        what gets me is the assumption that if you're 'anti-Roeder' one must immediately be 'pro-G (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 9, 23:24:38
        
        Yet your angle with Martin, is pro Gunn (NCFC) - pants, Feb 9, 23:37:54
        
        no, it's anti-Roeder pure and simple (n/m) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 9, 23:46:42
        
        Yeah, this started as anti Roeder (NCFC) - pants, Feb 9, 23:56:01
        
        Very true. Still - it's all in the past now, and no need for snide comments either way (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Feb 9, 23:25:42

      - the family issues were the reason given for allowing him to return early (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 9, 23:20:03
      - Hard to judge after only 60 minutes spread accross 4 sub appearances (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Feb 9, 23:16:35
        
        I though it was quite easy to judge to be honest (n/m) (NCFC) - KentonCanary, Feb 9, 23:21:42
        
        that's true (NCFC) - Charles21, Feb 9, 23:19:39
    - It is, isn't it. I thought you spent a lot of time castigating Gunn for getting in (NCFC) - Yellalee, Feb 9, 23:13:05
      - You're wrong (NCFC) - pants, Feb 9, 23:21:32
        
        Gunn was shit, so was Roeder (2nd season) (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 9, 23:28:12
        
        No I havent twisted it - I obviously got it wrong. Hence me asking you to correct me. (n/m) (NCFC) - Yellalee, Feb 9, 23:23:31

        Which is why hindsight is severely clouding your thoughts at the moment imo (n/m) (NCFC) - pants, Feb 9, 23:25:48
        
        nope, i said as much at the time this was all going on (NCFC) - Ralf Scrampton, Feb 9, 23:39:03
