Let's be honest he's deliberately put pictures of fans faces online and encouraging a pile on. He doesn't know what those actual individuals are saying.
Imagine how bad that could get if he had more followers.
They were shouting "cheats" and abusing our players as they came off. If you heard so clearly, what abusive words were used?
You've taken pictures of people, put them online and encouraged online abuse of them. You know what you're doing with those pictures.

Can’t wait to rob your camera and bounce it off the shipping containers. Yes, shipping containers as a stadium, that is how low we’ve fallen. Is the Deva Stadium owned by Chester FC or was it lost when Chester City went pop? Si, can we just ban this fucking balloon?

Oddly enough they recorded an episode of Casualty at our ground. Probably didn't need acting extras that episode just used the Gloucester players.

I think tigerroar is in a small minority, if he's happy watching Gloucester play like that every week. It's really poor to obviously slow the game down by taking 30-40 seconds over every throw in. Even when the player eventually got to where he should take the throw they then engaged the lino in conversation. Referee should have dealt with it. As for what appeared to be feigning injury, its embarrassing at best. I get that some players may have had injuries, but it seemed to be tactical.
If every game of football I watched was punctuated by gamesmanship and cheating to the extent that it ruined the experience, I wouldn't bother going. I wonder how many people who went last night were enticed down by recent results? How many will come back.
I suppose its OK to play that way when you don't have a crowd to entertain. Any proper club who relied on supporters would soon get rid of the manager if they coached that.

Don’t see why he’s singling out Lynch? Weird one. Quite a few had a poor game tonight, but I don’t see you listing and witch hunting them? Coulton, Edwards, Dudley, Roberts or even Weeks wasn’t anywhere near his levels. Is Lynch his new Dudley? The blokes a proper, proper weirdo. Been told who he is. Not gonna say anymore on that. 🫣 Be calling for CM’s head soon. Prick. Do tell.

Enjoyed my visit to Wales this evening. Seemed a long trip home though. You're an angry bunch up there. I didn't see too much time wasting, you were probably put out because Tommy with the long throw had to come from the middle of the park to take them. Not sure what the ref did too wrong either. And when you say our players dived you need to realise that three went off injured including one who ended up in hospital. Disappointing not to hold on for the win, would've been very sweet after listening to the ridiculous amount of foul language coming from the terrace behind the goal. And a special mention to those grown adults who hung around the tunnel to shout abuse at our players as they left the field. My advice; take a deep breath, count to ten and act your age. Says the weird guy who was taking pictures of our fans, nonce-like behaviour

What I will say is this we don't give in that's a good thing and we got a point out of nothing We stay in games, and we're difficult to play against. That's a real skill and something we didn't have at all last season. What we're not managing to do is sneak wins, and that's why we are where we are in the table.

Cheers for the block on Twitter, Neil. I actually think that Gloucester City are a decent club, and I feel sorry for the genuine Gloucester supporters who have to associate with yourself, as you unnecessarily paint a bad image on your club. It is always nice to have fans of the opposition on here as I enjoy reading alternative opinions, however I hope you are ashamed of yourself for posting pictures of some of our supporters on a public platform without their permission, which encourages hate and bullying. Before you blocked me and went on private I read the comments, which are a disgrace towards normal people who are just supporting their team and want what’s best for their club. How dare they be passionate!!!
On another note, I hope all of the fellow Seals on this forum will join me in appreciating the excellent work that the likes of Rick Matthews and Terry Marland do for us, whose work sometimes goes under the radar. I’m not just saying this because I feature in Rick’s photo galleries quite a lot 😅, but we are very lucky to have two fantastic photographers who just get on with their jobs without tweeting awful stuff online. We should be grateful that they are genuine and decent people, who don’t forget are fellow supporters too. Be a Rick and a Terry - not a Neil!

I'll not jump on the insults bandwagon as a few others have done but give an honest appraisal of your antics. 30 years watching Chester and hundreds of games at all levels and that was by far the worst example of time wasting I have ever seen. I'm all for a bit of gamesmanship (keeper waiting to be challenged before picking up ball, running the ball into corner etc) and even wish that our lot had a bit more nouse when it comes to seeing a game out, but seriously, you must have the most unfit players in the league with the amount of 'cramp' and 'injuries' they got every time we looked like putting a bit of pressure on. I would genuinely be embarrassed to be one of your players tonight, the way they were in supposed agony every five minutes. That doesn't include the time taken for every dead ball/throw in, whilst you first let one player go to take it, before suddenly deciding you'd actually much prefer somebody else. That said, the referee and the female assistant especially, let them get away with it for pretty much the whole match - A few bookings early on would have nipped it in the bud. The fact that you 'didn't see too much time wasting' suggests that it's nothing unusual for you - If so I genuinely feel sorry for your fans having to watch that every week. I appreciate you are much higher in the table than us, but bloody hell it must be painful at times - Did the 8 minutes added on not even give you some sort of clue that it's not the norm? How often do you see that in a game with no injuries, other than the 'cramp' usually associated with the last period of extra time in an end-to-end cup match? I don't think the eight minutes were added for time wasting, it was probably sum total for I think six subs and time spent treating players. There is far too much assumption that our players weren't genuinely hurt, as I've said prior to this, three were unable to continue one of which went to hospital. I know you're a different breed up north but try to be a it more balanced. have to add too, love the way you counter the time wasting thing with acts including the ball being in play! In the 2nd half they had a throw in near the dugout. The ball boy had the ball waiting to hand it to the player to throw it in. The player was consulting with his manager about what to do with the throw for over 30 seconds. Eventually the player turned and took the ball off the ball boy. Went to take the throw but put it down and waited for his mate to take the throw who by chance was 50 yards away. He then went to take the throw but stole about 30 yards and the ref told him to take it back to where it was to be taken from. HE THEN took another 20 yards before he actually took the throw. This was going on all through the 2nd half. Get a throw, walk over as slow as fuck, go to take it, then wait for another player to come over and take it. The process of taking a throw took over a minute every time. And they had at least 12 throws! Then there were the subs. Walking from as far away as they could, as slowly as they could. Took fuckin ages to sub their players. Did you notice how quickly they got to their feet when they want down but never got a free kick? Amazing how quick they recovered. Couple that with players going down with cramp, 'injury', head injuries, walking off with the ball when we had a throw, free kick. Slowing the game down by arguing with the ref before we even got the kick taken. There should have been 20 minutes added on because that's how much time these cheating diving twats wasted. The ref never got a grip of them, it was obvious what they were up to. You really need to get real mate cheating twats!

