Crawley Town - the underdog you want to kick

As a Lincon City fan, Boston United (a local rival of ours) are never going to be my favourite club.  However, sometimes even your local rivals deserve a bit of your sympathy, and a few years ago poor old Boston were in need of some.  They were relegated from the Football League, and then suffered the ignominious fate of being penalised for financial problems by being relegated a further two leagues in the next two seasons.

The reason that I felt sympathy for Boston fans then, was that their meteoric fall (is that an oxymoron?) was the result of cheating by one man - their own manager Steve Evans.  Evans was found guilty by the FA of paying players more than their contracted wage, breaking competition rules and basically winning promotion illegally while avoiding a massive tax bill.  When the case came to court, he was even then found guilty of bribing a witness.  Even in the face of such blatant cheating, Boston's promotion was allowed to stand and Evans only given a one year suspended sentence - way to get tough on the cheats, huh?

So what has this got to do with Crawley Town, who have just been give a dream FA cup tie away at Manchester United?  Well, Evans is now their manager and he still seems to be rubbing all and sundry up the wrong way as they buy their way into the Football League.  Usually, in a tie like this the whole country would be supporting the little guy, but I know I'm not alone in hoping that Crawley get absolutely humiliated.  Just ask Torquay fans about the cheating, whingeing and playacting that went on in the last round.  Sure Crawley probably deserved to win, but there are ways to win and still be popular.

Travels with Li Dongni – Fethiye, Turkey (September 2010)

Tombs and Turtles in Turkey

Whilst travelling in Turkey (the same trip that saw our hot air balloon trip), we spent a few days in the southern town of Fethiye.  Fethiye is a little harbour town which, although having a few too many sunburned European tourists for our liking, did have a number of things to recommend it.  One was the boat trip we went on out into the clear and beautiful Mediterranean, another our climb up to the hills above the town to visit the ramshackle Crusader castle and the Lycian rock tombs.

The highlight of Fethiye for me, however, was the fortunate chance meeting we had in the harbour – with a pair of wild loggerhead turtles.  We had read before we got there that turtles came ashore to lay eggs on nearby beaches, but we didn’t have any particular expectations of seeing any ourselves.  However, as we were walking by the edge of the harbour one afternoon we noticed a flicker in the water that caught our eye.  It wasn’t immediately obvious what had caused the surface to be disturbed, and we got a glimpse of something that looked like a flipper, but it was difficult to tell.  As we looked harder we noticed a pair of turtles swimming around, but they soon vanished from sight.  We thought that this briefest of glimpses was all we were to get, but as we began walking again, we realised that one of the turtles was swimming level with us along the harbour wall, occasionally coming up to the surface for air.  We kept walking with him (or her) alongside us for a good 15 minutes until he finally decided he’d had enough and swam away.  It was a brief and chance encounter, but I’m certain it’s one that the turtle will remember forever...

Lincoln City v Port Vale, 29 January 2011

Venue: Sincil Bank, Lincoln

Attendance: 3,370

Final score: 1-0

Lincoln’s phoenix-like rise from the ashes in the last week continued yesterday afternoon at a cold Sincil Bank.  The match was under threat after a freezing night, and a pitch inspection was called for 12 o’clock, which was subsequently delayed until 12.30 and then 2 o’clock.  Eventually the match was deemed playable, no doubt to the relief of the away fans who must have feared a wasted journey.

The Imps lineup was unchanged from the win away at Cheltenham in midweek, against a Vale side which had started the season in great form, but has fallen away since Christmas after replacing manager Micky Adams with Jim Gannon.

The first half was a cagey and rather dull affair, with Port Vale seemingly looking to play for a point.  Lincoln had the majority of the possession but with few real chances created by either side.  One good chance was denied to Delroy Facey when a ball through clipped a defender’s leg, yet the linesman’s flag still went up, leaving Facey frustrated to be denied his chance of going clean through on the keeper.

The halftime whistle went with the game scoreless, and the fans having few memorable moments to look back on.

The second half continued in the same vane as the first, with both teams scrapping but neither side able to carve out real chances.  It was beginning to look as if both teams would settle for a point, but any goal would be a winning one.

On about 70 minutes, a good Lincoln move created the best chance of the match so far, as Facey held the ball up for O’Keefe whose low drive smacked against the post.

