Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Copied and pasted this from an earlier 'Match Thread' as it applies to all our matches.........

Yet another MASSIVE MATCH for The STANLEY.
.......They are ALL BIG MATCHES these days it seems!
That "TWELFTH MAN" on the terraces is really needed today!

COME ON THE REDS:theband:
ON STANLEY ON.:wave8:



This time it is the FA Cup 3rd Round v Luton Town, at home Saturday 7th January 2016.

I am sure that Coley and Jimmy and the team will have been working on the psychology of developing that 'Winning Mentality' or 'ruthlessness' that we have perhaps lacked this season. Cup matches need to be won at the first attempt really especially when drawn at home. So I fully expect the Stanley team to be really going for it tomorrow. At stake is a healthy winning bonus but possibly a very large bonus if we won and then drew a big club.........

COME ON STANLEY:wave8::signbeer:
PLAY UP FOR THE CUP YOU REDS:theband::thepint:
KEEP THE FAITH:s_gupjump:s_gupjump:signbeer::cheers:

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Oh dear....look what I've found to cheer our hearts !.

Man in the middle: Darren Deadman - hugely experienced official who is now in his 14th season, showing 99 yellows and five red cards in his 28 games this season ,

Still, it could have been worse I suppose ?.

ON STANLEY ON... TO GREATER THINGS !.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Not good news for us at all, our record in matches with Mr.Deadman in charge doesn't make good reading - still, suppose things could change tomorrow - there's a first time for everything :rolleyes:

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

McGeehan out with broken leg, great player, wish him a speedy return, see they have signed D'ath from the cobblers as cover, FA cup magic Stanley to win

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

This may be just my tablet, or it may be just the FA's incompetence, but there is no mention of Stanley's game agin Luton on the sweet FA's official web site.

try page 2 match no. 31

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

I shall not be in attendance tomorrow, Just as well as with this referee our chances of winning which were slim have been drastically reduced. It is a sad day when you just know the ref is going to spoil a game.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

From all your comments it looks like we will all be on 'Referee Watch' tomorrow!:bigglasse

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

No mention of ticket sales in the articles on the front page of the ASFC site involving the game.

Either sold out or not on sale now, or the people running the club think money is not really needed. Shambles.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

i,ve just got a funny feeling we,ll all be happy by 5 tonight. don,t know why its probebly because a lot of us have written the game off for one reason or another. its just stanley i suppose.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Might not be too clear but in the 'match info' section it gives prices, says it's an all pay game & that you have to get a ticket before going through the turnstiles so it seems it's just the usual match day process to me.
Hope so, I haven't got a ticket yet as decided to wait till today to make my mind up & after my first week back to the grind after the Christmas break I think I need my Stanley fix so will be at the ticket booth early with money in my grubby mitt :)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

And I hope that you will find it to be money well spent !... glad that your grubby little fist is on the mend !.

See you there !

KTF

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Can anyone clarify, does a 3rd round stub guarantee you a 4th round ticket?

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

keep it just in case, if we did manage to win and draw a high profile club at home in the next round i imagine there will be meltdown on here if anyone who goes today can,t get hold of one because of sponsors etc.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

surely monkey hanger, they wouldnt do that!

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Dont kid yerself dav.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

In the event that this does come to pass then anyone who goes regularly never mind just today should be guaranteed one as there is plenty of room normally but you never know these days

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Jumpers for goalposts!, it's round 3 of the FA Cup day.
Time to stop moaning about ticketing or prices or whatever else you feel like griping at.
The ghosts of butchers, bakers and candlestick makers of Accrington will be pulling down their shutters about now. If you listen carefully you might hear the faint clatter of clogs on cobbled streets as they head to the Crown. "If only such a big game would have been around in my day". They mutter.
Ye gods, I'm alive! I can hardly wait.

2-0 to the lads. The pride of Lancashire.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

As far as football is concerned those days are long gone and more's the pity. Money and greed have taken over and may ultimately kill the game at this level but for now the dream of the FA cup goes on.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Clean sheet please !!! 2-0 will do :)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Edwards starts today that should be very interesting imho.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Dropped the wrong player today thought he had the better game:confused:

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Have to disagree Mate, thought Mcartens attitude let him down meself.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

1-0 Stanley S,M. scored a cracker by all accounts.:)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

That should reignite the debate!!!
Come on Acci :)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

25yds cashy!!

