Bugger ..... Mansfield win, up to 3rd, goal from Tyler Walker, Grant man of the match, Smith clean sheet, wish we had some mates
It would be interesting if their January signing gets crippled in his first game for them and derails their plans on the run in.....!!?
Thing is though , there are some on here that say they can't understand all the anti Notts feeling coming out of Mansfield, as you never considered us rivals more like the bumpkins/inbreds up the road. This thread and the majority on it are displaying a level equally if not more vile than anything posted anywhere.
Some of you ought to take a look at what you are posting and think carefully. There are libel laws in this country and some do have the resources to pursue such actions, such as the people you are speaking about.
Then ask yourselves why you are doing it? It's football for Gods sake nothing more. Why not direct your anger and frustration into something positive like trying to support your club?
As has been said earlier, "why does every thread have to be turned into talking about Mansfield Town?" Obsessed?
I think you're a bit mixed up there. I've looked at your board, and there is a thread that's well over 50 pages long basically dedicated to laughing at our demise and taking the piss out of our owner. Most of it is juvenile nonsense about the shape of his head, but there's also plenty of genuine hatred coming our way. I don't think you'll find anyone on here throwing around comments talking about how we wish Mansfield nothing but pain and suffering, how we want to dance on your club's grave, or joking about your owner killing himself (complete with laughing emoji).
Football is all about banter and healthy rivalries, but when it turns into something supremely negative and destructive, I think it's a step too far - no matter which fans are involved.
As for obsessed, it seems to me that the better you do and the worse we do, the more interested your fans become in our so-called rivalry. I can only speak for myself, but I honestly cannot remember the circumstances around your relegation to the Conference, nor your promotion back into L2. I couldn't tell you when that happened, or what happened in between, simply because I couldn't care less. Let's see how your fans react if/when we go down and you go up, shall we?
One more thing, when I talk about banter, I'm talking about the 'Mansfield fans are all inbreds/Notts fans are all bed-wetters' stuff. No problem with that at all - it merely takes a false assumption about each group of fans and runs with it. There's no real hatred behind it. But wishing a club go out of business or that the fans suffer is something totally different. We're all football fans, and we all love our clubs. I'd personally never wish what's happened to Stockport, or what's happening to Chesterfield, on any set of fans.
