Lincoln away match thread
 

Games being called off already all over any news on state of Lincoln,s pitch as temperature forecast for -5° real feel -11° will it go ahead long journey for Stanley.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

I share your concerns, but the club are being assured pitch on Friday PM is fit to play.

With Lincoln still in the PJT (EFL Trophy) both teams can't really afford another blank weekend

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Hope it's on the weather unfortunately doesn't care about teams fixture pile ups and with the postponement,s beginning to rack up it really is down to the weather.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Sunshine currently out near the Wham but it's like standing in a fridge.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Grimsby is off just down the road. All South Yorkshire games off.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

It makes you wonder, but it is the old conundrum, they will need decent covers on the pitch for it to be playable after going -4 c for several hours, but how do you inspect a pitch with covers on today?

If you inspect a section there is always scope for part of it to be frozen. I reckon it is 50/50 at best, and that is being optimistic.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Currently -3° not rising above-1° all day in Lincoln real feel between -7° and -9° in the hands of Jack Frost again 50/50 chance I,d say hopefully they have a bit of sun forecast maybe we,ll be lucky.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Match off until Sunday evening

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

I wonder if they took the covers off and it was frozen as was entirely predictable.

I'm not sure Doncaster Rovers "had to be rearranged" or they will be willing to do so unless the EFL forces them to.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

if i was rovers i,d be trying anything to keep the tuesday date. common sense is a 24 hour put back of the game.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Sunday 6.00pm kick off, according to fishy

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

And Donnie game now 7.00pm on Wednesday 17th

Gives me an extra day to write the epic saga

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Heavy rain forecast in Lincoln at game time tomorrow..........may even things up?

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Doncaster is now 7pm Wednesday according to skysports app

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

How tinpot :rolleyes:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

better than being postponed in my view.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

No guarantees it will be on tomorrow Lincoln forecast for tomorrow carries a yellow warning for ice including freezing rain and 40 mph winds good luck.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Back to Tuesday if tomorrow,s game is off again which looking at weather forecast is a distinct possibility.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Lord’s Day Observance Society have a word for it, but it isn’t tinpot

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Only 5 games left on in league 1 and just 2 in league 2.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

lots depend on how thick the frost was on the pitch yesterday. i hope they took everything into consideration including the weather and the temperatures up to 8 tonight. they must be confident or stupid, time will tell.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Well as I think Stanley are traveling on the day kick off 6 arrive at 4 travel time on coach say 4 hours will be setting off about 11-30/12 so imagine we might have an inkling about it being on after that.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

According to Lincolnshire Live regular pitch inspection,s will take place today after 12 o, clock.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

According to Kipax, a local referee has inspected the pitch & said it's fit to play - team coach due to set off at 1.30, fingers crossed game will go ahead

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

lets hope its on.

Re: Lincoln away match thread

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Is Charles injured? Or suspended? Or don’t you fancy him for the squad for this one?

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Sorry should read Charles Cassidy still injured.

Re: Lincoln away match thread

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

No Prichard even on the bench ?

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Pritchard and McConville suspended, is Pritchard 1 game??

:) :) :)

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Yes Joe - two yellows if I recall

Mind you, I had it in my head that he served the ban yesterday ...

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Not sure about Pritchard......two yellows is one game but not sure how the cumulative number of cards works........some one on here will know?.....I hope?

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

you are normally so good with spelling the players names.....:D

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Back to underdogs.....so just the way we like it.....I was hoping for 2 points from the next 2 games...Lincoln and Donny away......finders crossed.....

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

...that's fingers!!!!!

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

So keep it narrow and solid at the back.......sounds like a plan...but I wonder how Coley will line up?

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Lincoln make 4 changes at the back. Now that's either strength in depth, or they don't think we are up to much?

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Beeb seem to have decided the game's not worth "live text" coverage ......

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Any one else having problems with ifollow. I can not get on it , Im going in circles with email address etc. Had to put radio on.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Working OK for me..........

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

1-0 stanley charles

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Yesssssss !!!

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Got to laugh at the commentary........ now partly gone to music ......HA HA Ha

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

my i follow is frozen for last 2 mins rubbish.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

That'll be your weather.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Now its annoying ......keep getting music and adverts...pathetic...

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

29 mins in: Stanley 59% possession, 6 shots, 2 on target, one corner, one goal ... Lincoln 41%, no shots (all on target) no corners, no goals

Have they dissed us, to their peril?

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

On my mobile with sausage fingers.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Smith and Connelly playing well

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

music been on again lol

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

This poor commentator haha !!!

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Dominant half.
Smyth great.
Pritchard might struggle to get back in !

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Halfway there.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Good first half, Lincoln looked like they ran out of ideas trying to pass out of their own half. Expect a slight adjustment from them to get round our press in the second half. Nottingham impressed for me

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Twenty Eight.......Do you mean Smiff and Connolly?:s_whistl:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Poor reception on i follow. Picture is blurred and very annoying Radio Lincolnshire interjections!
COME ON STANLEY! :theband:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

possibly if their commentators are owt to go off.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Thats what they call competition...........think Lincoln will have a response second half....just hope we score the second goal..

