big defender
 

i posted a thread a few days ago saying we need a big guy at the back like most teams have in this league , you all laughed and mocked me but what is that i read in the telegraph today ! jimmy bell saying " what we're missing is a big centre half . every team in the league seems to have one and we really need one ." i rest my case .

Re: big defender
 

i agree with you (and all your other posts) i think it is very unfair of other people on this forum to keep having a go at you, and now i see the moderators have started locking threads witch you have started, or have had your say about, please keep posting as you are one of the few people that talk any sense on here.

Re: big defender
 

no the reason his threads have been locked is that he keeps starting similar threads..also as he has stated in his first post, that he posted about this not long ago, so why didn't he just add the above comment to that thread rather than starting another???????

Re: big defender
 

We lost two goals to attackers running through the middle too fast for our center halves (Again) and one from a corner where the man on the post left his station again (That's the umpteenth time this season). When will they learn? Stay there till the ball has been cleared.

Re: big defender
 

firstly i am intitled to my say as much as any1 , this forum is like whalley pubs , very clickie . secondly i have followed this club since i was 10 years old (30 years ago ) . i take both my sons to games when iam not working but since i work in care i often take clients to stanley matches . when my first son was born i wanted to call him stanley but his mother wouldnt let me stating she would not want to be heard shouting for our stanley to come in for his tea . i only just started coming on here because now my son has got a 360 i can get on the pc . i was 1 of the few people in blackburn that didnt go and watch rovers when jack walker came in . 1 of my biggest thrills was having my son as a mascot 10 years ago my second was watching stanley get into the league and my third was trying the crossbar challenge twice around new years day end. i love the club even though i do not come from or live in accy . do i still need to buy a follow stanley sticker for my new car ? yes i do . i remember going to catch the bus at intack blackburn to go to the stanley gateshead match wearing my stanley top ( hollands pie ) and having people laugh at me , did i give a hoot ? no . did i still go when rovers where top of the prem and stanley where still wondering how to get the seats from lancashire cricket club ? yes i did and will still go even if i come home in a foul mood .

Re: big defender
 

Depeche mode you keep posting what you feel, You have a right to post what ever you want on this forum! The problem with this site is if you say something that upsets the ever decreasing Coleman bandwagon then they will try to censure your comments fair enough if you upset someone like I did then expect a rollocking and threats but there a too many people on this site who start the most pathetic/childish threads who are they to call you and try to stop them. Coleman lovers better wake up and realise not everbody loves the manager especially someone who has a go at the fans all the time.
And one final thing LOWEIY change the record we all know you are in love with coleman your diatribe that you write in the telegraph makes people want to puke, We have dwindling attendances we are in free fall down the league table its no wonder people want to have a go at the manager you get it at every failing club in the country.
Whilst we did play quite well against Lincoln our strikers looked like they couldn't score in amsterdam never mind on the pitch. FANS wether they have been coming for years or not have a right to voice their opinions and shouldn't be preached to by dilusional fans still living in the past glories of a Manager who at any other club in the country with his track record over the past two seaons would have had a size 9 up his backside and a P45 to boot. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK DEPECHE MODE

Re: big defender
 

Maybe you need to rewrite it in capital letters HR, seems it's not getting through :)

Re: big defender
 

cheers darwen red , its seems you have to have a clever quote after your name to not get slagged off on here .

Re: big defender
 

it appears to me depechmode if you are not in the click on this forum or disagree with any of them, they either close ranks on you or send silly little remarks to each other, keep up the good work

Re: big defender
 

sorry i didnt know i needed harwood reds permission before i start a new thread . anyway if you read on of my old threads which was closed ( wonder why ?) i said we need a big defender , a big kicking guy who clears the ball no hassel and thats what mr bell is saying in the telegraph .

Re: big defender
 

also how come coleman signs webb till end of season then drops the poor ****** after he signs ? also every1 could see lee McEvill was unfit and was a thug in shorts and Branch was not up to being a leftback and might be better in centre of midfield where he could use his build .

Re: big defender
 

Bad day in church ? :D

Re: big defender
 

would not know , been in accrington all day .:tongueout

Re: big defender
 

another witty reply by lancsdave , shouldnt he be presenting never mind the buzzcocks .

Re: big defender
 

Not sure, but they do sell nappies. Can I order some for you :p

Re: big defender
 

i cant see what this has to do with a big defender, unless he is incontinent, (or possibly danny ****tu is joining??? , but isn,t he a striker).

