22 February 2010

Idle Diary writes: "I don't know what has gone on at Grimsby at the start of this season but they are far better than their position. They will cause a lot of teams problems in the rest of this season I'm sure." So reckons Lincoln manager Chris Sutton in the wake of Saturday's breathless 2-2 draw, declining to comment on referee Mark Haywood's performance. The match official will cause a lot more teams problems if his display at Blundell Park is anything to go by. Anyone think that wasn't a penno decision at the end? Thought not. Register your disapproval at Haywood's incompetence with this handy online petition. If we get enough signatures, maybe we can march to number 10 and DEMAND JUSTICE. It might also help with the suffering. Might, mind.

The biggest shame the ref took centre stage is the detraction the idiot provided from an excellent Lee 'Predator' Peacock performance. And if the two goals in "the Lincolnshire battle for pride" weren't enough alone to endear the strutting 'cock to the Town faithful, the spiky-haired one's straight talking manner about the Club's Precarious League Situation certainly hits the mark: "We can't say to the fans 'be patient, we'll get out of it'. It's beyond that now and it's so long ago since we had a win. We've got to pull our fingers out and start righting our wrongs, and once we get that first win we can start really putting points on the board." Well said, that man! With the gap between Torquay (22nd) and Town (23rd) currently five points, there's an immediate opportunity to grab three points off Macclesfield tomorrow night. And while we'll be tuned into the action from Blundell Park, it's another of the evening's fixtures, Cheltenham (21st) against Torquay, that catches the eye. Not sure I know what would be a good result there... What do you prefer?
