Re: Former Players!
 

Trying to take my mind off this Saturday I just noticed that Mr. Kurtis Guthrie is currently playing for Forest Green Rovers (aka Painswick Reserves) in the first leg of their Conference play off. Good luck to him.

Re: Former Players!
 

Glad to see my Westley prediction came true :D

Re: Former Players!
 

Interesting to see Micah Evans has been released by that giant of the footballing world Stockport County. He did seem to have a talent, shame he never used it and just wasted his career

Re: Former Players!
 

seen him a couple of times and looked disinterested but you could see he had something. my lad who goes regularly said he was like that every game. one of many who thinks they are better than they are. effort and dedication are as important as skill.

Re: Former Players!
 

In Bardolino today I met a face and a name from the past !...

Does anyone else remember Alan Davies who scored the winning goal in Stanley's 2-1 win over Formby on their return to Soccer on the 15th of August 1970 ?.
Glad to say he looked fit and well and still has the Club close to his heart !.

It's a small world methinks !.

Re: Former Players!
 

Jay Bell and a few of the other ex players will be in attendance today.

Lee Mcevilly is still waiting for his invite from the club

Re: Former Players!
 

Who are the other ex players Davo?

Heard they're saving Lees invite for end of season awards ceremony...

Re: Former Players!
 

Jay's been a few times lately - he was definitely in the Crown to witness the madness that took place after the York game! :)

Re: Former Players!
 

Congratulations to Podge & his Grimsby team mates on their promotion to League 2 - if we don't manage to turn things around on Wednesday at least there's another northern team in there

Re: Former Players!
 

Well thats good news, pleased that Grimsby are back.:)

Re: Former Players!
 

James Gray signs for Southport

Re: Former Players!
 

Kal Naismith transfer listed by Pompey.

Re: Former Players!
 

could still do a job for us I think.

Re: Former Players!
 

Is one inconsistent wide man not enough ??? :rolleyes:

Re: Former Players!
 

Have to agree, spot on Billy Casper, He had real talent, but displays it too rarely.

Re: Former Players!
 

Released by Portsmouth along with matt tubbs

Re: Former Players!
 

Hasn't Toto just signed a new contract?

Re: Former Players!
 

Quite possibly - I'd forgotten he was at Grimsby

Re: Former Players!
 

andrew dawber joins altrincham

Re: Former Players!
 

wish him well, sorry to lose him, but thats life.

Re: Former Players!
 

Thought he joined Fulham, when he left Stanley a year or so ago.

Re: Former Players!
 

Liam Wakefield linked with Tranmere

Re: Former Players!
 

Joe Wright signed for Doncaster!

Re: Former Players!
 

jerome fitzgerald, new assistant manager at nelson

Re: Former Players!
 

but signing for Morecambe from reports.

Re: Former Players!
 

Did, nt rate him good enough.

Re: Former Players!
 

Is he a left back ?

Re: Former Players!
 

Yep . . . . . . . . . . Left back in the changing rooms more often than not :p(sorry, couldn't resist)!

Re: Former Players!
 

Only one of these rumoured/confirmed signings for the Shrimps gives me cause for concern and that's Shay, who would be a big loss imo. Shrimps message boarders, in their latest amusingly gloating thread, whilst correctly pointing out his poor looking scoring record, are obviously not taking into account the fact that Coley has been reluctant to use him other than as a late sub for his golden boy, whose unfortunate re-signing looks dafter by the week! Let's see who Andy Holt's "next level up" signings turn out to be before we worry too much about our cast offs.;)

Re: Former Players!
 

Whilst we've (I think) have agreed to disagree on Mr.McConville Redraine - I wholeheartedly agree that we cannot afford to lose Shay - fingers crossed that the departures we have suffered are the last & that we can keep the rest of the squad together - got everything crossed

Re: Former Players!
 

Reckon I'm on my own in that I'm less bothered about losing McCarten than anyone else.

The lad is useless off the ball and can't pick out a pass. Great finisher and will beat 3 defenders and stick it in the net once every 10 games but I rather gamble on a new starter than base out team around him.

Re: Former Players!
 

Shay is a great player, Was hoping and still hoping that he will sign up and take Windass place in the team and get a run in the team be deserves!

Re: Former Players!
 

