Enjoyed our banter on saturday during the game HTAFC and i hope you knock out Hastings and get a big tie and i hope that the annoying Harrogate fan that was on here t'other day having a pop falls over on a randomly splattered patch of vomit after a night out and breaks his legs thus meaning he'll have to miss the game. What a shame that would be!

austrianandygull wrote:HTAFC you are more than welcome to come on and celebrate, we aren't all knuckledraggers that will have a go at you mate. Do you have any commentary up there in Harrogate? ( i presume you're in harrogate? ).

austrianandygull wrote:Feelings reciprocated HTAFC, and do i remember rightly that your pitch has a distinctive slope?

austrianandygull wrote:We had to go round the houses mate but we got there in the end. You agree then.

Apologies for calling you a she, it was unintentional and i hope the best team wins today, actually i hope we'll get a replay just so i can go back to Harrogate. It's just up the road from my mums house.

austrianandygull wrote:Yeah that's true to some extent Jase but that's what EVERY fan of the smaller club in this scenario would say. I think HTAFC is getting upset because we are saying that we SHOULD be beating them easily and we SHOULD be getting 3 or 4 and i can understand that because she is sticking up for her club but thinking they are better than they are. We are as good as top half in league 2 which is where we currently are and they are as good as 13th or wherever in the conference north. If they were any better then they wouldn't be in that position. Therefore we are perfectly entitled to say we should be rolling them over and it is not unreasonable to say that. What HTAFC is saying is that the Harrogate lads will roll their sleeves up and compete and i'd expect nothing less and if they turn us over ( which happens in cup football ) then they have played better on the day generally. They still won't be as good as us otherwise they would be above us in league 2. I am not writing Harrogate off like HTAFC says, they have as much chance as us but we are the better side overall and should be comfortably beating them. At the end of the day if you are classed as a professional in whatever sport or career and get beaten or undermined by an amateur or novice then it is unacceptable and those professionals should be reprimanded. For example if i was a surgeon operating on someones appendix and a trainee surgeon told me i was doing it wrong and showed me why and he was right then i should be reprimanded and suspended. Like Torquay players should if they don't win today.

I have been round the block too many times to write teams off just because of their league placement. I am not one of these youngsters who think that everyone below them is fodder, I have age and experience on my side! Please do not tar us all with the same brush!

austrianandygull wrote:By the same token HTAFC what would you think if Town were playing at home to Bishop Monkton FC? Would you be saying they're a load of overweight plumbers who can't wait to get the game over so that they could go to the pub and that you should be hammering them given the gulf between you both? I rest my case.

Matt.

Thanks for that HTAFC, i must have missed his ugly mug! I thought the reason why he wasn't on the profiles page was because he was still taking a goal kick somewhere and was late for the photoshoot. :~D Sorry about that but thanks for pointing it out. If he is still with you then why has he not been playing recently as i know he hasn't been suspended?
