Marcus Clayson 5️⃣5️⃣0️⃣

@PompeyPedro @andybowler89 Agree…… would also agree if someone cut him in half…….modern day comms just lie to be politically correct and the majority buy into it like sheep. Nothing like a dust up on the pitch to get the natives bouncing because just for a moment the narrative is forgotten.

I see constant complaints about how there are no characters or mavericks in the game anymore. Within 10 seconds of this little bit of showmanship, Cherki was being lambasted by comms for being disrespectful. Need more of it. Cherki top boy.

@Staceywestblog @JackMulhall92 Yep I’d agree and was never in the Skubala out camp……. I will admit I wasn’t happy with his appointment as wanted DC back…… it’s football isn’t it….. we’re all experts in our own mind 😁

@MarcusClayson @JackMulhall92 Or proven wrong, as we were in a path to better things. It's all about perception I guess. We can both agree Skubala out was a honking shout though - whether he changed or whether he was always on the right path.

This isn't smug or anything, but I really hope that our current success demonstrates something to fans. March 1st 2025, we lost 4-3 at Barnsley. We were poor, but the flood of 'Skubala Out' messages around then was unbelievable. I even turned commenting off because I defended the team, Skubala and got all sorts of abuse. One year on, and we're on the brink of arguably the most impressive automatic League One promotion in modern times. Everyone is happy and Michael Skubala is close to adding his name to that of Taylor, Alexander, Cowley, Murphy and Anderson. No journey is linear, but sometimes, supporting your club is about seeing the small wins, and accepting the minor setbacks without a full-blown implosion. Remember that next time we lose a couple of games. #SkubalaIN

@Staceywestblog @JackMulhall92 The irony I see here is the doubters thought we could do better as a football club….. yet mid table throwing leads away and going on losing runs was acceptable to some. Seems the doubters have this season been proved right….. there was room for improvement 🤔

Honestly, if I'd known club mood was shifting on Kennedy, I might have gone in harder. I didn't, until the day he was sacked. Maybe that proves your point, but I genuinely didn't see how toxic it had become, because Kennedy to all intents and purposes cut me off for having an opinion on matches. I'm sure you'll appreciate the irony in that being fact 😅

@Staceywestblog @JackMulhall92 You know exactly what the game is mate…….and I totally get it……. the denial is the only confusion.

Hahaha come on.... one minute I'm always too positive, then when I produce a time when I wasn't, I'm criticised because that was what you're guessing the club wanted? As Roy Walker would say, it's good, but it's not right. Two intelligent men are surely looking for a reaction here. Just need Martyn now.....

@JackMulhall92 Still not seen it I feel disappointment is on the horizon with this one. The first few seasons can’t ever be beat tbf.

Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man. These things never reallyyyy zing all these years later but a fairly decent watch from the halfway point. Tough to get going from a standing start.

@JackMulhall92 @Staceywestblog Exactly that Jack…… almost seems measured 🤔

@Staceywestblog @MarcusClayson I heard in the March the club weren’t that impressed with Kennedy prior to his October sacking. Someone mischievous (😜) might argue that someone of your calibre going against Kennedy towards the end of his tenure might not have been the most outlandish thing

@JackMulhall92 @NigeAnderson @TheSincilBanker Quite right mate.......as Sky now have the green light for free to air last day of the season it will i'm sure remain a 3pm

@NigeAnderson @TheSincilBanker They all have to kick off at the same time, but I know last year they kept League One at 3pm and moved the championship and league two

Do we think the Port Vale game will remain a Saturday 3pm fixture?

@BardneyBoy @Staceywestblog Week in week out their ignorance kills them…… wonderful

@Staceywestblog Every week disappointed fans of City's beaten opponents wail: 'Lincoln are rubbish. They just hoof it long, blah, blah'. Personally I love it. It makes a change from the Guardiola tippy tippy sideways and backwards stuff so many teams try and imitate, and we're the top scorers.

The Rotherham journo next to me said 'you're just like us under Paul Warne. Stronger, better organised, just better than everyone else'. Some compliment.

@RichScrafton @AndyPearson68 Think he thought he was off to watch Pittsburgh Steelers 🤔

@AndyPearson68 Was the one on the left in a different year? 😉

Lincoln and Rotherham uni connections 🤝

@Goodo1977 Left something on him 3 times.......all borderline Ben House slightly late......Rafferty was crying like a baby which isn't good from your skipper is it. Me.....i just loved it. 🤣

@MarcusClayson Was it a little naughty MC? From my advantage point I thought he didn’t want to know! UTI!

To beat Rotherham in 2nd Gear whilst cementing our chances of being League Champions is my kind of Afternoon! They have no chance of staying up when their Captain is not even up for a Battle but that’s none of my business! Finally Ivan is a Gem of a Player! UTI!

@Staceywestblog Really thought payback was on…… but that’s just being a tad greedy isn’t it 😁

It's almost 15 years to the day that I watched Rotherham put six past the Imps, without reply, in the same week they changed their manager. If this keeps going as it is, we'll be getting revenge by the same score, in the same wek they change their manager.

@SammyImp Don’t say that Sam 🫤

#PeakyBlinders film was “ok”, was expecting more if I’m honest but it’s over now 🥺

@RichScrafton @AndyPearson68 @JackMulhall92 Shut it Scrimshaw 😂

@AndyPearson68 @JackMulhall92 @MarcusClayson Works for me. Clayton’s the new Crowley

Been meaning to go to Rutland Water for years went today with Mrs P manged to get an 8 mile walk in 👣. Spot of lunch and some sunshine ☀️ place was immaculate well Maintained and free of rubbish crystal clear water also 💦 👀.

@RichScrafton @AndyPearson68 Like a scene from our office mate 😁

@AndyPearson68 @MarcusClayson Puts a tear in my eye 💪 uti forever! In my blood

@gmapleth @Goodo1977 You really would hope so

@MarcusClayson @Goodo1977 Living relatively nearby, our record against this mob has annoyed me for years. Hopefully start to put it to bed tomorrow

As a supporter of Lincoln City for over 40 years my record v Rotherham United is Horrendous! At 13yo I watched Desmond Hazel terrorise us and I haven’t let it go 😉! Hoping that this Team of Winners put them to the sword tomorrow and I can get on with my life 😂! UTI!

@Staceywestblog @Goodo1977 @THEAdamVickery Be interesting how his career goes…. obviously the club will have a plan to promote him BUT has he done enough and formed a close relationship with Skubala that could see him go with MS when he moves onto bigger things. No doubt we’d be protected💰either way.

@MarcusClayson @Goodo1977 @THEAdamVickery I wonder if it was the making of Tom Shaw. He did the out-of-possession work on the training ground. I think he thrived and has become a strong presence for it.

If rescheduled for 14th I think that’ll 5 games in 15 days-ish .. ouch

@Staceywestblog @Goodo1977 @THEAdamVickery When we appointed him I was astounded..always had a bit of arse about him. Was always going to end in tears imho. As you know I didn’t mind him and thought he brought us back into what I wanted my team to look like. Maybe the board knew all along….short term kick up the arse 🤷🏻‍♂️

@MarcusClayson @Goodo1977 @THEAdamVickery We can agree on that as well. His teams lacked personality, which reflected him as well.
