Mansfield Town v Exeter City Matchday Thread

Some more in-depth stuff at twohundredpercent who some of you may remember dug real deep and pursued the Slime/Risdale/Heaney connection with a passion.

Final paragraph is very well written in particular.

"Boston United beat Bradford Park Avenue in the play-offs in May to secure promotion back into the Blue Square North. The legacy of Evans’ time as their manager is that they had fallen so far in the first place. Crawley Town supporters have had three years of Evans and do not need to be told about his past and they may well not give a damn about the moral aspect of Evans’ past if their team does manage to get promoted into the Football League at the end of this season, but the story of Steve Evans is a story that stands being told again as a reminder of chronic mismanagement and one of the most clear-cut examples of what has come to be known as “financial doping” imaginable. Ultimately, whatever else Evans achieves in his career will be tarnished by his past and whichever club employs him will be tainted by his involvement with them. Promotion is one thing, but respect can’t neccessarily be bought."

Evans at it again today moaning about a penalty decision that wasn't given his way when Stags man Alfie Potter hit the deck late on.

"If last week's is a penalty (referring to the one we got against them) then this is a penalty...." he goes on to say.

Ah but Stevie boy. According to you, our penalty shouldn't have been a penalty so by that logic your penalty today shouldn't have been given either yes?

So your point is?

His point is that either both should have been given, or neither. But only one was, so he's unhappy.

Which makes me happy
