Can’t see Neil Ardley lasting much longer at Notts County; despite the off field issues he is still to impress and fans patience will soon run out.
Nice guy but sometimes it doesn’t work out, some of his signings have been questionable and his tactics again today where baffling.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Apparently it doesn't :(

Re: Bits & Bobs

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

so can he play. if not they are punishing the player twice as its a first team game. a bit pointless pushing this competition if they do not take it seriously.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Reading this, it seems that Sean can play:

But I'm no expert. Maybe Mr T can give a definite answer.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

This became an issue for Max Power at Sunderland I think last season.
Banned for three but became four because of tinpot.
My understanding is the rule has been relaxed.
He can play.

[QUOTE=DAV007;1231638]Cowleys earning themselves a well deserved job at a bigger club

be interesting to see how it pans out for them at huddersfield. never managed a really struggling club never mind in the championship where they have never managed before. hope they do fine however despite it being huddersfield.

Three of Southport's five goals in the FA Cup on Saturday were headed in direct from Reagan Ogle's throw-ins, the second of them by Zehn Mohammed:

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

If Maguire or Angol arent going to be our left back answer id bring Reagan back asap. Put him straight in and put Opokopo at centre back. Defence sorted. Ish.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

What little i’ve seen of Mr. Ogle it was evident he could tale a tremendous throw-in (usually one of Stanley’s least effective set plays) and looked a good prospect.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

We also have the lad from West Ham sat on the bench looked very composed when he came on in the previous home game.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

What a load of cobblers. More about ‘rubbish refs’ than anything.
This nonsense, and the Posh and Gills games, has prompted me to pose a question that’s been rattling around my grey matter for a while.
Can anyone suggest a Stanley player, since rejoining the league, who could be described as a thug?
Matty Pearson was a hard nut, but not dirty. Hessey and Aldred similarly.
I can’t think of one.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

The only one who springs to mind is Lee McEvilly & even he wasn't that bad - clumsy in tackles maybe but not exactly a thug

Not since joining the League.

In the non-league days, we had the legendary Steve 'Hacker' Halford :)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Well done Bolton on there 1st league win of the season, just 2 more points to get to zero.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

And will it be ‘well done’ when, as I think will happen, they catch up and threaten other teams down near the bottom of the table?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Yes it will if they catch up on merit.


Please show love not hate , the worst teams get relegated, the best go up



If Stanley go down its our own fault, especially with only 3 relegation places


Get behind the club

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Don’t post your sanctimonious woke cliches at me.
As far as I know YOU are the only person on here who interprets any comment not agreeing with you as HATE. Grow up.
And don’t presume (a) that I think Bolton will not deserve to survive on their merits and (b) you are the only person who’s behind the club.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Hi Exile,
I don't want to fall out with you, let's keep it civil.

Bolton deserve credit where it's due

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Bolton will be getting another points deduction the way things are going. Firstly, they didn't fulfill their fixture against Brentford at the end of last season due to their players strike. Secondly, they started this season with a weakened team, giving their early opponents an unfair advantage. Thirdly, they cancelled their fixture against Doncaster with 36 hours notice. If they didn't have a proper, full-strength team, they should never have been allowed to start.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

agree 100%.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

BOLTON WONDERERS TICKET ALLOCATION SOLD OUT :) Hundreds of Wanderers fans who were hoping to see Bolton’s first-ever match with the current iteration of Accrington Stanley will be disappointed to learn that all of the club’s 2,500 ticket allocation for Bolton’s trip to Accrington on November 23 has been sold out.
Despite the sizable allocation, it took just 28 hours for all the tickets to sell out and it means that Bolton fans will take up just under half of the Crown Ground, or Wham Stadium, when the two clubs meet later this month.


However, a huge number of supporters have been left disappointed and asking whether or not a larger allocation will be given to Wanderers supporters.
Bolton have faced Accrington Stanley just once in the club’s history, an FA Cup meeting in 1926’s third round as the Trotters went onto win the tournament that year.
However, the Accrington Stanley that Wanderers will face in several weeks time are technically a new club, one that was formed in 1968, two years after the original Stanley had collapsed due to financial woes.


Accrington Stanley’s Crowd Ground holds a capacity of just 5,500 supporters and as Bolton have been given just shy of 2,500 tickets, Accrington fans will only just outnumber Wanderers supporters if the home side bring in a good crowd.
For fans asking whether there will be an increased allocation, don’t hold your breath.
Bolton have been given just over 45% of the tickets for the match and any more would turn effectively the Accrington match into a pseudo home fixture.