Also when ref asked if 'injured' player wanted physio and ref indicated to bench for physio to come on he sat on the bench until called a second time and then just strolled on.

Find it really pathetic that you 2 are always bashing other DC members after every game for having an opinion different to yours. Why do you do it?? Why not just ignore his post if you are angered by it so much? Find it really pathetic that a grown man uses two logins and quotes himself and likes his own posts etc. Yes that would be rather pathetic if it were true. Predictable Frank as per. Accept my deepest apologies that we have a difference of opinion when all you do is respond with your juvenile little accusations & attempts to bully certain members into submission. You need to grow up.

Just back on to the game itself, I've picked up on people's frustrations that the defenders tend to pass amongst each other rather than go forwards. The problem is that we play in the 6th tier of football, and our players are at this level for a reason. You have to be brave and comfortable on the ball to play that way. Simon Grand a prime example of someone who would try and ping a pass through the lines to get up up the pitch, but for every one that paid off there would be another that he'd gift to the opposition and he got hammered for it at times. B&J tried to encourage Williams to do similar, and I never felt he looked comfortable doing it, and he's looked much better for going back to basics.
I think we all know now that Calum likes to keep things tight, and play low risk football. It may not always be pretty, but we are always in games and for the level we're at it just seems like a streetwise and sensible approach. Under B&J we could be great going forwards and we were fantastic on the eye when everything was going well, but a disaster performance was never far away and we never shook the habit of throwing away cheap goals. I think at any level you have to find that balance, and maybe Calum is a little conservative at times but he's had to manage a very difficult start to the season which I think has hampered what he's trying to in terms of style. I do think that some changes may well need to happen to give us some more width, but in terms of our defence I don't mind us just keeping the ball and being patient with openings rather than either forcing a ball that isn't on or ending up lumping it up. I think our league position is a bit false, but I certainly don't see us as one of the top teams (yet) - realistically with everyone fit I think we should be feeling like we can be a play off side. It'll be interesting to see what happens in January, and whether Cal is given a bit of extra money from our cup run to strengthen in certain areas.

With no transfer window, surely should be looking to strengthen asap? We need to be turning draws into wins if we want to be in the playoffs.

Would be interested in hearing where people think we need to strengthen. We're well covered central defensively with 3 really good options with Burke/Williams/Edwards, with also Kenyon doing a decent job there on occasions. Right back Coates has been player of the season for me, and Morgan as back up is absolutely fine. Not convinced with Coulton personally and feel like there's potential to improve that position. Central midfield has seen Kevin Roberts as a revelation of late, alongside the obvious quality of Weeks and then one of Devine/Lynch. Devine and Lynch have looked decent at times, and other times not so great, but we have to remember we have Earl to come back in who was originally suggested as being back around Xmas time, and obviously Glendon for next season. Murray also played in those midfield positions, although to be always seems better as an impact sub. Think we can all agree that Willoughby and Hall have done well this season, with Stephenson maybe not hitting the same levels at last year. Dudley continues to frustrate - the quality never in doubt, but plagued with inconsistency. With all that in mind, you could say maybe a left back and another good forward option should be the areas to strengthen? Or is it a case of the players we've got are good enough but maybe a tweak in system needed to get the best of us in an attacking sense?

We could do with a left sided wide player. We've got Thomas to come back, but seems injury prone so far so maybe a backup for him. Hall and Willoughby should be playing together as a front 2, not the "wide" players in a front 3

I’d say left back aside we’re pretty solid but would agree another forward option wouldn’t go a miss. And what’s with Stephenson not getting any game time? Surely starts Saturday? Talking of forwards, I see Adam Rooney at Brackley? 4 years from banging them in for Aberdeen, he’s in NLN? How much money have Brackley got? He’d be superb for us with Kurt.

Fuck them, sooner we're out of this tin pot league the better. Sadly is is upto the ref to enforce these rules, and if they aren't willing, then you have to either play the, at their own game or ignore it.
Rules I'd like to see,
Game on a stop clock, you can't time waste then.
If a player is down injured, unless it is head, play on. If they're not injured they'll soon get up.
Player nearest the byline takes the throw in.

I don’t want our defenders trying to play Hollywood balls from back to front that rarely works but if you just keep passing sideways and backwards for passings sake you tend to get nowhere because the other team just shuffle across without really working very hard, but if you have space in front of you like in the second half last night when they just dropped deeper we need to drive forward with the ball which gives them decisions to make . Do they drop further back or step up which then leaves gaps if they don’t all do it, it still leaves you the passing options sideways if that’s the only one on but at least the whole team is on the front foot, hope that makes sense.

Noticed their manager screaming to their goalkeeper to throw it out towards the half way line to gain a few yards. Then when Hall took the throw in all the ground erupted to say don't give it back to them. I'm all for giving it back to the opposing team but this time loved it when he gave it to our players. Is it right that Gloucester are full time and yet they have cramp in first half?