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Lincoln fans message board has 33 pages of comments on the game so far... now that's what I call a crowd!!

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

*&%&^#^$%#^^^*%##@!!!!! :(

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

oh hell.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

*^&$&$&$^%^$*%*^&^(*&!!!! Hate this game. :(

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

who gave the frigging ball away?

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Im struggling to keep my temper.
Hughes what are you thinking ??
Massive height advantage 6 minutes to go.
Fuming.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

2 goals conceded direct from corners!
Definitely our Achilles heel

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

YESSSSSSSSS...Im loving this game again

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Hughesy get your cheque book out you owe Dion.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Well, in the wash up, its a pretty dam good result for us. good onya STANLEY.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Great Point......don't Lincoln look good.....

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Well done Stanley.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Fantastic advertisement for League 1 football. It was always
going to be tough against the league leaders so it's a good steady result.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

From euphoria....to depression.... to relief.... all in 95 minutes!
A truly great performance against the runaway leaders.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Anyone listening to Radio Lincoln's commentary would think that Stanley's MotM was 'an Accrington player'! Come back, Dan!

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Another great performance, but this time a better result. Very unfortunate and rare c**k up from Yosser, but what a battling effort to get that equaliser; fantastic left foot volley from Dion.
Well done to the entire squad and coaches.
Awful commentary from BBC Lincs, guy was both clueless and biased.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

2-2 charles great result for me.even though we gave it away.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

half of the time the commentator did NOT know who the stanley player was, they kept saying the accrington player cleared the ball, they had no idea even with a team sheet in front of em, also the radio kept spoiling the commentry twas utter rubbish in my view,

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

That's exactly what I thought. He hardly ever mentioned any of the Stanley side by name. A really poor,unprofessional commentary.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Good game 2 goals the result of mistakes and 2 excellent goals Smyth is a talented player frightening their defenders Charles great to be scoring bit concerned about how wide open we were in the left back position not sure if Burgess is an out and out full back new lad Morgan excellent pass for Charles equaliser, onto Wednesday no let up but playing like that and we'll be okay.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

‘twas certainly a ‘Game of two Halves’, With Stanley dominating the first half. Lincoln then dictated play in the second half :theband:
As others have already said it was a good advert for League One standards. The pitch was very good too.
The I follow coverage was disappointing...constantly blurred screen and first half problems with local radio intrusions.:enough:
A good point away at the League leaders though.:theband:
ON STANLEY ON:theband::mosher:

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Andyd....what does we'll be OK mean exactly?

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Whatever you want it to mean

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

I've just sent an email to Radio Lincolnshie expressing my thoughts on the quality of that commentary.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

would certainly have accepted a point at the kick off on top of watching a top game even though the stream and commentators tried to spoil it.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

I did get I Follow eventually, I had to change my password in the process, just hope I dont have the same probs on Wed night.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

BBC Radio Lincoln apart, most match reports that I've read have been very fair and complementary (see NewsNow), such as this one: https://staceywest.net/2021/02/15/st...ton-stanley/2/

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

the useless sods who commentated on the game did say a few times stanley had played very well.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

I think that was the summariser, presumably an ex-player, who sat with the commentator.
He was OK, but the commentator was like an over-excited fan, claiming “oh, brilliant cross field pass” seconds before the ball went five yards over the head of the Lincoln wing back and directly into touch. It became quite a laugh he was so biased.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

probably that was the case a player not the clown.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Exactly first half Lincoln were that poor( outplayed ) he even said Accy played well and deserved to be in front, second half once they got a toe hold Accy were somehow just forgotten.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

that has happened to me more than once for away games. seems its more by luck than anything else for me. mind you its worse for the hartlepool games i watch when stanley are not playing. the only way i can watch is via the away clubs website.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

I recall Dan saying that because of covid restrictions, he can't travel to matches to provide live commentary so we are stuck with away commentary only for the time being.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

quite a few away teams have had a large media presence at the Wham this season.
Ironically, the chap doing the Plymouth iFollow was plagued with technical issues last Tuesday. Most Plymouth fans on social media were more than complimentary of Dan Jewell’s outlook. Long way on a Tuesday night for a commentator to travel and his equipment to fail!

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

he failed far more than his equipment he didnt know which stanley player had the ball or tackled for most times, he was useless

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

thought because of his job he is able to travel even with the restrictions around.

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

That is what I thought. It was about a month ago on ifollow and he was saying that he wasn't allowed to travel and we would have away commentary at the next away match. IIRC The last three matches have all been with away commentary only :mad:

Let's hope that is not the case tonight ;)

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

On the link on Facebook for Ifollow it says that due to Covid restrictions we can only have the commentary provided by Doncaster

Re: Lincoln away match thread
 

Strange that other local BBC commentators can travel to the Wham but Dan isn't travelling to away games, unless it's a personal choice for him which would be completely understandable.
