Accy Observer
 

For all those people who said forgive and forget after the attack the Observer made on the club and players instead of celebrating our promotion last season.. Take a look at ths weeks observer.....

A football hooligan whos supports Leeds was arrested at a Burnley v derby game.. But it would seem because he lives in Accy he has been branded an Accy Stanley Yob.. even big headlines saying that.. Some of the content suggests he was part of a larger set of Stanley yobs who tried to attack away supporters last season.. How bad does that make Stanley look ?:(

Re: Accy Observer
 

I have not seen it yet but is it true? how do we know?

Re: Accy Observer
 

Is what true? .. I read it.. it puts the club in a bad light and I see the club have now issues a statement on the front page of official site

Dunno if what hapened is true or not mate... But we do know there isnt a gang of accy yobs trying to fight apposing supporters dont we.. and thats what they wrote...

Gotta say I am suprised they printed it.. amazed in fact :(

Re: Accy Observer
 

Is anything about my fans team in?

Re: Accy Observer
 

Kipax - Is this you reporting things from the official Stanley website ?

Re: Accy Observer

Re: Accy Observer
 

Think I read somewhere about a grey haired old man in the fans team who did the job of eleven men....

Is that in the Observer.

I havent even written the match report yet jase

Re: Accy Observer
 

Your right kipax it is a disgrace, they repeatedly refer to "accrington stanley HOOLIGANS" as if it is fact and even refer to this phrase as coming from the police!!!.

I hope the club do something about this SLANDER :(

Problem is muck STICKS !! and this is dirty muck will make a right mess :(

Re: Accy Observer
 

only shurm is the hooligan :)

Re: Accy Observer
 

yes but only on a thursday night at football training!!!!!!

Re: Accy Observer
 

I know the guy in question and he is a Leeds and England thug, the only time he goes to Stanley is for the big cup games where there might be trouble. I remember a few years ago when he was first to be arrested at a cup game v Fleetwood it was the first game my wife had seen and she was discussed by his behaviour and hasn't been back since. As you said just because he lives in Accrington there was no need to link him to Stanley.

Re: Accy Observer
 

This was reported in the Observer and the Telegraph last week.

Re: Accy Observer
 

Slander slander wheres my solicitor ............ cheers Loweiy :confused: what do you mean at training hehehehe :)

Re: Accy Observer
 

I am disapointed with this being in the locals, but on the other side of the coin the papers are only reporting on what the police have said. Considering that the numbskull in question is a Leeds fan and was arrested in Burnley after a match with Derby I find the police statement beyond belief. If he lived in Padiham would the police have called him a 'Padiham FC Hooligan'??? I think not.....
