Re: Craney Off??
 

Given a fair chance, Jimmy Ryan will become the new hero for Stanley fans. You read it here first. :D

Re: Craney Off??
 

or will the cow shed get on his back the first mistake he does and all his confidence goes and soon enough he goes! i hope not i think he has alot of skill to play the midfield role good luc jimmy ryan if you get the chance

Re: Craney Off??
 

:eek: have you read your post from the Aldershot game;):)

Re: Craney Off??
 

"and am only 18 so i dont have a son!"
MCR Admin, If you had not informed us about the above recently I would have mistaken you for Mr or Mrs Craney.

Re: Craney Off??
 

oops maybe i should get banned aswell than i wont have to post on this forum full of moaners trying to support craney now he has moved onto higher level! i ban myself

Re: Craney Off??
 

Stop bleating now. It's tiresome.

Re: Craney Off??
 

Obviously MCR Admin is inconsolable at this point.

Re: Craney Off??
 

Hehehe! I blame Oldgobbin for working him up. :D

Re: Craney Off??
 

Craney and Grant where the only 2 midfielders who had a good go against Aldershot.

Proctor was the liability.

I really dont understand the Craney bashing, the guy was well above league 2 standard.

Re: Craney Off??
 

nah hes just too young to see the point, any player good/bad at any lower league club has is price, n if they can get it- player goes simple as, so why bleat?:confused: even happens to most premier clubs.:rolleyes:

If ya dont like what you read here, ****** off to the Ultras forum where all in the Stanley Garden is Rosey!!!;)

Re: Craney Off??
 

Tempting ukcowboy, tempting...

Gutted we've lost Craney yet again - suppose contracts mean diddly squat these days but if its a healthy six figure sum, then I cant blame the club or the player....

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Craney Off??
 

Yep your right and looks like I'm the first.

Personnally always rated Craney when I have seen him on TV, but what have we bought?

We are crying out for a left sided midfielder/winger, have we got that?

Re: Craney Off??
 

Good Luck Ian!

Some great memories!;)

Re: Craney Off??
 

...just very few and very far between.

Polish it up all you want MCR ADIM & DAV007 but you cannot provide any evidence that Craney put any effort into playing for Stanley.
We all agree that he has an immense amount of ability to succeed, but the sheer fact is that he is a lazy player and very rarely showed that class. That is what makes him a liability and that is why many of us are glad to see him go.

On Stanley On - with players that want to play for us. (Hopefully Dons will take Miles next ;):D)

Re: Craney Off??
 

Miles is the future Shakey!

Re: Craney Off??
 

Oh I forgot... he's changed hasn't he... :D

Re: Craney Off??
 

Folk are forgetting all that Ian has done for us in ALL the years he has been with us..... Short memories people, & folk who slag him off after he has bolstered our coffers TWICE should be embarressed...... Remember the promotions & good times, remember the screamer at the Bay, dancing at Burton Albion, buying us drinks on a Tuesday in Aldershot, the celebrations on the town hall balcony, his screamer against Rotherham, standin up for Bavs in Hereford bar etc etc.....

A legend

All the Best Ian, thanks for the money & the memories now do yourself proud at Tudders....

Re: Craney Off??
 

Apppleeees!

Re: Craney Off??
 

Ian is a top bloke a a great player and i wish him all the best.

What i am upset about is Andy Procters name being dragged through the mud!

A great player who always gives 110%

nobody minded him when he scored VERY important goals Barnet away last min winner.
Macc at home season before last 2-1 down up pops the doctor scores 2 crackers to keep us in the league.
Andy Procter a Stanley Legend!!!!!!

good look Ian John Mullin, Jimmy Ryan and soon Chris Turner are all good enough to fill the space left

Re: Craney Off??
 

agree 100%

hope you go all the way Ian all the best

Re: Craney Off??
 

the words of a proper accrington stanley fan!

Re: Craney Off??
 

nice one AP6 ;)

I dont think anyone was having a go at uhim but drawing a comparison that a ball winning engine type player is not expected to weigh in with goals whereas you might expect a creative player as highly rated as IC to score more often.

Andy Proctor and Ian Craney are two very different types of player and a comparison cannot be drawn other than on workrate. And number six wins hands down on that one

Re: Craney Off??
 

& while I'm at it

1. Many folk who comment have seen LESS THAN 30% of his minutes in an Accy shirt. (this season)
2. If it was for Ian, we may be playing Barrow this season & never ever achieved League Status

Thats all

Re: Craney Off??

Re: Craney Off??
 

:confused:WHAT!!!:)

Re: Craney Off??
 

Already posted my opinion but put it on under football thread so not to aggrivate the powers that be :) Its one of them things you have to get used to loosing a cool player.We did close season with 2 leaving to close rivals Bradford Park Avenue.It happens get used to it its football.Stands bye for neg Karma :rolleyes: well we can all play that game :rolleyes:.Unless you have money you cant keep hold of your star players.Get your scouts down to BPA and no Im not a fan obviously I hate them :)

Re: Craney Off??
 

