Ford's Focus: A missed opportunity for Grimsby Town

“Lets go back to Gateshead & leave their fans knowing the mighty mariners will be the best football team they will ever grace eh.

Stop moaning about the previous games...we are top of the league!..its about the next fixure not the last..composer & positivity going forward is as vital as every point we've picked up along the way so far.I think that this squad is capable of building a gap between us and the rest BSP,but we'll see what unfolds eh....i want it as bad as the next mariner,i think we're primed.Champions elect :-)”

“Glebe, one poor performance is an off day, however after another below par display against Hereford it's becoming a trend...... A promising season can soon turn sour, Hannah is desparately needed back and I fear the worst now Pond has gone....been our player of the season and that's one gap that needs filling quickly...”

“When we were a good team in a respectable league if you only drew you dropped a point its a figure of.speech Unlike Glebe I have never been an authority on poor levels of football where the undescerning opinions go into the mix with everything else. It is noticeable that most posts on here ,unlike the Ford article .are are intent on ****ging off the non subserviants who don't.toe the utm line and have nothing constructive to offer.”

“A win and a draw against our bitter rivals was a positive outcome...rather then having a pop at the team for not winning the home leg..don't you think that congratulations are in order for turning them over on their own turf & also for chalking up another 4 points in the process.If we had picked up a point at their ground and then won at home most fans would have been more than happy eh.

I don't see what the problem is.

“Perhaps he is alluding to those heady days when the Conference or Alliance Premier as it was in the early 80's shunned the standard 3 pts for a win adopted by the football league and went with 3 pts for an away win and 2 points for a home win.”

“"we dropped another home point" - Dexx showing his indepth knowledge again. Have you not been to a game since 3pts for a win was introduced in 1981?”

“"Grimsby Town go on a good run, attract a bumper crowd and then fail to deliver."

With friends like you Geoff who needs enemies. Town are doing better than you with your reporting.”

“Good to see Geof Ford contributing again with his objective views demonstrating his knowledge of football far outweighs that of the clowns who criticise him One can say we are an inconsistant side which in effect means we are nothing special or argue we had a bad day ,on either count we dropped another home point to what many see as an inferior team .Time to get some more loanees methinks as we have produced nothing of note ourslves”

“Very good article Geoff, you see the game as a knowledgeable football fan not through black and white striped eyes. Anyone who saw the Lincoln away game would know the score was flattering, their goalkeeper and defence were awful that day.
A proven goalscorer, a strong midfielder, and a central defender who can put his foot on the ball might just get us out of this pub league. Keep believing (Wag in the stand !)”

“What a poor article.

How do you explain the boxing day result without the two loan signings? Town had an off day against a side that had a point to prove having been humiliated a few days earlier. Nothing more suspicious then that and certainly doesn't warrant this drivel. Perhaps you could have spent the 30secs you wasted on this rubbish, discussing the positives such as the fact that despite a below par performance the team maintained their unbeaten record, or the remarkable performance of our keeper.”