The deciding goal finally came for City on 87 minutes, as result of the only inspired piece of attacking play in the match.  Good interplay between Jarrett, Howell and O’Keefe saw the ball provided for Grimes, who drilled a shot past the keeper and into the far top corner.  It was a winner that City had just about deserved, but one which hadn’t looked like coming.

The win provided the Imps’ survival prospects with another huge boost, as they have gone from 3 points adrift at the bottom to 19^th place and 3 points clear of Hereford in 23^rd in just a week.  Although there are still many matches to be played this season, the renewed confidence of the Imps continues to inspire belief that they can continue to pull away from the bottom.

Cheltenham Town v Lincoln City, 25 January 2011

Venue: Whaddon Road,Cheltenham

Attendance:2,292

Final score:1-2

The confidence gained from Saturday’s vital victory over Stockport Town was plain to see even before this match kicked off.  Players and management have been sounding like a weight was lifted when talking to the media in midweek.  The trip to Cheltenham was a more difficult test than Stockport, however.  Despite being on a poor run of form in the last few games, Cheltenham sat in 9^th place, just 4 points off the automatic promotion places.

The City lineup was virtually unchanged, with the introduction of Scott Kerr for the injured Mustapha Carayol the only alteration to the starting lineup.  Keeper Joe Anyon took a place on the bench after recovering from an ankle injury.

The game started quietly, with the two teams evenly matched.  Grimes looked particularly lively for City after his hattrick on Saturday and hit the top of the bar with a header on 2 minutes.  It was City who took an early lead, when on 8 minutes a City corner was lofted to the far post, where Danny Hone headed back across goal.  Stephen Hunt was on hand to poke the ball over the line from close range.

Conceding early spurred Cheltenham onto greater effort, and they immediately began pressing the City goal, but were not able to make the pressure count and City began to work their way back into the match.

From virtually out of nowhere, City extended their lead when, on 21 minutes, O’Keefe blasted home from wide on the left.  It was a sublime finish, one of a growing number of clinical finishes from City in recent weeks, and evidence of the growing confidence flowing through the side.

As has often been the case recently, however, the defensive frailties showed and City allowed Cheltenham a lifeline – poor marking allowing Artus to slip in and finish a cross to pull the score back to 2-1 on 30 minutes.  It was the first time that Cheltenham had seriously threatened the Imps’ goal, and it had an obvious impact on City’s confidence.  Cheltenham came close on a number of occasions, but City were able to hold out until half time to take their lead into the interval.  The news that Hereford were winning 1-0 increased the pressure on the Imps to get something from the game.

The second half began brightly for Cheltenham, who had obviously been fired up at half time.  They were playing the ball more quickly, using the wings more in an attempt to pull the City defence out of position, and putting lots of crosses into the box.

City were still dangerous on the break however, especially through the work rate of Grimes and the tireless Facey.  Lincoln thought they had extended their lead on the hour mark when a Grimes shot was cleared off the line.  The fans behind the goal thought the ball was in, but the linesman kept his flag down and Cheltenham survived.

The incident sparked a series of incidents at both ends in quick succession.  Cheltenham hit the inside of the City post, but the ball hit the shins of the advancing striker and bounced wide when it would have been easier to score.  City then broke away themselves and Grimes put the ball into the net from close range, only to see it disallowed, and Grimes receive a yellow card for dissent.

The match was on a knife edge, and it seemed that either side could score in the final 15 minutes.  As time ticked on, Cheltenham turned up the pressure, and City withdrew deeper and deeper to defend their lead and hope to hit on the break.  To bolster the defence, Grimes was replaced by Broughton (used more for his heading ability than to act as a striker), and Clapham replaced McCallum.  Five minutes of injury time were played, but the City defence held firm for a vital second win in succession.

The win lifts City off the bottom of the table, but although the bottom of the league is still very close, City have given themselves a good chance of putting a run together and starting to move away, leaving others to fight for survival.

Stockport County v Lincoln City, 22 January 2011

Venue: Edgeley Park, Stockport

Attendance:4,348

Final score:3-4

A dramatic afternoon at Edgeley Park this afternoon between two of the league’s bottom teams saw a tense 7 goal thriller and the Imps gain a vital 3 points.  Even though they still sit bottom of the table, the light at the end of the tunnel is shining a little bit brighter.  The thought of how the table would look had the Imps drawn or lost this afternoon is one that Imps fans can fortunately now put out of their minds.

