Red Herring

Willie Miller · 27-01-2005, 18:15

in the Observer today, I know he's never the happiest of supporters but today he's positively suicidal!

Does anyone know where he lives I need someone to go round & check he's okay!

Seriously, should the fans view not be from somebody that can try & recruit fans with his column not put them off coming. Stanley is always a good laugh regardless of result so why all the doom & gloom............................

Red Herring is Smiffy thats why he goes to all the games now ssssssshhhhhhhhh

I have to agree that Red Herring is one unhappy fish.I am all for free speech and everyone is entitled to their own opinions but to have given up on the season and say as much in the local rag is beyond the pale!
It's not gonna have the crowds flocking down to the IES is it?
Let someone a bit more enthusiastic and optimistic have a bash!
Red Herring=flat fish!!!

Stop him before he does any more damage....

Give the job to Dan from 2BR he is always fair but upbeat and positive

Oh Well ! The lads will just have to get into the Play-Offs in front of crowds of less than 1,000.

I haven't read it, but I suspect I know the berk involved.

I've been reading the Red Herring column with interest all season.
Most weeks I haven't agreed with what he has said and thought the
guy is a complete prat BUT this week I think he was spot on.

If you were one of the unfortunate people to be at Tamworth you will
know exactly what I mean. Very poor performance, Never really looked like
scoring and we looked nervy at the back.

Sorry to say but after the last four or five performances my hopes of the
play offs have gone completely (I hope I'm wrong)

It's not Red Herring that will stop the crowds flocking to watch Stanley, it's the performances by the team. Only the players can prove him wrong let's hope they do. Personally I think we have missed our chance this season, we should have been well clear of the chasing pack by now but our silly results have lost us the chance. Next season I think we will do what Barnet are doing now and win the league by a mile.

I agree that it's results & performances that persuade people to come to matches but this person has been trying his best all season to put people off coming to Stanley & some people do believe whatever they read in the press, I've stopped reading his (or her) drivel cos it just winds me up & I can't believe that whoever writes it can be a Stanley supporter.

I haven't given up on the season even if some of you have... I don't believe the club have given up either even if red herring writes in the Observer that they have.. How some of you can condone telling people that the club has given up is beyond me

6th in the league and only 4 pts off second place.
In two cup comps
15 league games left and 45 points to play for.

If you people want to give up on the season now then fair enough.. But I think the bad run will end at some point and we are in a great position to get in the playoffs if the bad run ends soon enough...

red herring tells you the club have given up on the season and now your in here saying you think its lost... red herring has a lot to answer for in my opinion..

Willie Miller · 28-01-2005, 09:50

If Red Herring had have finished his column with "still 45 points to play for - I urge all Stanleyites to come in force for the Sacrboro game" then I would of approved..................

Yea but he never says anything like that does he? It's about time the Observer got someone more positive to write this column I think.

Tin Monkey · 28-01-2005, 10:12

I haven't really read the Observer since it went from being published on a Saturday, to being published on a Friday. Looks like i haven't missed anything.

KIPAX · 28-01-2005, 10:20

Officialy published on Fridays but you can buy on thursdays late aftrenoon onwards

The coverage of Accrington Stanley is brilliant.. the reports and pictures (hehe) are spot on... Its the fans corner where they let a fan give his view that lets it down. Its a golden oppertunity to give a positive message to other fans.. Instead the writer goes for the negative as much as possible.. This week he puts forward that the club have given up on the season........ sigh.. bet the club arn't too happy wiht that