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Yeh i'm aware Mab, pity the consistency is lacking, otherwise we would certainly have a player, glad hes conjured one up today.;)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

1-1 Gray.:(

2-1 Omar:)

Starting to sound like Hartlepool match

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

1717 400 from Luton

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Hoping for Rochdale or High Wycombe next round, no fancy dan teams.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Great result dont really care slong as its another home match.:) The brass will be very handy fer em

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Nice. So far 2017 has been a beaut.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Couldn't make today, got stonking cold (man flu)? & at my advanced age, more sensible to stay at home, & rely on Dan's text commentary.
Was also listening to BBC radio on BBC Three Counties,,,,, talk about biased!!
I think a couple of weathermen had been drafted in, as all they wanted to talk about was 'the fog' engulfing the ground.... they were really hoping it would be called off! I live less than 0.5 miles away, as the crow flies, & could still see to the end of our road, at least 250 yards!
Anyway, great result, so sorry I wasn't there, hopefully will be for next round, at home vs Man City (my second team)!

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Another with man flu today
But confident now its going to be Millwall away please

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Did well today, mcconville did well with an excellent finish and cross for winner. Brown and Connelly in middle at times struggled to string passes together and Chapman still doesn't take command enough but the whole team gave it's all. Kee benefitted again from having the new lad alongside him whom showed good touches. 4th round he we come.#excited

Well done, Stanley.
It's bu****ed up my plans for a birthday trip to Morecambe, but hope the Voodoo Gods bless us all with an away trip to Old Trafford and a share of a big gate.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Great result .

Even better is the £65k prize money + ticket sales that we will get from today.

Oxford away in round 4 then??? ;)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Well that was a fantastic win for Stanley. It may be that we are turning the corner at last on the team front. As someone who has questioned the management capabilities recently. I will also be the first to say well done to all. I hope we can pick up this form in the league, I am looking forward to see who we get in the draw. Then let us see how the club handle the tickets and pricing.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

As a neutral down from Glasgow for the day I was wondering if knocking back Everton v Leicester would be a choice I came to regret however I thought today was a great experience and exactly the sort of thing I was hoping for from an early round FA Cup match.

I love that you can get a decent pub price beer before and during the game. The stewarding is relaxed and affable, and it made for a great atmosphere in the Clayton end.

The fog looked ominous at one point, and towards the end of the second half it was probably match threatening, but common sense prevailed and the game was played out.

Best team won, and I'll be keeping an eye out for your score in the next round.

All the best!

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Decent performance. Defence was a bit dodgy at times but overall we were the better team and deserved it. McConville put in some very good crosses. None better than for the winning goal.
Fog was amazing. Didn't even know their player had been sent off til afterwards. Could see very little of our goal for the last 20 mins.

Apparently some people refused, on principle, to go because it cost £20. More fool them. It was worth a couple of ponies or more.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

YAHOOOOOOOO.....!!!!!!!!!:alright::alright::alright:

A POSITIVE OUTCOME AT LAST AND FULLY DESERVED!:theband:

The team played well against a resolute Luton team.
Beckles had a cracking game and desrved his MOM award which he capped with a great header from a McConville cross. Sean scored the first goal with a super shot on the run cutting in from the left wing. Billy had a good match and benefited from the support play from the new Number 24 Jonathan Edwards. Edwards played the support role well and he looks to have good physical strength and a good football brain. This partnership could develop really well for us in the future.:alright:

We took the lead in the first half and then allowed Luton to equalise fairly early in the second half and we all thought......"Here we go again!" ............
But we got back in front and then scored the second goal and managed to play the game out.
The referee to his credit had quite a good game and he frequently allowed play to carry on when there was an advantage situation. He did however miss one or two bad tackles in the first half. Right at the end he did send a Luton lad off for what looked like a cynical tackle near the dug out but from the Clayton End it was difficult to see what happened through the fog!:bigglasse:idunno:
Stanley deserved the win today and I really hope that we get a lucrative draw in the next round!
ON STANLEY ON:theband:
WEMBLEY BECKONS:cheers::signbeer:

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Cost was never an issue wi me, twas the simple fact treat me like crap then whomever gets it back. the F.A.Cup by the way happen to be my favourite games, always have been.;)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

I wasn't referring to you Cashy. I understand your reasons.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

How did Edwards shape up by the way?

