Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

I disagree. It was the police in riot gear who made the call very vocally to 'clear the stand, just get em out'.
To witch the police totally unorganised where waving batons, swearing at fans, proding fans and turning a blind eye to a steward throw 2 punches.
As the crowd where pushed outside they had 3 horses obstructing the exit!

I was shocked at the ammount of police, did the club make any money from the game?

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Sorry Rob, can't agree. It doesn't take five officers, two horses and eight blues to take down one Red who doesn't know what the chuff is going on. The behaviour of a couple of the officers and them Frankie Dettori wannabes was disgraceful.

I can't understand why police can't separate exuberance from football violence.

Nevermind. It doesn't belong here. I'm extremely proud of the job done tonight by Lew, John, Jimmy, Andy Parkinson, Ian Dunbavin and all the lads on the pitch. The Ultras were superb. Just a magnificent job.

Good craic with the toon in the Crown as well.

On Stanley On.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

about 1 hour before the game Police were all lined up across Livingstone Rd near the whalley rd end, looking hard, we commented how un-necessary n pathetic it looked,a bunch of us were walking down wi some geordie fans n we all agreed.:rolleyes: exactly WHO is this ridiculous level of policing down to?:(

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

fair do's, I tried to observe as much as I could from where I was (somewhere near the middle ;)). Like I said, as far as I believe the police can only act on information given, and if they are asked to intervene, or if the one or two think they need to intervene, then they all pile in and "clear the stand" is probably a standard order - and they did.

Im further defence of them, I saw two coppers drag a steward (unfortunately not the one who I reported) over the wall and make him leave the area.

Having said that and defended them, there were numerous issues that could be taken. But as far as I'm concerned the blame all lies with the stewards. They panicked at nothing and waded in, at which point even fans with no banning orders or limited arrests, will react.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Tonight was magic, my game at the crown ground this season as being away at sea since may, but i just loved the atmosphere the ultras make, all the flags, the red/white card on the main stand, everything, the players and the management should be very proud of what went on tonight, thought we gave a great account for ourseleves, am sure a few players will have taken the eye of a few managers, good to see bobby grant there aswell, shows he still cares about the club, what went on after the game was madness and i agree with what everything macca said, ultras/fans always stay behind, we never cause trouble home or away, too many stewards and police spoil the party.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Poor old Jase was dragged away in handcuffs merely for trying to get the morons to go easy on the unfortunate fan being victimised. What a disgraceful end to a wonderful night. Appalling behaviour by stewards and police which was totally unnecessary. Arresting fans for enjoying themselves - what the hell is the world coming to? Whoever was in charge of the security operation should be sacked for allowing such sickening over-reaction.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Is he one of the regular Stanley stewards?

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Waiting for this thread to be closed LOL

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

This thread wont be closed. What went on was terrible mismanagement of resources. It can and will be discussed here. So that in the future it will not happen again.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Nice one Roy :) Good to meet you tonight!!

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Couple of photos from tonight. Video coming up.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

the first picture how good does the clayton end look, wish it was like that every home game, just looks ace

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Thanks Shaker, cannot wait for the vid!!!!

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Immense tonight, As for the Stewards/Police, It's all been said, *******.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

It's taking ages...
:sleep:
it's only three minutes long!

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Fantastic pictures there! :)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Just seen the goals on Sky Sports News. Putterill's goal looked even better on the telly. And I bet Ryan Taylor couldn't put another in the top corner like that if he tried a hundred times :rolleyes:

Yeah sorry about the second photo not being of great quality, it's just a print screen of a part of the video. Just wanted a still of both the flags together.

Here's the vid. The first minute & half is skippable, except for the great introduction by Barry :D

YouTube - Stanley Ultras vs. Newcastle

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

I know nothing about football BUT, I went through to Accrington tonight and commented on the amount of Stanley fans and Newcastle fans all together talking away before the match. Everyone seemed well behaved as usual for a Stanley match. I couldn't believe it when I was coming home and the police were everywhere and an ambulance was sat outside the Crown pub. I wondered what the hell had happened. There's never any trouble at Accy Stanley. My first thought was the police were perhaps overloaded with adrenaline because Stanley were playing Newcastle. All the Newcastle fans I saw before the match were very well behaved and mixing with the Stanley supporters. I remember thinking on my way home, I must look at Accyweb to see what's gone on. I hope everyone is ok :)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

You guys were a real credit to lower league football, the attitude of your manager and players was spot on and I thought you deserved abit better. We're a very lucky team this morning.