It’s obviously a huge shame that fans have missed out as the local derby has clearly drawn a lot of interest but thankfully, there should be ample room for supporters when Accrington come to Bolton in February for the reverse fixture.:)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

[QUOTE=mab;1233369]BOLTON WONDERERS TICKET ALLOCATION SOLD OUT :)


hope something is done to stop em turning up on the day to buy stanley area tickets as a neutral. think a no ticket on the day sales policy should apply even if it will be an inconveniance for many including me.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

[QUOTE=Wynonie Harris;1233363]. Thirdly, they cancelled their fixture against Doncaster with 36 hours notice.

if they get away with that one then its about time to give up the game. anyone can try it then with even an injury crisis of a couple players out and mystery illness for a few others. at least rovers should get the points as a minimum league sanction.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

[QUOTE=monkey hanger;1233377]I said that about the Blackpool game the club in thier wisdom decided to sell on the day idiots if they decide to come get tanked up on the day and turn up ticket or no ticket high profile games for such as Bolton should IMHO be no pay on the day saves money on increased police Bill's hopefully we will sell out before the Saturday.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Bolton were given an extra 245 seated tickets yesterday according to their website - they've probably sold all those too

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

No problem. Stanley play better at ‘away’ matches! :rolleyes:

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

[QUOTE=monkey hanger;1233377]


Bolton fans are part of the football family and as such should have full access into the Stanley end provided there are seats available
No fan should miss out because some home 'fans' are easily intimidated, we are the football family, let's unite

You’re right, AccyMad, it’s disgusting.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Even after four years, for those of us who were there at Yeovil (and some who couldn’t make it that night), Crooks failure to convert what appeared at the time to be a certain goal in the FA Cup replay remains a painful memory.

So I hope, like me, you find some solace in this little incident that occurred this week.

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/av/football/50399568

Btw, notice the state of that Yeovil pitch? A disgrace, or what?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Unbelievable!!!!

:) :) :)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Speaking of Crooksy he seems to be in the goals for Rotherham at the minute.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

It certainly was a painful night in Somerset but wouldn't have missed it for the world.
Just hope Crooksy is in the same form he was that night when we play Rotherham on Saturday, doubt it though - he seems to be scoring for fun at the moment

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Hope he is in one of his play when I feel like it moods

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

never thought of him as a player like that. no one plays well every game but i never thought he had an attitude problem.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Me neither :)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

for my money crooks was one of the best attacking midfielders we have had.end of the day he was learning the job also when we had him.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Agreed Cashy, one of the best we have had for a while :)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

I felt that Crooks was Stanley’s version of Yaya Toure! Cool, strong in possession and always capable of scoring a spectacular goal. When he first came as a centre forward he was rubbish but Coley and Jimmy converted him into an excellent goal scoring midfield player.

Has he been kidnapped ? Not seen on Twitter for nearly 2 weeks

Totally not known since he became involved at the club.

Gagged by the EFL ? I cant see it to be honest.

Hopefully he’s having a much needed holiday in the sun.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

i hope so also, but he usually pops on when away?

funny i was thinking the same. hope its not a situation where that straw has broke andy holts back. he will deal with idiots in his business and maybe he might be getting sick of dealing with complete idiots in his role at stanley. hope i,m not making something out of something that does not exist but that fa cup game would send a t totaler into an alcoholic.

Andy seems to be back and in full flow on Twitter. Good to read his latest ideas

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Bolton have been handed a 5 point deduction for calling off the Brentford & Doncaster games but it is suspended for 18 months for some reason, they have also been fined & they will have to rearrange the Doncaster game - seems to me they've got off lightly

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

EFL apparently deciding whether to appeal. Think they're in a difficult position caught between not wanting to be seen to kick Bolton after what happened to Bury but with the majority of clubs feeling that Bolton have got off very lightly indeed.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

yhat is the biggest understatement you,ll ever come out with. might have well just let em off in the first place. if it was stanley or morecambe i wonder what the outcome would be. hope stanley hammer em on saturday , helping our cause and making their trot off to divisin 2 closer. if they do go down they might appeal against that and get away with it.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

So who is this Panel? thats made this ridiculous decision, are they on Boltons new owners board or what?:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Some at Bolton Wanderers clearly think they are above such things and ‘deserve’ to be treated lightly...

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Would love to wipe that smug smirk off his face tomorrow!

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Hold the front page on the Bolton outcome, the EFL have announced they are appealing against the decision of the independent panel - for once I agree with the EFL although I do wonder who appointed the panel, who they were & what was the point if the decision can be appealed against by the EFL??? Confused dot com!

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Di and all;

The quickest and cheapest way to solve a football "issue" is via an Independent Regulatory Commission ( IRC)

A panel is appointed of 3 people, 1 with a legal background and 2 from a football background; they look at the facts and make a decision.

ASFC have been before an IRC re lack of an ITC for JD; not deemed to be a major issue and the lack of coaching qualifications for James B.

Both ended up as suspended fans, without any footballing sanctions.

The big question is who were on the IRC and what was their reasoning ??

And yes either side can appeal IF they don't like the 1st decision; but it then gets very expensive!!

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

But who decides on an independant panel? surely not the E.F.L.?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

I'm now trying to get my head round the vision of James Beattie as a suspended fan :thankya: - waving a scarf round his head maybe?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Cashy great question;

Definately not the EFL.

Every year we get a list of those good people who sit on IRC's. If you have an issue that gets referred to an IRC you do get to know who the 3 people are plus their backgrounds. You can ask for an IRC member to be swopped if you have good reason's why they shouldn't be on the IRC

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

So basically no-one knows who selects them?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

might be the sweet FA. seems like putting the cart before the horse to me. you would think the football league would make the decision first and an independant body would discuss an appeal if there was one.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

That would make way too much sense
