Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

I thought Opoku and Evtimov might have been candidates for MOTM today.... underwhelmed by Simpson and Pritchard. Pritchard seems to boot all his crosses miles too far.
Overall a scrappy game. Finlay and Clark failed to make their usual immense contributions.
Can’t argue that a draw was the fair result. Amazing atmosphere.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

I thought any of those 2 for MoM today,also. doubt if simpson is near ready for div1 yet. Think Opoku is a real catch and aint even playing in his best postion, but doing a fine job yon.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

Really impressed with Opoku seems to fit in well with our style of play and comfortable going forward.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

...Happy enough with the point..but dam glad I stayed in bed for this game because boy it would've been a super grumpy Sunday if I was up to see us concede at the death. At least getting result 3 hours later takes a little of the emotion away. Now off to golf where all my playing partners will talk about is rugby.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

Small margins. McConville buries one of his two gilt edged chances and we win.
Dion’s header a few inches lower ..... Sykes heads straight at keeper from 3 yards ...... and we win.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

Feel for Simpson but he’s just not ready.
Hopefully Bishop back sooner rather than later.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

Simpson didn't look match fit but showed a few good touches hopefully when all strikers are fit they wiil push one another,Pritchard is a talent still finding his feet not enough minutes for me but we have a huge squad and only 11 can play,

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

So, Dimi had beer bottles thrown at him again by the thugs disguising themselves as Blackpool fans??
How much more are they going to be allowed to get away with before action is taken??
I for one don't buy the sob story of the Oysten era to excuse this behaviour but it seems the allocated referees do!

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

Should be fined and the perpetrators rooted out and banned for a long while I was in the main stand towards Clayton end and was affected by the fumes from the smoke bombs anyone who think these things are fun needs their brains replaced.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

I thought was bound to be a red card, at the end of the match, I was actually allowed to question the 4th official as to why it was not a red card, he said it was a push in the chest

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

Going back to the smoke bomb I watched the Blackpool vlog on YouTube this morning actually films the lad lighting it and then aims and throws it deliberately at Dimi only just missing him could have been serious if it had hit him gladly it didn't, come on Blackpool fans you must watch it name and shame him get a ban for life he deserves it.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

I hope blackpool sort this its unacceptable also too late when someone gets injured.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

I suspect Andy Holt will ban beer being sold for the away fans when they next return, which unfortunately will hit Stanley in the pocket, but is the only sure way of any repeat occurences. As for the lad on You Tube or whatever lighting the flare, maybe the Blackpool board should identify him and as others have said, give him a long ban. But it does beg the question re security outside our ground. As for the game, due to a family wedding, I was unable to attend, but the highlights seemed to say Stanley were the better team although the stats say otherwise. Good point IMHO

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

There is always the option of reducing allocation and no pay on the day I might be wrong but suspect the '' hooligan '' element paid on the gate and probably drinking all day probably same mob they had problems with on a damaged train back to Blackpool as posted on their own forum.

Re: Blackpool Match Thread.
 

its a shame overall the pool fans aint bad, but idiots and scum get into all clubs.thats why their club should sort this, it gives a bad name.
