"RUMBLED" The reason why Lincoln Don't have a goalkeeper as a substitute

[Colemans Left Hook]

We all saw the Arsenal Lincoln Facup match and how the Lincoln Goalkeeper "appeared" to be injured   HE LAID DOWN ON THE PITCH - AS IF HE DAD TO COME OFF - "PUT THE LIMP ON ETC "and we all  thought Etherington Rovers on loan goalkeeper  would be coming on as a substitute goalkeeper

Due to this "alleged" injury to the goalkeeper the LIncoln players all did their customary run to the Manager - for a drink of water get instructions etc  (in Colemans world this is an AMERICAN Football time out)

The commentator in the Arsenal Lincoln match kept on saying about Lincoln breaking the match down into 10 minute segments (again as per American football)

ANYHOW Farman recovered and did not need to come off
-----------------------
Today we had Lincoln v Forest green on the TV
I only saw the second half of the Lincoln Forest Green match today (yes I wanted FG to win)

In the second half The TV woman did a quick 10 second interview with the Lincoln manager when they were 1-0 down and he mentioned that Lincoln had 17 turnovers in the first half ( is this AMERICAN football terminology or wot)

I didn't know until today that Lincoln NEVER have a substitute goalkeeper on the bench in League Matches --  which is going to PI$$ Etherington off because his chance of getting a game on loan is virtually NIL.

It is pure stupidity not to have a goalkeeper on the bench UNLESS YOU HAVE A "CUNNING PLAN"

We all know Lincoln play a high pressing game and to keep it up for 90 minutes --- breaking the match into sections and having "alleged" "well constructed" time-outs" ( players running to the manager etc ) helps break up the match  SO DO  "alleged" "FICTICIOUS" INJURIES

So wot happened today when Lincoln were winning their goalkeeper suddenly "lies down in his penalty area -- as if he might have to come off

surprise surprise Lincoln don't have a substitute goalkeeper on the bench   IN SUCH A VITAL MATCH -- Lincoln take a long time out drinks huddle with the manager etc -- the  goalkeeper and his "alleged" LIMP recover -- he even takes the goal kick himself (not the smartest move for an injured goalkeeper)  and "totally" by chance this takes the momentum out f the game

As I have said that is now two matches it has looked as if their goalkeeper  might have to come off injured

Logically because Farman seems to be "iinjury prone" (judging by wot we have seen on TV) obviously you would expect Etherington to be on the bench as an insurance policy afraid not so !!

but not so think someone's been "rumbled"   food for thought ??

Talking of substitute goalkeepers The sacked Sutton goalkeeper's stomach never ever "rumbled " 

AND their goalkeeper had a "GENUINE" injury and they had no substitute goalkeeper

never mind "wot comes around goes around "

Not everything is a conspiracy, you know.

[Colemans Left Hook]

Not everything is a conspiracy, you know.

so are you saying there is no mileage in it ??

let's see wot BOBG thinks

funny how Ferguson realised the importance of having a 2nd goalkeeper on the bench for the TV game against Portsmouth and recalled no other than Mr Etherington on the bench

FFS! IT'S ETHERIDGE!

[RoversAlias]

Can I have some of what you're on Coleman? Seems to be great stuff.

[dickos1]

Still don't know what the reason is that you're trying to explain.

They don't have a sub goalie because they can pretend to be injured??
Can't they do that if they have a substitute keeper like?

[DaveDRFC]

I would wager loads of teams in the conference and below where they only get 5 named subs don't bother with a sub keeper.

[Drover]

Neil Warnock did'nt have a keeper on his subs bench.I think its one of those options where it might cost you a point or two once in a blue moon,but it gives you an extra outfield option for all season.Swings and roundabouts.

[BobG]

I think lots of things Coleman. Not all pretty, or intelligent or even interesting. But I enjoy them, mostly, and I do try, quite hard, to make them both coherent and lucid.

Cheers

I'm sure under SOD we didn't have a sub keeper many times.

I was aware pre-match  who  their goalkeeper was with a "low pain threshold" and a very good imagination  and likely to be fouled by "fresh air"

or  a blade of grass   -- as i showed on here 7 years ago he suddenly "fell to the ground having collided with "an oxygen molecule" but made a full recovery

 and to think we play the other half of the "notorious" "Farman-Cowley" double act on Tuesday

I wouldn't for a moment suggest his actions were "pre-planned "    12 out of 10 for imagination though as he "grasped at straws"

when Lincoln had no substitute goalie it was obvious a referee would give the "injured "goalkeeper a lot more time to recover from his "transcient" injury and break play up even more

My mate who’s a Lincoln supporter says it one of Danny Cowley’s favourite tactics, to break the game up into “quarters” so roughly around the 23rd and 67th minutes one of the Colchester players will have a injury that he can’t walk to the sidelines, usually the goalkeeper is one of the players
