Mullin and Charnock start for Morecambe

Re: Morecambe thread
 

We're off, with Morecambe on the front foot early on

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Happy new year Dan & co - let's hope for a good start this afternoon eh ?

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Compliments of the season to you Danny boy.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Not a lot to report so far - Stanley haven't made too many forays forward in the opening nine minutes.

A key battle is looking like Long against Mullin

Re: Morecambe thread
 

lets hope its a happy new year fer stanley, n dan.;)

Re: Morecambe thread
 

12: Superb save from Bav to deny Scott Brown a spectacular opener.

The midfielder pulled the trigger from 25 yards and the keeper pushed it away

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Penalty to Stanley!!!!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Charnock dived in on Gornell. Spot Kick.
Edwards...

Scores down the middle 0-1

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Bound to win-I left Stanley out of my multis...

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Excellent start!! Happy New Year all :)

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Apologies right now for any keyboard mistakes-I have a 6 week old kitten attacking my fingers as i type. :(

Re: Morecambe thread
 

great start, lets hope they build on it.;)

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Just got back from a walk to clear my head.... 5 mins ago I felt/thought that Sunbeds was doing the same as he did last year and he was!!!!! Very strange... Might just go and get myself a lottery ticket, this could be a Happy New Year!!!!!!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Cowboy!!!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Tasty derby this - aggro all over!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

26: 1-1.

Gornell concedes a free kick on the left, Stanley delivers and Chris McCready heads in the equaliser

Re: Morecambe thread
 

-Insert characters (representing expletives) that we're not allowed to..-

Re: Morecambe thread
 

oh crap 1-1:eek:

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Whats the weather doing in West Lancashire today people? I hope the worst of it is over-which I guess it is with so many matches going ahead..

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Edwards has just headed a McConville corner wide. Decent game now this.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Its only decent if we don't lose...

Re: Morecambe thread
 

John you big pragmatist...

You could be the next Sam Allardyce!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

... Where's my dictionary...?:confused:

Re: Morecambe thread
 

would be nice for a change to have a 2 goal cushion & anticipating a third - but Stanley still come with a health warning this term.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Two minutes added

Re: Morecambe thread
 

That's half time and a draw is a relatively fair reflection of what we've seen for me.

Gornell has posed the Morecambe defence plenty of problems but Stanley haven't had too many chances.

Lots of needle around - it looks like Craney and McCready want to have a fight more than play football so far!!!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Show a bit of Bias Dan- Morecambe were lucky.:D

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Hey Dan, any idea as to how many 'Owls' turned up?

Re: Morecambe thread
 

It's deceptively cold at this breezeblock paradise...

2702 the official attendance. Maybe a couple of hundred Reds?

Teams are out.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

And the second half begins

Re: Morecambe thread
 

49: good work from Procter results in a Stanley corner

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Rearrange the words:
McConville first man the finds

Re: Morecambe thread
 

53: Ryan drags a shot just wide of the Morecambe goal

Re: Morecambe thread
 

reminds me of my schoolboy efforts on a quagmire back in the brown lace-up days in the early 60's (lol)

Re: Morecambe thread
 

60: Almost a horrid moment there - Garry Hunter beat Jacobson down the Stanley left and crossed to the near post where Paul Mullin was sliding in... Two Stanley players got something to it and got it clear.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Sounds like its almost as exciting as the darts lol. Cmon Stanley let's put the game to bed.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

The second half has been a little grim if I'm honest...

Re: Morecambe thread
 

74: I can at last feel a little more comfortable.

Paul Mullin replaced by Mark Duffy for the home team. It's odd seeing him play against Stanley.

His departure prompted a "one Paul Mullin" chorus from the Stanley fans...

Re: Morecambe thread
 

76: BIG let off
James Spencer looked to be through as Dean Winnard came across and vainly attempted to get the ball. But the striker shot well over

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Crane off and Putterill on.

Ian roundly booed by the Morecambe fans

Re: Morecambe thread
 

80: great chance for Stanley.

Putterill burst away down the right before crossing low for Gornell, who turned and shot low, only to see Roche turn it round the post.

From the resulting corner, Ryan saw a drive blocked and it fell to Jacobson outside the box. He struck it sweetly and Roche watched. It went wide.

******

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Ironic,,,we cheer one of theirs, they boo one of ours...:(

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Jimmy Ryan scores at will! 2-1

Re: Morecambe thread
 

82: GOALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!
It had to be. It's the rules against Morecambe.

Jimmy Ryan does it again. Picked up the ball on the right and made no mistake.


1-2. GET IN!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

YEEEEEEHHAAAAAAAAAAAAA take that you bad sports...

Re: Morecambe thread
 

hope it stays that way come on stanley.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Hope it is not his last....

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Three added minutes...

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Knew you'd say something of the sort. Like clockwork Joe!!!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

FINAL WHISTLE!

And a first league away win since March!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Excellent. Cheers Dan. Well done Reds. Bring on the Spirites.

Re: Morecambe thread

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Well done STANLEY, and thanks Dan. Have a pleasant evening people...

