The unofficial AFC Rushden & Diamonds messageboard

Wow, once again I'll echo what a heroic effort. From my point of view and in my own opinion a definite red for jamal. It looked to me that he swung his arm towards the player and made contact with his face, so he had to go, no question. It's just a pity he couldn't rise to the bait as he walked towards the tunnel showing a slightly abusive attitude.

But anyways superb effort from the lads. Have to say top effort from gilly in goal. My mouth nearly dropped as I saw him walk out but top save in second half to keep us in the game. Hope dunks hamstring ain't too bad. But well done lads you all put in a shift

Now!! Aaron king got his chance to prove himself today, coming on quite early and again in my own opinion he blew it. Once again he tried to do his fancy flicks and his attitude today was just wrong, and he is bloody lazy!! I really rated him early season but now it wouldn't bother me if he moved on. With bunts and ling coming in today who I thought were fantastic I feel his time is limited

One question, what was the deal with parky running and celebrating in front of their manager, which was hilarious :lol:

Can't say for sure, but either way it won't affect us, we literally could be going anywhere depending on which half we're in, so it could be Cornwall or it could be Northumberland again, who knows.

I did a quick map of all the teams left in the draw. We're the car All the teams with undotted markers are the ones with replays/original ties still to be played. I've done some dividing up and I've only counted 25 teams further north than us. So we'll definitely be in the northern section unless I've done something wrong? (I was going on 32 teams on each side of the draw)

Morpeth away it is then!

Words were exchanged between him and their bench midway through the second half, it can only be something to do with that

I honestly think we'll get Huntingdon next round ! :roll: :roll:

Hoping we avoid them though, and get a home draw.

Tbh I was a little worried when he stayed there slightly longer than he should of done, that's the sort of thing I've heard cause mass brawls in the past and I'm glad their bench didn't react.

Where do you start after a game like that!!

All I say is well done to the Management, all the lads and especially Gilly!! no one would of thought he was a defender and not a goalkeeper. His handling was faultless.

Was impressed with both the new signings, they looked to have that extra bit of quality what the players who left recently didn't

All I can say is "Mark Starmers Barmy Army"

Great game, well done lads, and Gilly Man of the Match without a shadow of a doubt. SS ps. Thanks Radio Diamonds for sending my bruv a message.

Regarding Parkinsons goal his celebration may have been twofold.
He may have got some stick from the home team and bench with the OG, but mainly I think because it was his first goal for the club and he was going to milk the occasion for all it was worth!!
A tremendous performance today from everyone, especially Gilly who certainly deserved his MOTM.
(expect Tom Cross to go on twitter claiming his chances of playing are now zero and he wants to join Woodford Utd!!)

Apologies to all listeners on Radio Diamonmds if we got a bit too excited but we are passionate fans just like the rest of you.

Thanks to all at AFC Wulfrunians for making us so welcome today.

Crap given to Parky by the bench after his own goal, think he was just letting them know he was now on a hat trick. The manager took it ok but others didn't, but then don't start what you can't Finish.
IMO Best so far by the team, given 100 minutes with 10 men, 2 likely starters not getting there. Could have been 3 up in 20 mins and coasted home, but glad we didn't as how it panned out was much more fun to watch.
