Absent earning a crust but following on the beeb when I could. 1-0 is one of the worst when you're not there but I had to smile at the four corners to us in injury time.
As a Roman Catholic i avoid the phrase "nailed on"... but it was... Just as well, given that the (pretty decent) ref let most things go and was very reluctant to blow for anything..!

Narrow win. The unofficial ctfc mustve had far more possession and goal scoring oppirtunities but final ball was their let down. Tyrone a shaddow of his former self. Good to see Young back. Connolly as always a pass or tackle away from a clanger. Payne showing moments of prem league class. Palmer far better striker than Tyrone and he wasnt even giving it 100%. Could the BW stand get behind the team more than a continuous chant of "w@nker', good chants of "Red army" from the west stand. Not a spectacular game but we did enough. If we went up we would be hammered with our degending today by better quality teams. Cant complain though, dare I say the real ctfc are on a roll...
PS did the East stand give any thought to their "ctfc" sing song?
So wonder if anyone has anything positive to say about our last three results or have the usual culprits crawled back into their dark cold and depressing shells...๐๐
Palmer was very fired up today, got frustrated very easily which was a bit unnerving but heโs gotten us 3 points yet again๐good game and good crowd felt a bit bad for Poleon just wouldnโt go in for him.
Perhaps Poleon could use two feet? Two chances he had just needed the application of his left foot, but he squirmed into an awkward position to use his right.
I think his workrate has improved, needs more confidence to get more goals? Oh, and to use both feet.
We now know why he never leaps for the ball - his heading ability is worse than mine!
I loved the short corner routine in added time. Hilarious ๐ I think we killed two of the six minutes with that. Cheltenham were so naive, and Palmer knew it!!
It was 4 corners we won from that wasn't it?
Indeed it was four....and to top it all he managed two rebounds off the one player.....and drew the same player in twice without actually kicking the ball ๐
Had I been their gaffer, after the 2nd corner, I would have only sent one man out (as opposed to four), as we had no one in the box!! Proper Sunday league defending...almost pissing myself tbh

Have to agree here R,R,R I was in East stand first half and support was ok...and yeah, the C T F C chant was amusing.
Second half in the Bruce Winfield(central). The support in here is shocking. Full of 14 year old kids with mouths like sewers. At least when we were in the same position at that age there was a little thought to our provocative verbal abuse. I thought it summed up that generation completely Lazy and thoughtless.
Rant over.

Was it a penalty? Honest now.

Yes, Jim
Definitely a pen, the defender moved his hand to stop the ball.
