For doing what we did last season, although nowhere near as emphatically. I have a soft spot for Donny as they are one of my local league clubs, a mere 60 miles away

    I was watching the pen, and then thinking, surely the Donny goal was offside?
    If Ricardo's was for us yesterday, then i'm sure Donnys goal was.

    Wasn't too fussed about the prospect of playing Doncaster at first, but the drama in that game is near enough impossible to top. Beyond fairytale finishes as far as Football is concerned.

    Triple cheers for the owner of Mansfield Town: He has a very naughty looking Mrs as the club chairperson, his team has just escaped the clutches of the black hole a k a the conference and his insurance company sponsors the shirts of Doncaster Rovers.
    Doncaster Rovers is a nice club in a much abused but underrated town playing in a nice stadium and as Grimsbyaddick says, right on us Lincs boys doorstep, lucky that doorstep is very wide.
    AND .. dead easy to get to from London, fast trains all the way

    it was Oh Dear Deanoooooo .. the 'new' manager is Brian Flynn, another reason for the Welsh to be cheerful.

    Reckon we'll have a few up there next season as we've only played them away on a Tuesday at their new ground I believe.

    Yeah, an Andy Gray looping header for 1-0. Possibly the worst win I've seen.

    When Elliot saved a penalty? Awful, awful game of football.

    Yeah that's the one, County fans probably still wondering how they didn't get something.

    I'm glad Donny won the title as they seem a decent club, but I was a tiny bit disappointed as Brentford would have been brilliant for the terraces and a pub on each corner of the ground.

    Reading between the lines, he could be on his way even after managing the side to promotion. John Ryan, the Donny owner, is a very ambitious man. He made his money through a chain of cosmetic surgery/enhanced body part clinics and is always looking for 'bigger and better things'

    I'd like a bigger and better thing...do you think he does a Thursday discount for pensioners?

    Have to say the standard of teams coming up from that league this season is very poor, can see bournemouth doing alright but doncaster and the rest of the teams in the play offs are all pretty poor.

    Actually league 1 as a whole has been pretty poor, god only knows how sheffield united managed to get a play off spot. Such an awful team.

    Was a truly awful game, after which I think, Pardew told the press it was our game plan to keep giving the ball away!
    Really pleased for Rovers - our lasses family are all season ticket holders so the games next season have that bit of extra spice!
