On a good note Clitheroe fc 1- 2 Accrington Stanley in todays festival game at shawbridgewhich I think means Stably are in next wks final https://www.clitheroefc.co.uk/photos...21-973143.html

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

been a cracking last few weekends with the Festival of Football of Clitheroe.
good performance from a young Stanley team yesterday against a physical Clitheroe side.
the young lads on pro deals all look promising, Harry Perritt, Tom Scully, Dan Martin, Luke Stowe and Kevin Spinelli. Lewis Mansell getting minutes under his belt which i'm sure are much needed for him.
Some exciting trialists on show for us as well, a couple from category 1 academies.

The future is bright!

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

With Norwich and Watford both gaining promotion back to the Premiership parachute payments of £83 million pounds will be shared among the rest of the Premier league clubs, if they are serious about changing the landscape of football they could start by saying they don't want it all share it about fairly to the rest of the pryamid I hold my breath.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Up date for the festival of football at Clitheroes shawbridge ground final next Saturday ko will be at 12 o'clock..

Did anyone just see our Community Trust featured on Football Focus? Only caught the last couple of minutes so gonna have a proper look on catch up

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Yes I did AM it was good to see that the Community Trust is getting recognized, and what a good way of showing that Accy Stanley is for all the community.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

2 decent results today Bolton got beat Morecambe won let's hope Morecambe get automatically promoted.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Just in case we think we always get the crap refs, check out the decision that secured a last minute penalty, and promotion, for Peterborough.
First a Posh player forearm smashes a Lincoln player, then jumps over the ball into another Lincoln player and knocks him over, and the ref sees it as a penalty for Peterborough.

https://www.skysports.com/watch/vide...gh-3-3-lincoln

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Both pen's questionable! Two cracking goals though imp played there part in pushing Posh all the way, Congratulations to the Posh on been promoted :)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

:) Unfortunately Stanley's Academy youngsters where beaten by Fleetwood Town's Academy youngsters 1 - 2 in this morning/Afternoon 12 ko Festival football final at Shawbridge Clitheroe fc's home. https://www.clitheroefc.co.uk/news/f...1-2613520.html

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Just watched this on Quest, presenters saying it wasn't a penalty but that they deserved it because of how hard it's been for them this season!! Sorry, no - it was nothing but blatant cheating by Smodics to 'win' that penalty & it's been hard for every club not just them.
Saying that, I'm happy to be rid of Peterborough as we're usually on the end of a drubbing from them so good riddance

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

And hopefully pass them when we go up and they come back down.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Just hold on. None of this is down to Peterborough. The Quest presenters don't work for Peterborough and the ref makes decisions on the field. They are promoted...so good luck to them......

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

you may wish em good luck i certainly do not i detest them and the manager.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

The penalty incident was very much down to Peterborough & an incompetent ref, have you seen it?
I never said the presenters on Quest worked for Peterborough but they were definitely biased for some reason, just my opinion of course

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Could be an interesting summer break for football will we finally see some long needed regulatory bodies brought in yesterday United,s game against Liverpool called off due to " protests " and yet again Sheffield Wednesday,s owner accused of failing to pay wages for April, so sad the game has been ruined in a lot of ways by pure greed hopefully a turning point for the better could be around the corner.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Don’t hold your breath, Andyd, especially if you hope a bunch of politicians can sort it out.:rolleyes:
And one of the main drivers behind the Premier League was to make it a club of 20, not 92, and to control its regulatory bodies.

