Tranmere (home) thread
 

Frustrating home defeat, if we had won I feel we could have felt safe but we have handed the submarines an olive branch and I feel we need 2 wins to make sure we maintain are hard fought league 1 status.
The game, first 10 minutes we started off really well, Clark and Johnson caused lots of problems. They scored there goal, Bursik mistake but I suppose all goalies have them occasionally. We shouldn't have allowed a header on goal in the first place. After this we struggled to get playing again. I don't remember Scott Davies having to make a decent save from this point. There second goal I feel finlay could have cleared his lines.
Despite Scott Davies profercating the home fans there is absolutely no place for spitting on him. A terrible example to set to our young fans.
The team tried there best but it just wasn't to be.
Good flag display and minutes silence before hand.
It's going to be tough ahead with our defensive injuries and suspensions along with difficult fixtures but hopefully we can scramble the necessary points.
I watched the video of the chap (Harry Stephenson) that died this morning/recently. Truly inspirational and emotionally, helps remind you of the spirit of our club and how we need to vocally support them to get them over the safety line so we can sing, "the Stanley's staying up!"

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Maybe the thread about the season being over needs resurrecting.
Dion needs to take his blinkers off and bring others into the game.
That miss in the early minutes was a shocker.
Zanzala needs moving to Conference North - his standard.
Totally utterly and completely frustrated by that team performance.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Nothing more to add to your comments, twenty eight!

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Bursik made quite a few errors last few months.
Finley very immobile in the middle for large parts of the game.
Agree with Twenty Eight re; Dion
Baffled as to why we played so many through balls to Colby.
I think conference north is too good for Ozzy at the moment. Something just clearly isn’t right with him, every game after a 10 yard run he seems to pull up.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Finley banned for Portsmouth too.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Banned for two and as sure as eggs are eggs that will be extended to three when the Rochdale matter is sorted.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

the goal today was NOT Bursiks fault. it hit a bump in the box and bounced up.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Let’s not beat about the bush.
Had it not been for Bury’s demise, Bolton’s points deduction and the unexpected capitulation of Sarfend we would have been in a whole heap of the brown stuff.
Safe in my opinion ..... but for all the wrong reasons.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Bursik already wrong footed before the ball hit the ground.
Can think of at least 4 goals he should have done a lot better with since start of year...
No one mentioned but a lot of criticism for Dimi previously

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

The spitting overshadowed the game for me. Disgusting and unprovoked. Other fans laughing was just as bad.
I could see a fan went and spoke to the stewards to finger the culprit. I also spoke to a steward afterwards.
Young kids gesticulating at the keeper afterwards showed how they are influenced by such crap behaviour.

The other thing of note was the penalty area. Far too much sand. Compacted mud would be better.

Ref was poor, we were rubbish.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

You can blame bad luck, missed chances, the pitch, or the join the ship of fools blaming the officials - the truth is we weren't good enough to beat Tranmere today.
I thought after witnessing the humiliation by Southend, things couldn't possibly get any worse, today proved me wrong.
There will come a time for many fans, forced to endure another home defeat by a team doomed to relegation, to say 'enough is enough'.
'Predictable' would be a kind adjective to describe today's performance. 'Inept' would be nearer the mark.
Tranmere barely had to break sweat to secure all three points - they even scored all 3 goals.
Our attempts to score would have shamed a team of schoolboys, never mind professional footballers from L1.
Finley in particular, but by no means exclusively, was guilty of numerous wild shots embarrassingly off-target.
Thank God we've already got 40 points!
Thank God we've still got Jordan Clark!
With perhaps 3 or 4 exceptions, most of our team would be lucky to get a game in the Conference.
On today's performance, we'd be lucky to beat Morecambe.
Woe is me!

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

now we know how all the ‘better’ teams felt every season we got promoted from Non-League felt when we beat them...

Enjoy Clicker whilst it lasts.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Well if Dav007 gets his way he should be dropped because he wont be in Coley’s plans for next year.
That could also include our Captain.
Jesus wept.
Just looked through our remaining fixtures ..........
Safe ?
Probably because Tranmere will falter.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

dear god I hope our captain gets offered and agrees to a new contract!

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Agreed.
Somebody needs to talk to him then.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Thought this all year. When you consider some of the contract offers to players closest to Coley after promotion which have incurred significant unfulfilled cost and then your lad being overlooked, I do wonder what oversight and challenge Coley is put under.
I think we are safe, partly as there are also two less Games to play with no Bury, so less opportunity for Tranmere to gain traction and catch us.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

He would be the first player out of the door for me. Coley can do better than that in the summer I’m sure. Time will tell

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

And so he returns ....... never disappoints.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Don’t think he was too bad today however, Sam gets my vote there today

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Really ? The naughty schoolboy ? Needs to focus on playing football rather than picking fights and shooting his gob off. Wonder what he said to the young Tranmere fan in the away seated area ?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Didn’t see that 28 what did he do?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

When you see a young child deeply upset and trying to get on the pitch i can only imagine what he said.
I think he's got away with it.
But back to the subject.
You seriously think Conneely should be first out of the door ?
Wow.
Lets just throw one suggestion forward.
Zanzala ??

