Today's match at Grimsby
 

Team (from Grimsby's site): Kenny, Cav, Murdock, Proccy, Miles, Lindfield, Edwards, Ryan, Rocky, Turner, Symes. Bench: Hibbert, Bell, Grant, Kay, Mullin

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Disappointed to see Cav and Rocky playing, but hey ho - personally I would have played Kay and Bell with McConville on the bench plus one other Burey? Least there was some good news this afternoon with Liverpool beating Blackburn 4-0 and Preston losing to Blackpool.

Posted via Mobile Device. Why have a young prospect loaned from burnley & not play him, & others on the bench over shamed players ??? Gonna be fun if we lose anyway lol

0-2 to Macc at Chester. Safety looms.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

well if the scoreline stays the same for both matches we're home and dry as I can't see chester making that goal difference up :)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

From Compass FM: 'Miles is breaking through at every opportunity'.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Michael Welch just scored for Altrincham against Kidderminster

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

port vale now losing 0-1

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Apparently a close-range header.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Half time - suppose 0-0 is a decent half time score for us. lets hope for goals for Stanley in the second half as long as the goals against says nil

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Notts County losing at Don Valley - it would move us up to 16th if scores stay as they are.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Half time: 0-0. 'All action' according to the radio. 'Entertaining'. Murdock and Cav picking up lots of balls in the air.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby

Good win today! Can look foward to rest of the games now and enjoy them without worring about other teams! Chester should be another good game! Maybe infront of 2k if the weather is nice!

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Was Cav captain!!!

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Followed right behind the 2br car into Grimsby and Cleethorpes on my motorbike. They turned off right to park just before Mcdonalds.

Just motorcycled home.

Great performance in front of over 6300 Grimsby fans and 88 of ours. There were no obviously empty seats on the other 3 sides of the ground.

The way we started could only see one result. Totally dominated with some great possession football. Unfortunately did not score.

As their player ran through one on one with Kenny Cav and Rocky raced back and Cav made a superb interception in our penalty area.

They came more into it in the second half.

Kenny Arthur made some superlative saves to keep a clean sheet. The flying tip over at full stretch from their no 12's shot heading for the left corner was one of the most amazing saves I have ever seen and right in front of their end

Turner put in a wonderful cross for Symes goal. Even a Grimsby fan was saying what a great goal it was after the match.

Kenny man of the match.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Thanks for that Haggis

All hail King Kenny and Prince Symes :D

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Fantastic result..'Onya '.........Have we got Kenny tied up for next season plus???

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

I would hope they would be offering a contract this week as we know were league 2 for next season! Unless they are waiting for the takeover so they know the wage budget! Well done on cav and rocky for playing well from reports! Must of got bored off the gambling chants!

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

One of the most hostile atmospheres I have come accross in a long time.....

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

I recall going there for a F.A. Cup match in the 70's. Scary place :eek:

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

I had a really good day today, except for coming back to where I'd left my car in Accrington to find it had a flat tyre. :(

Anyway, I think the team responded in the right way to the week's events. Every player gave everything they had and I think we just about edged it in the second half. There was a good reaction from the players at the end to the travelling fans, which really showed that we're all together at this time. It'd be a shame if a few misguided people undid that camaraderie on Monday.

By the way Haggis, were you wearing a yellow coat at today's game? If so, then i was sat right behind you. ;)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

In that case, you were sat behind me and Redash too! ;)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Wore yellow high viz tabard initially but took it off very early and was wearing predominantly black motorbike jacket and trousers with silver high viz trim.

Had large blue bag for helmet.

Was sat between Redash and Wynonie in first half and to the right of Wynonie in the second half.

My photo is on profile any way.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

????:confused:

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Dont think so :) I think somoene has there wires crossed somewhere :)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

.

Probably...four pints of real ale brewed on the premises at Willy's Bar, followed by a couple more celebratory pints on the way home does tend to take its toll! ;)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

I don't think it was you then.....lol

The bloke in front of me looked familiar, but I couldn't think why.

Edit: Just had a look at your picture and it wasn't you....lol

Grimsby fans' responses:

Quoted from Marinerz93
I thought like many that the atmosphere was subdued today but these fans off the Accrington board thought the following.

How was it hosile, God help them if we ever did get going http://www.thefishy.co.uk/blahdocs/Smilies/grin.png

Yeah, I read that! I assumed KP was their photographer and if he was sat near the corner flag he was seriously in danger from some of our shooting. Perhaps that's what he meant.....

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Many thanks to our correspondents who ventured to Grimsby and risked falling off the edge of the known world.

Now that you're back, I trust that all 88 of you [allegedly] have thrown off the smell of fish or at least neutralised it by visiting either (a) your local fishmonger, or (b) your nearest Public Convenience.

Of course it's great news that Stanley are staying up.

So perhaps ASFC's executive decision to play the best possible team at Grimsby was correct.

Based on the reasons for that decision we might imagine that Easter Monday's home game against Chester should, then, be an occasion for celebration and for Eric and Rob to relax.

A memo will perhaps have been despatched to Mssrs Coleman & Bell to the effect that no player who might be described as 'controversial' need be included in the team.

If only.

Unfortunately, other sides in the relegation battle might successfully argue that Stanley deliberately fielded a weakened side!


Yer do yer best . . . .

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Mr Morton! How the devil are you, sir? Nice to see you sharing your thoughts with us on Accyweb again. Here's hoping that you will soon be venturing to the FES (or whatever they're planning to call it) in the not-too-distant future!

"Just hope Accrington play against Chester like they did today".

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Just to clarify for Mariner's benefit, most football grounds in the 70's were scary places :D

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

I was sat nearer the dugout.. beleive me i saw and heard a lot more than you would have done in the away end.. I didnt make my comment lightly..

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

The atmosphere today was really dictated by the way Accrington started the game.If it had not been for Henderson we would have been 3 down in the first 20 minutes.Town were sluggish throughout the match and therefore the atmosphere reflected this (anxious,frustrated) and above all seeing our boys 2nd best to a very well organised Accrington Stanley did allow fans to enjoy proceedings.
What concerns me now is that this result secures Stanleys league status so will they be as committed on Monday against you know who!!!!.
A BIG CHANCE GONE.:)they better be:D:)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Aslong as the mentailty is not we are safe results dont matter! They can think that 2nd may at 16.45 :-) they should play every game like we still need the points! Finish the season on a high.

I notice that Cod Almighty has "Man of the Match Awards " and "Unman of the Match Awards " .

I wonder if there is something about Lincolnshire bearing football adversity with good humour. Boston United's Imps Talk site has been a great read over the years

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

After one match they gave it to 'the small ballboy underneath the Police Box'! :)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Intersting read Mab, just wondered who Conlon was playing for as he peppered the Grimsby goal according to this story??

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

According to the official grimsby team sheet its Kevin Arthur ... just doesnt sound right does it :)

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

But he did have an outstanding game on that occasion.

Re: Today's match at Grimsby
 

Yes should have mentioned that Robbie Williams had a good effort on their goal from about 25 yards.

"Accrington where by far the better side for most of the game. I dont think their was anything to sing about yesterday and it showed."