Imps manager Steve Tilson had strengthened his squad in midweek with the arrival on loan of Notts County defender Stephen Hunt and Sunderland goalkeeper Trevor Carson, both of whom went straight into the starting 11 in an attempt to boost the Imps’ leaky defence.  The inclusion of Carson was due to an injury to regular keeper Joe Anyon, but because of recent shaky performances some Imps fans will be forgiven for feeling a slight relief that a new keeper was taking his place for such an important game.  Scott Kerr once again began on the bench, joined by usual starter Albert Jarrett.

The match started in promising fashion for City with the in-form Grimes adding to his recent streak of long range finishes with a 25 yard lob over keeper Glennon.  It was the perfect start for the Imps, but far from the end of the goalmouth action.

It was a lively opening period, with both keepers tested and both sides desperate to claim the initiative.  City were forced into an early change, however, when Carayol limped off to be replaced by Kerr.

Stockport brought the match level on 25 minutes when Tansey’s freekick was parried by Carson, but only as far as Griffin who poached the equalizer.

The remainder of the first half was a tight affair, with neither side able to seize the initiative until injury time.  A freekick was lofted to the far post, where Danny Hone won his header to put the ball back into the box where his central defensive partner Adam Watts was waiting to stab home from close range.  City went into the half time break the more buoyant side with a 2-1 lead.

The second half started with a long injury break to Stockport’s Tansey, who was ultimately able to continue.  Despite this, the half began quietly, with little goalmouth action.  This changed on the hour mark though as Lincoln extended their lead.  McCallum was put through one on one with Glennon, but showed good awareness to slide the ball to Grimes, who slotted home his second of the afternoon.

Imps fans began to breathe easier, and the prospect of a vital win now seemed a distinct possibility.  Such thoughts were soon dispelled though as City’s defensive frailties were once again exposed just 3 minutes later.  Poole was allowed to break free in the box to fire past Carson to make it 3-2.  A match that had seemed in City’s control now seemed liable to swing the other way.

Just 2 minutes after the restart the net would bulge again, in the form of Grimes claiming his first hattrick for the Imps after picking up on a loose ball after Howell’s shot was saved by Glennon.  It was the first hattrick by an Imps player since Jamie Forrester in 2006, and proof of just how vital Grimes will be to the Imp’s survival prospects this season.

The match once again opened up, with the Imps trying to get a fifth to finish the game off, and Stockport desperate to get back in contention.  When a drive from Demontagnac clipped off Watts to wrongfoot Carson, the match had its seventh and final goal as Stockport pulled it back to 4-3.  Once again the Imps had let the two goal lead slip, and once again Imps fans feared the worst.

City had chances to extend their lead again at the death, through the bustling Delroy Facey.  First he had a goal disallowed for offside, then fired agonizingly wide.  The final whistle brought relief for City fans though, as the vital and deserved three points were claimed.

The result still leaves City at the foot of the table, but now level with Hereford on points and only two away from Stockport with games in hand on all of the teams above them, including a huge 5 games in hand over Stockport.  With Hereford selling their talismanic striker Manset in midweek and City picking up this vital and morale-boosting win, the race to avoid the drop seems far from over this evening.

Guns don't kill people, deluded civilians do

In the aftermath of last week’s terrible events in Tucson, Arizona, discussion inevitably turns once more to the issue of gun control in the USA.  America once more has to face the reality of another group of innocent people being gunned down by somebody with mental problems, a grudge against society and, most importantly, easy access to serious firepower.

As someone born and raised in a country with extremely tight gun control, the situation in America seems close to madness to me.  I just can’t figure out what western frontier town fantasy some people seem to be living in.

With regard to the Tucson incident, two particular quotes gave me cause to bang my head against the table in amazement.  The first was from Charles Hellar, a founder of the Arizona Defence League, who said,

‘This incident shows very, very clearly why it is so vital to

have more people armed and ready and prepared to

defend themselves and others.’

