Kev starts, 'Happy Birthday to You'...

Radio Lancs are covering Burnley v Spurs in an early kick off, so can't listen on-line. As a result, listening to Radio Lincolnshire. "Jim Bentley has kept Morecambe in the League for seven years. He knows how to do it. No disrespect to Morecambe but staying in the League is what they are aiming at, but they know how to battle for survival. In this league, anyone can beat anyone, so Lincoln will know they need to battle today." Also spoke positively about Kev.

Watching, listening fro Gdansk, all loud and clear

[AndyReifman]

Only able to watch the first half as we're going to look at houses during the second. Blame the missus on that decision.

[dannymorc1]

Listening, loud and clear in sunny Nerja. If we show the same spirit and compete as we did on Tuesday we should get at least a point. come on you Morecambe REDS.

[paschahound]

Poor defending. Can't defend like that against the top side.

[Keith]

Cranston mistake gave them loads of space. Finished well.

[AndyReifman]

That shot was basically the exact same chance they got for the first goal, need to cut that out.

[Keith]

We should be beating sides like Lincoln!

[Keith]

Woeville currently winning while Pork Vale are losing. A few 'six pointers' today.

[Westgate Wanderer]

As usual the right singer gets actress of space to control and then score! Only seen that happen every week! Outclassed so far, showing very little imagination. Big boot upfield and their big defenders head it clear. Think Lincoln can step out up and score another when they like.

[Keith]

As usual the right singer gets actress of space to control...

As usual? That sounds bizarre!

To be fair... auto-correct accepted... the right winger only got close to the ball because of Cranston's error.

[Westgate Wanderer]

The singer and the actress might be more entertaining

[Westgate Wanderer]

Lincoln, the new Stevenage?

Crawley 1-1 Macclesfield

Totally outclassed but what a shocking group of officials! The refs ass near the berlin wall has worse eyesight than Mr Magoo

The commentary team saying that he didn't have an impact on the game, but I think he did, because they got away with fouling us all match. Whenever we got any kind of momentum, they'd shove us, or pull us and get away with it. If he'd clamped down on it right at the start, who knows how it may have been different? Bennett was fouled every time the ball went near him. If they were shoved or pulled, they fell over, making the ref make a decision, which was always in their favour. I hate to see it, but if everyone else is gaining an advantage, then we need to learn how to do it too. On one occasion, Mills was fouled three times, nothing given, then gave the lad who was fouling him a nudge, their lad went over, free kick to Lincoln. The previous three fouls were ignored.

Very weak officials. Lincoln were better than us and quicker to the second ball for the full 90 minutes. How their keeper made that save, I don't know?

[Andy D]

Felt sorry for Richie Bennett upfront on his own.

At Home with a 6 point cushion we should have gambled and attacked them.

[glagys]

Ref was a joke, blew hie whistle to call players over and they just ignored him, he had to walk to them ( our player included)
They scored the second, player ran to their support,player got mobbed by them, I thought that was a bookable offence,he did nothing,
He should be back in non-league,although I think that's harsh on non-league

[Ispyshrimp]

Thought officials had a terrible game TBH, Worst I've seen for a while.

Some silly mistakes I thought cost us dearly however plenty of fouls went unpunished and if so against us and also what happened to the rule of players going off the field when down and received treatment?
Lincoln player edge of our box went down, received treatment but didn't see him leave the field?

Akinde had an elbow on Old I think old early on and received nowt for his efforts,

Also wasn't Brendon Rodgers @ Celtic kicking off after Scott Brown over celebrating with fans and received a yellow card.

Didnt think we were at out best but dont think we deserved the 2 nil score line IMO but need to be tougher against physical teams like them

[al1]

So we are in double figures again for home defeats in the league!

[fulwoodshrimp]

The officials were awful. The referee didn't seem to have any clue about fair or unfair challenges. Today's referee shouldn't be anywhere near to refereeing in the football league. He seemed parks league standard at best. I also thought Cranston was very poor today.

Might just be me, but I don’t agree we were outclassed. Lincoln were too good for us today, but if that game represents the divide between top of the league, and relegation battlers, it isn’t so big.

[Andy D]

Yes, all our best football is played away from home.
