I think I heard that BBC Lancs where going to do full match coverage, not sure though.

Re: Donny Match
 

Cheers Doug, do you know what frequency, Fm or AM?

Re: Donny Match
 

103.9 is what i'm on at the moment.

Re: Donny Match
 

S**t we're on with the dingles on 95.5 & 103.9. No full coverage

Re: Donny Match
 

I hope that 2br arn't doing full match coverage at the same time as BBC?

Re: Donny Match
 

Doncaster up 1 - 0

Re: Donny Match
 

FFS!!!!

Re: Donny Match
 

I don't ****ing believe this....

Re: Donny Match

Re: Donny Match
 

I don't think there's any live coverage tonight. Their all up the as**s of the Championship.

Re: Donny Match
 

thanks anyway, don't think i want to listen now with that score line!

Re: Donny Match
 

That sums it up nicely Spud :rolleyes:. Not surprising with another changed line-up - and who the frig is Smith on our bench? Must be the young lad from the youth team!

Re: Donny Match
 

Down to ten men. Whalley sent off...........

Re: Donny Match

Sean whalley has been sent off :( :(

Re: Donny Match
 

toddy off curtis mcdonald on

Re: Donny Match
 

Wanted to win it, but realized we arnt gonna win so rest him for a very very big game on saturday??

Or mullin injuired :eek:

Re: Donny Match
 

I don't understand why people are surprised by this defeat. We've only won away once all season, so why anyone expected a win tonight is a puzzle, especially considering the run we've been on and the change in personnel.

Re: Donny Match
 

accepted. I like Mullen that's all.....

Re: Donny Match
 

now't wrong with hoping TM.

Re: Donny Match
 

The Radio Sheffield Commentator Andy Giddings just announced the final whistle and said it "was well played between 2 decent sides".

Re: Donny Match
 

That's nice to know, still gutted all the same.

Re: Donny Match
 

can our decent side show up on saturday please!!!

Re: Donny Match
 

Shuuush - don't even think it, that scenario would be just too scary :eek:

Re: Donny Match
 

Or 11 people with football boots will do :D

Re: Donny Match
 

Or can we at least have players in their correct positions - Rocky back where he should be in centre of defence with Welchy, Phil at right back and Leam at left back. Joel Byrom should be given a chance in centre mid alongside Procky, Toddy on the left of course but who on the right wing - with Shaun Whalley banned and Doherty shipped off to Southport - Mangy maybe? Finally Mully & McGivern up front

Re: Donny Match
 

What a horrible 3 hour journey. Left work in Blackburn early at 4.30 and took an age to get onto the M66. Heard on travel radio of delays due to 1 lane only on the M62 so opted for Woodhead Pass route but took 25 minutes to do the mile from M67 to Mottram traffic lights. OK over the Woodhead but interminable, unfamiliar A- roads round Barnsley and over to the A1M. Finally made it onto the M18 at about 7.00 and eventually picked up lovely "Football stadium" signs taking me to (you've guessed it) -the brand new, unlit and deserted showpiece stadium in the middle of nowhere! Two other drivers were also doing 3-point turns and one shouted "Follow me, I've got sat-nav!" My little Fiesta was burning rubber keeping up with his M-type BMW roadster and made it with 15 mins to spare. God bless you sir, whoever you are, as I would certainly have missed the kick off without you. Disoriented by this, after the match I took the wrong road home to my daughter's house in Sheffield and spent a sleepless night after she gave me un-decaffinated coffee, my brain zinging. Up at 6.00 am and another horrid drive back via the M1 and M62 and got into work at 8.44 for an 8.45 start.
Oh, yes...the match! I thought we did OK and played with a lot of spirit and no little skill. We could well have had a couple of goals with our purple 10 minute patch in the second half when the 10 men battered their goal, but but no such luck. The ref annoyed me by manhandling Whalley and making an absolute drama of brandishing and waving the red card for about a full minute - sickening!
Well done the Ultras for non-stop, full repertoir of songs and chants. Overall a memorable football experience with a disapproving wife stuck at home on her own. Was it all worth it? You bet it was.

Re: Donny Match
 

I know its picky... but the ref did seem to make a meal of the red card.... did he think he was on SKY ?

Re: Donny Match
 

What about Shaun's tackle though - was it definately a straight red or was the ref just being - well a ref?

Re: Donny Match
 

I thought red deffo. Jimmy Bell and Coley where feet away and they didn't exactly argue about it..they would if there was any doubt.

Re: Donny Match
 

Yea that's true they would have - silly lad! Just as he was starting to impress as well

Re: Donny Match
 

No, I think he thought he was on stage at a night-club in Manchester's gay village. ( With apologies to the PC brigade).