Agree with you Sam. Mcarten has his attributes but I don't see him being a player that can play a pivotal role such as the one Billy Kee played this season. He seems to either light a fire or be awol. Maybe that's a confidence thing cos he's inevitably on the bench. If he goes, wish him well, he may decide that a clean break is best for him. That would leave an opening in Accy's squad for someone who may have been knocked back at a bigger club and is 'hungry' (Coley's buzzword) for a second chance

Re: Former Players!
 

I think Jim Bentley sees Shay McCarten as a similar replacement for Jamie Devitt who seems likely to be moving on.

Re: Former Players!
 

problem with shay is that when he starts a game he seems to be largely anonymous but when he comes off the bench he has at times changed the game and most of his goals are scored as a sub. doesn,t seem that long ago when people weren,t that keen with windass or crooks in the side. one I,d like to keep as he could improve with us and not the one that got away.

Re: Former Players!
 

Jamie Devitt signed for Carlisle!

Re: Former Players!
 

Oh dear, that'll upset Morecambe fans - some seemed to think he was going but to climb up a league not to sign for their neighbours :rolleyes:

Re: Former Players!
 

Not totally unexpected.....unlike some of your departures....and counting....;););)

Re: Former Players!
 

so does that mean you will be hiding in the bushes shortly to spot the ex stanley player cc

Re: Former Players!
 

Surprised,that move didn't do joycy any favours

Re: Former Players!
 

Luke Simpson released by Watford.

Re: Former Players!
 

that comes as a big shock. hope he,s off to Morecambe.

Re: Former Players!
 

Not sure if this is sarcasm or genuine about his release?

Re: Former Players!
 

just genuinely sarcastic about a player I never rated one bit.

Re: Former Players!
 

https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images...5/rUgGpPmI.jpg

still available, would be a good back up.

Re: Former Players!
 

Not sure The Crown needs another two bouncers.

Re: Former Players!
 

Michael Liddle signed for Blyth!

Re: Former Players!
 

Absolutely no disrespect to Blyth but think Lidds is more than capable of playing at a higher level

Re: Former Players!
 

Re: Former Players!
 

Apparently Podge off to Hartlepool jeez wouldn't send my greatest enemy there

Re: Former Players!
 

lots of worse places to live or play football for. hartlepool born and bred and proud of it as i,m proud to be a stanley fan now.

Re: Former Players!
 

Jason Mooney signed for Cliftonville!

Re: Former Players!
 

Good luck to him - glad he's got sorted

Re: Former Players!
 

Great to see former RED Darren Randolph doing well with Ireland qualifying for the last sixteen at Euro 2016!:globwhore:balloon2::drink::worthy:

Re: Former Players!
 

lindfield signs for Marine

Re: Former Players!
 

please don,t mention that name. i,ve only just managed to forget him along with charlie barnett. it shows how far we have come when we don,t have players like these anymore. thank god.

Re: Former Players!
 

A bit harsh - both of those lads & plenty of others played their part in Stanley's journey to where we are now

Re: Former Players!
 

I didn't think Linfield was too good as a striker, Played better as a right back!

Wasn't the greatest player in a red shirt but can think of plenty a lot worse!

Re: Former Players!
 

[QUOTE=baldy;1171163]I didn't think Linfield was too good as a striker, Played better as a right back!QUOTE]

He was Stanley's Gareth Bale, in reverse!;)

Re: Former Players!
 

can you name anyone who played regularly from 2009 who were a lot worse apart from charlie barnett. maybe as worse but a lot worse i just can,t see it.

Re: Former Players!
 

I can Bells son.

Re: Former Players!
 

Stanley actually offered him a contract which he turned down as he wanted regular first-team football, don't think he's managed his ambition.

Re: Former Players!
 

Leam Wakefield signed for Morecambe sorry Accy 2nd eleven.

Re: Former Players!
 

Know nowt about the guy but if he wasn't good enough for you, then not good enough for us.

Re: Former Players!
 

Good luck to Liam (or Wonky 2 as we affectionately christened him - don't worry CC, name was nothing to do with his playing ability, just that his no. was wonky on his shirt in pre-season friendlies & it kinda stuck) :)

Re: Former Players!
 

Mr. Wakefield seemed a decent enough prospect but struggled to keep a regular place in a pretty strong defensive back four last season.

