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

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!

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.
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
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.
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
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.
I watched the Lee Charles vlog which covers the pre - match guzzling of Alcohol by so called Blackpool fans in the Marquee, which in turn explains the almost animal-like behaviour behind the Coppice-end goal.
Also much credit must go to Dimitar for his handling of the extreme provocation he had to bear from the ' whatever they all themselves ' massed behind him.. Mr Cool in my book from now on !.
As to the inexplicable laissez-faire attitude of the Referee towards the bottle and flare throwing and the head- butt ?. Another official who it appears has much to learn before he is allowed to control (?) another League match ?.
BUT, the Stanley spirit provided the Reds with a good point against another of the EFL's so called ' high -flyers ', and now in my opinion ' the only way is UP !'.
ON STANLEY !..ON TO EVEN GREATER THINGS !!.
Could somebody please send me the link for the v-log (or whatever) than I can pass it to the police.
I have already got good still photo's of the last incident.
We gave Blackpool fans a 2nd chance with the bottles, a risk we can't take again IMHO. Will hit us in the pocket with less secondary spend.
Over 300 BFC fans paid on the day, which I suspect will cover the ASFC police bill for the match

Good interview with Seamus Conneely on the Fishy site but another total waste of time interviewing the manager in an area that is noisier than a weaving shed at full tilt. This isn’t the first time either. Don’t these so-called interviewers never listen to their efforts and realise what a waste of time it is if no-one can hear it? Is there not a quiet room or area of the pitch that they could use?
Think if you have a look at the Blackpool forum you’ll find most of the fans are keen for the culprits to be identified, since it will be the fans collectively that suffer.
There’s always a few idiots wherever you go and only so much that officials and other fans can do.
If you go to an Italian match security can be very tight and you have to show your passport as well as your ticket about three times before you get in. But still loads of flares get in.
So, a bit of self policing from the good fans is probably a good idea as stewarding can’t be 100%.
(But if you take photos of fans lighting flares in Italy you can get warned off if any ultras see you with your camera. So that might happen as a counter move to self policing).

Exile - yup, agreed. Surely can’t be that difficult to get sound levels right?
Ref - seemed ok to me. Thought our first booking was a bit harsh and yes, we should have had a corner, but over 90 mins no real complaints. Did he give a drop ball when someone hit hit with the ball? If so, Is that a new rule?

Also, the new rule re passing it to a player inside the box from a goal kick. Seems sensible to me, but anyone know why there was a rule previously that said you had to pass it outside the box?
Yeh but why was he allowed to overule the liner? who had flagged it and had a clear view? its ludicrous to me.

Cos a linesman has only one stripe and a ref wears two?
