Re: Rotherham today
 

Thank you LLS-same to you and yours..what is starting to scare me is the abyss we seem to be gravitating towards..

Re: Rotherham today
 

as someone once said, "don't be scared of falling - there's nothing can stop you" - duh ?

Re: Rotherham today
 

We were 10 men playing against 11 men, 2 flags and a whistle.

Ref constantly let them get away with fouls and time wasting(which they did at every opportunity since the first goal went in)

Linesman in front of me was constantly behind play, missed so much we were actually laughing, third goal should have been called off about 5 touches before the ball went in the net as their man got the ball in an offside position but the liner was behind play yet again.

Clarke's wages must be coming from Rotheram I am sure as his sole mission in the game seemed to be to run at defenders and give them the ball as quickly as humanly possible.

Coley was too slow in bringing on Mahon(at kick-off instead of Clarke would have been around the right time IMO) And Grant still simply isnt good enough for this league - lend him out to a conference side for a season and see if he comes back good, we can't afford to teach him ourselves.

Rotheram fans cannot be proud of the way their team played today and stanley deserved at least a point for dominating the game.

Re: Rotherham today
 

Bavs man of match and well deserved kept us in it in first half even though he is not fit, he hardly kicked a ball all match.The ref was the joke of the game did not have a clue PENALTY my a**e if i had been assessing for the FA he would never ref a match again an absolute disgrace As for Rotherhams time wasting antics from mid second half well enough said.Other downers stanley defense on a weekend break for the first twenty minutes and a certain Mr Clarke up front not good enough sir, stanley fans expect better either buck up or ship out

Re: Rotherham today
 

Fully agree with the last two posts. How Clarke is still getting a start is way beyond me. Welcome back Grant - his only two meaningful touches were a wayward "panic " cross and a poor shot when there were better options.

Re: Rotherham today
 

Never mind the rest of 'em but what on earth is the point of Andy Procter? I know, he scored the Stanley goal, but he is the common factor in every crap performance this season.

Re: Rotherham today
 

I dont know which game some of the previous posters were watching today but it must have been a different one than me! Point 1, for the first 20 mins or so Rotherham were going through our defenders like a got knife through butter, we couldn not get any where near them! Point 2, the penalty, YES it was a penalty, granted a very soft one, but a penalty just the same, Edwards pushed the guy with both hands right km front of the ref he had no choice but to give it, and lets be honest we would of been screaming for one if it had been against our forwards! The ref did have a mare tho as I truly believe that they should have been down to 10 men after that terrible tackle. As for Bavs well He did really well imho and really cant be faulted for the 2 goals I saw go in, the defence however were poor. Final point, yet again we proved that we can pass the ball across the field from the defence to the mid field, back to the defence and them hoof it up the park towards our forwards only to pick out one me their players 9 times out of 10,simply not good enough :( merry christmas my a****.

Why wasnt blundell playing and clarke was? Send him back to ewood , he is absolute s***e!!!

Well done to bavs , great saves! Well deserved MOM

Re: Rotherham today
 

I was there and have to agree with Cowboy. I ripped into the team on here at the start of the year (Feb) and sadly they have not got any better. :( The transfer window is looming but I dont think the money is there to buy players so it will be a case of relying on loan players ie other teams "rejects" I hope that in the New Year they have a resolution to do better. I wont say anything else as it hurts too much.

Re: Rotherham today
 

Which 30 seconds was this?

Re: Rotherham today
 

Centre circle kick off

Re: Rotherham today
 

I had a choice football or xmas shopping,no contest went to fes,maybe i should have gone shopping lol.If we get many more officials like these 3 muppets we got today then a lot of bums will be squeaking come february time,we have had some dodgy refs at the fes over the last couple of years,but this one was absolutely diabolical.90% of decisions went rotherhams way,when we pressurised them they looked very shaky.But when your playing against 14 men it becomes bloody hard,we had a few chances but on reflection the ref robbed us of at least a point,definitely a WA**ER in black.MAY THE FLEAS OF A THOUSAND CAMELS INFEST HIS UNDERWEAR.


ACCY TILL I DIE.:enough::D:D:D

Re: Rotherham today
 

The truth lies somewhere in between. For the first 20 minutes Stanley were chasing shadows and Rotherham pressured the ball all over the pitch. However, when the Reds started to turn the screw on their defence they were reduced to desperate clearances and Stanley kept sweeping forward with Jimmy Ryan, particularly, impressing. IMHO he should have been man of the match again, by the way. I thought Proccy, after a shaky start when he gave the ball away a lot, improved as the match went on. I thought we did dominate for most of the match, but without the proverbial "fox in the box" we didn't capitalise on a lot of good play. It's a pity we have two right wingers and no left wingers, as Miles rarely gets to the by-line to pull the ball back, but instead persists in coming inside on his right foot and running into traffic. I hope Mahon gets a start at Chester.

Re: Rotherham today
 

Must agree with you UK good assessment of the match and the current Stanley situation!!!!

Re: Rotherham today
 

The cold hard truth of todays game is that the players' hearts just weren't in it. Rotherham were really nothing special at all. We could've beaten them easily with the team that started had they turned up.
Only two individual performaces worth noting for me - firstly to Ian Dunbavin's brave and brilliant game, secondly John Miles' incredibly frustrating last half hour. He did not want to be there at all. He was actually avoiding being passed to.
The whole team needs confidence. You could see in the warm up that the players weren't really up for it. Rubbish game, rubbish day.

Re: Rotherham today
 

Bit harsh when he got MOTM and the whole crowd behind him.