Personally, I’d dock the Greedy Six at least 24 points for the start of next season.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

There lies the problem they govern themselves, they won't punish the clubs yesterday for the postponed game, independent regulation is a minimum change to the game that is needed not brought about by government alone but a collective body of everyone involved.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Punish MAN UTD thats a joke:rolleyes:

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

doubt there will be much change really. as you have said the game is ruined by greed and with all the money that is around that will be the driving factor in the end. the only time there will be a big change is if one or more of the big six gets into real financial difficulty which is hard to imagine.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Here’s a possible pub quiz question for the future.
Which football team won/lost a Wembley Cup Final in a competition for which they were no longer eligible?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

could that be harrogate.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Move to the front of the class, MH.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Hurt them the only way they know in the pocket, cancel sky subscription,s, watch a lower league club local to the " big " six, F A and Premier league stand up to them and stop any notion of breaking up the pryamid there will be change if you stand up to bully tactics.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

how many but a few will do that. how many of those man.u fans who protested, if they go anyway, will not be back next august to see their new multi million pound signings. they say a week is a long time in politics. 3 months is a lifetime of old testiment years in football.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

How have Oxford United managed to sign a player for an undisclosed fee on a three year contract yesterday was him being there on loan anything to do with it because pretty sure transfer window isn't open yet?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

need help here. when a player is on loan at a club are they officially your player whilst at the club and not the parent clubs one.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

The player in question is one Marcus Maguane on loan to Oxford from Nottingham Forest where upto yesterday was contracted until August 2022.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Been reading the rules not easy but I think you can sign a loan player at anytime Mr. T might throw some light on this.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

I noticed Norwich announced they were signing a couple of loanees on permanent contracts. Said it was part of the loan deal if they got promoted.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Some clubs already announcing realeased players interesting one from MK Dons realeased keeper Lee Nichols decent lad from up north.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

He's been here before, was on loan to us roughly 10 years ago?? He wasn't here very long if I remember rightly

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

That's correct came on a one month loan from Wigan ended up playing about nine games decent keeper.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Premiership clubs allowed limited number of fans back for last games of season Spurs 10000 £60 a ticket Burnley 3500 free different values tell which club you prefer?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

That really makes sense. As opposed to getting promoted thanks to loanees who you don’t hang on to for the following season at the higher level.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

It’s still Stanley! :)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

yes, but if i had to support a premier league club it would be burnley above the rest and those who will be promoted back up for next season.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

He wasn't back then but he was only a young lad, seems to have improved a lot since

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

thats cos you aint a Lancastrian mate, Bob Lord virtually single handed put stanley out of league in 62.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

“Exackerly”, Cashy.

And if that wasn’t bad enough, he supplied the gristle pies we had to eat at Benjies.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

It's good to hear some better news about Steve Cotterill, Shrewsbury's manager:
https://www.independent.ie/sport/soc...-40403352.html

I wasn't aware that he was Sligo's manager back in the 90s. Some things are more important than football and, in this case, it looks like there's a happy ending.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Good by 2020/21 season and hello to 2021/22 season !! Gona be some league next season with who's come up and who's dropping in 🙂Big Boys Sheffield Wednesday for starters no so big Bolton Wanderers and hopefully our old friends Morecambe vire the play -offs. Gona be good 🙂🙂

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

i am not looking forward to the scum that come with bolton at all.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Said it before give em 500 seats in stand shut the coppice keep the scum in Bolton.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Well deserved, he’s had a great season.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Could be going to Derby next season rather than Wycombe. The EFL has won its appeal against the points deduction for breaching Financial Fair Play rules being overturned. Looks like a question of whether the points deduction is applied this season or next.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

think we should have had 2 or 3 in that to be honest.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

wait till we beat sheffield wednesday at the wham. they,ll make bolton look like sissy choir boys.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Well done Cameron - well deserved too, think a couple more of our lads should've been in with a shout as well

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Tranmere have sacked Kieth Hill this morning, despite reaching the play offs - makes you wonder what they want

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Not surprised by anything regarding managers nowadays if they win the playoffs it will be regarded as sacked for success laughable.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

instant overnight success from day 1. with some clubs a manager needs to go through a full season with 46 wins. losing a game of football is not allowed anymore.

But there are a few more links on Wycombe's NewsNow page:

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

They've only won PART of the appeal mate.
The part about player valuations and depreciations (called amortisation in accountancy language).

Hefty fine I reckon.

