Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

doesn't matter whether it was for stanley or not, the lad was playing in our red and white until only a few weeks ago, it looks better on us if he is playing well in a higher league. We care about our players and genuinely hope they do well and want to see them do well. Where is the link?????

He may play for stanley again. If he breaks his leg tomorrow where will he end up? And with our injury problems this season I wouldn't back against it.

Just getting loan fees??? maybe at the moment, but come January we are in the money and that is why we are still talking about it. £200k is a pittance for somebody is now mixing it more than adequately in the second best tier of English football. That is more than worth talking about.

Sheffield Wednesday aren't.

Although I see that you were being sarcastic.

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

Sheffield Wednesday - really enjoyed watching them at Wembley in 1966, always make a point of letting every Wednesday fan know that, lived in Sheffield for 10 years and never saw them win.

Funny name, "Wednesday" ;) .

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

Back in the 1970's Kevin Hector was a star centre forward for Clough's championship side at Derby. How many remember that he came from Bradford Park Avenue? Did BPA a lot of good didn't it?

I was one of three Sheffield fans I know of just at the Swindon game and as is apparent from these threads a lot of fans have Stanley as their other team. I travel nearly ninety miles to home games and have seen Stanley 8 times already this season.

Expressing an attitude towards other people's northern clubs is not going to encourage the dual team supporter Eric Whalley is on record as saying the club needs. Its going to alienate them and a lot of us have wives perhaps unhappy about us being away at matches every Saturday.

Say similar about Blackburn Burnley and Man U and see what I mean.

Its good that clubs with money can see Gary Roberts play well ahead of the January window. But the likes of me watching is not going to make any difference to the eventual fee. The fee may well have been agreed anyway.

Sarcasm does not come into it. I was on Kingfield with Gary Roberts on 15 April and I think he's a top bloke.

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

You will have a lot of fun because being the top supported Football League team last season (despite struggling for most of it) there are a lot about.

Doesn't bother me though. Nine years later in Dec 1977 I saw them get knocked out of the FA Cup in the Second Round at NPL Wigan and they finished the year a win and a draw adrift at the foot of League 1. True support gathers strength from these experiences - same as Grimsby on Saturday.

They revived to finish mid table and beat the Divisional Champions in the last game.

Within this League Stanley have not sunk to those depths and I am sure they can do likewise.

Like the tongue in cheek remark about the name!

:banhat: :Banane57: :cool:

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

Thank God for that, I thought I'd come across a sensitive Wednesday fan, (first time for everything). I'm a real jinx, though, even seen them 4-1 up and draw, 3-1 up on 86 mins and lose 4-3.

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

Blimey...What was all that about.. What a Kerrfuffle !!!!

Been trying to find a link for the goal with no luck. Sorry. It may be shown on the Championship on Sunday. I have started a Stanley appreciation society down 'ere all my lads team are checking on Stanley's results now, and we have been encouraging people who are visiting the area to get along to the FES... I will be up in Feb for Stockport game. Good luck tomorrow. Hoping Gary Scores again tomorrow as we have the lot from Turd Moor visiting!!

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

Now you mention it I don't get to watch Match of the Day except the odd five minutes here and there or the Football League Review. But I like watching the Andy Townsend Programme especially if Dean Windass is on.

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

Dean Windass not normally on for that long tho' if his flying karate kick last week is anything is to go by..!!! :D :D

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

Football reviews great , Yes match of the day does make me a bit tired :sleep8: :sleep8:

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

My interest in Stanley goes back to 1964 when my dad over in Lancashire mentioned them having gone out of the league.

Coming from near Skem United I was able to follow Stanley's progress from reformation in the Ormskirk Advertiser. The name David Hargreaves was featured a lot.

Stanley were from c. 1972 my favourite non league team and from 1976 the Owls my favourite league team. Now they are both in the league I have a potential conflict which I cannot resolve. I suppose it would depend who needed the result more.

A few weeks ago I had John Coleman's interview with Radio Lancashire on my PC in my left ear and Paul Sturrock's interview with Radio Sheffield on my radio in my right ear.

I could not bear to turn either of them down even though it left me not being able to hear either of them properly.

All I can say is whilst I am delighted at the Owls' recent upturn in fortunes I am not enjoying the season at all because of Stanley's recent run of results and my worries about replacing Craney, Roberts and bolstering our attack.

It must be great just to support Accrington Stanley but with the club 44 years out of the league and the support supplemented by a good few people like myself coming from outside the club's natural catchment area I hope you can put up with us dual supporters at least until enough people from Hyndburn are prepared to fill the FES and the visitors' ends at the away games.

A Stoke supporting friend who was at the Swindon game commented on the cosmopolitan atmosphere with quite a few other clubs' supporters at the FES. Amongst these were Liverpool fans and supporters of both Sheffield clubs.

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

With a track record like that, Haggis, you're fully entitled to describe yourself as a true Stanley supporter, and anyone who suggests otherwise is an idiot.

Re: Roberts 1st Goal for Tractorboys
 

:) dont worry the season turns round now coley has unearthed some gems of players and yesterday we would have won if it wasnt for some stupid mistakes and a blind linesman and ref onwards and upwards..:Banane29: :Banane29:
