Ingham: York City ready for war at Mansfield (From York Press)

Strong words MI. Hope they don't come back to haunt us.
Fully expecting another very close game on Monday with Mansfield using their strenths to the max. Hopefully we can hold our nerve but most importantly the game is remembered for the right reasons - the football- not some off field antics such as we witnessed last Wednesday (thanks to a drunken Ms Still) and at Luton 2 years ago. :)

Booted in the chest, elbowed - that Matt Brown is a thug!
I'm not on Twitter but I assume threatening posts can be investigated by the police - and the appropriate action taken against these football 'fans'.

Sorry I meant 'Green'

The twittered abuse of Michael Ingham started well before Wednesday's game, with him being harangued because City hadn't made enough tickets available for Mansfield fans.

Ingy did point out it had nothing to do with him, but to no avail.

Luella probably feels right at home at Field Mill.

Its not Field Mill now.

They've renamed it 'The Call Girl Account Stadium' or something like that!

Is the floodlighting a kind of dusky red?

There's only one way to really assess her fitness...


Strip!!

I don't understand why the police had to escort one of their players out of the ground when reportedly Mansfield had their own escort to hand.

I suggest you check Matt Green's disciplinary record - hardly a thug! Ingham should have been awarded an oscar, and challinor who should have been booked for olympic style dives.

The Luton away match was shown at The Terrace, O'neils and the supporters club I think.

Yes, Ingham's a great actor - all he needs is some thug's studs in his chest and he falls over every time - have you seen the video?

Couldn't get to the game so I was watching on the telly and Challinor was very clearly pushed off balance, it wasn't a dive but it wasn't enough for a penalty, the reaction from the Mansfield team and fans was ridiculous, he'd hardly hit the ground before you they were going nuts. He didn't appeal and was getting straight up, complete over-reaction!!

The toilets are infact from the same century as 1975.
Do you actually know what century you are in? :)

Dont disagree with 'facts' we are a more physical side but we do play decent football as well. As regards Matt Green you are wrong to suggest he is a thug, one of the fairest/decent players around. Went for the 50/50 ball like any good striker, your keeper was out of the box and went down like a jap sniper had hit him from the York bell tower. Yet jumped up as fine as anything once the booking was delivered. Anyway I am not on here to wind anyone up but I have to say that Michael Ingham certainly contributed to the abuse he received. His behaviour as he left the field at half time could have incited a riot and he was reported to the police who clearly stated his actions were a public disorder offence and they wanted to speak with him. This all surprised me because I have always had a lot of respect for him as he always applauds the away fans after a game. Can I just add that the coin was thrown by an idiot who no-one had ever seen at a game before and should be banned for life, we were appalled. Really looking forward to Monday, we have almost sold out (only 100 tickets left this morning) so should be a cracking atmosphere. Have a safe journey and whoever wins lets hope they stuff Luton at Wembley.

Back to the football I thought we started brightly, much better than in a number of our recent home games. The Ref was at times lenient allowing some physical aspects of the game to the overall benefit of Mansfield, not that Smiths challenge was not reckless but overall we could have finished with 10 & them one or more fewer. Did not see any of the CEO antics just hope she behaves at home.
Both sides really want this I just hope that good football prevails & our players passing, skill & fitness should edge on the day. Shame we cannot be allowed the full capacity in the away end as we could have filled it. Looking very much like Luton in the final which is a shame as they have been on off this season & who needs the aggro though Wembley will certainly benefit with their numbers whoever they play, but it would make me a very happy clapper indeed to gain promotion after our recent history with them.
Cmon City!!!

I'm sure you're probably right on Green but we'll agree to disagree on Michael Ingham. He applauded the stags fans at the half time whistle for the banter as usual. The video shows he took the hit from Matt.
Great crowd there on Monday and hope the winner stuffs Luton!Enjoy!

First half of this post is laughable... but you redeem yourself towards the end.

Ingham headed the ball, Green put his studs in his stomach. This is a good few feet away from the ball, and it was after Ingham had headed it so late and dangerous. It wasn't as if Green had had an age to weigh it up either... oh no, wait a moment.

Given Ingham had been pelted by objects and abused by your support, is it any wonder he did something other than applaud you for his time in front of you?

Monday could prove to be a classic or it'll be a nervous game with few chances. Either way, it'll be a good atmosphere. Luton's win is ominous as they have moved up a gear recently.

