HIGHLIGHTS | NOTTS COUNTY v GRIMSBY

Highlights from Monday's play-off eliminator.

[@dazbatch2532]

Grimsby fan here I know what you are all going through Grimsby was stuck in this league for 6 years. Been to Wembley quite a few times just to lose in the final and losing on penalties. Best way out of this league is coming first I’ll be coming back to notts county next season to watch gtfc v ncfc Ps great attendance record shame you wouldn’t sell us any more tickets we would of sold 4000 easily

[@haalandsonlangstaff7070]

Grimsby will go up mate did you see Richardsons foul at the end qhe went back to forrest I never liked him he always commits stupid fouls even though he has the pace

[@smitbe1]

tickets were limited by safety advisors

[@sabretooth8056]

I live in hope , but never believe we will win in the biggest games.....To see where we are now after starting to go watch them in the 70's is very, very depressing.....

[@tonywilkins1236]

The bottom line is that we under performed all season and the lottery of the play offs were always going to be difficult to succeed in. Could we honestly expect this Notts team to win 3 straight matches against top sides in the division? The basics of Notts getting out of this are simple.....they should be averaging 2 pts per game from the get go....none of this starting slow and building up mallarky....then with around 5 games to the end of the season see where we are then.....much less pressure if you perform well each and every week

Fine margins there. It was a good game between two evenly matched sides. The fact that all 3 games were won with virtually the last kick of the match shows that. It was always going to be a very tough league to get promoted from this year, and maybe you just need the rub of the green. COYP

[@MeadowLaney.]

In all fairness that lil push by Richardson sounded a lot worse on the radio, watching it there the guy made and absolute meal out of it. Still a pointless unneeded shove that has ultimately cost us. Hopefully next year is our year we finally get back in the football league where we belong.

Booked him some diving lessons at the local swimming pool.

[@FarseerB1rdy]

Their player went down like a sack of spuds but that's what was always going to happen as soon as he felt a touch. Richardson was nieve to even put a hand near him. Absolutely gutting and stupid goals to give away too. I was pitch side so seeing how close we were to scoring makes it even worse, they didn't look that clear cut on the night but christ how did we miss those. Roberts going off absolutely killed us.

[@xSpudhead]

@@FarseerB1rdy I thought roberts was quality against us on Monday, I don’t doubt for a second you won’t be one of the best teams next season. Always a good match between us and you:)

[@FarseerB1rdy]

@@xSpudhead Agreed mate! Hope you do well vs Wrexham and whatever happens let's hope we both have a good next season! God knows we need it 😂

[@Chris-mf1rm]

@@FarseerB1rdy absolute tosh. He pushed him. It’s a foul. Fair and square. It could have been a penalty. Thems the rules.

[@JC-si2td]

Wootton giving away the free kick, and THEN letting his man win the first contact at the back post, for the winner? He’s not the messiah, he’s a very naughty boy

[@willhorton2893]

That second one is handball btw

[@AkersJohn]

Well done Grimsby. Good defense all season. Meanwhile, the leaky boat that is the NCFC defensive line strikes again... tbh, blows my mind the Burchnall got the Forest Green job.

[@TDlovestrains]

How tf is the second not handball. I don't think Richardson does anything btw.

[@mariner4ever]

Are you serious? He pushes him in the back ffs, and it’s in the box so should’ve been a penalty anyway. Talk about blinkered.

[@FarseerB1rdy]

@@mariner4ever We're hurting mate. Of course we're gonna be bias. We both had chances to put the game to bed and we deffo should have had a second penalty for handball. Last goal was offside too. Hope you do well vs Wrexham and get smashed 😂

[@mariner4ever]

Replays have since showed that it wasn’t offside. As for getting smashed v Wrexham erm….. 😄😄 Up the mariners. 😄⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

[@FarseerB1rdy]

@@mariner4ever Haha! Still looked offside to be honest. Also, excellent form in the playoffs. Absolutely brilliant smash and grabbers 😁 Have a good season in L2!

[@mariner4ever]

Still can’t believe we came through all 3 games, so many decisions in all the games could’ve gone either way too, the Wrexham game was mental, possibly the worse referee I’ve ever seen but for both teams and in the end even though we deserved to win we probably had 3 big decisions go for us and 2 against. Then the final could easily have gone either way too, loads of chances for both teams but it seemed like we were just destined to go up. Just can’t wait for next season now. UTM!! 👊👊⚫️⚪️⚫️⚪️

[@nnnnjljeueueh]

Up the mariners!

[@johnwheat5199]

There's only one way out of this league, win it!

[@19555]

I just can’t believe we gauge up that easy

[@19555]

I’m still sad

[@godfreypallender3891]

How many games have lost in last few seconds not good enough

[@jasonsmith9992]

Mariners 😍

[@NolanSchuster4]

Haha I love your nonsensical comments about Richardsons two handed push not being a foul(you are lucky it wasn’t a penalty)…and your desperate appeals for a 2nd handball(cause you knew 1 goal wasn’t enough) when Smiths back is to the ball…and your crying exclamations for offside on the winner when it’s not even possible to determine with the angles we’ve seen. Enjoy your new season in the National League once again. We’ll keep fighting for promotion although unlikely! Not to mention GTFC had a disallowed goal that should never have been blown dead. Linesman isn’t even level with the ball and makes a call from a horrible angle.

[@martinburnett2314]

Now it’s a fourth season in the Conference. Embarrassing

[@elaineblackhurst1509]

It’s not embarrassing as the one-only automatic promotion place is now seriously distorting the top of the NL and Notts are one of several who really should not be there. Ask York, Darlington, Kidderminster, (and for six seasons, Stockport County) about NLN embarrassment. There were NL games every week last season that were bigger than games in both EFL 1 and 2. Rather than bemoaning a fourth season in this league, in Notts case, it might be worth looking at the reasons Barrow, Sutton, and Stockport County have have won the NL over the past three seasons; might be some useful lessons to learn.

Birchinall is not the man to take us our of this crap he is tactically nieve, 3 at the back, wing backs , it doesn't work at this level, this manager is no better than Ardley, give the boot and let doyle have a go

That’s funny because Notts County were the team in Nottingham way before forest we’re even a thing. Enjoy promotion to the prem, I doubt you will be anymore useful than Norwich were if ya know what I mean.

@@farielseradjy7460 your right county did come along first and that’s what makes it more embarrassing because you’ve achieved nothing close to what Forest have achieved 🤣🤣🤣, we will enjoy the prem don’t you worry 👌🏻 at least 1 team in Nottingham knows how to play football 👌🏻😎, enjoy another season in NON LEAGUE won’t you 🤣🤣🤣

[@farielseradjy7460]

@@weedconnoisseurgames4019 your season has been solid but the playoffs were a fluke. Sheffield dominated big time at the city ground and you were lucky on penalties, your goal in the final was an own goal and Huddersfield should of had 2 pens. It county is such an irrelevant club, the fact that you have come on this page to drop hate as a forest fan makes it seem that we are more important then you say.