Re: Morecambe thread

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Hoo-bloomin-ray !!!!!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Here's a bit of match report for you kids - be with you with Coley in a bit

ASFC News Story > 3765

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Cracking result :)

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Nice one reds. Thanks Dan.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

A nice little ground, good fascilities, but a poor side. Stanley were the better team. Ryan played well. Paul Mullen missed a sitter (thankfully) The Ultras were great again, Stanleys second was worth the trip, well done Reds.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

2-1 to the stanley get in the driver home was good think sams days my be on him.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Not too sure about that. Morecambe were looking the more likely to score until Coley brought Putterill on. I like Ray - he's so direct and aggressive and puts the wind up defenders. He made a big difference. I can't help feeling a bit sorry for the Shrimps fans - the've played pretty well against us recently but we seem to have the Indian sign over them and long may it continue. However they totally failed to get behind their team, so I suppose they got their just deserts.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Well its funny you should say that, we were having a conversation and come to an agreement that it didn't seem the same saying that as it does c'mon you reds, anyway a few seconds later we lost possession and someone called them black B*******, just a few seconds later Ryan hit the back of the net, certainly worked for us :D

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Pretty much the same observation as Redraine, once Putterill came on for Craney there seemed to be a desire to carry the fight to Morecambe after we had been penned in for most of the second half whether Razor has a point to prove not sure but it certainly worked as an inspired substitution.

Not sure if Craney also had the same effect with Jimmy Ryan as well as things tended to try to go through Craney rather than Ryan which seemed to deter the foothold Jimmy normally has on games?

But a cracking result that puts a bit of daylight between us and the Clubs at the bottom and means looking upwards instead of downwards.

But this is such a tight league a run of three or four wins and we could be right back in the thick of things.

I did miss the Old Christie Park which had a more football feel to it to me than the Globe, I am sure from a commercial point of view it makes sense but from a fans point of view I am not sure.....

Re: Morecambe thread
 

first half we ran the game
Craney was very impressive and orecambe couldnt deal with him as was Ryan with Gornell providing plenty of movement up front, McConville also played well as a wide outlet.

2nd half Morecambe started to press us and we where uncomfortable under the high pressure with many wayward balls.
They really should have scored with one of their strikers clean through blazing over the bar.

A decent game despite the weather turning cold and the lack of pies for sale.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

You were lucky. Mine was cold around the crust but scalding hot inside! Disagree with you re. McConville though. Much better options on the bench IMHO.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Very perceptive point, P.R, with which I totally agree. I was wondering why Jimmy was having a quiet game by his standards until the penny dropped. One of Coley's better substitutions, if a little late in the day.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Maybe it is time to rephrase the Ian Craney song and substitute the words Ian Craney with Jimmy Ryan - it was a cracker.
Got to say, for a new ground, it lacks soul purely and simply because it is one sided i.e. one main stand and then opposite is a low wall. The acoustics were rubbish.
The game itself seemed to be too one sided with Stanley sitting back and defending for long periods. Would like to see the stats. However, at the end of the day, it is about the team who sticks the ball in the net the most and Stanley did that today. Got to agree with others, although Ian Craney played well for most parts, Stanley impetus was far better when Ray Putterill came on. Lets all hope that he, Parkinson and others who are out of contract have now re-signed.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Fantastic result an away win at last. Jimmy and Phil best players by far. Tremendous strike. Thought Putterill showed much more determination than Craney and should have started and didnt feel Jacobsen had his best. Thought Mc Conville was weak and got out muscled time and time again. But if we can win with players certainly not at there best just maybe we can climb up that league. Bring on the next one. Well done stanley and the Ultras best supporters in the league did stanley proud.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Moving phil back to cb,deano movin to rb and jacobson lb seemed to work on the day,but they played 3-5-2 which seemed to pin us back 4 periods, should have worked the channels more,but overall acci did a job on them, Phil was back 2 his best in my opinion

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Agree Phil was back to his best. Cant understand whats happened to Bateson thought he had a good start to the season but seems to have disappeared.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

I can't start a new thread with the clip. So it's in the chat section of the Ultra's site.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

????

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Sorry, the goals.
I can't start a new thread, for the goals

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Erm nobody had said u can't I permitted it with just title link renamed and its fine who has told u that it's not allowed??

Or is it a snide to convert to ultras site exclusively :confused:

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Strange one that. Seems to have carried the can for the failings of the back four in the sequence of poor results earlier in the season. Following the sending off at Bury, he played once at Chesterfield. Since then, can't even get on the bench.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

First away win
43 seconds long, 29Mb

Re: Morecambe thread
 

This clip deserves to be seen in all it's glory, so I converted it into the best quality I could. hence the large file size.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Anyway, Another marvellous penalty from the master that is Phil Edwards, a rather sloppy equaliser, and a magnificent strike from our best midfield player (please stay Jimmy).
The Globe arena has obviously taken over from Christie park, as Morecambe's bogey ground when playing Stanley, long may it continue.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

STANLEY, PRIDE OF LANCASHIRE, again

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Cheers, as ever!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Sat up & watched it last night, but well worth watching again .... & again ....

As to Jimmy Ryans goal, class, a well taken effort.

Re: Morecambe thread
 

cheers mate.;)

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Another 3 points from Morecambe, turning into an annual raid :)

A big win, and one that we needed badly.

Thought Craney had a decent game and looked very busy in the 1st half, not fully match fit of course and was right to replace him.

Winnard and Jacobsen's passing was all over the place, but to be honest I dont care, long as we win !!

Bring on the spirites !

Re: Morecambe thread
 

Cheers Redash!!!! Great pen by Sunbeds..

Re: Morecambe thread
 

There calling for McIlroy to be sacked now, and reckon he will be if they loose today