But he’s not alone - sadly far from it.  Yosemite Hellar’s point of view was also shared by one Jim Hague, who apparently works as a nurse (though we assume not one that has to deal with gunshot wounds),

‘If a responsible person carrying a gun had been there,

 he could possibly have helped control the situation’

Helped control the situation?  By blasting away at the person blasting away at the crowd?  I can’t be the only person who thinks that that is an insane point of view?  I’ve heard of fighting fire with fire, but the situation where one or more members of the crowd had started shooting as well would surely have done little to ease the situation, and probably would have ended up with even more innocent lives wasted.  The image of a heroic member of the crowd pulling out a gun and casually putting a single bullet into the leg of the bad guy must give these guys wet dreams, but it’s an image that surely only belongs in a Hollywood movie.  Is the child killed by one of the 'responsible person's' stray bullets any less dead? Should they avoid criminal charges as they were nobly acting in defence of the other people?

And who counts as a responsible person anyway?  I’m not sure I’d count somebody walking the streets packing a hand cannon as a particularly stable personality – at the very least they would appear to be paranoid in the extreme, and most likely have delusions of firearms proficiency that the American laws do not require them to possess.

Do they have some utopian vision of society where everyone walks around with a gun on their hip, in the belief that (in some scaled-down nuclear deterrent kind of way) nobody would therefore ever attack anybody else?  I was always brought up to believe that in a civilised society we elect governments to do certain things for us – things such as fight our wars and deal with our criminals.  This stops us having to take out personal vendettas on those who may have wronged us, and lets us live our lives, for the most part, in peace and without the fear of being shot by a random stranger.  People such as Messers Heller and Hague, however, seem to believe in vigilante justice.  Why call the police when I can call on the crazy old guy next door with a sniper rifle?  The really funny thing is that these same people would probably tell you that we should all be more scared of the threat posed by the growth of China...

UPDATE - 18TH JANUARY 2011

What a strange coincidence that a related story would come to my attention just a day after posting the above thoughts.  A news item today initially reported a shooting at a High School in Los Angeles.  It was later amended, however, to a much stranger story.  It seems that two school pupils were indeed critically injured in a school firearms incident, but it was not the deranged gunman scenario you might imagine.  Instead, it seems, a pupil had a loaded gun in his rucksack, which went off accidentally when he dropped it.  A freak accident to be sure, but I wonder how Heller and Hague would respond to such an accident, as presumably the child taking a loaded gun to school was one of their 'responsible people' and just exercising his constitutional rights.  Perhaps he wanted to save his fellow pupils from deranged attackers?  Perhaps the two wounded kids are just collatoral damage - the price to be paid for the greater good.

Chinese lady takes off pants, beats up police officer

Of all the stories to circulate on the Chinese internet recently, this one reported on Chinasmack is definitely the funniest.

Basically a 55 year old woman called Chu, who works in Nanjing as an illegal pedicab driver (her personal story is not a happy one up to this point be fair), was carrying three passengers when she ran a red light.  She bumped into a guy, who duly demanded compensation.  When she only offered him 2RMB (about 20p), he called the police.

The police showed up quickly and it seems that Chu panicked, fearing that her pedicab would be taken away and her income lost.  So she did what any sane person would do in this situation – she took off her jeans and started hitting the policeman around the head.  This scene would have been funny enough to witness on its own, but two extra elements now appear.  Firstly, have a look at the picture and notice that she not only took of her pants, she did it on a day she was going commando.  Secondly, the poor policeman took such a thud to the head that he was knocked out (though perhaps he took a dive out of embarrassment or sheer horror at the sight in front of him?)

Once she had been arrested she calmed down and expressed regret for her actions.  Her ‘husband’ (a 70 year old guy she’s living with), gave the great quote ‘She’s a stubborn person, rather surly, and quite fierce! Over the years, she’s rarely returned home.’  She was sentenced to 8 months in jail.

Lincoln City v Wycombe Wanderers, 15 January 2011

Venue: Sincil Bank, Lincoln

Attendance: 2,890

Final score: 1-2

 

Lincoln City’s league games in 2011 are beginning to follow a depressingly familiar pattern – a close game in which the Imps show a decent amount of effort and create chances, only to be scuppered by amateurish defensive errors.  All three league games in 2011 have finished in a 2-1 reverses.

Today’s match, on a windy and surprisingly chilly Saturday afternoon, was of course overshadowed by the events of the week, and the match was preceded by an impeccably observed minute’s silence in memory of Richard Butcher.  As the afternoon would pan out, I think the greatest testament to Butcher is how much the Imps would love to have a midfielder with his drive, determination and skill in the side at the moment.  The Imps’ cause was not helped by an injury to Mustafa Carayol which kept him out of the side, and the midweek illness of Scott Kerr which only saw him able to take a place on the bench.  New loan signing Julian Kelly took his place in the starting lineup.  For Wycombe, the name on the teamsheet of interest to Lincoln fans was that of Gareth Ainsworth – the Imps legend returning to Sincil Bank for his first competitive match since 1997.