Despite the different interpretations we put on things, it's good to hear from a Mansfield fan. Most fans from all clubs are fair-minded and respect their opponents (even Luton I suppose - maybe). It should be a cracking game on Monday, let's hope it's played in the right spirit and that it's a triumph for football.
Like everyone else my nerves are already jangling, but
so long as City get the ball down and do their stuff I have a really good feeling about this. COYR

My hope is that gary Mills will set up the team to beat Mansfield 7-0. All out attack. That way we'll probably win 2-0. At the start of the season he spoke about not worrying who the opposition was and letting them worry about us. He learned that from Cloughie as we all know. It's the guaranteed way to ensure we win two Wembley finals! Mansfield are the Stoke City of the Conference - a bunch of cloggers with a party trick. Please don't set up the team to defend against them. Let them have their throw-in goal, and go and stick a bagful in the other end.

Re Bumstag,
Stats. say Mansfield are the dirtiest and City are the cleanest team in the Conference.
You are a sort of Leeds Utd.
I feel a bit sorry for you really, having to support a bunch of cloggers.
Your no. 11 is a real basket !

It is a contact sport and what happened on Wednesday night was not much different to how Scott Brown tried to split the FGR player Michael Uwezu in two on the Saturday. I didn't hear any one in the main stand critisising Browny, but I would think they were all hoping he stayed on the pitch.

I am sure our lads are quite capable of handling themselves on Monday and dishing out just as much as Mansfield give.

Very keen to obtain 2 adult and 1 child tickets for Monday. Sudden unexpected availability to attend after first missed game of season on Wednesday night. Anyone able to help?

You're right, but equally I thought Brown should have been sent off agaist FGR too (glad he was not!) - I'm all for a spirited performance, but dangerous tackles are rightly punished harshly. And Mansfield seem to have the worst record for conceding fouls in the whole division, so it may be that they're a little too physical even for a 'contact sport'. Absolutely agree with your last sentence though - I'm sure our lads are ready for a physical contest!

I pray that all the lads are up for the game YCL. They will need to be and they will need to be there for each other. I have no issue with Brown getting on at some time and kicking lumps out of them.

We all know that Ingham's up for a fight... remember that time he fought a brave battle alongside Rankine & Gash outside Subway (near The Gallery Nightclub) in the early hours of one morning a while ago!

As a loyal fan and it pains me to say it, I'll be very surprised if we go up this season. One poor performance too many I'm afraid, added with the fools gold of the Trophy Final (I'll be there by the way) have cost us dearly.

As Cilla would say "SURPRISE SURPRISE" KEEP THE FAITH

Lets hope for a decent ref on monday, and it's vital York keep all our players on the pitch if Mansfield carry on like they did in the 1st leg lets hope the ref get his decisions correct.
This York side are as good as anyone in the play offs and our record against these teams proves it. FA trophy final, play offs this is a tremendous achievement and should be applauded.

I have thought all the way through this season that this is our season and haven't changed my mind. It may go to extra time and penalties. So could be a long afternoon! Apart from O'Neils, what other pubs in York broadcast the Premier Sports channel?

Why does Ingham want to post this article?
Talk about pouring petrol on a fire,its going to be a rough ride if we win.
They have a hard core of morons (like all clubs) ready for trouble,see on-line forum.
I was at the game in the middle of the miners strike,nasty bunch of looser's then too.

Believe !!

LOL? Don't think so.

Notice that the Stag's fans are still going on about how we didn't score - they did. What a bunch of myopic losers. Talking of myopic - they all seem to be so sycophantic over their CEO. Not quite sure what they see in her - things must be desperate in that town.

1st leg over,lets go to Mansfield play the excellent playing football we have done over the season.This will win us the match at mansfield instead of the bully boy tactices employed my our opponents.GOOD LUCK CITY.

LOL, memories of old north stand at Field Mill. I do miss terracing, Boothams a proper football ground not like these plastic meccano sets. Back to the match, now watched the video and agree Green first yellow. Second yellow he did not touch the ball but was stupid to put hand up. I still believe Fyfield should have walked. Ref was typical joke in this league, absolutely no consistency. We cannot appeal Green's second yellow but ref can rescind if he believes he was wrong - absolutely no chance and Green will miss game. Riley very doubtful - big loss, but this season we have strength in depth and rested most of these players and still beat Wrexham and Kiddy away last match. First leg we played ugly for the draw but believe me we are far more than the 'hoof' you witnessed. Monday will be cracking game as we have been unbeaten at home for so long and York have good away record. York very good passing side but didnt really penetrate. At Field Mill we play some good football but my fear is the pace and counter attack from York. Green out gives you new problems though! Wish you could have full allocation of away end but this is not the club decision but stupid Notts safety group (jobsworths). I'm sure we could have sold full capacity (9,900). Safe journey and good luck for your only (hopefully) trip to Wembley.

Erm, no it's not. It's an open forum for anyone who wishes to discuss events affecting City and its fans. I for one am happy to see contributions from fans of other clubs.
