Ian Craney
 

Glad to see the boy Craney is doing well. You've got yourselves a top quality player and I hope he continues to excell himself.

Re: Ian Craney
 

Too true! Excellent in the pre-season friendlies. Slight dip in performance in our opener against Burton I thought but, as you say, a top quality player and one at a top quality club!

Re: Ian Craney
 

Let's hope he keeps up this level of performance and moves on to a really big club. I'll watch his progress with interest.

Regards,

Alty365. Come on Alty!!!!

Wonder why Mr Sell-on-clause

Re: Ian Craney
 

Hey Alty365, Ian is already at THE biggest club. How can he possibly better the experience of playing and scoring for Accrington Stanley..

Re: Ian Craney
 

Ah, I see you're still as obnoxious as ever Mr Hornsucker.

Re: Ian Craney
 

If stating the obvious means Im obnoxious then yep I sure am....

Re: Ian Craney
 

Well of course I want the sell on clause!! Does the name Brett Ormerod ring any bells? Surely you realise after his success, the impact such a move would have on our club. I'm not saying the Ormerod money was the only source of income for you, but it was certainly a big factor in the turnaround in your fortunes. We just hope that the Craney deal might bear addtional fruit for us in the future and therefore it's good to see him continuing to shine, irrespective of who he currently plays for.

Re: Ian Craney
 

I agree with you - I never said you didnt want a sell on clause - good business acumen and all that - my point is the comment wouldnt have been there if there was no sell on clause - tell me it would....

Re: Ian Craney
 

Of course it wouldn't. **:o)

Re: Ian Craney
 

Hehehe that was the point I was making - not the fact that Craney is crap and wouldnt progress (with or without us - thats up to him obviously) or that I begrude the deal our clubs agreed on. I hear the goal he scored for us on Tuesday night was not too disimilar to a goal scored by the same man on a Tuesday night in December at Moss Lane not too long ago (81st minute was it? - Gutted :) )

Re: Ian Craney
 

That was some strike - I remember it well. If you leave Jamie Speare grasping at air like that, you know it must have been a great strike. You'll be seeing plenty more where that came from I assure you! The frightening thing is, you seem to have a multitude of players capable of the same thing. I can't see you finishing outside the playoff places at the very least. It's very early days, but you have too much quality in that squad.

I'm not saying Alty are on the same plain yet, but we certainly have a vastly inmproved squad this year and the opening fixtures have provided a more than pleasant surprise to our fans. Long may it continue!!! (We're not getting carried away yet though!)

Thats what coley thinks!............

Re: Ian Craney
 

Why would him pointing out the sell on clause result in you describing him as obnoxious and then go on to call him childish names... I know its posh in alty but thats going a bit far :)

Re: Ian Craney
 

I think we've got past that stage of the conversation now.

Re: Ian Craney
 

Well that makes it OK then eh? I take it the smiley was going so fast you missed it eh?

Re: Ian Craney
 

Not at all. :)

Re: Ian Craney
 

KIPAX - it doesnt matter all that much. Im not crying into my cup of tea or anything coz there was no smiley on his post. Seen Kipax's pics from Tuesday night Alty365? Got quite a good collection of flags now - got any spare you'd like to contribute to our collection? ;)

Re: Ian Craney
 

The smile reference was to my post not his. I didn't expect him to smile. he is an alty fan. whats he gonna smile about?

Re: Ian Craney
 

Hahaha. Im very happy with the start to our season at the moment so I'm smiling lots about that thank you.

:) :) :)

Supporting Alty always makes me smile, because although we've not had the best of times in recent years we (the Alty fans) all love our club and wouldn't miss matches for the world, no matter who we're playing, be it Doncaster or Droylsden. I understand that you would look at our position and think we'd have nothing to smile about, but when you look at clubs like Telford going out of business it makes you realise that we have done exceptionally well to keep our club alive. That's pretty good reason to smile in my eyes. We've got a long way to go, but we are very much alive and kicking. We are under no illusion that we deserve to be any higher up than we are by right and we're relishing the opportunity to compete in what I regard as a better league than the old Unibond Prem.

Anyway, irrespective of any past comments I wish you good luck for the season.

Re: Ian Craney
 

and good luck to you this season.....

Re: Ian Craney
 

Sorry - misunderstood. Thanks for the best wishes for the season - I hope we do get into the top 5 this time round - started going about it the right way at least :) For what its worth (not much from me I know) but good luck to your guys too.... (but Jezza is still an arse :) )

Re: Ian Craney
 

Much appreciated......maybe see you in one of the cups.

Cheerio for now.

Re: Ian Craney
 

Yeah maybe - see you next time Craney scores ;)

Re: Ian Craney
 

Despite any past history between the clubs/supporters, I wish Altrincham well and I hope you have a successful season. I'd much rather see you back up here with us than the likes of Leigh for instance! Ian Craney may well move on eventually (not for a few seasons though I hope) and may that move substantially benefit both our clubs.

Regards

Re: Ian Craney
 

Sounds like a plan to me!!

See you soon....

Re: Ian Craney
 

Craney wont need to move on as the whole club of Accrington Stanley will have moved on in a few seasons playing in the football league back were we belong!!

Re: Ian Craney
 

Indeed! :D
