Barnet match thread
 

Evening all
Time for another night of talking to myself!

Three changes - Joyce, Miles and Ryan out.
Turner, McConville and Flynn in. The latter starts in the centre of midfield.

Stanley: Dunbavin, Lees, Kempson, Edwards, Winnard, McConville, Flynn, Procter, Turner, Symes, Grant

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Funniest thing I've seen at football this year - Ultras in fluorescent jackets with a banner proclaiming "Football is nothing without stewards"

Magnificent!

We're underway

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Sounds like a more defensive line up than normal, might be a good idea :)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

So Dunsavin's not banned after being sent off against Crewe? BBC site says he is:

Accrington, winless in nine, will be without keeper Ian Dunbavin, who starts a two-match ban after being sent off in the 5-1 thrashing at Crewe.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Dunbavin had his red card rescinded after appeal earlier today.

the BBC are wrong ;-)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

7 mins: first chance
Grant speculative effort (35 yds) tipped over by Jake COle

Re: Barnet match thread
 

10: Barnet's David Livermore fires well over after a layoff fromjohn O'Flynn
The Ultras sing "Swing Low Sweet Chariot" in his honour...

Re: Barnet match thread
 

12: Procter heads over from a Tom Lees cross

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Evening all..................guess who is baby sitting tonight!!

Now then Matchday...........cd? :)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

18: we all thought Stanley had scored...

Turner found Symes down the left channel, squared an McConville tapped it home at the back stick. Except he didn't. Cos Gary Breen cleared it off the line...

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Pete, your other half is in possession of a gift for you... :-)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Whoop whoop!!...................I thank you young sir!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I went for a minute then folks - internet bust!

Kempson's just limped off - replaced by Murphy

Re: Barnet match thread
 

how long did the Ultras stewarding protest last for Dan/Ben/Martyn?

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I am assuming that your internet is down again Dan................or is it that the match is sooooooooooo riveting?................;)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Ht - 0-0

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Sorry Pete and Rob - you've correctly assumed that my internet went down again!!!!

The protest lasted from about ten mins before kick off until the game started (or thereabouts, as much as I'd LIKE to just watch the Ultras I've had one or two other bits to do)

Pete, to bring you up to speed, Symes fired one shot wide and saw another blocked behind for a corner.

Paul Furlong looked clean through for the visitors but ran out steam and Johnny Flynn got it away.

Not the best game - but at least Stanley have been on top!!!!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Oh, and there's just me doing this tonight - bloody part timers!!!!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Thanks Dan................the pressures of sports journalisim eh?

Well at least one of us appreciates it mate!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

As I said at the start, I'm spending the evening talking to myself!!!!

Back underway here - no changes

Re: Barnet match thread
 

keep it up Dan, folks are relying on ya!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Paul Furlong's just gone in the book for a high boot

Re: Barnet match thread
 

51: Symes drives the ball goalwards from a tight angle on the right, Cole parries and Procter unleashes one from the edge of the box but sees it charged down.

Tom Lees then hooks the second rebound (can there be such a thing?) wide

Re: Barnet match thread
 

53: McConville crosses from the right; Grant gets up but heads wide. Should have perhaps done better...

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Hour gone. Not the best game, but having seen the last nine I'm not complaining too much!!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

63 mins: DISASTER!
I've broken my pen...

Had you going for a sec tho!!!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

64: McConville off, Kee on

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Dan you swine. That looked particularly bad on the iPod as I scrolled down

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Billy!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

69: GOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!
Kee plays a one two with Symes, and prods the ball beyond COle into the bottom right.

Don't look now folks but we are winning a game!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I am officially dancing a little jig to accompany the MAGNIFICENT stanley support in the Clayton End - we've just had a brilliant Ultras-dressed-as-stewards conga too

Re: Barnet match thread
 

can you spot any cod there tonight dan?

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Barnet commentator just said that the stewards were doing the conga!!! not realising the Ultras are highly visible :-)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

you got commentary macca?

Re: Barnet match thread
 

There are about a dozen Grimsby fans in the Clayton End I reckon - cue the strains of "we're having a party when Grimsby stay up" from all!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

BREAKING NEWS
I have just seen three people chanting and dancing a little jig in the MAIN STAND!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

no, was on the Football Forum - some Barnet have commentary from BarnetWorld (subscription)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Under a spot of pressure now - Joe Devera just had a header saved

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Macca - I'd love to know where the commentary is coming from cos there's nobody doing it here!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

We need to hold on this time!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Peter McNaught wins the "stating the bleeding obvious" award this week!!!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Five bookings, 3 for us and 2 for Barnet.....has it been a niggly game Dan?

Sometimes the obvious needs stating......lol

Re: Barnet match thread
 

hi dan listening on the barnet player reckon they are level with the box at the clayton end. only one bloke though

Re: Barnet match thread
 

89 - Symes hits the post. Oh cock!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

4 mins added time
Live on 2br

Re: Barnet match thread
 

not sure but the guy on TFF said it sounded like he (the commonpotato) was on an Accy terrace as you could hear northern conversations! I wondered whether you were doing it for them tbh.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Cool!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Phew great result well done lads, and thanks Dan :)

Up to 13th now :)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Well I hate to say it but I believe I may be a jinx... I am now back in Manchester having been back home in Accy since late March and we finally win one.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Waheyyyy the monkey's off our backs:)

Not a classic but a result that's really all that mattered, summat to build on for the last two games of the season

Ultras in good voice along with our sea shanty friends from the East Coast, Hi-Viz vests classic touch:D

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Two poor sides,their number 7 was good , the Ultras were brill, bavs kept a clean sheet so the three points were welcome

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Number seven was Nicky Deverdics reminiscent of the Grimsby lad Akpro great with the ball at feet almost looked like it was velcroed to his boots:eek:

Re: Barnet match thread
 

The Hi-Viz conga was brilliant, well done to all the participants, they nearly missed the goal.
The Grimsby fans were very happy, good luck to them on Saturday.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Don't let anyone say the Stanley players are just going through the motions, because that was a gutsy, committed performance. Great night on the Clayton End - felt like we had won promotion. Billy Kee - please come back next season. Any chance, I wonder?