I Second That ;)

Re: Craney Off??
 

I, as you, have my own opinions on Ian Craney. I have never liked him as a footballer from when he first came to us right up to the present day. The reason for this is I loathe seeing players with acres of ability wasting that talent by just being lazy. I don't doubt the genuine ability Ian possesses but he lacks the consistant effort and application. If you want me to list Ian's possitives i will but they will forever be outweighed for me by his negatives.

And may i ask what the hell any of this has to do with the ladies team? I wouldn't start comparing Craney to any of our girls if I were you, the girls may not possesses anywhere near the quality that Ian is gifted with, but I'll tell you now you'll not find any of them lazy or lacking in effort or determination. So don't even bother to bring the girls into this.


As for Ian bringing in 2 transfer fees, (less the £85000 to bring him back) I honesty thank Ian for that, and moreover Swasea and Huddersfield, for taking him off our hands!!! But I'd have thanked him more if he'd turned in consistant 100% effort performances for us while he's been here.

Forgive me but I really cant see what the above has to do with my post. Either you are corresponding in a language that only you understand or you genuinely feel that you have added both depth and wisdom to this thread, in which case I must enroll in an english language course come September !

Re: Craney Off??
 

......should have also said that his wages of £1800 per week with you guys was something that we wouldn't have agreed to.....as we've already got guys on or near that figure and IC's would have taken us over the leagues rules re: wage cap.

Saved yourself a bob or two, which may be the real reason behind his move.

Re: Craney Off??
 

Some very interesting (and contrasting!) views here!

Mr. Craney's departure is going to be a feature on 2BR Sport this Saturday and we're after your views on the situation: drop us an email - [email protected] with your thoughts on his departure and who should come in to replace him.

Looking forward to hearing from some of you

Re: Craney Off??
 

:eek: 1800 a week are you sure about that CC!!Bloomin hell if thats what he was on, that will free up some cash for the club:)

Re: Craney Off??
 

"£200,000 plus"

Craney deal! - Huddersfield Examiner

Re: Craney Off??
 

good luck and thanks 4 the money 4 the seats and you be back for cut price in the jan 09

Re: Craney Off??
 

You chicken. You're nothing but a Pongo from the Congo.

This is an Accrington Stanley forum. How dare you so much as utter the name of another team on here? If that's the way you want to act go and get your own forum.:rolleyes::rolleyes:

Re: Craney Off??
 

Craney natters

nice little interview.

Re: Craney Off??
 

:)Could it be that Gary Roberts had a hand in the move;)Good look to you Ian and Gary:)

Re: Craney Off??
 

bad for the team
good for the finances
every single team in this country have to do it apart from man utd, chelsea and liverpool
selling your best players is part of football for the rest

Re: Craney Off??
 

ah good to see a realist.;)

Re: Craney Off??
 

Re: Craney Off??
 

Whilst I'm sorry to see Craney leave, numerous positive points seem to outweigh the negative points in this deal.

£200K plus (if the "undisclosed figure / fee is to be believed )towards funding the building work that needs to be completed and no doubt a large wagebill off the payroll for a player who only seemingly had 12 months left on his contract,would seem to be a good bit of business.We have to face facts that we are a Selling club and in this case, unfortanetely the present financial situation at the club and faced with the offer on the table...needs must. And this time Alty don't get a large cut of the pie.:o

Negatives....We've lost a player who had undoubted ability, that some may argue he never properly showed to his true potential.The lad gave us all plenty of good memories and was an INTEGRAL part of our rise back to the football league. I for one thank him for the memories and wish him all the best.:(

After reading the squabbling that this forum seems to have descended into following Craney's sale, one fact remains.

We are now another player light in a considerably depleted squad. No matter which way you look at it, with Grant out injured for what seems to be four to six weeks and the closure of the transfer window looming ever larger, my only hope is, that whatever slice of the available funds can be afforded to Coleman is used to bring in a replacement, possibly two, who can help to strengthen the squad. After all, remember the disastrous run of form we had in our first season back in the league after the sale of Roberts and Craney.

True, we may have a points cushion now, due to three rival clubs facing points penalties due to their own financial problems, but I for one wouldn't want the club to rely on that situation to ensure a fourth season of league football.

As for the squabbling.........division and a lack of unity between supporters only creates negative vibes, which, I for one am sure the players may possibly be able to pick up on.

All in all, division, lack of unity between fans..... Hardly motivation is it ???:o

Re: Craney Off??
 

£200k+ ?:D:D:D

Re: Craney Off??
 

Less the £20,000 cut that Swansea get.

Re: Craney Off??
 

Where'd ya get that from ?

Re: Craney Off??
 

It seems to be general knowledge in South Wales. I can only assume that it's a 10% cut.

Re: Craney Off??
 

TM is correct:

Swans boss Martinez makes new keeper a priority

Re: Craney Off??
 

Spoke to a Huddersfield fan over lunch in Leeds today.

He said Gary Roberts is a good player but his view of Craney was reminiscent of Swansea fans' views seen on their League 1 blogs.
