Re: Southend Thread
 

thanks Dan. Interesting that Coley alludes to us having 'passed up opportunity to go into the play-offs" in the past. Last season we had ninety four games postponed that would have seen us into the play offs had we played and won - what chance the weather will beat us again!!!!!! (joking of course)

Re: Southend Thread
 

my thoughts on that comment are last season we had a few who were not quite as keen. plus certain players have improved big time.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Coley needs 1 point to match the record points set last season. For ever improving the 11th straight year.

Re: Southend Thread
 

This might also be of interest - a former Red backing us for promotion:

Re: Southend Thread
 

like coley said these next 6 days are biggest in his career, i agree- stanley will never have a better opportunity to get right in the mix........go do it red men.

Re: Southend Thread

Re: Southend Thread
 

Loud & Very Proud and what Loweiy said

Re: Southend Thread
 

Good luck tonight lads! Will be listening out for updates on the road. Will check in on here when I can.

I believe. :)

Re: Southend Thread
 

Bring em on !!!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

Head long and proud Stanley back into League One where we belong; the future is bright, the future is defiantly Red. On, Stanley On!

There’s nothing left for the Reds to prove, play hard now and attack hard, give them no peace or opportunity to come back. We’re going up by right.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Cheer's Dan, any chance of a bit of sound tonight.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Doug, somewhere between none and none mate... Not that the idea is entirely dead in the water, but it's not going to happen this season.

Aside from the old text updates from me, Radio Lancs have regular updates and Sky are sending a reporter so presumably updates from them too.

I believe BBC Essex have commentary if you can get it...

Re: Southend Thread
 

Dam it.. it dawns fine down here...was hopeing for rain so as I could stay home and follow Stanleys progress. DAM DAM

Re: Southend Thread
 

Cheer's Dan, I'll stick with you..........

Re: Southend Thread
 

Stanley are again unchanged for this evening's game with Southend United at the Crown Ground.

The Reds are looking for an eighth successive home win.

Stanley: Cisak, Winnard, Edwards, Hessey, Jacobson, Procter, Joyce, Ryan, Craney, McConville, Gornell

Subs: Dunbavin, Long, Barnett, Lindfield, Putterill, Murphy, Boulding

Re: Southend Thread
 

The main stand is a bit of an elbow-fest - tickets for a fiver may well have worked!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

We are under way at the Crown - Stanley attacking the Clayton End of the ground

Re: Southend Thread
 

4: McConville just fails to connect with Procter's wayward shot to guide it in

Re: Southend Thread
 

7: Joyce is denied a first goal in nearly 18 months by a Glen Morris save. Fairly routine though.

Re: Southend Thread
 

1-0 - Stanley CRANEY

Re: Southend Thread
 

Gerrin Craney !!!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

McConville's corner headed in at the near post by Craney who is in a rich vein of form

Re: Southend Thread
 

Beautiful.......

Re: Southend Thread
 

kin beast. Get in

Re: Southend Thread
 

21: Ryan lets one fly from distance and his effort clips the top of the cross bar

Re: Southend Thread
 

Seems everyone else is at the game doug

Re: Southend Thread
 

And straight after Craney gets one on one, beats the keeper but his shot slides past the far post

Re: Southend Thread
 

25: reverse pass from Ryan plays McConville in inside the area on the left - his shot stings the keeper's hands

Re: Southend Thread
 

Evening all !
The Reds seem on form again! Great stuff

Re: Southend Thread
 

Their RED hot....again. I wish I was Mr. Beast.

Re: Southend Thread
 

indeed

Re: Southend Thread
 

what's the pie situation today dan

Re: Southend Thread
 

I bloomin hate living near Southend. When we were away to them I was in Accrington, when we're at home to them I'm down here.

C'mon you reds!!!

Re: Southend Thread
 

42: Craney floats one just wide

Re: Southend Thread
 

If its turned as cool over there as it is here, it wants to be something quite substantial, maybe with mushy peas & gravy too ! :D

Hereford & Wycombe 0 : 0 half time

Re: Southend Thread
 

2 mins added - Cisak punches Hall's free kick out for a throw

Re: Southend Thread
 

Hot pot would be good I reckon

Re: Southend Thread
 

It's getting a bit tasty here - we've had three Southend bookings and one for Stanley. There have been a few bits of what you might term "Accy Aggro"

Re: Southend Thread
 

Half time - 1-0 to the Reds

Re: Southend Thread
 

It's time we had a couple of Curry stands. Accy Vindaloo, Red and hot.

Re: Southend Thread
 

If you're looking for spicy Red Doug, you're talking Tikka mate, mind you Tandoori Rovers up the way might have something to say about it :D

Re: Southend Thread
 

Sorry guys but its 9:50 pm and 21 C here. :cool:

But at least you get to see some matches.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Crushing pie news - free pies for Accrington Stanley's most dedicated reporter (that's me by the way...) look like a thing of the past. Too many folk in the main stand!

Re: Southend Thread
 

That's no way to appreciate English FL footy on a Spring evening ! :rolleyes:

Re: Southend Thread
 

Well I appreciate you Dan.
I'd send you a pie but they don't do them here, philistines.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Off we go again...

Re: Southend Thread
 

That's not on Dan, you'd best get yourself all militant & threaten them with withdrawal of your labours :D If there's no Pie it's time to man the barricades "All out" & light the braziers ! ;)

Re: Southend Thread
 

50: McConville seizes on a defensive error and races in - his shot is parried though

Re: Southend Thread
 

Attendance is 2222

Re: Southend Thread
 

58: 1-1 - Ryan Hall free kick

Re: Southend Thread
 

Over 25 yards out the Reds gave away the free kick, Hall stepped up and drilled a shot into the bottom left corner

Re: Southend Thread
 

Hope they had enough pies ;)

Re: Southend Thread
 

Damn & blast !!! :(

Re: Southend Thread
 

61: Craney shot straight at Morris

Re: Southend Thread

Re: Southend Thread

Re: Southend Thread
 

Yee haa - I believe ..... roll on Macc!

Re: Southend Thread
 

I think Proccy's got 7 yellows for the season. You can check on here: BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | A | Accrington | Results.

The FA rules are a bit complicated but you can have a look here: http://www.thefa.com/TheFA/~/media/F...2010-11-v1.pdf (page 330).

Don't take my word for it but I think he's OK.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Thanks Mike

Re: Southend Thread
 

7 is correct, 3 yellows before end of season and it's a 2 game ban.

Phil Edwards has been on 9 since mid Feb, so Proccy could be a while yet :D

Proctor's yellow card tonuight was poor by the referee.

Re: Southend Thread
 

Just looked at the rule link :-

5 cautions before end of december =1 match suspension
5 cautions before end of season =warning
warning an further five cautions = 2 match suspenson
ten cautions in one season = 2 match suspension

Proccy should be ok but Phil needs to keep a clean sheet

Re: Southend Thread
 

Can't do my usual cool, analytical report tonight as I got carried away with the atmosphere on the Clayton End. Just magic. Please don't let me wake up from this dream.:D

Re: Southend Thread
 

Superb! On we march.

Re: Southend Thread
 

What a crap referee we had tonight ! Keep up the Brilliant work you REDS .

Re: Southend Thread
 

As an ex-ref I usually see things differently from most of you, I saw the same as you all tonight.

hmm seems to be a bit of hatred for our great club because we dare to enter the play-offs with crowds lower than theres...
