How long ago did this incident occur, I believe the national league only meet once a month for decision making issues. The club has said we wil make no further comment at this time, hello, step up and give the facts and tell us who messed up and apologise. Stats man we need some new calculations as to points required.

I think Bill Phillips was meant to be involved somehow - perhaps he was the one running up the side of the pitch trying to stop the substitution. As it happened, it didn’t prevent us reaching the play-offs but possibly dropped us down a place.

On his day he can be a good defender but let’s be honest the guys been a total calamity! Shocking disciplinary record and stinking attitude toward the fans in pressured situations.

As much as this is the secretary’s and clubs fault I also blame marshall for being totally unaware of his own personal situation and not flagging it up! Utterly useless on and off the pitch…don’t want to see him around the club again!

He seriously doesn't know how many bookings/points he's totted up? No one said to him "one more yellow and you'll have a suspension".

They must know when a ban begins and ends, how that side of it works or do they really just turn up and kick a ball around a bit?

We are a shambles of a club. Makes me boiling mad.

Not that I don't agree about Marshall's awful card collection!
