Also, I am finding it great to be able to come on to our forum and just discuss things - like it used to be

Unless Dion now takes them all???

Listening to Dion’s interview on the Fishy, it appears he is the designated penalty taker, or was for last night’s game.
I like his approach - hit it so hard it’s past the keeper before he can move. But all penalty takers can and do miss. Equally we’ve seen good players blast the ball over the bar from six yards.
Colby’s all-round performance last night, along with that of all the other players, was what won the game, not just the two penalties.

pity though it was the two penalties that actually won it last night. a 2-1 victory from goals from open play was the least reward for the players last night. it just took a little bit of gloss of the win, and possibly doncaster fans will be moaning that they were robbed of a point.

exactly. one of their fans on the viking web site actually had the cheek to compare stanley to a john beck side from the 90.s.saying he could never watch a team like that every week. so far off the mark its unbelievable. mind you i could not watch a team who looked a soft version of a 90,s doncaster belles.

I can't remember who it was said you don't get marks for artistic merit in football. A goal is a goal however it goes in and as long as it's Stanley scoring I'm happy.