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Apologies 28 don’t think I made myself clear, thought Sam was very poor today.

And yes fair doos I forgot about Zanzala....

From back to front thought Rogers Clicker were the only two decent performers today

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Some player opinions from my amateur status!
Recently feel maguire has done well at full back, been steddy,
I actually feel we look better in midfield with Barclay alongside Connelly it gives us a solid base to allow particularly on Clark and Johnson's side the opportunity to get forward.
Opuku is frustrating me, clearly talented but at times wonder about his attitude. Near the end he went on a run forward, lost ball and just lied there no attempt to quickly get back.
Like others feel it isn't clicking for zanzala at the moment.
Regards this season as a whole we have been unlucky with a number of key performers. Since the start of the season to the current available side we are missing Kee, Hughes, Sykes and Mcconville.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

You made yourself 100% clear.You said Conneely should be the first out of the door.
Unbelievable.
Or are you now saying it should be Finlay ?
Get a grip.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

What are you talking about get a grip? you imbecile!

No wonder I don’t bother with this forum much anymore with miserable old clulesss sods like you here...

I thought Sam had a very poor game today, but I don’t want to see him leave the club, and yes to be clear if Seamus is out of contract I’d like to see him go because he is out of his depth. Thanks and have a lovely evening 28

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Agree completely about the spitting - disgusting!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Im clueless ? ....... lets do a straw poll.
Who thinks Conneely should be first out of the door ?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Very fair summary.............

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Me for 1 28

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Sums you up.
You said it.
Then apologised.
Then said it again !
Votes at 1-1.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

And talking about setting bad examples, how about our skipper swearing and even worse smoking in public

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Hahaha hilarious !!!!
Seamus is a very religious man and does not swear.
As for smoking .... I think its you that's been smoking something.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

How would you know that you clown?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

And once again a thread descends into tit for tat name calling & insults - grow up the pair of you

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Accymad
Answer is simple.
Im not going to sit back and allow slurs against our Captain that are totally made up.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

How about expressing an opinion Accymad ?
Should Conneely be the first out of the door ?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Seamus smoking....
More chance of him falling out of Stringfellows with a Page 3 model hahahahaha.
Been one of our best players recent weeks. Months. Seasons.

Watch next game. Everything goes through him. Most have double the amount of touches of any other player. And before we start talking about goals etc, if you want him to be as creative as Clicker, Pritchard, Charles etc then why not comment on them doing the dirty work like he consistently and constantly does.

He is our club captain.
He is the only ASFC player to have lifted an EFL Champions Trophy.
You don’t get given respect, you earn it.
What more does the lad have to do!?!?!

I signed up to this forum looking for some good conversations with fellow Stanley fans.
Apart from a few good, honest and loyal people, this is just a bunch of deluded, mindless, one-eyed clowns who do nothing but to slander and slate when in their eyes they don’t get their own way. (Be that football wise or personal wise)

No wonder this forum is getting worse and worse.
No wonder the ‘new’ generation of Stanley fans laugh in disbelief at this forum.
No wonder the club is moving on without them.

OASST & Ultras do an amazing job for the club.
I would bet my house on the people on here who contribute to the club, and the people who moan no matter what happens, as they are keyboard warriors.

Up The Stanley. Keep The Faith.
Best club in the world. Never forget that.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

You clearly rate him, don’t taoe it so personally old boy

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

For what it's worth, no - absolutely not but that wasn't my point as the thread had gone past the point of different opinions

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I’ll take what I choose to take personally or otherwise.
Equally whether other posters like it or like it not (Accymad) I wont stand aside and allow idiots like you make slanderous comments against one of the most dedicated professionals this club will ever employ.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

So how do you know he doesn’t smoke? idiot.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Have a guess .....
How do you believe he does ?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I can’t believe that some people are questioning Seamus’ ability. For me he has been player of the season. He is without doubt one of the most consistent performers and has been for some time.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

We were **** end of.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Settle!

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

We need more professionalism in the ranks but some are happy with players acting like a pub side

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Back on thread :)

Game was dire in the main.

We played well for first 5 minutes, then for 10 minutes after we scored :)

Bobby made a difference when he came on, the only person - in my opinion!! - showing any fight/desire :)

We have lost our biggest 3 players - Billy, Sean and Hughesy - plus our best centre back pairing, yet I still believe we are safe, so it is not all bad :)

Special mention for the good side of our Club, great to see the banner for the Rotherham fan and the bucket collection for him...... football is just a game ;)

:) :) :)

Has someone with measured perspicacity ( StanleyJosh ) sussed me out after all these years I wonder ?.. :cool::(

ON STANLEY !.. ON TO GREATER THINGS !!..

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Couldn't agree more, thought my post was pretty good though to be fair :D

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

It’s defo gone downhil mate. I actually started SU on this very forum. Every fan I knew at the time posted. I know social media has changed but it seems to be humourless infighting on here. So much so that everyone’s stopped posting.

Shame. As the experience on match day doesn’t reflect the vibe on here

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Everything you do is good Diane

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Stop it, you are making me blush :o

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Right, enough of this friendly, good humoured and sensible posting!!!!!!

