Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

As the title suggests, if you can't make the game tomorrow, then there's full match commentary on 99.8FM 2BR.

I'll try to do my best on all the trialists etc.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

I might have to tune in too. Unsure of whether I will be able to make it. Someone decided that they would like to have a really really close inspection of the rear of my car today so will have to see how I feel when I wake up in morning :(

3 -2 to Burnley at full time.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Steve Jones was the big difference today (23 for them). Everything that went to him resulted in something. They kept possession really well in the second half, Cav had a good battle with their leftie but wasted the ball on the occasions that he won it. NOthing happened for us up front in the 2nd half but in the first half Roberts was excellent (got sponsors M.O.M) and Mangan was good as well. He seemed to be a lot more aware of what was around him than last seasons head down and run charges. Sean The Doc looked good as well in t'second half. A good number of excellent challenges in the second half as well. Elliot played the first half and was commanding as usual. Fearo played the second half and showed some good distribution but was at fault for the first two goals IMHO. Good save from a free kick but wasn't up quick enough to close down for the rebound. Second goal could have come out a bit quicker. In saying that the defence were given the run around from a good forward line and left him a little exposed. The third goal was a wonderful free kick that would have beaten many a more experienced keeper.

Summary
Stanley Reserves 2 Burnley reserves 0 in the first half
Stanley 1st XI 0 Burnley 1st XI 3 in the second half.

That Burnley first team fully deserved to beat us and would have won by a landslide if they had played the whole game, but as far as strength in depth is concerned, its no wonder they aren't having a reserve team this year.

But it was the first game back.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

I would totally agree with the gentleman in the black bra. Overall a good afternoon, Nice to be back.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Don't know which match you was watching Maccawozzagod, but from where I was sitting both Rocky and Cav looked a yard slow, Sean never got a decent pass throughout the whole of the 2nd half to show us what he is made of, although when he did run at defenders with the ball, he frightened the hell out of them. In the first half, Stanley's no 6 and 10 looked half decent and certainly worth another look at, also the no 15 in the second half looked a possible useful partner for PM when he gets back.Liked the way Sean and Andy swapped sides during the second half, but for some reason, we don't like playing the ball out to the left winger whoever it may be (recall something similar couple of seasons ago with McEvilly and Rory - led to bad blood between them.Julian N'da looked decent in defence. I don't think you can blame Martin for 2 of the goals either. the 2 free kicks were perlers, but with the first, where were the defence to back him up when it came out off the bar/post, the Burnley player had a free header! To me, that second half was worrying, however, only time will tell. Thought the crowd was a few more that 1700 as well (like 1,000 more). I would suggest the Blackburn match is fully segregated to stop incidences like we had today. It is no good stating that the ground is now segregated half way through the first half, when no-one could get to the bar. This is what caused the problem. Would also suggest full height gates at the Clayton end of the main stand otherwise Stewards are going to get thumped/abused on a regular basis. All in all a good day and a useful exercise spoiled by one or two nerds in Burnley shirts.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

your summary is similar to mine Ozzy, I weren't gonna comment on physical fitness though as the point of these matches is to regain it.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

I dont know what match he was watching either... had he turned his head slightly to one side he would have seen Fearon watching the game not ten yards from him.... Bit harsh blaming him for two goals :)

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

What was the trouble with the Clarrot knuckle draggers all about?...nothing serious I hope.

1,700 eh......should see a 'few' more on the 19th!!!!:cool: ;) :not_ripe:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

They wanted a pint at half time and weren't happy about the gate being closed.
1709? I thought there was more than that on, maybe some of the dingles jumped the fence eh :)

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Christ, couldn't wait to put the boot in, eh? I wonder if you'll be so quick to post stuff like that if a) Rovers don't bring as many as Burnley or b) Blackburn fans cause trouble as well

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Looks like the only folk 'putting the boot in' were the usual suspects!

How many did they bring?

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Theres no official figure, as there was no segregation. CVhrist knows why, we should pen them in the cow shed next time we play 'em. Can't be trusted..

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

we will bring more than what the attendence was today:Banane25:

also i wouldnt be surprised if some dingles turn up for our game

its been discussed on our forums that no segregation is quite silly

looks like it was a good game today though, plenty of goals

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

It was Burnley hols though the attendance was down on both sides really certainly compared to last year, altho the attitude was certainly that it was a friendly.

As for the hooliganism suggested yeh a couple in Burnley shirts was involved in a scuffle with security simply stupid fault of tannoy announcing segregation into last 5mins of 1st half which i think they were meaning to stop movement till half is over not to acually segregate stupid really to announce it once deed was done & all stands were virtually mixed - even the stewards were bemused with the announcement:rolleyes: other than that little bit no further trouble & back to the normality of friendly match:D

Ps glad to finally hear the tannoy, least we have a decent system than before:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

but thats is definatly louder than the drum!!! so is the club now waiting for the compliants to come in?

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Good point there :)

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Good point gawd more for the residents to winge about:eek:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

...and no sign of a bar behind the Clayton End!!! :( :( :(

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

oops. Well it looke dlike him to me from a distance. Oh well, I don't need to be as polite now. I thought that mon was dire. Too slow and little movement. Decent shotstopping though.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

He was poor. Couldn't react quick enough for 1st goal, got meggsed for 2nd. Il, let him off for 3rd. ;)

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

I think you are a little harsh there in all fairness Aaron made a fantastic save just a couple of secs before the 1st goal, he's only an inexperienced youngster guarding net against championship players!!!!

Hard to completely judge someone on 45mins in all fairness.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

*Shock horror* Is that that typical Blackburn arrogance shining through...? I'll tell you what it is, mate. You are, and always will be, a Club living beyond your means. The dream will blow up in your face, and before you know it, Burnley fans will be talking like you are now. You're a second division Club really, and I guarantee you, I will see Stanley play Blackburn in the league before I die. I also know we'll play Burnley in the league before I'm 32. May come as a suprise to you, but we're not a little club anymore, and we'll take our rightful place alongside Burnley and Blackburn, as we did before 1962. Christ, I hate Blackburn and Burnley, with a friggin' passion :mad:

Oh, and as for that huge following you're bringing, where were they the season before last, and the first season in the 1st division a few years back? Your Club is an absolute joke pal :rolleyes:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

What Slater Scott was in no way arrogant.I doubt his non quoted dream will blow up in his face, indeed I wonder what his dream this actually is, as he does not mention one in his post. Blackburn a second Div club really, that's also a meaningless statement now as 2nd div club is open to much interpretation. Stanley to play Rovers an Burnley in the league before you die, well as long as you are Dr Who, maybe.
And as for Blackburns following, well wait and see . Wait and see.
Bitter-yes you are.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

What dream!!? 2nd division club? What the hell does that mean these days? Stanley to play Burnley and Rovers in the league in next 40 years? Ha! OK!
And as for the Rovers following, wait and see, just wait and see.

Like the murphys, you're not bitter!

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

In no way arrogant? What planet are you from? He reckons Blackburn will bring more than the whole of the Stanley v Burnley attendance. As for the dream, Blackburn are living it, playing the biggest Clubs in England and a few from around Europe next season, but it won't last. As for never playing Blackburn or Burnley in the League in my lifetime, perhaps people like you told people like Jack Barret that he'd never see Stanley play in the League again. And as for Blackburns following? Well, I don't doubt that they'll bring a few, but if this had been one of Blackburns leaner seasons, you'd have brought hardly anybody. You're so damned fickle. We will play Blackburn and Burnley in the League though. To Dream the Impossible Dream :engsmil:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Oh, and for the record, you're posts came across as arrogant as well. Blackburn fans, eh? Just can't help yourselves.

Just keep looking down your nose, 'cos we'll get the last laugh. Might take a years, but we'll get the last laugh.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Todays attendace 1700 odd. Rovers allocation for Stanley-2,500.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

It's called winning matches. The more you win, the higher in the league you get. Eventually you qualify for UEFA games. Well, in Rovers case, two games a season, home and away!

And I agree, dream the impossible dream. We did, and look at as now!!!

:)

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

No, Jack Walker paid for your 'Impossible Dream'

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

...and Eric has payed for ours :rolleyes:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Don't get me wrong - can't stand Rovers/their fans...the boring sods that be.

But we can't really use Jack Walker's injection of money as an insult.

Albeit; his money only fuelled one season of success ...& Kevin Davies :laugh8::rofl38:
Eric's money has fuelled over 10 years & counting of ongoing success :D

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

You do know Jack Walker died 6 years ago? And with it any significant instant cash injections for players?

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

I don't think you can even compare the two, Jack Walker broke transfer records left, right and centre. He paid top dollar for players, and probably had a ridiculous wage bill to boot. Eric, on the other hand, is just a very astute buisness man. Look at the deal we have with Fraser Eagle, as well as a huge cash injection to have their name emblazoned on our tops, they also provide transport free of charge. I don't know too much about Coaches, but I make that out to be a very good deal. And considering we still don't have a roof, Erics not exactly splashing the cash, is he?

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

So Walker didn't leave a lump sum of cash to Blackburn when he died? Could've swore I heard different...

Diesel I didn't intend to compare Whalley to Walker - I was saying that we can't use Walker's vast cash injection as an insult to Rovers when Eric's money (aswell as good business) has played an integral part in our resurrection. :)

Anyway, why argue; Rovers are going nowhere...the intertoto cup will be their only annual holidays for decades to come :D
Honestly; I don't know how you blues don't suffer chronic boredom from it all!

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Bloody hell Diesel whats the problem? :confused:

Who's looking down at,taking the mickey out of Stanley?......Rovers fans are glad to see you back in the league and many will go and support you when Rovers are away down south.

Whats with having a pop at our support and Walkers money?

Strange.


''we will bring more than what the attendence was today''


In all honesty he may well be right but that is in no way meant to be arrogant...it will only benefit the coffers of Stanley.It will be a good evening and we should all be looking forward to it.:Banane25:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Eric has helped the club to become self-sustainable. He is by no means dipping into his own pocket all the time, as some of you suggest. He puts as much enthusiasm and passion into the club as he does money. And it's a sorry state of affairs if any club has to be dependant on a rich backer to keep going.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

THE BLUE 'N' WHITES, try reading some of the posts first, the above being one of many.

So, according to Ozz, either Stanley have no chance of progressing further, which in my book, is looking down his nose at us. Or he thinks that Blackburn are so big, they'll never go down (Nottingham Forest, Leeds United, West Ham anybody?), which in my book, is arrogance. I try not to tar you all with the same brush, but it is quite bloody difficult with pillocks like that.

Why exactly does he think we won't play Burnley or Blackburn? Maybe he'd like to explain...?

Blackburn, fair enough, have a much larger town and bigger catchment area than us, but Burnley certainly don't, and they're in the Championship! So why can't we go as far as Burnley?

At the end of the day, I am of the personal opinion we'll play both Clubs in League matches one day. I'm also of the personal opinion that Blackburn fans are snooty and arrogant, and Burnley fans are thick idiots who can't handle their drink.

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Rob has fequently said he believs Accrington could sustain a decent Championship team, and he's right. Look at the likes of Rotherham and Crewe. They lived the dream, and as a club we've got far more potential then they ever did. And just for the Rovers/Burnley fans we have no debt and we own our own stadium.;)

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

Do we actually own the Stadium Alvin? I'm not 100% on the business side of the Club, sure somebody will enlighten me though

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

I think so. Not like Burnley who have to sell theirs and then lease it back.

PS: Anyone else notice the IES sign was still up?

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

I really hope Stanley do well, an was genuinely chuffed to see them get back in the league. I get the feeling that you feel the same way about Rovers, that Rovers feel about Chelsea, Liverpool, United etc. Their arrogance and snootiness gets on Rovers fans nerves just as we do to you.
We all have our chips on our shoulders to bear.;)

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

i dont reckon we will bring more than 1,700

i know, weve already sold around 1,000 tickets at LEAST

and yes i am living the dream, and i know its unlikely to last, as stanley zoom past us in the leagues:rolleyes:

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

i`ll think you`ll find burnley have the biggest catchment, nelson, pendle, colne, burnley, the rest of the towns around that area, no big teams to the right hand side of them till, bradford/leeds

Re: Stanley v Burnley - Commentary on 2BR
 

As much as I hate to drag this back to the topic of the thread, did anyone listen to the coverage?

I'm after some feedback (good or bad; it doesn't matter. Will help me learn for next time I get the opportunity)

If you listened, your comments would be welcome.

Good post this, Erics astute dealings in the transfer market (along with the Gaffer) as well as managing the ongoing club improvements is first class.

The clubs history tells us all steady progress and a healthy cash flow is much better than boom and bust.

Give us a green to Bayer !! :D