Admittedly, it wasn't our first team that played, not one of them started against Aston Villa, but you ran us very close, and should be proud of your achievements.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Do you reckon Ameobi & Ranger would be pushing for a first team place if they knew that you play football better on your feet rather than spend most of it sat on their backsides or led on their backs ? :)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

At the end of the day mate, Ameobi and Ranger aren't good enough for our current first team. We have Carroll upfront, with Nolan just slotted in behind him.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Good report that n as one who has criticized bavs big time, he gets credit fer a damn good performance last night, he has improved much this season, i hope he maintains this.:) perhaps the fact we now have a goalkeeping coach has made the difference? whatever reason well done bavs.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Agree, Cashy, about Dunbavin. He's silenced this critic with his display last night. Thought all the team were great; periods of Stanley's play were top-draw, with quick and purposeful passing. Coleman & Bell, purveyors of football talent, have done wonders (again) in the space of a few weeks.
Biggest disappointment of the night was the strip Newcastle chose to wear; seems like you shed all traditions when you get amongst the premier product-shifters.
Roll on Oxford, another club Stanley have never played before.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Great battling performance. The reds gave their all to the very last kick of the game.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Gotta say after much thought i reckon it was the best display ive seen since Walter Galbraiths side, back in the mists of time.:)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

I'll go along with that, Cashy. I really think we've got the makings of a brilliant side.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

I would just like to mention that last night I was sat next two Stanley supporters from Norway, which was nice to see. They certainly enjoyed both the game and the atmosphere.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

I brought my mate lastnight to his first Stanley game he said it wouldn't be his last!!

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

newcaslte lads i know who watched it on sky said the commentator was consistently using derogative terms regarding accrington and asfc?

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Well a fantastic night all round.

Ultra's brilliant yet again. Bobby Robson flag really was 1st class.

Proud Proud night to be a stanley fan.
Brilliant to see the Geordies applauding our fans and team as they left the field.

As for the incidents that took place after I cant comment as I left after applauding the team off, but sounded like a disgrace.

Fair enough the paper rolls got abit silly in the 2nd half but no need for what happened.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Thats the thing smudge, n odd knobhead, gives the MAJOR KNOBHEADS n excuse.:(

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

cashman

the till roll throwing had nothing to do with the police and steward reaction five minutes after the game had finished.

Say what you want about the till roll throwing, but they are seperate incidents. Seperated by at least 40 minutes!

And just for the record, people where told to throw the till rolls into the goal so they would leave an effect with the roll hanging down, not 1 till roll hit Krul or Dunbavin.

The police reaction, inability and stupidity is inexcusable. Just like the Leeds bouncers/stewards will one day get a good hiding, so will those coppers and stewards. What comes around.goes around; bad things happen to bad people.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

know they are separate, also know how these knobheads operate n they will use any excuse to have a pop at fans.:rolleyes:

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

cashman
agreed.

the police will make up or twist an old rubbish to justify there actions.
wouldnt it be refreshing if they held their hands up and admit the force they used was disproportionate?

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Davo,

ya need to learn to bounce mate, spent most of the 2nd half with you blocking my view!

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

scousers dont bounce mate.

its not in our jeans.

thanks for the sweaty hug when we scored the 2nd!

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Davo i have witnessed these actions many many times at football back in the day, also during the miners strike, nowt ever gets done to rectify these actions, its what i term pishing in the wind, its dead wrong but these clowns are answerable to no-one.:(

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

bit like the copper in London who was caught on camera smashing the bloke at the protest, in the end the inurys killed him.

he is still on duty as a copper after having over 6 months of for the court case on full pay!

He should have been doing time for GBH.

Corruption and injustice leaves a sour taste, it makes you understand (notice I said understand not accept) why some people where backing Raoul Moat.

Cheers mike, never get tired of seeing it magic.:)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Thanks Mike; fantastic team spirit and these lads will take us far this season.


Don't you just love John Coleman. What a beautiful man....:)


On, Stanley On!

Ultras are Heroes, not thugs.

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Accrington Stanley put up a fabulous display against the Toon on Wednesday, and their boss said there was "comfort in the defeat".-----------------just copied this from newcastle mad site, fair play to the geordies.:)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Ray Putterill must be happy with his first senior goal brillant, top player aswell

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Cheers for that link Mike :)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

I want to stay Putt, says Stanley ace (From Lancashire Telegraph)

think he has done very well, and i would give him an extension tilll end of next season

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

i agree, said before he scored that great goal, someone will probably be in fer him in jan window, sign him pronto IMHO.;)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

I received the following email from Terry who is a Newcastle Uniteed Season Ticket Holder:

On behalf of all genuine Newcastle United fans I would like to acknowledge the tribute that Stanley fans paid to our former manager Sir Bobby Robson. You were already regarded by us as true football fans for the way you have stayed loyal to a smaller club when you have lots of bigger ‘band wagons’ nearby which you could jump upon, and the displaying of the banners at the game yesterday reinforces that point. Stanley fans have shown a big national audience that having class is not linked to the division you play in.



We wish you all the best for the rest of the season.


I don't think I need to add anthing to this:)

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Let's just hope that the Judge in the SU2 case reads this forum.............

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

It should certainly be a priority to keep Ray till AT LEAST the end of the season.!

Re: vs Newcastle Utd.
 

Now that is a compliment and a half.
