Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

1-1 - Trialist!

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Even first half,contrasting styles with bridge being a little more direct.
Good work out tho

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

2-1 Celtic!

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Oh dearie me - Coley cancelled their day off for drawing with Skem, they're not gonna have another day off all season for this! - still the other half of the first team did ok this morning with Sean Mac netting twice in the 4 - 1 win at Radcliffe so not all bad news

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

4-1 at celtic also.:( wrong way round though.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

All about getting fit,it was obviously a big game for bridge and they upped their game,were it was about fitness for Acci

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

That doesn't exactly reassure me - as it suggests that after two weeks training including a trip abroad we're still not as fit as a team of part-timers?

Or were we just doing grid sprints and ignoring the ball completely?

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

The lower league teams always play a more direct game,indeed their number9 was an handful in the air,but took all the throw ins as he launched them in the danger zone and the centre backs went up every time.
It's difficult to defend against, but with a bit more fitness we would have ripped them to pieces

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

well am glad someones optimistic, at this stage i aint.

"The Stanley traillist who scored at Stalybridge today was forward Rod Young" Fishy Twitter

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

The right winger who scored looked like the best player on the pitch, may have had more if it wasn't for the iffy offside. The key moment was when the clear penalty was called offside at 2-1 and the keeper played all round a 40 yard cross shot free kick for 3-1 just after.

Stalybridge look like a good well run club with a ground far superior to Stanley's, about 150 on today, good food and beer at reasonable prices.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

I remember going to Stalybridge years ago, it was some piddling cup match & Chris (psycho) Butler missed the decisive penalty kick - was an impressive ground then, would've like to revisited today but didn't work out - hope to be at Halifax next week, again for the first time in quite a few years

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Despite what it says on Twitter, according to Dany on t'fishy site, it was 5-1 at Radcliffe and Sean scored a hat-trick!

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Even better - good lad Sean, can see it now - he's gonna be our saviour this season :)

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

i hope to be there too and that coley plays the side he hopes to start with the week after as it will give us all a better insight for the season ahead.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Any news on the new lad Lacey,s injury as he appeared to hobble off the pitch.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Lacey caught on muscle rather than bone but v sore and out for several weeks.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

I aint been to Halifax since late 50s, so hope to be yon, also hope the grounds in a much better state now.:D

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

It was partially rebuilt when I attended last friendly we had there.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

it was that bad in the 50s Haggis yeh woulda had to do it up to get it condemed, behind the goal was just a slag heap.:D;)

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Just like the rest of Yorkshire really.:D:rolleyes:

Found his level then has he?:rolleyes:

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

More than likely.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Halifax beat Morecambe 6-2 yesterday ... and also a strong Sheffield Utd side 2-0.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

So if our lads can get their act together & beat Halifax, we get the bragging rights over the Shrimps before we even play 'em :)

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Be a good test against Halifax,
They have two forwards,one 6-9 and the other 6-3 !!
Morecambe were winning 1-0 at halftime!!,
Very hard to compete with them in the air,so defending second balls is key.
Be a stern test,especially from corners and free kicks

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

We had a trialist keeper from Burnley who had a mare.

Barry Roche would have saved most of their goals.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

And probably would've been red carded as well :rolleyes:

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

He certainly owes us after last season.........;)

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

you,ll be surprised when you see it. completely rebuilt on three sides and quite modern looking with good facilities. only thing left is the old main stand which i don,t think is used anymore. far too big for them and was developed when the rugby league side were on a roll. think the council poared load of money into it. miss the slag heap as you alweays finished the game a yeard further down the bank than when you started. good old days however when football was football and the only refreshments worth an arguement was the the weakness of the bovril.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Aye but Halifax was always worth a visit, loved the pies.:D

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

yes forgot about them. they only cost the same as in the shops. good old days. no rip offs, getting soaked at the game with your old man or your mates and your ma moaning at you cos you got soaked again.

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

So you weren't there on New Years Day 2006, the season we won the conference to witness Rory Prendergast celebrating a Halifax goal in the 2-2 draw right in front of the Stanley fans. My blood still boils!

Re: V Radcliffe boro/Stalybridge
 

Nah mate not yon then, are yeh going sat or what?