Oy!

and

https://www.manchestereveningnews.co...-lane-20574317

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

hope you are right. keep saying it but it is not their fans fault that **** happened at their club. wish another way could be used to punish clubs without points deductions which are either pointless or condem clubs to relegation before a ball is kicked. remember luton a few years back when they were forced into non league. just because some do not like luton their fans love em like fans at all clubs do.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Isn't fans fault at any club unless they have some involvement another reason after the ESL debacle there needs to be change Spurs now inviting fans to join the board, coming back to punishment there has to be some in all walks of life for rule breaking just that in football it doesn't seem consistent ask fans of Bury and Macclesfield.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Does Bury need a new Tesco or Sainsburys??

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

more likely you,ll be able to pick your new house plot and call it the corner flag if you get in early enough.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Bury has a big Tesco's but no Sainsbury's!!

Very sure there's some legal hold on Gigg Lane which says it must be kept as a sporting venue; other wise it would have been sold years ago.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Problem with Gigg Lane is it hasn't been used for over 2 years now they changed the locks keeping the lad who was cutting the grass out apparently falling into disrepair constant break ins people vandalizing and starting fires, unless it's bought to play football on it will unfortunately just be an eyesore and apart from Bury fans can't see many shedding a tear if it's sold and pulled down shame.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

It was always one of my favourite away days Bury sad but football doesn't always look after its own.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

another peel park i wonder.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Even though I grew up a SWFC fan I hope so as well mate.
The problem is consistency.
There are so many identical errors made to those by SWFC and they got clouted 12 points down to 6 on appeal.
So if they don't apply the punishment consistently ........
Still reckon a hefty fine ...... then stand by for the litigation threats by Wycombe to escalate.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

a fine or even a transfer embargo where they can only sign free agents always seem fairer options for a supporter of that club than starting a season on a minus points making the season either a dead one or a relagation fight.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Is it true that reports are saying Tony Warner has left Stanley and will be joining Bristol Rovers as goalkeeper coach?

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Hope not - can't think why he'd want to work under Joey

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

I'm sure he'll be popular there....

https://gaschat.co.uk/thread/15019/tony-warner

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

There are quite a few links to this on Rovers' NewsNow page:
https://www.newsnow.co.uk/h/Sport/Fo...Bristol+Rovers


One or two of them say that Tony left us after the Portsmouth game.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Don't know if missed this info elsewhere but just seen new season fixtures release date is thursday 24th June

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

I think that Joey Barton’s assault charge comes up in court in the next week or two. Barnsley manager suffered facial damage over a year ago. I read somewhere that Barton .........‘allegedly pushed him’!!!!!:eek: :oke2:

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

😳 https://the72.co.uk/235713/league-on...with-star-man/ 😊 could be a battle on to keep Dion as t the club! But it'll depend on the price tag I guess 🤔

doing nothing is never the answer but having a petition of any number of people will not guarentee it ever being successful and people get what they want. signed too many in the past with very little positive outcome in the end.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

perfectly true but at least theres a chance is the way i look at it.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

:) I think with the outcry which followed the super league and the super 6 involved having no consideration of what the fans wanted or thought may just help this in the long run :)

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

that put football in the national news instead of rumblings of discontent among fans. the only problem is how independant the regulator will end up being and who will get the job anyway. its either going to be someone already in the game or someone with no clue what the average fan is like. even someone with the best intentions can have their heads turned with the constant meetings with those at the top of the game. hope i,m wrong but things have gone too far now for any real changes in the game where the majority of fans will be happy.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Suspect you’re right, MH.
So many ‘czars’, ‘commissioners’, ‘watchdogs’, ‘regulators’, ‘ombudsmen’, etc, etc seem to end up pretty ineffective, but keep at it for the allowances.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Another new sponser Ronnan Corperation signed on with stanley, welcome aboard. seems to me since our new owner came aboard things are only going one way IMPROVING IMHO.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

Exactly Cashy improvement,s all round for fans, for sponsors and crucially with big strides on training ground and new dressing rooms ability to attract ever better quality players.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

According to the Telegraph, residents are "up in arms" about our plans for the training ground.

Re: Bits & Bobs
 

no comment at the word residents.

more likely a couple of em doing the stirring up the rest as they go around in their blackburn tops.
