Having said all that, if we can play like this on Saturday & get three points against the fishermen I'll be happy - well done lads, you were robbed!

Sorry AccyMad I have to take issue here. Stanley were brilliant in the first half but somehow managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory in the second. OK their second goal may have been handball, but at the end of the day - we should not have been in that position. As the Oldham fans were singing 2-0 and we ****** it up. Yes we should have had at least one if not two penalties in the second half, but as I have said before we should not have been in that position. Some of the blatant fouls by Oldham that were being overlooked by the official(s) were amazing and how at least one if not two Oldham players stayed on the pitch I do not know. The penalty incident in the first half, he was last defender and skinned by Roscoe, he should have walked and when Mullers got booked I could not believe it, it was clearly a foul against him. So Grimsby on Saturday, I am beginning to think their is a conspiracy by the FA or FL against Accy to try and get them out of the league!
