It's not like they have either any money or a history of playing at that level. Lincoln have never been in the second tier in their history. I have a weird soft spot for Lincoln because they always appeared on Central Sports Special : Goals Extra on a Saturday evening, hardly any time after the 3 o’clocks had finished. So much time spent watching Derby, Lincoln, Swindon etc just to see the goals for a couple of 1st division games from Villa, Forest and Coventry a little earlier than Sundays “The Match.” Ah, memories. “Rod Wallace made it look easy as he raced through the Spurs defenders, reduced to helpless onlookers. Goal Of The Day, contender A.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think so. I don't go to the Lincoln games as I am not a fan, I just live near Lincoln.  The last time I went was when Millwall played there, the last time Lincoln were in this league. As an away fan I can tell you that the air raid siren was fucking annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wasn't that actual siren that got me, but the way it wound "down" after the corner came to nothing like it was disappointed at the anti-climax. It used to really tickle me...

Paid Members Lion_of_the_Midlands Posted May 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2021 At that time Millwall's back 4 had the aerial defence of France in 1939, so it was definitely annoying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird sounding I realise but based off your clues you've given over the years I think I've finally worked out who it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what his contract situation is off the top of my head, and haven't spoken to him much since I split from his sister last year.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it turned into one of those, who has played for a, b, c etc and I finally twigged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like he's a big name or anything, but I always think it's better to err of the side of caution. If someone us able to work it out, then fair enough, I say...` Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Danger Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 What a great end to a proper miserable Premier League season. Liverpool have been neither good nor lucky but somehow managed to tick both of those boxes in the last stretch. At least we can look forward to Jadon and Kylian linking up with the boys now  that Champions League is confirmed. If nothing else this season gave me one of the greatest moments as a Liverpool fan in the 112th minute of time added on at The Hawthorns. Nice to see The Ev somehow go backwards even though they have a very tidy team and a formerly great manager. Once you’ve been touched by Everton etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Scott Malbranque Posted May 23, 2021 Paid Members Share Posted May 23, 2021 (edited) Fucking awful season for my lot. About four players turned up consistently, and the rest couldn't give a clanging bollocks. I've no delusions of grandeur - believe me - but I expected a bit more from that team working under a manager like Ancelotti. But sure, they get tired, the poor wee pets, don't they. I'm sure Billy Sharp was tired, but he still turned up when no-one would have dared expect it of him. Edited May 23, 2021 by Scott Malbranque Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
