I'm gonnna second it then.

Ha ha. Had to be said but alas we'll have to wait along time to say it. If we get promoted by one point, then we can look back at Captain fantastic late winner!!
-
The only downer of another positive display was TLT letting their gol in, looked a very save-able shot to me on the numerous watches I’ve seen. Some team spirit to bring it deservedly back.
-
Swerved viciously !
-
Great stuff, sounds like a deserved result as well.
-
Yes but to be a true Mansfield Moment we have to come from behind with a brace from one player
Set up by TLT, and step forward Owen Bailey, the new Greg Blundell :lol: :lol: :scarf: :scarf:
-
It's great that a whole new generation gets to feel what it's like to win at Mansfield.
Wets the appetite for a couple more?

Hope this link works....magical.

What did your guide dog think?

Coming up all I wanted was for us to give it everything and pick up some local derby wins along the way.
What a start!
-
34 points to go!

It's only a shame Liam Lawrence wasn't there so we could rub his nose in it.
-
Should have saved the goal IMO however what a turnaround after their goal
-
Reminds of the FA cup game too when we equalised in the last minute and all our fans spilled onto the pitch, aside from me who got thrown out
-
We’ve properly embarrassed ourselves against them in recent years, so today was a good day.
-
O captain my captain...seize the day!
-
The end of the Mach felt like a game in the last month of the season, not week 2. Even the way the players wanted to soak it in.
-
Great to see our team is fitter than the opposition

Were you at the game? If so did you have a blindfold on? Haha that shot was a peach! A lot could be said about the build up but that was a cracking strike from there lad
-
No, watched it live with the luxury of multiple playbacks and different angles! Good shot - yes. Should’ve saved it? Almost certainly. From distance chest high and no need to dive.

It nearly broke the f*cking net.

It’s just my opinion, I was disappointed in it! I have a feeling if TSL Jones … had been in net a different view may be had on here.
I don’t want to distract from another great overall performance and 3 points - if you’re happy he did all he could, that’s fine with me.
-
Swerved viciously !
Have t seen a replay, but it looked like it was a huge deflection in real time.

The wind at that end of the ground was terrible the ball moved all over the place and boy did he hit it with some power

This ‘ Mansfield Moment ‘ was the moment the new players must have felt the connection with the fans that has been built up during our Champions’ moments, and will have helped them feel part of the club culture and connection with fans .
-
Maybe it was this:
It was the first league match Rovers have won after going behind since the 4-1 win at Colchester the season before last (April 2024).
-
That is a deceptive piece of data and inappropriate to this squad who i do see as a being a group of players that let their heads drop !

I was expecting someone to say “Jones would have saved it”.
TLT is exceptional in that he sprints around his area and distributes the ball faster than any other modern GK I have seen. This is surely a great asset because modern players are used to GKs moving around in slow motion, although perhaps the new rule might lead to a bit more haste - if it’s properly enforced.

We should sing Mansfield Moments to the tune of Magic Moments if we get another chance :lol: :lol: :scarf: :scarf:

OK, just for fun -
Mansfield Moments when the reds are playing
You’ll never forget the smell of the sweat when the corner was taken
Mols delivered it in and Bailey was in the limbs were forsaken
-
Pardon the ignorance, but for those of us that are too young/don't know, what is the 'Mansfield moment ' that you're all refering to?
-
If my memory serves me right it was 2003/04 season 1 nil down and fortune west scored the winner the celebration was magical and entire stand went metal ,I might also be wrong
-
It was Blundell who got 2 for us I believe buddy.

Here's the season review. In context, we had just been promoted back into the league after 4 long tortuous seasons in the Conference, thanks to Sir Francis Tierney at Stoke. The first magic moment of the post Richardson era under JR.
We started League Two better than anyone could ever imagined and whilst we were in and around the top 4, as a football fan, we never quite believe we can keep it up, with Hull City the red hot favourites to win the league and Mansfield, highly fancied to join them.
Then came the day, when all that anxiety of looking at the league table over and over again, turned into belief that no one was going to stop us. All of that emotion was wrapped up in that celebration when Greg Blundell hit the back of the net at Mansfield, beating our nearest rival on their turf and in the league table.
-
Thanks for replies, now I understand. Funnily enough, my first memory of Rovers was being outside the mansion house seeing the team with the trophy on the balcony at the end of that season!
-
I was there and remember giving it to Liam Lawrence who turned us down to stay at the stags ! He was one hell of a player, but didn’t stop me at every opportunity reminding him of what he could have been a part of ! Obviously in some very delicate language.
-
It was the moment at which we, collectively, realised the Rovers were going to do it. Win the league. Beat 'Peter Taylor's Hull City' to the title. Mansfield were a pretty decent side. Beating them at their place, watching Gregg Blundell put them away, gave every one of us belief. And it's that which matters in the end.
It's early to be making those judgements for this season as a whole, but boy it's a good start!

If we've declared the Mansfield Moment already, at least it gives us a good while to sort the plane and banner out.
