Linnets' Fans' Forum

Now playing for Mattishall  in the Anglian Combination Prem under Robert Fleck I believe.

Wisbech are unbeaten in the 8 games since Setch took over! Good luck to him!

Scores on debut!

His sacking does appear harsh but their recent run of results- only 1 point in the last 5 matches - does look like relegation form. The bottom 4 go down from that division and Corby are in the bottom 4. Being in such a perilous position, the club probably thought they had nothing to lose by sacking him. It will be interesting to see where he goes to next.

Doing a very good job as most Lynn fans knew he would. Its nice to see him doing the business and proving the one Lynn "supporter" that seemed to take delight in him losing his first few games, wrong (again)!

So there I was Adam, enjoying seeing Lynn winning their Norfolk Senior Cup semi- final, after a penalty shoot out, only to get home to find your comment!

Although you have not named me (just name me and deal with it Adam - what are you worried about,) I can't recall any other poster saying anything that might be construed as negativity towards Gary Mills, other than myself, so I assume it must be me that you are referring to. Some posters avoid naming other posters that they disagree with so that any response can be met with an "It wasn't you that I was referring to - don't get so touchy etc., etc.

I do recall someone - I think it was you - saying that I was having a "pop" at Gary Mills. I asked you to back up that comment with evidence and you could not.

So, I say the same again Adam: point out where I am "taking delight" in him losing his first few games and if you can prove your point, I will happily retract this and apologise for offending anyone. I would prefer an open discussion rather than these sort of bitchy insinuations.

To be honest Adam, I think these sort of personal attacks on a forum against other posters are cowardly. Disagree with me by all means, but attack my argument and try and keep these cheap shots out of it.

To be fair, many of your posts are thoughtful and interesting; you just seem to take criticism of your viewpoints a little too personally sometimes.

Your post also stated that I was "wrong (again)" What else are you referring to Adam? Spell it out and will happily discuss it with you.

In the Desborough team tonight against Corby. Seems he is player-coach there.

Jack Defty in the first season after reformation,over 50 I believe in the first season?

That is impressive Grissles. Is part of the Defty legend built upon the fact that he stayed around to play at step 5 after the reformation?

Who could forget his 9 minute hat-trick against Lynn when playing for Wellingborough in Dec 2011. Lynn signed him soon afterwards and he went on to score 26 goals in 42 games for Lynn. Whilst I acknowledge that his goals were scored at steps 4 & 5, does any Lynn striker have a better goals per game ratio?

Now scored 5 goals in last 6 matches.  Mettam has only scored 5 all season.

Defo one that got away. He is a natural goalscorer although Lynn never played him in his best position.

He picked up an injury in the Chorley game - been out for a bit. He's scored lots of goals for FC and gets very positive reviews.

He's probably better than our current strikers (how much does Mettam get a week?) Can we get him back.
