Player of the Year voting
 

There will be people at the turnstiles on saturday handing out voting slips for Player of the Year, Young Player of the Year and Supporter of the Year.

Player of the Year criteria is that they must have played more than 20 games this season so the list is:

Arthur
Roberts
Craney
Richardson
Edwards
Dunbavin
Harris
Proctor
Williams
Mullin

Young Player of the Year was a little trickier owing to ages and few games played etc. Final Criteria was that they must be 23 or under and have played 5 games or more. Final selection is:

McGivern
Mannix
Whalley
Edwards
Harris

Supporter of the Year can only be voted for by OSC members. You must write either your membership number or name on the slip so that we can verify the vote.

Further reminder that the Presentation Night will take place on the 3rd May in the Clubhouse after the Bury game.

Doors open at 7:30pm and tickets are priced at a fiver. John Coleman has informed the squad that they must attend. Once the tickets have sold there will be no more admitted so please get your tickets early to avoid disappointment

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Macca, what time do you need us there for the slip handing out thingy - about 1 ish be ok?

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Good question..or do we submit a proxy:D

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

1pm will do for me AccyMad. I'll see you down there

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

theres not 1 that springs out at you. probably mullin for his loyalty and 110% effort and work rate.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I gotta agree with that 100%

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Personally I would say there are a few candidates - Phil Edwards, Kenny Arthur and Leam Richardson for three

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

well make sure you fill in your slips tomorrow :D

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

wheres graham branch?

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

thanks to all that did actually vote today.

Official crowd was 1288 and we received about 450 voting slips back, so thats not too bad - about 1 in 2 (and a little bit).

When the votes are released there will be people who disagree but maybe they should have voted? It was very tight and there was only 13 votes between 1st and 3rd for main Player of the Year. Young player of the year was even tighter. Only 4 votes separated 1st and 2nd and forced a recount.

Supporter of the Year was even funnier (IMHO). People who do go to meetings and know what was going on didn't vote, people voted for themselves, people voted legitimately but didn't put their names or numbers down etc. Next season Supporter of the Year will definitely be done by post to members only.

Anyroad, the results will be made known at the Presentation Night on the 3rd May after the Bury match, tickets available now for £5 from the club bar and shop, The Crown and the three area shops of Buy the House.



thanks again to those who voted

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

think authur will not be here next season .

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I voted for Edwards as young player of the year and Arthur for the main award. I couldn't see any other choice.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Snap, although it was hard choosing between Leam and Kenny.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I Voted Harris For Young Player And Richardson For The Main Award.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I'd have voted for Roberts and McGivern, but was afraid of the "Coley is God" brigade getting on my case. :rolleyes:

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Ummmm i wasn't able to go so do i not get a vote is it too late ??

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I went for Mullin, as he as consistantley given 110% in most games, i went for Harris as Young player as again he as given in 110% in most games, ok he`s got a bit to learn yet but i like players that show they are willing to give it their all for the team.
Kenny Arthur would have got my vote but i think Mullin just edged it for me.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

After watching todays game, I wouldn't give any of them my vote, even if I had got a voting slip. No passion, no effort and no damn good.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

went for leam and harris

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I don't know how anyone can vote for Harris. Since the turn of the year, and especially over the last 2 months, he's been a liability. Harris used to do 2 things very well. He'd run his heart out every game and he'd tackle like a man possessed. Something has happened, as he hasn't done either of these things for a long time now.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

the one thing that amazed me when checking through the slips was that people would vote for Edwards as Player of the Year but not as Young Player of the Year!!!! Same again for Harris!!!!

if one of them was overall Player of the Year then surely they would be Young Player of the Year?

Roberts and McGivern did get votes Ozzy, did they get enough to win an award? we'll see.



Sorry to those that didn't get a vote but we did try to get around everybody. One or two people did try to give us slips after the game but by then they had been counted and verified. We couldn't possibly have left it longer and longer as the votes had to be counted whilst people were there to adjudicate any discrepancies.

Same goes for Proxy votes as well really, in a handful of instances where we know who you are the vote could possibly have been taken - but in other instances you may have been entitling yourself to two votes and that would not have been in the best interests of the vote.

If anyone knows any better ways of doing things next season then I am sure there will be people willing to listen to offers of help. :D

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Exactly. That's why I voted for Phil Edwards in both categories.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Isn't it Ironic, that the Defence seem to be getting the most votes. :rolleyes:;)

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

but nobody has actually said that Redash!