:D :D :D

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I said sensible not the best...

Best is obviously my good mate King Dav007

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Problem is Jason football throws up arguments everyone views the game through their own eyes I've been going year's and love Stanley doesn't stop me saying that yesterday they were poor but I agree this forum has become a juvenile playground of name calling and backbiting sad that grown men and women behave like that behind a keyboard keep the good work up Jason clubs need fans like you see you around.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

have to say first 15 mins we were very good, after that garbage,injuries to key players dont help, but Tranmere were worse than us i thought.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Well for my 2 penneth, we were rubbish for 75 minutes of the game, as others have said, first 5 and 10 minutes after the own goal. As for the spitting incident (I did wonder why the goalie called over the stewards and the ref), if the culprit has been identified, he should be given a lifetime ban, absolutely no need and not a good example to younger supporters or the good name of Accrington Stanley. Football is about family and the recent losses of fans plus the bucket collection is what I would prefer our 'little' club to be known for!

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Didn't know about that, being away in foreign climes. What a great gesture and so typical of this wonderful club and its fans.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

we all agree we were ****..... everyones allowed to say that. But win and no one posts, lose and its all Seamus fault, wrong team picked, wrong players bought, mickly mouse attitude..... when in reality we are a Conf side with a great manager who can use a bottom L2 budget and perform miracles. Dissect the performance by all means, but with a bit of realism and sensibility.

On Stanley On!
Best little club in the world bar none

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

That's not true though.... plenty of praise and discussion when we win. And that praise can be from the same people who might have moaned from the previous week.

Of course there will be negative posts after a defeat, but there's also praise for players that do well.
I agree that there's too much personal abuse on here. Calling people "imbeciles" not really necessary, but nothing wrong with robust and wildly different points of view.

Some people love Seamus, some don't. Overall it seems to even itself out.... what's wrong with that?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

its a load of cobblers to me, hughes was having a bad time early on in season as was seamus both players improved quite a bit and did well, yeh always get stuff like this on any club site ive been on, those who cant see that dont really want too i think.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

no issues with praise or criticism, as long as it is justified with reasoning.
that seems to be missing a lot on here.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Jase. I don’t post when we lose a match because I do not want to appear to be negative. Some people post when we lose and make sensible observations but then get called ‘Cretins’ or ‘Dense’. I simply don’t want to be targeted like that. When we Win on the other hand, I do post and I am always very positive. It is a real shame that the focus has changed from ‘Celebrating Success’ to ‘Throwing Insults’.
I would just like everyone to be more polite and positive!:theband:
ON STANLEY ON.:wave8:
KEEP THE FAITH.:mosher:

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I'll tell you what's wrong with that. Posters making personal comments (unfounded) about his personal life style.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Correct me if I'm wrong mate, but are you saying that Seamus DOESN'T frequent Stringfellows Gentlemans Club!?!?!

Well I never, I was wrong all along :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

its what the lad does on the pitch is what we should be on about. for me its a funny subject as he is not my favourite player but no one can argue that when he plays stanley do seem to play better. when he has a decent game so do the rest of the lads.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I cant see Seamus upsetting the Pope ........ let alone his beautiful wife.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Twenty Eight / I agree that his personal life is of no consequence, but how many people are arsed about it? Just one bloke on here? Just ignore it.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I can be arsed Sir.
He’s family and we are a close family.
Take a look at that persons posting history.
Anyway shut it down.
He’s made it personal.
I will deal with it personally.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Ban issued!!

https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...lub-statement/

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Good!
Hope it can be enforced.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

How long is the ban?
Might be a good idea if people like this who want to come back are given some sort of club related community service first. Not as a punishment, but some way to see the good that the club does for the town and how everyone can play a part to keep it that way and take pride in it?

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

thats what i have always thought with match banning orders. all you need to do is change your appearance slightly like wearing different clothes, hairstyle and beards etc and you,ll hardly be recognised. doubt any of his mates would dob him in either.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Plenty did when the incident happened. Time for "self policing" maybe.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I'd say the majority of the Clayton End where the incident occurred do 'self police'
Especially the 'Ultras'

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

To be fair, a lot did when the incident happened so I'm not sure they'd help him if he decided to risk coming back while the ban's in place

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

a lot depends on how much he actually wants to come back. still think if you change your appearance a bit and go into a different part of the ground then he would not be recognised. most people sit or stand in more or less the same spot and those around you know you but loads of other fans do not. its like when you go away there are more you do not recognise than you do.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

I don't think the person in question will be able to change their appearance that easily, nor will they likely want too.
In my opinion, there is a miniscule chance that they will turn up to games keeping a low profile, sit/stand in a different part of ground on their own and then go home.

Trust the people involved at the club to be very hot on this.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

If he or she had behaved they could carry on as normal guilty as charged stay away we don't want you shop em if you see em or your just as bad.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

Positive is that numerous fans reported him.

Re: Tranmere (home) thread
 

that was a damn good thing,as far as i,m concerned if the dirty sod is banned for life i wont be upset.
