I still think 1400-1600 will be there paying and clapping at the end.

To those who threw the beer, I say well done. To anybody who threw some abuse towards Owers, I say well done. To all those who would like to sit down and have a rational discussion with the owner and his management team, I say good luck to you but you're being laughed at.

Surely you don’t mean that. Be angry by all means, tell him what you think, but throwing beer? Come on, that is juvenile and demeaning, as well as potentially criminal.

No excuse for throwing anything over the manager or setting of flares - hope those responsible are banned

Idiot.

No clear game plan, no drive or determination, no end product. The frustration of watching their pint sized keeper collect every throw or cross was unbearable.

Owners must go, the atmosphere was toxic today, and that showed at the end the way fans were confronting him. We need someone to get behind and that for sure isn't him. I just fear the shortlist of applicants would be very slim....

Your words hurt me.....perhaps we can sit down and discuss it nicely over a cup of tea. I'll sit down, smile nicely and then walk away inwardly laughing at how you feel content with the discussion we've had.

Isn't this how Osborne has dealt with the Trust?

I disagree, I think the list of applicants would be long............but the quality would be slim.

Let's face it, anyone new coming in can only do better. They get the immediate support of a dwindling fanbase, a couple of decent performances and suddenly everybody is back onboard.

It's all about whether Osborne is happy with the current situation. I fear he is.

Whatever your opinion of the manager there is no justification in that sort of behaviour. No wonder the club is in such a state with twats like you making postings like that.

Technically it is more a Common Assault Brucie but let’s not split hairs. I completely agree that the last thing we need is mindless twats further sullying our already tarnished image ....they should be banned for these actions.

Having beer thrown in your face would be unpleasant and out of order but it was in fact a cup of hot coffee. So not just unpleasant but also pretty dangerous.

Can you imagine having a scalding liquid thrown in your face just because you may not be very good at your job? Given the recent spate of acid attacks I imagine it would be pretty scary as well as painful.

Totally out of order and I can't see how anyone can condone this type of behaviour.

But, despite the embarrassment of losing at Plainmoor, (oh,and nice of your fans to spit on our manager)we are doing OK for a team of piss heads picked at the pub car park on a Saturday morning to play in a pub league.
Keep faith in GO. I'm sure he will take you to where you deserve to be.

Agree with your last sentence. Caroline468

Good one Caroline! We deserve it- but maybe not him.

Oh dear your minimal brain cells would make that conversation tricky.

Those actions cannot be defended.

You're absolutely right. criminal acts should not be tolerated but it's interesting how much the fans tolerate the shambles at Plainmoor.

We should all unite behind Owers. It's like he said, the tide must turn soon so lets all turn up at Plainmoor and give Reid and co our complete support for 90+ minutes.

Hurrah!

I honestly can't see where the next goal is coming from
