The Raptor 1,205 Posted August 21, 2022 (edited) 'Lowestoft's scheduled Emirates FA Cup Preliminary Round match against Mulbarton Wanderers this Saturday, August 20 at The Fosters Solicitors Community Stadium has now been postponed, as the FA investigates the previous round's encounter between Mulbarton Wanderers and Haverhill Rovers' What have Mulbarton been up to???? Or is it Haverhill who are dodgy?! Update.. Mulbarton Wanderers First Team have today been notified that we have been eliminated from the Emirates FA Cup due to playing an ineligible player during the extra-time replay victory vs Haverhill Rovers on Tuesday 9th August 2022. A player was dismissed during the club’s opening league fixture vs Sheringham and was subsequently banned for 3 matches. The club made a miscalculation of when the player’s suspension came into effect and therefore take full responsibility for this unfortunate error. I promise you the majority of residents (and ex residents) can count! Edited August 22, 2022 by The Raptor 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
benchwarmer 625 Posted August 24, 2022 (edited) I sometimes used to watch Attleborough Town at the Rec when I lived out that way. Plenty of graft I will say that, and one of the funniest moments I've ever witnessed at a football match. Boro were leading 1-0 with five minutes to go when the opposition equalised. Suspecting offside, the Boro trainer leapt up from the bench and pursued the linesman shouting "Lino, I want a word with you!". The trainer's wife was watching, and she shouted even louder "John, come yew back here and shut your cakehole!" As he slunk back towards the bench, someone called out "No sex tonight then John!" You just don't get that sort of thing at Carrow Road. Edited August 24, 2022 by benchwarmer 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr Apples 1,320 Posted September 4, 2022 Just seen a couple of ex-City 'legends' over the last couple of weeks in Scottish non-league. Steven Naismith, now in charge of Hearts B. Funnily enough his team are whiney cloggers and very one dimensional. Kris Renton now playing at Tranent, who is the size of a gable end (and just as mobile).

Mr Apples 1,320 Posted October 16, 2022 Took in Wroxham vs. East Thurrock yesterday. Good game, Wroxham went 2 up early then stopped playing so a fair result at losing 3-2. Two reds, about 9 yellows and plenty of chat. The East Thurrock coach was hilarious, wearing very short shorts, which he was constantly pulling up and rearranging...then doing hamstring stretches and squats. 😱🤣 Love non-league footie. 😍🤣 Apples 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mr Apples 1,320 Posted October 18, 2022 Sorry I missed you FF, could have had a pint! I don't know what happened to Wroxham, whether it was just a sloppy start by Thurrock or they just dropped too deep after the 2 goal lead and let Thurrock come onto them. Off to see Rangers B vs. East Stirlingshire at Dumbarton tonight. 😅 Apples Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FenwayFrank 2,458 Posted December 11, 2022 Wroxham have drawn three and won two from their last five games. Up to 14th. Football clubs at this level seem to have revolving doors don’t they ? We’ve lost a few players and got a couple in, Jack Robinson has come from Fakenham and has made us more balanced on the right. I’m starting to think we can stay up 😁 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Raptor 1,205 Posted July 22, 2023 That's random. Im sure there must be a perfectly reasonable explanation... It reminds me. I need to look up Mulbartons fixtures and see what's feasible to fit around city games. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The coming season is the opposite and you should be free to attend most home games. There have been some very good signings in the summer which point to a different style of play. And we welcome back Jonesy who will be looking to beat his record of 15 yellows in a season 😂 Edited July 23, 2023 by dylanisabaddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We've won our last two which puts us comfortably in mid table which is where I expect us to finish, realistically we're punching above our weight so I'm happy with things.

Good. I would be worried about Mulbarton if promoted. It probably wouldn't end well. Mildenhall will win ithe league and should be OK at a level above but the play offs will be 4 very evenly matched teams who aren't of the same class. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once you get into step four there are quite a few teams that have some very good players. The other thing is competing at this level costs more, particularly with the extra travel from Norfolk when you're playing teams based in north London. As a little side note the Maldon and Tiptree manager on Saturday was Jamie Cureton 🙂 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Despite the fact that the club is doing so well the attendances still aren't as good as they should be. And the main issue is that Mulbarton don't have 4 or 5 stand out players, they have 10 of a very good Thurlow Nunn standard plus a goalkeeper who should be playing two tiers higher. It wouldn't be easy if they do go up. Nice to hear Jamie has made a start! Edited March 4 by dylanisabaddog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Raptor 1,205 Posted March 16 Went to see Mulbarton play today. Comfortable 3-1 win. They should've had a few more. My only complaint is that the players need to stop hoofing the ball out of play over my head. Almost got fed up with having to keep retrieving it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
