Harrogate Town 1 Oxford City 0

It doesn't look like he has kicked on.  When it comes to Lenighan, he thinks he is a lot better than what he actually is and that he is too good for us. His petulant reaction against being subbed at railway proved that.

I know we have some injuries, but if the 11 that played yesterday are compared to a typical 1st 11 of last season, are they really any better? If not, why should we finish any higher than last year?

Let's put this into perspective. We beat Oxford, but it will count for absolutely nothing if we don't win our next few games and go on a run. There will be certainly be tougher contests this season. And we got lucky yesterday.

This may be seen as negative, but I'm realistic. This result needs to be built on.

I've skipped the last few pages and it still the same stuff going on.

Or you could try and steer the thread back on topic by minding your own business and posting some actual views on the subject.

Seems to be a number of people on here who's only contribution to this forum is to stick their beaks in. Hardly anyone actually has anything to say or add to the debate about Town. This is one of the strangest football forums I've ever seen. It's all just petty point scoring. Myself and TS get accused of ridiculous things like wanting Town to lose or having an anti-weaver agenda but now that quite a few more have nailed their colours to the same mast as us perhaps it's time for some proper discussion on the topic instead of just having a pop and slinging accusations at us. The pattern on here hasn't gone unnoticed. Somebody criticises the manager or suggests it might be time for a change, this is then met with childish and simple responses like "ooh you're just haters" or "Believe me, Town will turn things round, you'll just have to wait and see" and then when myself or Neil, TS, Paul, RR or Trev counter that with some actual evidence and back up our arguments with valid points it's met with this "You're just a negative nelly, Oooh some people seem happy when we lose, you all go quiet when we win" type nonsense. When in fact the opposite is true, some posters only come on here when we win and they clearly only do that just to be smug with their one line posts usually along the lines of "Oooh it's a bit quiet on here tonight" and "Sack the manager? You're having a laugh". It would be great if one of those Weaver fanboys actually came on here after we've lost and made a really strong case, using facts and counter arguments as to why Town should stick with Simon and why one day we'll be successful under him, other than just gut feeling and blind faith bluster. Trouble is whenever I ask for this, it's not forthcoming, everyone does a runner, presumably because it is nigh on impossible to make a credible argument for carrying on much longer with the current manager.

I know what will happen though. Simon will get some much needed results, buy himself some more time, then the laughing Larrys will return briefly, full of it and feeling they've been proven right, they will once again start to believe and then bang! We'll crash and burn again. Then in the summer 15 players will leave (all being slagged off as they go) and 15 new "saviours" will be proclaimed on here and off we go again. How do I know this will happen? Because it's what always happens.

We win, you come on with a crappy one liner. Nowhere to be seen for weeks, when the sh1t hits the fan.

Just an observation.

Seriously you are one tedious mofo. Do you expect we'll all come on here jumping through hoops and worshipping at the Weaver altar after a nothing much 1-0 against a run of the mill outfit? There's really little to add to what's already been said. We all know where each other stands. If we go on a 15 match unbeaten run or we have yet another rotten slump then perhaps it will be worth reopening the debate and starting the arguments again. But until then, there's nowt worth adding.

As I said the other day:
