Apparnetly the linesman had a problem with his boot, or more accuratly the fact that the sole of it was hanging off!! So he went to change his boot, when he returned to the field he was wearing odd ones.

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Re: the linesman:

FACT his boot was absolutley kna**kered.

To save time he just changed the u/s one and continued with odd ones.

Assesscer was less than pleased with his timing though. Everybody thought he'd seen something extra with regards to the sending off, when all he wanted to go was change his boot!!:)

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Are you mad? Tell me Cav wasn't inspirational in our 9 in a row winning run?

Cav's done nothing? He's been club captain in our MOST successful time as a club since we reformed. I'm sure players do read this forum & I'd be appalled if Iwas Cav.........

Do we as fans really think "slagging" players off on the internet will have an positives

Shame on, not only Jeff, who likes a moan, but anyone else who bemoan players who re-wrote our history

:confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused: :(

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Fella, there's nowt brave about "tapping" a few keys....

Eric always has, always will do the best for the club. We as supporters should do waht we do best & "support".

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Sean Doherty is not one of those players who re-wrote our history and even if he was he's still shi*e. If a player is not performing including Cav, a spell in the reserves or another club is what should happen. We need points not passengers to survive.:)

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

We are all different and support our club the way we want to. If you can see a problem there is no point putting on the blinkers and blindly ignoring it, sometimes things need to be said or done or even "tapped out on a keyboard".

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

But the thing with a forum, as opposed to chatting about stuff in a pub, is that its there in print & for all to see. Barrow fans, management, players, me.....;)

I always used to laugh at clubs who had nothing but negative threads about their club & as an outsider looking at their forum it seemed the club was awash with infighting & bad vibes.

Thats how we will be perceived via accyweb in the season we are back in the football league

Enjoy it FFS, we may only be here for a year:o

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

What 9 in a row winning run are you talking about Willie ?
Last season Cav played only 23 league games. During our twenty game unbeaten league run Cav only played in seven games. I am not slagging off players I am merely stating my opinion. As for moaning you have no room to talk, moan, moan, moan about stewards at Mansfield just because they told you what to do and you didn't like it.

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

That's your opinion, and you're quite entitled to it, just as I am to mine - but Craney for captain - sorry I really can't see that. The only time I've seen him 'leading' anyone is when he jumped up on the balcony of the town hall when we won the league and that wasn't good leadership it was plain stupidity!

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Maybe he meant the one at the start of the Unibond Championship season??? Thats the last 9 wins back to back that I remember Stanley acheiving anyway - could be wrong...

If anyone cares, obviously I didnt see the whole game but my opinion on Saturdays game was that we were beaten by 2 quality finishes - perhaps the 2nd shouldnt even have been given the chance to have a pop but he was and he did and thats League footy for ya... of course in MY opinion...

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Well apparently we are not going to exsist in 2 years time anyway, so whats it matter??

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

Listen to yourselves. There's a lot of passionate Stanley supporters out there with valid points of view but all we seem to be doing is slagging each other off not only some of the players. Leave that to other clubs forums.

Anybody at Chester on the opening day should have known we were in for a long hard season. Hardly any of the current squad have played league football before and they are coming to terms with it. The Hartlepool game was a prime of example of the harsh lessons they have to learn quickly if we are to stay up. It was a game we played poorly in yet we were winning until the sending off that changed the game. The team have to grind out results when they are not playing well but instead got hit by two sucker punches. We have lost two very good players in Roberts and Barry. Haven't replaced Barry and need to replace Roberts with a quality player within budget.

Coley see's Cav nearly everyday and entrusts him with the Captaincy. If he didn't have leadership qualities then Coley would take the armband off him. I for one am looking forward to him being fit again.

C'mon Stanley!

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

maverick you're right that hardly any of the squad had played in the league.
perhaps this is where the problem lies??? a bit of experience may not have gone amiss.....but on a positive note most of the squad have aquitted themselves very well.

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

I was at Chester on the opening day and left in no doubt that the club would struggle. With their unimpressive pre - season I didn't expect Chester to be more than typical League 2, but Chester were physically very strong and seemed more effective.

So pessimistic was I after that and subsequent results that I went to Notts County in preference to a prior commitment because it was the best league ground I expected to see Stanley play at - and probably only once.

After Wrexham. our narrow late victories over Boston and Wycombe appeared to confirm the illusion that the FES was our fortress but I thought they were both the better sides on the day. Against Swindon we failed to capitalise on a good first half performance.

Against that background I was dismayed to see Gary go to Ipswich.

We are going to have to hope that Shaun Whalley and Leighton McGivern cut the mustard. We are only 4 points above the drop zone and I expect Steve Evans to keep Boston up.

:( :( :(

Re: My thoughts on yesterday (Hartlepool)
 

How true this statement is after today, who would allow a clause that lets one of our best leave on loan for a month and add a 50% split with alty if a transfer goes through to be written into a contract. :confused:
