Re: Well Done Stanley
Well done indeed!
Great defensive display. I thought Beckles was brilliant, but the whole defense was great. Quite liked the French rightback's cultured play. And although I am not convinced Pearson is a left-back, he did well even without the goal. A bit sad to see Billy Kee being so poor. Offensively there wasn't much, with the possible exception of O'Sullivan, but it looked far better when Boco came on. He was a great positive surprise to me. And Lacey could be worth Another look, couldn't he? Cheers from Sunny Spain. Three at least! |
Re: Well Done Stanley
Unbelievable display after sats 2 half performance, this was a strong Burnley team, Beckles sure deserved his MOM, but the whole team NEVER gave up,Whatever Coleman said to em sure worked and they were a credit to the town. ON STANLEY ON.

Re: Well Done Stanley
Well done Stanley. Another Claret and Blue team in next round at the Olympic Stadium.
Never been such times. Hope you get to Wembley. |

what happened to chris eagles?

Re: Well Done Stanley
Excellent match to watch, thought the crowd might be low considering it was announced as live on Sky. Beckles and Donacien bossed the defence. O'Sullivan, Boco and Lacey all worth a mention in attack and just for the saves he pulled off, Parrish had an excellent night. Bring on hte Hammers at the Olympic Stadium. What have the team got to lose?

Re: Well Done Stanley
Well, Stanley have beaten a premier league team. Coleman said he felt his teams have not always rised to big occasions well they did tonight. Over the first 90 minutes it did feel a matter of time before Burnley scored but despite the pressure they didn't. Going forward we still look way off last year, billy kee is not holding the ball anywhere near as well and we just don't look as much as a threat in general. Although jonno looked pretty good today although his end product was a bit hit and miss. In extra time and with the introduction of rommy boco we came into the game and did a classic smash and grab at the end. Defence did really well as a unit today. I felt Seamus and Hewitt did well also. The home crowd of abit over 1300 is a disappointing number but those of us who where there made up for it with our encouragement and Clayton end singing. Maybe some of the accy Burnley and blackburn fans will see the light and fun we have and join us!

Re: Well Done Stanley
We did really well and I would agree well done Stanley because we got the result and that is all that matters but in the grand scheme of things we beat Burnley reserves with a bit of luck because they should have scored on more than one occassion but didn't. Coupled with the fact that McCarten should have been off for that challenge where he got a yellow but he wasn't so our good luck.
We can only beat the team that is put in front of us and it's not our fault that Premiership clubs treat this cup the same as we treat the new incarnation of the paint pot so lets enjoy it as we are through but gone are the days where these games are real giant killing games because the giants couldn't give a monkeys these days. Their loss and our gain but lets not go overboard more than we have to :D |
Re: Well Done Stanley
no Duncan, let's go ENTIRELY overboard! that wasn't Burnley's strongest XI by any stretch, but it was still a strong XI, and they brought on their ace in the pack (Gray) to try to avoid extra time.
Let's just revel in our only opportunity to gloat since reformation |

I remember the real days of cup football when giant killers killed real giants and you could wind up the fans of the big clubs but now only we care, they don't. But we still beat them so as far as we are concerned it is our night and we deserve it. Roll on West Ham and hopefully they treat this cup with the same contempt. |
Re: Well Done Stanley
Well done Reds!!:D I thought it was heading towards another penalty shoot out. :eek:

What I am saying is that I have been there as a fan of the big club. Once with Rangers when they lost with a significantly weakened team against Queen on the South in our equivalent to the paintpot. I work in Dumfries and some of the locals at work tried to make a big thing about it but to be honest it meant nothingto me. That is the difference between fans of big clubs and small clubs these days. Some competitions are an irrelevance to some clubs and the higher you go the more they don't care. It's not what football used to be about or should be about but those days are long gone now. I'm sure we both remember those days where pride mattered more than money but not anymore unfortunately. |

Re: Well Done Stanley
Great result STANLEY. I got to watch the first 80 minutes courtesy of Bet 365 and the weather gods providing rain. Alas, the clouds parted and I had to head off to work. Got the result on the phone and went ballistic !. The player that caught my eye was our right winger,O'Sullivan?,but I thought Stanleys all round effort was the best I've seen in the 5 games I've been able to watch via the internet.Most impressed by the singing from the Clayton End-it came through loud and clear. Top marks to Stanley and the Ultras.

