Rushden And Diamonds

[Marshy]

Hey guys i couldnt find an official Rushden and Diamonds thread so i thought i would start one!
Just talk about anything you want thats related to The Diamonds!!

OK.
We won for the first time this year 4-1 with Lowe, Jack, Hall and Burgess scoring.
Thats put us up to 10th but Luton are on the same points with two games in hand :eek:

[The Vitality]

There may not be an official thread for them, because....

NO ONE CARES ABOUT THEM!!! :D

Well, anyway, what do you think of your teams chances for the play-offs this season? And do you know a guy called Colin West? He used to play for them during the season in which they drew Leeds (I believe) in the FA Cup.

[asher b]

Aren't rushden in division 2? They could be playing us again next year lol.

Bet you would have got long odds on that a few years ago.

[The Vitality]

That's if Leeds are still in existence... :(

Shame really, I enjoyed watching us beat you 4-1. And, who will I take the piss out of on monday mornings?

[Marshy]

I think we can reach the play-offs but if we do i don't think we will get promoted, maybe next season!! :D
The only Colin West i know plays for Sheffield Wednesday who used to play for Hartlepool :eek:

[The Vitality]

That would be the one, I believe. He was once a Diamond. Earned a fortune as well. Something like £1000 a week, which, in the conference, is a large sum.

Do you think Plymouth will win the title? I think they have done amazingly well to be this consistent seeing as they were promoted last year.

[Marshy]

yeah i reckon Plymouth will win it, if not QPR but Rushden and Diamonds has done well, i mean from winning the Conference and Div 3 and 10th in Div 2
Not bad eh, better form then Leeds anyway!!!

[wixon]

i don't know much about Rushden. the only thing I do know about them is that the mighty Coventry beat them 8-0 in last seasons carling (worthington) cup.

[Marshy]

we put out our reserves mates!!!

[The Vitality]

We did that against Chelski once and lost 5-0. Yet they refuse to accept it was our reserves so why should we accept your claim? :rolleyes:

[Marshy]

because it is true in a way!!!

[The Vitality]

"...in a way."

Surely this implies that it was not your reserve team as you claim?

Anyway, what happened to your old Mr Abramovich style chairman, Max Griggs?

[Marshy]

what do you mean what happened to him???
i said the reserve team mates who aren't even professional

[The Vitality]

Well, it's your own fault. Just as it was ours for sending out a shite team against Chelsea. Expect we didn't lose 8-0. ;)

I thought the chairman was leaving...

[Marshy]

who are "we"
Nah he is staying

[Marshy]

Swindon Town 4 - 2 Rushden & Diamonds
An own goal and Rodney Jack scoring for The Diamonds.
We have now moved down to 12th but Colchester has 2 games in hand and only 1 point behind.

[Marshy]

I am beginning to think that no one else cares about Rushden and Diamonds anymore!!!!

[jthk2004]

i have never watched an entire diamonds game here in the usa. so i think i'd better keep my mouth shut for this one...

[Marshy]

I open it then!!!!

[David Pagi]

I'm a Diamonds fan and live right near the ground and go efvery week nice to see a htread dedicated to the mighty diamonds :)

[Lord Shrimpeh]

So, Rushdon verus Macclesfield tomorrow eh?

Bottom of the divison and beaten 5-0 by Carlisle last match.

However, real question is, why the hell are they called Rushdon and Diamonds?

[Yossi]

Because in the 80s, there was a team called Rushden Someone and and a team called the Someone Diamonds. And they merged, hence Rushden & Diamonds.
