1-0 down. Paul Furlong

What are we doing letting a footballing geriatric score?

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

At the risk of talking to myself, Barnet now down to 10, Kenny Gillet sent off for a nasty challenge on Chris Turner. Chris is okay to carry on though.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Nowt. I just heard it the radio...

Anyway it's 1-1 at the Hawthorns now.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Hi everyone !

Surely we ought to be able to beat a poor 10 man Barnet team - shouldn't we ? :eek:

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

1-1 now mullin.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Hi Spaceman - I would start to worry if we don't collect the 3 points today - see that Mullers has just equalised - let's hope we can press on now.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

We really do need a win today because Rotherham have made up the points difference, Bournemouth are 3-1 up against Wycombe and Luton are still making up ground on us. Hopefully Barnet and Grimsby will keep losing ! :)

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

come on the reds!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

notts county winning 4-2

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

By the stats, we were all over them .... two points dropped not one gained, I fear.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

First half absolute tripe spent all of half playing to narrow and passing the ball into trouble or to a man with nowhere to go.Second half slightly better and should have as they say stuck it up em. Well deserved MOM for chris Turner as he was unstoppable down the cow shed side when we started to use the wings, and a sublime cross for Mullers to pop up and score, the only problem i have is we seemed to spend to much of the game going backwards. Anyway a points a point but i seriously think we are going to have to up the anti if we are to get anything against the shrimps on tuesday because after their result today they will be well up for it.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

In reality it was a poor match that was played out between two poor teams.

The thing is, the players that were out there were the best we have and with us unable to sign anything much better, it's not looking good for the rest of the season.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

1056 OUCH...Please tell me it was a s***day weather wise?..

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Fraid not mate, sunny but cold and dry!!.............Makes you wonder why peeps aren't going huh?

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Barnet was crap slow motion team - goalie was a farse timewasting idiot! We seemed to not have turned up till 4.20pm, mainly our supporters willing with all might to play something. MY MOM was Milesy - gee once upon a time i wouldnt of dreamt it lol, i did think Kallum played rather well, a nippy player & had energy & effort!

But we didnt play well in the most, like watching paint dry, lack of commitment, flow & basics, tbh what do they do at training???

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Here's my take of the game from a neutrals point of view (I'm a Sheffield Wednesday fan who had a blank Saturday so visited as i'd never been to Accy before) :-

Well, got back from Accrington Stanley v Barnet and a surreal experience.

I spotted the ground behind a pub and set into the ground (a la Camp Nou) and so we went into the pub (about 1pm) which was virtually empty apart from a group of about 8 Accy fans in the corner who turned out to be The Accrington Stanley Supporters Norwegian Branch.

We got 2 pints and were charged £2.60 which was erm cheap and think they made a mistake cus it was £4.80 on my round.

For a pub about 50 yards from a football ground (and with a fit young barmaid) you'd have thought it would be heaving but it was empty until about 2pm when there were probably 40 people in there.

We watched the Hartlepool v West Ham game on a nice big t.v although for some reason the sound was about 5 seconds behind the picture so you'd watch a bit of action, then turn round to say something to my mate or have a drink and then you'd hear the crowd cheer as if there was a shot or something but obviously it had already happened.

The Barnet coach must have arrived cus two of their fans came into the pub.

We went in about 2:50pm on to the home end terrace (well 3 steps) which ran along the side of the pitch and very close to the touchline where the linesman could and was subject to a bit of barracking from the home fans.

Loads of flags were being waved on the home end like at a game in say Italy and there was a big flag saying Accrington Ultra's on it.

On the away end we could see 3 Barnet fans all with flags which they waved constantly for 90 minutes too.

The game kicked off and Barnet scored after 6 minutes when the home defence fell asleep and a quick free kick down Barnet's right was crossed in and headed home by Paul Furlong.

After 19 minutes Barnet's no. 3 Gillet was sent off in the far corner for a sliding lunge and then from that moment it was clear that Barnet were going to 'take their time' over everything to the annoyance of the Accy fans.

At half time they had a lucky programme draw for the chance to win £1000 by hitting the bar from the edge of the penalty area 2 out of 3 times and some suit probably out of some corporate do came on to take part (fix fix fix?)

After this they invited another couple of Under 16's to have a go but both failed as miserably as the suited guy.

Then the Norwegian contingent were invited onto the pitch to sing their Accrington Stanley chants.

Accy didn't really threaten until the second half and after 56 minutes a low cross from Chris Turner was met at the far post by Mullin to make it 1-1 and then there seemed to be only one possible winner of this game.

On 80 minutes the goal maker was substituted only for the tannoy announcer to broadcast 10 seconds later that he had been nominated man of the match which must have been a bit of an embarrassment to the Accy manager as he wasn't injured and still causing trouble down the wing.

Barnet players were still wasting lots of time and so the tannoy announcer said 'Amazingly, the referee has indicated a minimum of 3 additional minutes will be played' which was met with derision from the home fans.

All I can say is the day was 'different' in front of a crowd of 1056.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Absolutely correct.


But in our defence they came with a plan and I have to say it more than worked!!!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Wasnt a great match but id rather get a point than none at all.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

I'd like to say please come back as you picked the wrong game and we do get better but I'd be lying.:(
Out of interest how did you find this forum as the club have removed the link on the Stanley website.:(

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Cannot agree! That was 2 points lost. They were there for the taking, we just did not pressure them enough!!!!!!!!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

When we got the ball out wide we had them beaten but Colemans tactics or the players inability to carry out his instructions was why we didn't beat 10 men. Why did he take Turner off he wasn't injured and still looked full of running, we beat ourselves today.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Too true Bagpuss! Cannot afford the same on Tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

I just searched for Accrington Stanley forum in a search engine.

