I'm with "controversial" (not with everything said, but the general tone). His rant is closest to summing up how I felt leaving the ground yesterday - blasting out Radiohead's "The Bends", shouting "f******g hell" and banging my head on the steering wheel. Yes - possibly I do need anger management. Why did we play hoof ball for 89 minutes? We had, I recall, 2 passages of play where we kept it on the floor and played decent passing football. The terrace could see that this worked. Why can't the players or DC? Why did we persist on hoofing it to a bambi-like Blisset? When we were 1-0 up why oh why oh why did we sit back and try and defend it? I've been watching the Gas for 25 years and we have NEVER EVER EVER defend a 1-0 advantage with any confidence. Dover were p*ss poor and we should have romped this in the last 20 minutes and gone top of the league. I had this vision - watching the Gas beat Alfreton and winning the title at home, to wipe away the pain of lasts seasons tragic relegation. Instead DC took off our only consistent goal-scorer and put on the Balanta. DC too cautious and defensive. AGAIN. Puddy f*cked up. But we shouldn't have invited their late pressure and give them a chance to sneak an equalizer. Still f*cked off and still angry. It was like condensing the feelings of the Wycombe and Mansfield game into about 10 minutes. You're elated and up - and then your stamped back down to earth. Crushed like a bug in the ground. Yes - I'll be there vs Alfreton. Might have cheered up a bit by then. And if anyone wants to doubt my loyalty - don't get me f******g started. yep, all of that

FOR F**KS SAKE YOU NEGATIVE BELL ENDS!! Get a grip. Yes, it was an absolute stinker to concede late on and I am gutted about it. However, before kick off this would have been an acceptable position to find ourselves in come 4.45 tonight. Next Saturday is going to be great. If we go a fee goals up early on, Barnet will bd under a lot of pressure, Gateshead will give em a game. Come on guys, stay positive!! It was the tactics set by Clarke that did for me. Barnet drawing gave us the gateway to go up as champions next week, and we failed, again. One shot on goal against a very average conference team. Chris Lines walking off shaking his head summed it up. I have had my doubts about Clarke and this game confirmed them. Terrible, rubbish. We are now entering the most crucial period in our clubs 127 years history we had the chance to go into the last game with our destiny in our own hands but as normal managed to mess it up. the playoffs are a lottery and if we don't go up and the court case against sainsburys goes against us the summer will be unbearable and the fans will turn on Clarke and the board like never before Higgs will either walk away or will have to come up with a stunt to keep the fans and his only option will be to sack Clarke and try to get someone in he will try to entice holloway to get some fans onside and off his back

It's not over until the fat lady sings me 'ol babbers and we still have the same chance next week as we had this week, in fact even better because if we win and Barnet lose or draw next Saturday, this time they can't catch us....woo hoo...party time !!!

If things run our way next week I will be approaching a manic state of ecstasy. It could be amazing I'm just fairly confident Barnet will win. I think we will win also, but what a comedown the end of the season will be if they win and so do we. Might as well lose if they win.
Feel slightly more positive today. After all, if we had been 1 down and equalised in the 88th min we would be buzzing. All perspective I guess, but it was sickening yesterday.

By the way, we are all going on the pitch if we do it. No excuses.

Can't nick us all.
I was thinking that they only nick you if it's negative? Surely if we get promo and go on after final whistle they won't be nicking people?

You'd like to think so wouldn't you, just make sure there are lots following you. By the way I'm not condoning a pitch invasion as I like the players to be given an opportunity to come back out and do a lap of honour. Can you be a bit crafty and delay the pitch invasion until the players come back on the pitch, sort of ambush them !

No matter what, nothing ever runs for us. On a day those swine who burned down our ground, chased our players off, the most fickle, nasty hooligans not deserving of the success that fat fool buys them won their league (led by a borderline simpleton), we have to endure this s***. No confidence we will go up in playoff after they bottled it today. Cant hold on to 1-0 at Dover. I'm not looking forward to Alfreton, guaranteed Barnet go up as champions. Barnet. Barnet are better than us. Just goes to show how stupid this game is, we've stood by this club and we get nothing. The armchair army over the river get yet another promotion. This club is useless, I regret I ever started going. This season was the big chance, could be 20 years we are down here. Some of you will be dead by this time we get back. When will we ever even be a league below city? 2050? had enough almost. Not expecting anything but the same s*** now, I'll go but my heart isn't in it. Football is too cruel.
I try to think of it as character building...

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!

God, some of you on here are so defeatist. I was at Dover, yes it was s***, yes I was sooooo down at the end, but I've been watching the Gas for over 50 years ( even before they were called the gas!) and we never do things the easy way! The 'Fat lady has not sung', we are in the playoffs, no matter what happens on Saturday, and most of us would have taken that before the season started! Barnet could still screw-up on Saturday, if they don't we'll go up via the playoffs! Let's get behind the boys and no more recriminations and blame games! Saturday and maybe the next three games after that are all that count now! UTG