Re: big defender
 

Good on yer mate - I too sometimes get slagged off for saying what I feel, I like you couldn't give a monkey's - It is not everyone who agrees with you but some of the diatribe when you happen to say something that is not with the thinking of others then god help you (Preacherman)
I like others (including you) have been calling for the head of Mr Coleman, sentiment does not win games. But hey ho we are not the chairman of the board. so we will continue to support Stanley through thick and thin and hope that next season we will still be a league team.:enough:

Re: big defender
 

.

A Big Defender who doesn't 'clear the ball...no Hassle'...but one who can also pass the ball to a midfielder...or a Forward..and hopefully create an opportunity to achieve what we all crave for so much...A GOAL !! (for the Reds that is!).

Just thought that I'd inject a little sanity into the enthralling badinage that is being bandied around this 'going nowhere' thread....before it gets locked...and it will !!

Or does all this witty repartee indicate that Depechemode et al have no more thoughts on the subject...a very subtle ploy indeed!.

PRETENTIOUS!.....MOI ?.....ON STANLEY!.....ON !'

Re: big defender
 

It's not a question of whether or not people on the forum agree or disagree with the points that Depeche Mode is making. Like Harwood Red said its more about keep starting new threads about the same thing. Whilst you are perfectly entitled to your opinion (and that makes for good debate), you have to try to keep things together or else the whole forum just goes tits up if everybody makes new threads about the same thing rather than adding to an existing one.

When you log on at teatime after a days work and there are 15 new threads that you haven't read yet you start to plough through - then you find that the same thing is being said over and over. It's boring.

Many people agree with you that Coley has had his time, but many people also disagree. Instead of generating a thread where you might get 30 replies which may or may not be constructive, you ended up with 10 threads with 3 replies assuming that you were just a trouble maker here to wind everyone up - hence the negative karma.

As a long standing fan who remembers the good old (bad old?) days traipsing around the NPL you'll be a welcome and knowledgeable addition to the forum, but please observe the basic etiquette of this (or any) forum.

Yes, you were right about needing a big commanding centre half but then again we've needed one for years! Coley and Bell admitted as much at the forum a few weeks ago. They stopped just short of saying that Roberts and Webb hadn't been the additions that they expected them to be but did admit that recent transfers had been disappointing in general.

As for Brnach.... not my cup of tea at all but he looks comfier as part of a central trio/duo than he did at left back

Re: big defender
 

phew.. thanks macca, hope that explains it depechemode... as for asking me permission..you can if you like :D;)

It was an observation on how you post...eg. loads of new threads on very similar topics, not what you post.. I am also in the camp of everyone is entitled to an opinion and anyone who tells me different ...well ask ksh :D:p

Re: big defender
 

I locked your previous threads because they were boring and repetitive.
I sent you a pm telling you why I had locked the threads, you apologised and said your " son had been on messing around ". So which is it; are you boring and repetitive or just a liar ?:rolleyes:
( and for the record, I am no great admirer of Coley and certainly not a member of any clicque.)

Re: big defender
 

my son did the why is he not in the charlton 1st team remark . very kind of you to call a forum member a liar .

Re: big defender
 

after a hard days work il rather settle down with my kids and wife not sit and read all the post . am back at work tomorrow so il give you all a rest till friday

Re: big defender
 

if you think thats calling you a liar, let me add illiterate to the list.:rolleyes:

Re: big defender
 

very clever of you casman , do you drink in whalley too?

Re: big defender
 

Who are you calling illiterate, depechemode or lindsay because she can't spell clique?:D:D

Re: big defender
 

after the first couple of months i was thinking along the line that JC would have sussed who is not good enough . I was wrong and hold my hand up . I lost faith in JC , I liked him to have given Roberts a long run in the team but he just chopped and changed which he admits was wrong . A defence needs time to understand each other and they havnt been given time .

Re: big defender
 

Is that a cue for one of your better songs "Get the Balance right":confused:

Re: big defender
 

Very similar thinking, very similar writing style, posted 9 minutes apart in the middle of the day ? Anyone else thinking what I'm thinking ? :):)

Re: big defender
 

If you are thinking wow two people with the same views, I am thinking the same as you.

If you look closer the writing and typing style are totally different,
I bet you also think Prince Phillip had a hand in Dianas death !!!.

Re: big defender
 

I blame the Illuminati .....

Re: big defender
 

What have Blackpool to do with it?

Re: big defender
 

Hmm same people indeed . any 1 who has a view which isnt the same as lindsay isnt worth a post on here . think thats what most of you lot think , thats if you can think all by youself

Re: big defender
 

We were all thinking and posting long before you turned up. You're not saying anything new or posting any ideas that we haven't heard before. I'd suggest reading some previous threads before posting more of the same, then perhaps people would consider your 'opinion' worth reading.

Coleman is under pressure and we all know that. We just don't want to read the same thing over and over and over again.

Re: big defender
 

Going back to the thread title, what has happened to Mark Roberts?

I'm afraid that Phil Doughty just does not fit the bill at all. I have seen him in both games now - hesitant to tackle and poor distribution.

Re: big defender
 

Another great psychological ploy from the management, I don't think! How on earth are public comments like this supposed to motivate the current squad?
Not always best to tell it like it is.

Re: big defender
 

When I read this comment in't Telegraph , I thought to myself..'I hope that the reporter has got this all wrong'....they sometimes do you know!

But presuming that Jimmy Bell would have had an opportunity to correct this questionable statement....we must conclude that this is his honest opinion!.

If so, this sort of comment, as Redraine rightly says, will not only act as a demotivating influence on the other 'Defenders' in the Squad...but could also undermine what little bit of goodwill remains amongst the Supporters !
It might also sharpen the edges of the daggers waiting to be plunged into the backs of the Management team as a whole !.

So...if either JC or JB feel it necessary to issuesuch statements to the media...then perhaps a little forethought...rather than knee-jerking should be behind them!.

I'm going to take some stick now!!!...by saying that I thought that Lowey's
column in the same edition was as appropriate and near the mark as it has been for some time...there I've said it!

ON STANLEY !....ON!!!!.

Re: big defender
 

Big stronge defender we us't to have one until he had an off day,then that was it his face did'nt fit,shame really cause everyone liked him.who....MICHAEL WALCH..

Re: big defender
 

Who's MICHAEL WALCH ?

Re: big defender
 

Ok, seriously, give it a rest. Coley has done so much for this Club, you have such a short memory, you really do. He WILL keep us up AGAIN. We're a small fish in a big pond, and Coley is the man to keep us there. As for having a go at Lowiey, do you even know the man? Having an opinion is one thing, basically slagging people off is quite another.

Re: big defender
 

Maybe he's a friend of Michael Welch.... that defender we used to have who was ok in the Conference, but wasn't good enough for League 2?

Re: big defender
 

Agreed Diesel!.....This thread is hopefully about BIG DEFENDERS and Michael Walch as well!...BUT they all lead back to someone returning to the usual critique of the Manager(s) and how they should be terminated !..and it is BORING ! and in last night's 'Telegraph', Lowey made some very interesting observations regarding FAN loyalties...which is surely what is needed at this
moment in time!.

Re: big defender
 

Precisely Coley HAS done so much for this Club. What he has done is in the past. It is what is happening in the present that people are complaining about.
"As long as your past is in your present you will never have a future"

Re: big defender
 

well done JC and JB , have faith in our forwards they say and what do we get ? another stanley reject forward not a dig defender which JB said the problem was . Bloody hopeless

Re: big defender
 

I can vouch for that, I well remember our comments on Coley's man management, around the time (I think) of Rory's dissaffection with the club!!!

Re: big defender
 

i have along memory since iv been following this club for years , way back when lindsay had short back and sides .

Re: big defender
 

my memory is of the real world on the terraces not on forum pages

Re: big defender
 

so I might wake up and find this discussion has not taken place 30 times in the last week?

Re: big defender
 

am sure some one on here will be sad enough to count how many times this has come up

Re: big defender
 

Maybe, just maybe if you read some of the forum pages as well we would all be a lot happier and you would be better informed !:)

Re: big defender
 

Maybe you can put some of your memories in to the exhibition being organised :)

Re: big defender
 

So, despite all he's done, we should boot him out at the first sign of hardship? He deserves a chance after everything he's done. He is good enough to manage at this level. The Club itself is the one struggling at this level. Coley does very bloody well on limited resources.

Re: big defender
 

Good one, let's see if he/she responds!!

Re: big defender
 

Serioulsly depechemode, it seems you "just cant get enough" of moaning. ;)

Re: big defender
 

good one Alvin! you have just ensured this thread runs for another few days!!!

maybe DM is just an Exciter looking for Some Great Reward? or is a Violator using his Speak and Spell to destroy the Songs of Faith and Devotion. Definitely not an Ultra


taxi!!!

Re: big defender
 

He thinks we are staring down the "barrel of a gun " but we " suffer well". "it's no good" he is obviously a "martyr".

Anyone else???

Handy for Whalley pubs, I suppose. :)

Re: big defender
 

:eek: i bet you'd pick Rocky for every game if you could :rolleyes:

Re: big defender
 

Hehehehehe mab:D I thought Welshy was a great defender [even scored a corker] was sad to see him go, would love to have him back too.

Re: big defender
 

:) Nice enough lad always gave his all ,but wasn't scouse;)

Re: big defender
 

:rofl38: so thats why i like him;) hehehehehe, yeh he's a sound lad & gave everything he has on the pitch & reliable:mosher:

Re: big defender
 

Nice bloke, just wasn't good enough. There were games that were embarrassing to watch e.g. Rochdale away.

Re: big defender
 

To be fair, the whole team were embarrasing that day :o

Re: big defender
 

our defence is embarrasing now . Welch needed to lose a few pounds , i though McEvill was his twin when he came at the start of season .

Re: big defender
 

There's a SENSIBLE 'Defence' thread being pursued under..Mangys Back.

No slagging off of players who have no connection with the current squad...
just a few honest attempts to identify, as fans often do!...where any 'embarassments' have their beginnings...and,as fans never quite seem to manage, how they can be cured!!.

Re: big defender
 

Wow!! If Coleman would have read this forum more often and taken our advice instead of storming off in a hissy fit, he might have come to this conclusion earlier. ;) :D

Re: big defender
 

:rolleyes:mmmmmmmmmmmm the penalty that was'nt i remember it well and was he the only one to have a bad game `no'.bury away this season comes to mind:rolleyes::)

Re: big defender
 

That game stood out for me, but there were countless others. Welchy had no pace and that's what's done us time and again.

Why harbour sentiments (other than nostalgic ones) for a player that wasn't good enough for this level?

Re: big defender
 

Ernie, you are a top fella, Micheal is an top player (IMHO)

The level he can currently play at is open for discussion. Here at Accy the composition of the squad is the sole responsibility of the management.

:confused:However could you clarify your comment "it is up to the board to take the club forward"??

Again IMHO the board spend countless hours of every week driving the club forward, which I believe is a superb effort on around 1200 magnicent home fans in League 2. Yes we need to increase the fan base, but until the form at home improves is becoming increasingly difficult.

Any ideas/ suggestions are always welcome:)

New Central Defender should sign on loan this afternoon!:cool:
Interesting choice and a under 21 international!

But Michael Welch...who had good games and who made a few errors in his time....and who is a 'top fella'....has No connection with the current scene at the FES whatsoever,

Which, if you think about it, makes all these postings which either praise him or villify him, totally meaningless, and add nothing to the on-going debate regarding potential weaknesses existing in 'the Reds' Defence, and
opinions which might rectify these!.

Glad to hear from elsewhere that a signing, with the strengthening of our Defence in mind, is imminent !!.

It's happened...see t'fishy site!

Re: big defender
 

Cool another Charlton player, hey whats going on we've got a giant well in comparrison to others on our team anyway, good one coley! {should shut up the 'mode' now:tongueout lol]:D

Re: big defender
 

il see what he is like before i comment on him , but hes new to this country and league so maybe charltom have sent him here to see if he is up to this style of play in our great country

Re: big defender
 

maybe dropping rocky has done him some good. Get him back in the team.

Re: big defender
 

one thing is for sure after watchin the last few weeks it made me realise rocky isnt as bad as we think he is. he is still our best centre half.

Re: big defender
 

He wasn't dropped, he's been injured since the Peterborough game but at least maybe now some of the Rocky knockers may have realised it wasn't always his fault :rolleyes:

Re: big defender
 

totaly true hope he gets back in squad once hes fit!!!!

what i meant in my comments were i think you have enough in your locker to keep your place in the football league this season,and i am totally in agreement that the board work extremley hard to drive the club forward.for next season and future seasons the board are the people who can carry on working hard to stay in league two ,with maybe a good cup run now and then,or try and move it forward by bringing in fresh investors to try and create a bigger club ,anyway enough from me i'm sure it will work its self out .lets hope you start by getting a result tonight