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Just going off what people have said on here. :)

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

our collective defence has conceded far too many goals

the midfield has neither supported the defence nor the attack

the attack hasn't scored enough goals

leaves very few to actually say "you've had a good season son"

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

leam always gives 100 percent , harris plays with his heart . how any 1 can vote for authur , injured half of season and still concedes soft goals . think he will be gone end of season , think he only came here to make name for himself .

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Harris isn't half the player he was and he wasn't much when he was good.

Arthur has made a difference at the back, but he can't do it all on his own.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

neither could Ian .

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

mullin is our rightback,leftback,centrehalf,rightwing,left wing and striker if every player had his effort and stamina we would walk this league. the others just stand there scratching there arse waiting for someone else to do the work. Im afraid to say they dont train hard enough because our fitness levels this season apart from mullin have been well under par. If any fathers take there lads to see and learn qualities to enhance there game then there in the wrong place because most of them cant even kick the ball straight let alone unveil a modest step over. How some of these players (not just stanley) made it i do not know, it must be the old cliche ''its who you know not what you know''.

will i still go and pay my money on this tripe? probably:(

You have to pay 1 million for a player to be able to trap the ball. - Ron Atkinson.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

here here

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Im very miffed about not being able to vote - seems to have all been very rushed to me, last year i got asked for my vote - this year not a wifff, couldnt make it to the match last minute & yet still denied a vote despite being a OSC member, im sorry i went on me jollys when all this was posted earlier in the week but something could of been mentioned before i went or asked by many other mediums to ensure :(:(

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I'm not sure I agree with the conclusion. If every player had PM's effort and stamina, we would have 11 hard-working, hard-running players - maybe even marathon athletes - but not a winning football team. But what about tactics? What about the basic skills of football? What about the ability and guile to create an extra couple of yards of space? What about organising these 11 hard-working and hard-running individuals into a cohesive team, able to see and exploit weaknesses in the opposition?

In fact, I would go further and say that Paul Mullin's prodigious efforts in all areas of the field are not necessarily to our advantage. Our main striker should be in a position to do just that - strike - at every possible opportunity.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Think too much is demanded of Mully a massive expectation think altho he always gives 100% no denying it, he hasn't been a strong enough for the player of the year, mine would of gone to Liam Richardson think he has been the most consistant throughout the season.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Not necessarily, given that McGivern, Mannix and Whalley weren't in the list for Player of the Year. :o

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Young player of the year i would of liked to of seen Bobby Grant in there he'd of got my vote not that i can anyhow :D

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ing-38285.html see post 7 dated 6/4/8 Stanleymad. Alsoo discussed at March and February OSC meetings, at which you were present for both :p.

As I said though, you can't please everyone and neither can you wait for everyone (not just you, but others who said they wanted to doit after the game yesterday). Me and Harwood Red spent an hour and a half going through the slips yesterday and most all but the last 15/20 minutes of the game. Had we done it after the game it would have took a lot longer because of the noise etc so we would have had to have had a separate meet to determine the winners - and then may have had to drag somebody else in had the voting determined that. As you well know, we spend enough time doing things to have to add something else to the list.

And the other thing was that we needed to let the person who does the engraving know yesterday to allow her enough time to get them done.

Once again, sorry to those that did miss out, but over a 1000 people were given the opportunity.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Post of the year for me, is this! Surely we don't need to pay a fortune for a few players with a little bit of the old magic in their feet, as we have had in the past.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Alf Ramsay said of his 66 team ,these are not necessarily the best individual players in the country,but I consider them to be collectivley the best team.
It is surprising what success a well organised team can achieve without world class individuals.
The old Wimbledon side and todays Everton are good examples. Of course we at Stanley
will always struggle to attract top players, but if the Manager can mould the side and get them playing for him,give them some pride and instill some team ethic, we should be able to mantain A midtable position Quite easily next season.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

That is very true. Paul Fairclough at Barnet has achieved that and on a limited budget he has moulded a half-decent team. I suppose his contacts through the England C team has helped, plus a good technical mind.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Don't forget the Hereford boss, who has achieved great things this season without spending ANY money at all, I think. A marvellous achievement, considering they only had about 5 players on contract after shipping out a load of dead wood in the close season. He must have a hell of a coaching set up.

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

Hereford basically loaned 3/4 of a squad didn't they? I've nowt against it because anyone can do it but of course you do have to be lucky with the players you get in. The downside if they do go up (or even if they stay down) is that they will have to rebuild the squad again regardless. Some of the loanees may stay but I suspect that as part of a successful team their parent club will want them back.

No continuity

Re: Player of the Year voting
 

I think they had 7 on loan max., but the point is Turner has the ability to get the best out of his squad no matter how it is acquired. We forever seem to let good players come and go without getting the best from them.