Re: Barnet match thread
 

top man for me was billy the red we need him on from the start ... can we keep him for good ....

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Was it not Adomah? Deano couldn't get near him!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Grimps mate how the hell can Kee be on the bench n McConville start?:confused: Kee on a bad day is better n yon mon on a good un.:confused: NEPOTISM i call it.:rolleyes: not the greatest performance this season, stanley were the much better side though, Barnet looked to me,like they'd come fer a day out absolute crap, Hope Grimsby make it, at least when they came here they played fer their lives. need to up it somewhat fer Chesterfield on sat, they are more than capable.lets hope they go out n show it.;)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I think it was the bloke on the end of the row in front of you. I heard most of it, he got pretty excited at times, he must have been watching a different match :D

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Just got back to sunny wigan, game could be described as dour, but and it is a BIG but, we got the 3 points we deserved on the balance of play, could and should have been 3 or 4 but lets just be glad we won. Some of the rugby tackles that Barnet were getting away with (didn't know the Crown had changed its name from Twickenham) was plain stupid, how the liner and the ref missed them I do not know. Roll on saturday and hope we can do Morecambe a favour (did I really say that). Crowd was low tonight - just over 1200. GL to GTFC on saturday.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

there number 7 was adomah,hes rated one of the best wingers in the division,dont think acci could afford him,he will be playing at an higher level next year i am sure,deanos quick but hes like usain bolt !!! although hes not been on a winning side against acci this year

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Symes was very good tonight, won most balls in the air, held play up brilliantly and linked up well with everybody, his best display in months!!!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Nothing could surpass Saturday, till tonight.

Love you all.......

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Class ta fer a good laugh.:)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

like it ...:D:D:D well done to the ultras ..

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Yep must a have been so glazed over with the excitement of a win could'nt read the name on the shirt:o

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Well done ULTRAS, it was more fun watching u guys than the game, great humour & fun best yet!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Seems a strange time to get rid...

Barnet sack boss Hendon

Re: Barnet match thread
 

agree, seems the powers that be are really dumb.................now where i heard that before?:D

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Yes, well done Ultras - absolutely brilliant yet again! However, to come to more mundane matters, like last night's game, was anyone else impressed by the display of Peter Murphy when he came on? I make no bones about it, I just didn't think he was good enough. but I thought that last night he provided exactly what we've been lacking - someone to break down attacks and win balls in front of the centre of our back four. Could it be that he has at last found his true role? It may be just me, but I like to give credit where it's due, so well done Peter!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

well gotta say,i thought Murphy had a steady game when came on, be interesting to see if he retains his place on sat.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I think that you may have got Murphy and Flynn mixed up. As I saw it Murphy hardly put a foot right and didn't pass the ball to a Stanley player all night.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I too thought Flynn was very good, but didn't notice Murphy too much. However, I don't remember him being as bad as that, either.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Nah, it's standard - lose to Stanley, sack your manager - 4 or 5 this season isn't it?

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Sorry Jeff, can't agree. I thought Flynn was great when he moved back to replace Darran but didn't handle the midfield destroying job anywhere near as well as Murphy. Incidentally, contrary to what you seem to believe -"I think that you may have got Murphy and Flynn mixed up"I'm not totally stupid!

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Didn't think Murphy played at all well, but I don't blame him as he was thrown in at the deep end. Flynn played well both in midfield and at centre-half.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Fair enough Shaker. As I said before,I don't think Murphy has really got the ability to play at this level, so I was probably looking for the best in him after a few quite disappointing performances. It's easy to kick a man when he's down and I really did think he played quite well last night, so thought it might be an idea to give the lad a bit of encouragement. Evidently most other people didn't see his display in the same light, so maybe I'd better make an appointment at Specsavers tomorrow!:)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Have to agree with oldgobbin,thought murphy did the job asked of him very well ie holding midfield roll ,He was very effective and disciplined and didnt allow the balls to be played into there forwards feet.
They had to go ariel and flynn and edwards dealt with it.
He didnt run around like a chicken with no head ! and i thought he played the role as good if not better than flynn.
Accis midfield have been crying out for a holding midfielder for months and it was a big call by the manager to put a defender in there in lieu of a normal midfielder

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I thought Pete Murphy did ok, certainly didn't notice him make any glaring errors but why put him on in midfield when we had John Mullin on the bench??

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Barnet sacked Hendon after tuesday nights defeat at stanley NewsNow: Loading story...

Re: Barnet match thread
 

old news mate wynonie posted it yesterday in thread.:)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

Oooops:o:othanks cashy:)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

I've just watched the highlights on the BBC website - BBC Sport - Football - Accrington Stanley 1-0 Barnet - don't know if that'll come up as a link or not :confused:.

Edit - oh good, it did!

Watch out for Shaun McConville celebrating his "goal" as the ball goes past him after the clearance off the line - I'm sure it's a celebration not an appeal :)

Re: Barnet match thread
 

from were we were standing, the ball was oer the line to me. :rolleyes: still we won. defender seemed about 2 ft behind line when made clearance.

Re: Barnet match thread
 

My own thought when Sean shot was instead of going for placement put your laces through it, it did seem however as though as he did reel away to celebrate
