    As always a good podcast. Echoing much of what fans have been saying on here, but what amazes me is how Ian is now able to be so reasonable about LM failings, having never been so with NP. It smacks of being so hypocritical having a go at fans who are moaning about yesterday. 
     He cuts LM so much slack. He mentions allowing him preparation time, the calibre of the players he’s got and “looking in his rear view mirror” about yesterdays game, in other words putting it behind us (which is fair enough but let’s have that across the board).
      He actually said that he was fed up with fans, who were exalting LM after the wins against Boro’ and S’Hampton and are now saying after yesterday’s game makes him the worst manager.  Said he can’t do tricks etc. Never heard him being so supportive of NP or allowing any of the very real challenges that NP faced as an excuse for not doing better.
     

     This change of face seems to have come about since his ITK status, maybe coincidence?
     

    Makes me laugh 😂

    Why don't you set up a podcast which is more balanced?

    On Monday 22nd January, the day before our away fixture at Bristol Rovers, we received a request from BRFC to sell South Stand tickets to home supporters at a discounted price of £10 up until kick off.

    This was in an effort to hit the 75% capacity requirement for the match to be classified as a ‘test event’ as part of the opening procedures for the new South Stand at The Memorial Stadium. Despite the short notice, we decided it was right thing to do to support Bristol Rovers with the ‘test event’, and given the circumstances, that our supporters would understand the resulting price disparity.

    However, in the days after the game and without consultation, Bristol Rovers have offered a refund to home fans who had purchased tickets at full price in the South Stand. We have made representations to both the EFL and Bristol Rovers proposing the that the same refund should apply to Exeter City supporters who were seated in the South Stand that night.

     

    We are yet to reach a satisfactory outcome with Bristol Rovers but we want to resolve this inequality for our supporters as quickly as possible. As a result, Exeter City Football Club, with the unequivocal backing of the Supporters Trust, will be issuing refunds to all those affected. An automatic account credit for any supporter seated in the South Stand who purchased a ticket at a cost higher than £10 (all age categories apart from under 14) will be processed in the coming days. 

    For example, a full paying adult who purchased a ticket for £26, will have £16 credited to their ticketing account for future purchases. 

    We thank supporters for their patience as we have tried to rectify the issue as fairly and quickly as possible.

    Sorry didn't realise it had already been posted, but nice to see again 😂

    It's one of those situations though where because there's so many teams fighting for the spot, there's rarely going to be a weekend where none play another one.

    It has split a bit now because it was even more open a few weeks ago.

    But because of that, going on a good run like that will more often than not catch up on 2-3 of those sides and pass 1-2 more

    So are you saying it could happen? 😂

    I would say that Nigel and Liam were both responsible for this excellent performance.


    "We're both good in our own fields. I'm sure Nige couldn't run and manage a successful counter attacking team, and I couldn't do what he..., well, I could do what he did and I think he knew that, even back then. Probably what spurred him on'

    I think he is the next Diedhiou.

    Not necessarily as a player, but more because none of our fanbase will be able to spell or pronounce his name.

    On that penalty save didn't Basso say after the game something like 'I asked God which way, he said right, I said thank you' or something like that or have I made it up?  I used to love the crowd copying the point to the skies behind him, great relationship between player and fans

    I knew it apart from it was left not right!

    "To be honest many people don't understand or don't believe," the Brazilian, who is a devout Christian, explained to BBC Radio Bristol.

    "But I ask the Holy Spirit where they're going to kick.

    "He said 'left' and I said 'thank you'. I went to the left side and I saved the ball, so today I was very blessed."

    I loved his philosophy on luck. If a journo suggested we were unlucky, Basso would always strongly refute it & say you can't blame things on luck as it suggests your actions don't determine the outcome.

    I've no time for organised religion but Basso had a fantastic attitude which was clearly steeped in his faith.  When he saved the penalty from Darius Henderson, heck, even i almost believed in a higher power!

    Hi all, 

    A Forest fan in peace. I’m looking forward to the game tonight, it should be a good old fashioned cup tie with no VAR to ruin the match. I see some are speculating on injuries - we’ve got a few. We are down to one striker, Wood with Callum Hudson Odoi on the wing. MGW I believe is still injured, Elanga is out and of course Awoniyi. We’ve also lost 6 players to AFCON. Other than that, we can’t defend and all our goalkeepers are crap. Nuno will play a strong team, mainly cos we don’t have much option. Probably 4231:

    Turner

    Montiel - Omabamidele - Murillo - Tavares 

    Yates - Mangala

    CHO - Danilo - Dominguez

    Wood

    I have fond memories of BC matches - the 2 v 1 win in our promotion season is the moment we started to believe something special was happening. Lyle Taylor had his only good match for us and his penalty gave every Forest fan a heart attack. Good luck and let’s hope for a rip roaring entertaining FA Cup tie.

    I don't have fond memories of that 2-1 win, I literally couldn't believe what I was watching! 😂