The game began brightly for City, with Albert Jarrett firing a dangerous cross into the box on 5 minutes, which unfortunately no-one could get onto the end of.  Almost immediately after, Grimes found himself one on one with the keeper, albeit at an angle, but the keeper managed to smother the shot.

On 13 minutes, Grimes was again presented with a golden chance to give the Imps the lead, when he burst free of the defence.  He lifted his shot over the advancing Nikki Bull, but unfortunately also over the bar.  Lincoln really should have taken the lead, and the fear of being punished on the break by Wycombe, who were using Ainsworth to good effect, was beginning to worry Imps fans.

However, the deadlock was broken on 17 minutes.  A ball to Grimes on the edge of the box saw the young striker control it well and turn it inside to the onrushing McCallum who struck a sweet half volley into the far corner without breaking stride.  It was a wonderful strike from a player who has done little else to impress during his time at City.

The Imps’ defensive failings would once again come back to haunt them, however.  As Imps fans were mumbling clichés about the 5 minutes after you score being the most dangerous, Wycombe got their equalizer in comic circumstances.  A freekick from 25 yards by Sandell was hit straight at Anyon, who seemed to misjudge the flight of the ball, was wrongfooted, and allowed a weak shot to bounce pathetically past him into the back of the net.  It was the first time he had been tested, and it was a test he spectacularly failed.

The goal brought a flurry of confidence from Wycombe, and they began to press the Imps’ goal.  On 23 minutes Anyon’s crossbar was rattled from range, and the keeper was looking shaken by his earlier error.  Imps’ fans keeping an eye on the other games being played in the league would have been dismayed to see that Hereford were leading 2-0 at Stockport at this point, leaving the Imps bottom of the league.

It appeared that the situation would get worse for city when Kevin Betsy burst into the box on 33 minutes.  While trying to maneuver for the space to get a shot away, he was bundled over by Swaibu and the referee duly awarded Wycombe a penalty.  Betsy himself was injured in what had not seemed a fierce challenge and had to be stretchered off.  Anyon had been presented with a chance to redeem himself, and it was a chance he took.  Strevons hit a weak shot but Anyon guessed the right way and turned it around the post.

Lincoln’s luck was not to last long though, as a corner given away by Danny Hone was punished.  The corner was scrambled away, but only as far as Sandell, who headed home his and Wycombe’s second goal of the afternoon.  Lincoln’s shaky defence once again looked to undo the good work of the forwards.

The Imps pushed forwards again in the 4 minutes of injury time, but to no avail and the half ended with Wycombe leading 2-1.

The second half started with neither side able to take control.  Lincoln had the majority of the play but were not able to create any real chances, while Wycombe were content to sit back and make use of Ainsworth’s lethally accurate balls over the top to try and sting the Imps on the break.  Lincoln almost managed to sneak their way back into the game on 60 minutes when hesitation in the Wycombe defense allowed Jarrett to sneak in and stab a shot goalwards, but Bull was able to stop it at close range.  Almost straight after, a long range strike from O’Keefe nearly caught Bull out of position.  The Imps were beginning to show signs of life.

On the 62 second minute, City were forced to make a substitution, when a clash of heads saw Paul Green have to go off with a head injury, to be replaced by Clapham.  On 75 minutes, Jarrett was also replaced by Hutchinson.

Wycombe nearly extended their lead soon after but Anyon first made a good save from a header, then palmed a fierce shot around the post.  The Imp’s number 1 had by now undeniably redeemed his earlier error.

The only other real incident of note was the substitution of Gareth Ainsworth, to a rousing chorus from the Imps faithful.  Ainsworth himself obviously appreciated the sendoff, and took the time to applaud each of the Lincoln stands in turn.

The Imps were unable to create any more chances, and a sub-par second half ended with yet another defeat for the Imps.  It was another game in which they could look back on missed chances and schoolboy defensive errors, but such issues simply have to be eradicated if the Imps are to have any chance of avoiding the dreaded and fatal drop into the non-leagues.
