That's because when it's a loss you say it's down to Brad Harris being a donkey and anyone who knows anything about football jumps in to correct you.

This ^^^

Lol. He's like John Obi Mikel or Marouane Fellaini. I also get annoyed when I go up to Old Trafford and the latter starts. Football is a game of opinions.

I think the most ridiculous comments to come after losses in recent times were that we had given up on this season, and were planning for next season, despite sitting in the play-offs.

I'm now guessing you are a Man Utd "fan" too then- it's just getting worse for you.

Indeed. Is there something wrong with enjoying top level sport?

Born in the 90's, living miles away from Manchester, I'm all for sport at the top level but some may call it glory supporting. Pick the team that wins all the time and opt for the easy option. No wonder you seemingly want an instant rise up the football pyramid from AFCR&D

Surely there were more local top level football teams you could have chose at the time. Villa, Leicester, Birmingham, Coventry, West Brom, and even Ipswich would have been plying their trade in the Premier League at the time? Just a thought.

A much, much, much better performance.

We (still) need to convert more of the chances we've creating.

Maybe that was a kick up the backside the players needed, seeing that we could be in the NPLS next season, (if we don't get promoted)

Which would be bad, because a, much more travelling and b, a much, much tougher league.

Come on Diamonds lets get promoted.

I apologise for the decision I made as a 4 year old haha.

After maintaining a season ticket at Diamonds through the demise, spending often my entire Saturday following them up and down the country to holes like Barrow watching players like Neil Cousins, the last thing I've been called in my life is a glory supporter. Not least this season, when my commutes to Old Trafford have been for two 0-0 draws and a defeat to Norwich

And on RDFC, yes, I think we'd all rather visit decent grounds and watch half-decent football, so long as it's sustainable, and given the attendances we get I can't for the life of me see why that wouldn't be possible

Losing 2-1

we are playing Arseley!!!!

Doesn't matter who we're playing, we'll still lose.

Lost. Pathetic
