Dons game
 

Was a bit nervous about this game being on, after the postponement....

F.A. Cup weekend - pity Burnley are at home(12:30) - but a good idea to try and get a few more in :)

On a separate note, this new 'safe standing' at Premier League Clubs is not a good thing for us :(

Re: Dons game
 

:) Safe Standing !! Have they ever sat down since it was introduced :rolleyes: never inforced unless you follow a lower league team then your made to sit down or worse :( remember Leeds away in the cup kids thrown out for standing.roachdale the same ..

Re: Dons game
 

exactly, plus how many of us have a spring in our backsides that gets activated with a corner or a goal opportunity. if you get through 90 minutes only sitting down its usually a bad game with a defeat. its not unsafe standing but unsafe crowding thats dangerous.

Re: Dons game
 

what do yeh expect? lower league clubs dont matter.

Re: Dons game
 

but fans of higher league clubs enjoy the standing experiance of the lower league clubs when they get the chance.

Re: Dons game
 

And that is my point/worry M.H. :(

More than once in the past, I have brought along friends, who are supporters of P.L. Clubs.

They all enjoy the great Stanley atmosphere, but also the fact that they can stand, rather than sit - as they do when they watch their own Club :)


:) :) :)

Re: Dons game
 

hope to see our new winger tomorrow play some part.

Re: Dons game
 

Tomorrow,s line up is anyone,s guess Morgan, Pritchard and Conneely still unfit, some players sick and some have COVID so new lad will probably feature somewhere in the 18.

it was the authorities and not the fans that wanted all seater stadiums in the first place. cannot imagine many not wanting the choice of both. same with other stuff forced on us and clubs especially at our level that was unwanted. the transfer window for me is the biggest one.

Re: Dons game
 

spot on monkey hanger AUthorities are to blame for much of the crap we suffer imho.

Re: Dons game
 

Terrible forecast for today - and as bad yesterday - this game going to be on???
:)

Re: Dons game

Re: Dons game
 

I shall take your advice Cashy :)

Re: Dons game
 

Colby will be on the scoresheet today ;)

Re: Dons game
 

It has rained ‘persistently’ all morning hear in Accy.
Met Office forecasts the rain to ease off around kick off time.
I think the match will be on, down to the investment by our Sooper Dooper Chairman!
Just LOVE Andy Holt!:wub::jimbo:

Re: Dons game
 

Coyle off straight red......foot connected with thigh.................

Re: Dons game
 

Hi Kiwi. I'm at home for todays game.....isolating with Covid. Listening to commentary on BBC Radio Lancs with Seamus Con summarising....

Re: Dons game
 

Morning /evening CG...hope that cursed covid leaves you soon. Get well. :)

Re: Dons game
 

Thanks Kiwi, I'm lucky in that the Covid strain I have just feels like a head cold. Should be able to come out of isolation by Thursday next week........more important I hope Stanley can stop MK from scoring. Their front 3 sound like a real handfull for our defence.......

Re: Dons game
 

Two subs for Stanley.....Pell, Amankwa on for Leigh and O'Sullivan.....Stanley playing with 2 upfront....?very brave...

Re: Dons game
 

You got that Omnithingy one?

Re: Dons game
 

Geeeeezz, I'll be happy with a 1-1 if we can only keep the swine out.

Re: Dons game
 

Yeah that's the one................. holding on........mostly MK..........

Re: Dons game
 

6 mind to go plus injury time

Re: Dons game
 

Cmon Stanly..just two more corners from any team and I get a nice wee divy

Re: Dons game
 

Yesss- they got them,,,now for a winning goal to make it super sweet.

Re: Dons game
 

Held on....1-1....a great point.......enjoy a drink Kiwi......I'm on Rum........

Re: Dons game
 

Good outcome with 10...good result...no doubt the ref was a complete ******. Next please.

Re: Dons game
 

Cheers, but Im going back to bed before tidying house-She that must be obeyed has been away and due back this arvo. Again, get better mate.

Re: Dons game
 

That’s a great point with 10 men for an hour ��

Re: Dons game
 

Must have been terrible to watch!

My stats site says eight per cent ball possession! 8 vs 92 in the Second half. Eight! You get that from throw-ins normally.

Re: Dons game
 

the ref was that bad , must be related to KETTLE, great point saved today,

Re: Dons game
 

Sending off ruined the game but you can't tackle with studs up these days as soon as their players surrounded the ref there was only one colour of card coming out, shame really because it was shaping up to be a good game. Excellent point though to be honest great defending and a touch of good luck earned a point that could be crucial at the season end.

Re: Dons game
 

Game spoilt by the sending off but oh what a battling performance second half with our backs to the wall. Glad to take a point in these circumstances so really well done Stanley.

Re: Dons game
 

Can you give me next weeks winning lottery numbers please Mystic Meg :D

Re: Dons game
 

Less his thigh - more like his crown jewels but he made a meal of it & jumped up quick enough once the red card was brandished.
Game was spoiled from that moment but what a defence masterclass we provided in the second half - well done lads for keeping the Southern shandy boys out

Re: Dons game
 

I know we were struggling to get hold of the ball, but their goalkeeper was just asking to be chipped!

Re: Dons game
 

The rules are simple. It was a red card as much as it grieves me to say it. I think Coyle's just got too much of an edge and that's been coming
That said awesome display for an hour - not for the purists but enjoyed that.

Re: Dons game
 

A game of ‘Three thirds today.
(Yes Thirds not Tu**s!):ooh:
First third was even, with Stanley making the brighter start and getting a great headed goal by Colby.
M K Dons got back level though for 1-1.
The sending off totally changed the match though. I was ball watching and didn’t see the actual contact but Joe and others around me said that Coyle’s foot was high with his studs showing so no complaints.
As Coley said in his post match interview, M K Dons like to play a possession game and the match stats certainly backed that up!:theband:
The half time substitutions worked well for us and our back four four were very resolute in maintaining their formation and in clearing their lines. The midfield line of five too worked well and forced The Dons out wide most of the time. Bishop, McConville and Hamilton in particular did a lot of running without the ball and were very effective in keeping our opponents at bay. I did feel that we could have brought on Malcolm, perhaps for Sean, for the last fifteen minutes. He would have brought fresh legs and the unlikely but possible opportunity for a ‘break out’ goal to take the victory.
The Stanley Ultras were great again today, particularly in the second half where they did their best to be the ‘Eleventh Man’.
A hard earned point in the end.
ON STANLEY ON.
KERP THE FAITH.

Re: Dons game
 

It was a red yes Coyle has an edge to his game and he his going to be an excellent player he will hopefully learn from today hope we tie him down to a longish contract because he his money in the bank for the future.

Re: Dons game
 

Good summary Choirboy, what did Steve think of the sending off??????

:)

Re: Dons game
 

Steve told me on the way home that he thought the sending off was a bit soft and that when we played in the sixties and seventies how that kind of tackle was the norm!…..”Crunch!”:gooddog:

Re: Dons game
 

Next time you see Steve, please let him know from me, that after seeing it on the television and from a different angle, I can agree that it should have been orange and maybe not a red - though, I do still see why it was given :)

:) :) :)

Re: Dons game
 

i see as well it was given cos he was a useless get to me it was a yellow.he was biased throughout the game i thought.

Re: Dons game
 

Most officials are Cashy - as you know :(

I doubt it will change anytime soon ;)

Re: Dons game
 

bet we all have seen something similar or worse done by opponents who got away with a caution. best thing todays refs could do is locking em in a room and forcing them to watch games from 30 plus years ago but then it would affect their mental health.