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

I thought he was quiet with some promising moments.

I think we also moved up one place in the table today. (Orient went below us?) Everyone below us list apart from Cheltenham who didn't play.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Don't let the result fool you, we played exactly as we did on Monday.

Both times after going ahead we forgot how to play football and resorted to hoofing the ball straight back to their men whenever we had possession.

It's good that we've started taking the lead in games but we need to manage the position better - Luton could and should have scored 1 or 2 more.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Think we must have watched a different game Sam, not that we could see much in the end anyways. Thought if anyone looked like scoring in the last 10 it was us. Great performance and a deserved win.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

I thought you hated the Premier Greed teams?

I hope we get another league 2 club.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

I make a suggestion : that on each match thread, someone posts the final score at the whistle . It took me, not for the first time, 15mins to ascertain the result.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

To be fair it took us that were there a while due to the fog and all . . . . . :rolleyes:

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

[QUOTE=Chewbacca;1184713]I thought you hated the Premier Greed teams?QUOTE]

True, but it's the Greed bit I hate, not the teams.
I used to pay my 1/6d to stand on the Stretford End and have sympathy for those local fans of teams that have been bought by global speculators as a trophy brand.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

sreat team performance today against a luton side that tried to play 200 mph football but lacked composure especially in front of goal. a word about the officials . thought darren deadman had a good game especially having to carry the main stand lino throught the game. missed 2 blatent off sides in the second half which could have been costly for us.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

[QUOTE=Exile on Spencer St;1184728]wow, that takes me back!
We must be similar age, as, when a kid in Manchester, I used to go to Maine Road..... sixpence bus fare, 1/6d for the game, threepence for a programme, & threepence for a pie at half time!
That was it, my whole half crown spends gone in one afternoon!!
In those days, you could share a bus ride back to Piccadilly with the majority of the first team squad.... never happen these days!

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Ref had a great game.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

the goals for every game are on the BBC website except Stanley's game!

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Is that not sufficient Bob? posted the match ended.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Nothing new there

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

They're obviously saving the best for the highlights show tonight :D;)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Used to take us a lot longer when we were in non league, particularly pre-conference days - had to wait till Sunday morning sometimes for teletext to catch up!
If I may make a suggestion - would it be possible for you to attend an odd home game or two, that way you'd know the score at the earliest possible time & not have to wait - just a thought

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

i suspect sabotage from a McConville hater. Lots of em about.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

The bbc highlights are just the goals doesn't even show their lad getting sent off

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Thats because the camera couldn't pick it up, I'm still mystified as to why he was sent off. PS Sean Mc's goal is a cracker

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Some reports say he fouled Sean in front of the dugouts. The BBC 3 Counties commentator seemed to think the 2nd yellow was justified.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Right in front of my eyes as well Mike !..it was a bad tackle from behind, I thought it looked two-footed and studs up also and would possibly have been a straight Red Card ?....
Thought also that their No 4 was heading for a second Yellow....being subbed possibly saved him from this ?.
Earlier I questioned Darren Deadman's efficiency, or lack of it ?..but I thought that he officiated quite well...for once !.

KTF.

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

S,M.s goal after seeing it last night was arguably the best of the 3rd round matches imho

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

Well said Cashy!
I too have been a doubting Thomas. I too have said disparaging things about the boy wonder on this forum. Mea Culpa!
Well no more, for I have seen the light. After 'Super Sean's' exquisite 25 yard curler into the onion bag, I am converted and shall henceforth no longer question Coley's sanity every time he's selected.
Let our voices ring in unison.
'Super, super Sean
Super, super Sean
Super, Super Sean
Super Sean McConville'

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

If he had consistency in his locker, nothing but praise would be forthcoming, of that i am pretty certain.;)

Re: Match Thread - FA Cup v Luton Town
 

It does show our players can produce the goods when needed, why not in the league?? I hope we have turned a corner and will start to win in the league and climb that table rapidly where we should be battling at the top. Perhaps the discontentment of the fans has made people take note and push others into action.
