    They've taken 4 points from the last 9 at a crucial point of the season.

    If Scott's penalty goes in that's 2 points from last 9.

    I suggest he very much gives a **** and a touchline ban would not help him relax one bit.

    Wrong they won the game that mattered , so will take the points they need just, but i agree if the penalty goes in the HEAT would have really been on them

    Can you imagine Warnock or clough at Wrexham half time - they would probably have provoked a fight in the tunnel at half time

    Personally speaking I don’t like arrogant people. It seems to me that both LW and Notts are going about things the right way. I think you can be confident of yourself and achieve without showing arrogance. Ultimately, you pay your money you take your choice on the matter.

    No doubt its fine going things the right way, but when sides like wrexham have cheated all season to get the points that matter, unfortunately its part of the game - the best sides always have it

    Personally i loved the arrogance of Warnock and the success of his underskilled side, that were basically bullies

    Yes it's very regrettable that penalty didn't go in.

    I may be wrong but I don't think you could describe Parkinson as relaxed right now.

    Marino wasn't arrogant, talented? Very, but never came across as arrogant. Will go down as a QB legend and probably the best never to win a superbowl.

    I don't think Notts are too nice. I think we are respectful, humble, fierce and proud and don't need to resort to the dark arts, gamesman ship or other made up name that can be used to describe timewasting or cheating.

    We win by being technically better than the other teams we play, and win by being more skilful, and having more time with the ball than the opposition. We toy with them and grind them down to the point they become demoralised from chasing the ball and trying to win it back. Sometimes we have to be patient and wait for them to get tired (like Woking yesterday) and then when they are at their weakest we go up a gear and punish them.

    It's a script that's worked for 31 of our 44 games which at 70% win ratio is not too bad. It's got us where we are and long may it continue I say.

    Whilst I agree to a point, I don’t think we can claim to be whiter than white though.

    We’re not a physical side for sure. And we are clearly not on the same page as Wrexham when it comes to ****housery, nor Cheaterfurlough, Boredom Wood or Torquay.

    But we aren’t saints. They play to their strengths as we do. Simple as that for me, we’ll time waste as much as the next team. Ok not as much as Boreham wood, they are in their own league.

    For me the played I would expect to have more gamesmanship but doesn’t is Bostock. He’s pretty crap at getting free kicks. In fact, he doesn’t win anywhere near as many as he should when clearly being fouled.

    For me the most surprising thing having watched quite a lot if Wrexham recently is how much their fans feel the referees are against them. I say this even in the knowledge of our own couple of “brown envelope” idiots.

    Even to the point where they think they should be appealing their red cards. Parkinson’s and McFazdean’s…… it does show a lack of football league knowledge for a proportion of their fans.