Re: Well Done Stanley
I said we had a great chance of winning after watching them on Saturday and the lads didn't disappoint!!!
Well done everybody :) |
Re: Well Done Stanley
Does it feel any less good this morning?? No, it flippin doesn't - :D:alright:
Just hope we've got enough left in the tank to do the same to Morecambe on Saturday!! |

To me, the type of competition isn't important in the slightest. Nor is the fact that we have been drawn against more Premier League opposition in West Ham. In 5 years time no one will remember dodgy referee decisions for both sides, the profligacy of the opposition or their line up (which, incidentally, should have been more than enough to beat a League Two side - especially with the subs). What people will remember is the night we faced a top flight East Lancashire neighbour in a competitive fixture and actually won. Aside from pre-season friendlies, the last time we played this lot we were rattling buckets in a bid to save our own skins. For my grandparents who saw us play and then disappear from Peel Park, for those in my generation who had the p*** taken out of us for wearing Asda-emblazoned Stanley shirts on non-uniform day, and for the young lads and ladettes whose first taste of Stanley was the cruel departure from the League Two play-off race last season, last night was absolutely spectacular. Joy, ecstasy and a beautiful vindication for taking the low road; supporting a team whose own town despises its existence despite its on-going defiance to remain a Football League outfit. The attendance may have been a disappointment last night, but as with all these magical nights, there will be a new handful of people who are now as besotted by Stanley as the rest of us. If you can't be romantic as an Accrington Stanley fan, what's the point? :) Well done to John, Jimmy, all the players and Naz the kitman. Thank you! |
Re: Well Done Stanley
lets hear no more of this we only beat a weakened burnley team nonesence. they are premier league players and squad players, payed loads more than our lads do. you can only play against whats playing against you. we won last night and no one will ever know if we,d have won against their side of last saturday. lets milk it before we go up against the mighty shrimps on saturday.

Watch the highlights, Duncan, and tell me it doesn't matter! Great, great night. I feel sorry for those silly sods who could have been there but weren't, and missed one of the best nights at The Wham. Well done to the entire squad, management, and all the loyal fans who made it happen. Looking forward to a night out at the Olympic Stadium. |
Re: Well Done Stanley
What a fantastic result.
Gutted I was away working and had to miss it, though I did manage to catch it on TV. Must say the back 5 where magnificent. What a find Beckles is, looks like a 30 year old with 300 games already. Also thought Parish was brilliant in goal. Roll on Saturday. |
Re: Well Done Stanley
Absolutely delighted, delighted. Double delighted. Excellent result. Am pleased for everyone associated with Stanley. Yes!

My absence has I hope not turned me into a silly sod,or any less a fan of our team,, as I enjoyed every moment of the dissection of the mighty Dingles, and shared , albeit perched oh the edge of a sofa, in all the emotions felt by those at The Wham, and further share in all the bouquets being proffered in this thread. I will be there, Deo Volente, on Saturday to hopefully witness another sterling performance and another victory for the Reds. ON STANLEY..ON TO GREATER THINGS !!. (Although your appreciation of what Public Relations actually refers to leaves much to be desired !) |
Re: Well Done Stanley
A premier league team probably should have the better of us In terms of body strength, speed, fitness etc. In one area we more than matched them, that's heart. Well done.:

Re: Well Done Stanley
I thought Conneely was superb last night. He does a lot of the dirty work that often goes unseen and whilst he rarely passes more than 20 yards his pass completion rate is up there.

Re: Well Done Stanley
So was Chris eagles rested, injured or didn't want to get cup tied to help get a move to another club?