Why have the club removed the link?

The Wednesday forum I use Sheffield Wednesday SWFC News has had 'mis-understandings' with the club in the past which resulted in libel proceedings from our now departed Chairman and CEO (thank god) and the club has two new directors both Wednesday fans (our old Chairman and CEO were not) and have resumed links with the forum which boasts around 10,000 users and usually has over 100 online at anyone time.

Anyway back to Accy, it's sad to see the side break into the league and then suffer poor attendances.

I'm guessing alot of the youngsters in the town support Man-Ure and Blackburn amongst others.

What the club needs to do is get these youngsters in, maybe charging a £1 or £2 entrance to attract the kids and fill the ground.

Kids will always want a drink, some food so putting more money into the cluband once the kid is hooked, you've got him for life.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

We do that already for the kids! Still don't work, as you saw today.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Like the Man U reference! Ha Ha Ha

I'm guessing alot of the youngsters in the town support Man-Ure

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

What about free tickets then to the local schools?

I don't know much about Accrington to be honest and how many there are but give a different school free tickets for everyone each match.

What can the club lose?

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Nice idea! And I would imagine that one or two of the more commited members on this forum have probably suggested/tried this! Nice thought though and thanks for your interest in our club.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

No probs and hopefully I will get to visit to see my beloved Sheffield Wednesday playing at The Fraser Eagle Stadium maybe in a cup competition one day which would without a shadow of a doubt see the away end filled, even if for a friendly.

I note you play Rotherham United at The Don Valley Stadium on March 28th and as it's a free Saturday for me again probably due to an international match or something so might pop along to see The Accy's again.

Good luck for the rest of the season.

owl-zat

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Thanks for that and the same to you and The Wednesday!!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

why can't we seem to do the business at home against **** poor teams,the next few games have got to be 3 pointers.It's getting towards squeaky bum time,has anyones started squeaking cos mines heading in that general direction.Thank god some teams got points deducted or we really would be in deep doo-doo now,i know monies tight but this is the 3rd season of the same rubbish and near relegation fight,only higginbotham in and the transfer window is fast approaching closure.Either we are due some luck or something has to change sooner rather than later.


ACCY TILL I DIE.:hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidew all::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidew all::alright:

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

I know we are biased towards Accy but I am sure that we do not get the rub of the green when we play at home.

Time wasting today for example! The ref even made a point of going up to their keeper around the hour mark, but to what avail??? He and his team still carried on to waste time and no more was said!! Even when The Clayton End gave it the obligatory 6-7-8-9-10, still no card. Handball on the edge of the area (inside)in the second half,one of their defenders bear-hugging Proccy to the ground in the area when a freekick was taken and it just goes on.As I said earlier I know we are biased but we are not (unlike Barnet) cheats!!! We know that when we are beaten on a level field and by football, that we deserved it but not when we are week in, week out robbed!!!!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

nothing will/can change mate, until Eric sells out.;)

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Yes, Barnet were a bunch of timewasting cheats, and yes it was "unbelievable" in the words of our esteemed announcer, that the ref only added three minutes on...but to be honest, he could have added 30 minutes on and we still wouldn't have got another goal! Unless we get some new blood in over the next week, we're in for a very worrying three months. :eek:

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

we didnt play the football we know the team can play today! we wated to many times going back and staying around the half-way line! turner played really well and deserved MOTM, he should not of got took off miles should of got took off, even though he had a decent game, anyone see him give abuse to one of the home fans during the 2nd half! kallum played well! got pace had a few shots shame he didnt score like he did against us! coley is an abosulte legend! in clubhouse after the game and in the crown! singing on karaoke and playing blindfolded pool with us! top guy! tuesday night should be good! hopefully a better attendance proberly made up by away fans than what they had today!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Yes unfortunately today was another lack lustre dreary dull performance game by our squad...against a VERY POOR Barnet side ...but even with 10 men for most of the game could easily keep Stanley at bay...by the way the 2BR anouncer actually said INCREDIBLY only 3 minutes extra time...I DID LISTEN......mainly because there was so little to get excited about...Coley better get them sorted out for Tuesday..and hopefully bring in another GOOD loan player before it is too late...shame he mentioned on the radio that Terry Gornell was injured...but we do NEED at least 1 more good player up front..to assist Mullin...also hope his brother gets back PDQ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Pluses today were Kallum, Chris Turner, the defence and Paul Mullin for his determination to get on the score sheet. Minuses, John Miles, laziest player I have seen for a long time. Coley would have been better subbing him for Grant instead of Turner. Even the Norwegian favourite - Proccy - had a decent game. Please Please Please Coley, if you are to persist in playing John Miles, then give him a kick up the backside, because on his last 2 showings he needs it. Drifts in and out of games and looks anonymous for the most part. Very frustrating day at the FES today, but at least we got a point and moved up a place in the league (19th again), but it really should have been 3.

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

O'Neill the ex Wycombe manager who had the same number of promotions as Coley. There's a thought for you.:hehetable:hehetable

Re: Todays game Vs Barnet (match thread)
 

One game id like to forget. These are the games we HAVE to win to survive and especially 10 men barnet! They arent anything special at all and we should of won. Unfortunatly the effort i thought was in the players of Mullers, Jimmy Ryan, Miles (occasionally when felt like it) and MOM Turner. You cant expect to win when the whole team doesnt pull together and play , it just wasnt there yesterday! I just hope we dont play like this against the Shrimps or we will be buggered!

we wont be if we dont bend over:D:D:D
