Bonser has just announced that the squad is to be reduced to fifteen next season.

Amazing result. Without seeing the game I still find today's events bizarre in the extreme and question what the ref was doing.

How do you end a run without a clean sheet by managing that feat with only 9 men - unbelievable?

Has this ever been achieved before? Statos?

6 minutes injury time last week, and again this week. No wonder I've got no fingers left....



Don't these refs realise it's after midnight here in HK?!



Oh, and WELL DONE LADS!!!!

Not been listening as I am enjoying the only time I ever watch golf. Great result away from home and with 9 men. Fair play to the players, and the manager.


UTS!

Normally,a team might manage a result if the lose ONE player in mid-to late second half.We lost two players in the first half,were drawing,and went on to win!As some of us has said-one of our best-evers.Be interesting to hear what returning fans have to say-especially about the Ref!

And any of your posts about Bonser are?

Don't be angry about the fact you made a statement that shows your stance against Bonser up as being ridiculous.

Dont be disappointed that all your posts about Bonser and the club are pie in the sky and in a little dream world where the pixies play in the gardens.

I am happy today for the fact MY team won. I must have Walsall more in my heart because I have congratulated the team first whereas you have decided trying to post first for arguments to soothe your own personal arrogance.

It's ok tho, dont be angry . ;)

He certainly was. Not the only one, either.

Great result today. Mullen was right when he said after the game that there is a brilliant team spirit in the side at the moment.

As the guy who just called WM from Brighton has just said, the circumstances of that result make it nothing short of amazing.

No Ricketts, arguably our best player
2 sent off after half an hour
Mullen and the players going into the game staring a new, unwelcome club record (longest run without a clean sheet) in the face.

What a result.

Just be HAPPY! :D :D :D :D
Think about the poor fans of.....
Mansfield
York
Wrexham
Torquay
Could throw in Johnny-come-lateleys Oxbridge United too.
And, of course, Barrow (Barrow???)

They were our peer group once!
(Wouldn't it be fun to go to St James' Park next season in the Cha....)

Come on, now. Get a grip! :wink:

Great result and by the sound of it an even better performance. The last time we won away finishing with nine men was a match at Chesterfield back in the eighties winning 2 -1 as I recall :D
