Lanterne Rouge Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 It`s looking inevitable now, County need to score two at Swindon and hope the Macc Lads let one in all in about 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Exeter doing their usual blowing the playoffs on the final day too. They need to score at FGR in the last 10 to get there. Newport have just equalized at Morecambe and will be in the playoffs if they hold on unless Exeter do win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 And that`s it. County relegated and Newport make the playoffs along with FGR, Mansfield and Tranmere A litle bit of interest for us there - Jonny Smith for Tranmere and Shawn McCoulsky played for FGR today so hopefully might feature in their games.

Northern Red Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 All kicking off at MK by the sounds of it, both sets of fans on the pitch. When the MK fans came on to celebrate you could see a load headed straight for the away end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderingred Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Gutted for Notts County. A real traditional club lost there.. to be replaced by some bankrolled hobby crap like Salford or Fylde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bristolmoose Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 The BBC clearly have short memories... Notts County have dropped out of the English Football League for the first time in their history after their final-day loss at Swindon Town. The world's oldest professional league team and one of the Football League's founder members, Notts are arguably the biggest club to have ever suffered relegation to non-league.

BanburyRed Posted May 4, 2019 Report Share Posted May 4, 2019 Credit to Sol Campbell at Macclesfield too. Seemed like an odd appointment at the time but fair play to him, he hasn't moaned, just got on in v difficult circumstances and saved his team. Something to add to his cv.

He's talked often enough about how he'd do a good job if he was given a chance, so he deserves credit for being able to back it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remarkable that Notts have gone down with their squad, something gone badly wrong there. It's a different sort of managerial pressure in league 1/2 compared to the championship or SPL anyway. Rangers or Derby have the luxury of being able to go for a big name, if it doesn't work out they can sack them and start again. Someone like Oxford or grimsby can't do that. So he could have easily gone to a championship side but decided to start his trade somwhere lower down in the pecking order Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted May 5, 2019 Report Share Posted May 5, 2019 TBF to Campbell after those rejections he could have gone down the Paul Ince route of trying to insist his not getting a manager`s job was some sort of conspiracy theory but didn`t and just kept applying until he got a job. Fair play to him, he`s done the job he was hired to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, whilst we may seem to be delighting in your misery, you reap what you sow. I love it when fans attempt to turn failure to ideology. The same fans who boast about tradition, steadfast support of dad's team, 'real' football experience, superior morality and intellect and all that crap are precisely the ones who will brag over success, when, if, and in whichever way it comes. All ideological constructs go out the window then, and it's win, win, win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