Re: Former Players!
 

Wasn't a bad player,so certainly good enough fer you lot C.C.:D

Re: Former Players!
 

We are announcing a couple of new signings this week and looks like McCartan may well be the other one.
Winnard , Wakefield , Murphy , Molyneaux , McCartan.
I wouldn't mind Buxton too !

Re: Former Players!
 

Good player Liam,probably his strength is his defending.
Tall,quick and good on the ball and can play centre back.
Matty and Buckos form limited his appearances,never did anything wrong for me.

Re: Former Players!
 

wow what a line up, ambitious, progressive that, morecambe red

Re: Former Players!
 

Its part of our master plan :hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall:

Re: Former Players!
 

Re: Former Players!
 

Just an aside, RR, why is your typeset so bloomin' small that most of us can't read it??

Even tho' I've been to Specsavers!!

Re: Former Players!
 

Yet, when I look back, it's now normal?

Re: Former Players!
 

Marcus Carver signed for Chorley!

Re: Former Players!
 

He sounds ok

Re: Former Players!
 

he will be ok for you as long as he plays at full back. although a big lad i,m not sure of him at centre half. not a world beater at the moment but still only young. good luck with him.

Re: Former Players!
 

Think morecambe may be following Coleys style with three big,young defenders and a attacking fullback.
If Bucko signs for Acci,then it will be the same

Re: Former Players!
 

Proccy physio at Portsmouth, when the hell did he sign for them

Re: Former Players!
 

Cue some on the forum criticising one of our greatest servants for making a 'sideways' move - good luck proc

Re: Former Players!
 

I doubt that very much, no wonder countrys in a mess wi that mentality.:rolleyes:

Re: Former Players!
 

Think the deal was done a while ago,fantastic opportunity to start his new career and I can honestly say I have never met anyone who has had a bad word to say about him - a legend to Acci and his profession

Re: Former Players!
 

But its okay to do the same to other players??

Re: Former Players!
 

If its deserved yeh.is that difficult to grasp? seems that way.

Re: Former Players!
 

Its difficult to grasp how we decide who is deserving and who isn't. Time served? Goals scored? I don't understand why some of our players (who have all done their best for the club) get criticised for leaving in a supposed sideways move and others don't.

Re: Former Players!
 

Proccy's loyalty to Stanley could never be questioned, after an horrendous injury he's decided to pick up the career he chose to study for once it was time for him to hang up his boots & the very best of luck to him.
Going from player to qualified physio is hardly a sideways move, some of us might not have any affection for Portsmouth but I'm sure they'll have cracking facilities which will help Andy to progress further down his new career path.

Re: Former Players!
 

there,s a difference in a player who has played most of his adult football for a club and moved on as a physio to one who has not been here 5 mins. for a club that resurected his career.

Re: Former Players!
 

I told him it was difficult fer him to grasp.:D it still will never sink in i reckon.

Re: Former Players!
 

Contracts are negotiated between (and for the benefit of) two parties. At the end of the contract neither party has an obligation to sign another one.

I get that player to physio is not a sideways move hence the apostrophes around sideways in my first post and the word 'supposed' in my second. It was a tongue in cheek reaction, primarily aimed at those giving Tom a hard time on here.

I would find it ridiculous that anyone would criticise Proc, in the same way as I find I ridiculous that anyone would criticise Tom.

Re: Former Players!
 

Your plan might need to be re-mastered after you see some of the trademark panic clearances which are the trademark of one of your Stanley signings, mate. Just so you are prepared.:D

Re: Former Players!
 

With the defenders we had last season , it can only improve this season.

I've been looking at footage of Wakefield playing at The Globe against us last season and I like what I've seen. He is tall and athletic and overlaps well.

Re: Former Players!
 

there was 44 games after that one

Re: Former Players!
 

Re: Former Players!
 

Never had any trouble with your posts - well not with reading them, anyway :D

Much smaller font than other posts, OK to see on PC screen, but very difficult ( for me)to see on phone.
Nobody else have this problem, only happens on RR posts??

Re: Former Players!
 

Tom Davies confirmed by Portsmouth on a 2 year deal!

Re: Former Players!
 

they clearly didnt watch his long ball percentage football!

Re: Former Players!
 

Did anyone find out the real reason we sacked him?