Re: Rotherham today
 

KP he wasnt at the game so i dont know how he could say that...

Re: Rotherham today
 

Got to side with Shaker, absolutley no confidence, the performances of Charnock,King,Miles,Clarke,Murdock to name but 5 were to be honest nothing like they were weeks ago! They have lost confidence! They and most of the Team just did not seem to know to do. It does not bode well for the future when we look at the table, we have got to start winning!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:confused:

Re: Rotherham today
 

I wasn’t there, nothing new there then, but I was in Accy Cemetery for the first 15 minutes of the game, the crowd noise from the FES drifting over was evocative, forcing up the blood and making me wish I was there….the last 15 I was doing 90 up the 65 and was glad I wasn’t. There’s been promise this season and there’s been disappointment…now there needs to be Action.

For those of you singing and pushing the lads on, be proud, you on the pitch wake up, you in the dug out, get your finger out of your arse and sort this team out. Eric, get your hand in your pocket or I’ll be supporting Fylde FC next year………………….


Only Joking Eric, about Fylde FC that is………


Bav's....welcome back lad.

Re: Rotherham today
 

Seems we've gone back to our bad old ways, tapping it around in front of goal, schoolboy errors in defence, speculative punts up the field...very depressing. And as there seemed to be around 300 Rotherham fans there out of a crowd of around 1,100, it seems the Stanley faithful are voting with their feet.

And, Doug, never mind about all these grand rallying cries...get yourself down to the FES next home match!

Re: Rotherham today
 

For better or worse if I am down when a home match is on I try and attend. Yet after today I am questioning myself as why I go when the display is as bad as todays and thats without dodgy officials taken into consideration.

Re: Rotherham today
 

She...

Re: Rotherham today
 

Yes they have been on a bad run.

Like Lincoln come to think of it.

Lets not forget they have beaten a strong home side Sheffield Wednesday albeit on penalties at Hillsborough, and beaten Wolves Leeds and Southampton at the Don Valley Stadium.

I do not want to look at the League Table but it is clearly crucial what loan players we sign for the second half of the season. Hopefully Jamie will have more success under Sam than he has enjoyed with us.

Re: Rotherham today
 

i have to disagree with some of the thinngs wrote on here! first of you cant blame bavs for all 3 goals and say he was not at the game! first goal was a penalty so there was a 50/50 chance of saveing it! 2nd goal was just poor defending total left him open on the wing he passed it though the box and no one was there and he just tapped it in! bavs did some goood saves, to say he had been carrying an injury since early on in the season thats why he could not take goal kicks! jimmy ryan is turning out to be a quality player! good runs down the wing good skills aswell just we lack that final touch we pass it around to much outside the box instead of shooting or putting it in the middle! grant is a left winger just he not played much this season has he comeing to the end of last season he played very well on the wing! the confidence has proberly gone from the 5-1 last week, the defence had been playing well this season not letting alot pass and been confident and things! we do need to start winning though jamie clarke did some good runs but he falls or gets pushed of the ball to easy! you can see we miss gornell and grifiths! grifiths who used to control play in the middle and gornell i think we know why!

Re: Rotherham today
 

you go because you love stanley, though win or loss, freezing and warm, no goals, lots of goals, who cares we love stanley and i know i will be there next home game regardless of what happens

Re: Rotherham today
 

I need to get down more often. They don't lose when I watch them. I don't want to bring all my amigos down for a stag do at Chersterfield and be in danger of relegation:eek:

Re: Rotherham today
 

My lil boy just come out of hospital after a big op think my priorites were right dont u, stanley still got my money regardless whether i went or not HELLO SEASON TICKET HOLDER!!!! So think that allows my opinion dont u? So everyone thinks bavo is a better goalie .....than fero, elliot or kenny eh? Maybe u should think before yr fingers do the talking FC, i rarely miss home matches without good reason.

KP - im really surprised he got MOM, says a lot about the rest of the players when a player gets mom for letting 3 goals in & a defeat - what about proccy ? least he tried to claw a goal back.

Typical of this forum sometimes that only one view is allowed, blimey i love stanley but being realistic we can be crap at times & yet the expectation of the few is shut up & pay up while keeping the rosey specs on..........doesn't compute:mad:

Re: Rotherham today
 

Your right you ahve your priorities right and i didnt see anyone having a pop at you for not being there so i dont see what that rant was for...

who said ian is better than kenny? i have looked through the thread and i cant see anyone saying that? so again i cant see what that one is about either?

Re: Rotherham today
 

KP, please read thread again but read what u think is there as it is convienent enough to try to discredit my post, if thats the case please dont bother with reply but again i was responding to fc stanley not yourself my reply to u was discussionary not ranting.

Re: Rotherham today
 

Its an open public forum.. if you want to talk to fc in private then thats what PM is for.. while you post in public then we all have the right to reply and comment... Yes even little ol me :)

Re: Rotherham today
 

clam down! clam down! its christmas no need for arguements! no-one said bavs is better than kenny i think he should of got MOTM thought he played very well for his first game back! yeh 3 goals went past him but you got to look further than that! he did some great saves! if he would not of got it than jimmy ryan should of got it! he none stops runs and passes quailty!

Re: Rotherham today
 

Is this a shellfish comment?

Re: Rotherham today
 

Rotherham fans at the Crown on Radio Sheffield tonight
were very impressed with James Ryan praising his tireless efforts on the wing throughout the match.

One of them suggested trying to re-sign John Mullin.

Stanley were referred to as "a workmanlike side who played some good stuff but lacking a cutting edge in the match".
