Great Win Today

In some games it is better to play hoof ball with teams like Darlo who have big men so its not as easy because they break us down.

But when we play teams like Barnet and Wrexham who like us, like to get the ball down on the floor we absolutly paste em!!

Actually he did make comments (since edited) about the size of Boco's wedding tackle

I saw the comments before they were edited (and, as I write, they're still on view in the quote you included in your initial post) and I saw no reference to size. Still. let's hope the whole incident was a one-off.

Surprised no one has mentioned Andy Todd yet, as I thought he made a huge contribution to the game. He looked shattered when they took him off and I'm not surprised with all the effort he put in.

Encouraging to see that we're fourth in the current form (last 6 matches) table!

The original post included the words dick, black and big. I think the latter implies size and therefore is a racial stereotype. The quote in my post is censored.

Zero - Fair enough. Things are sometimes posted in haste and are very often taken out of context on here. It's not often that incidents like the one you witnessed occurs, but as you say, it's up to us speak out.

As for searching people at the turnstiles, then it certainly happened at the beginning of the season, as my mate had his bag searched at the turnstile. It wouldn't surprise me at all if random searches were not introduced.

I think Bob Paisley put it better when he said, " it's not about the short ball or the long ball, it's about the right ball."

Thought Zero's analysis put up some good points, the defence seemed to be 5 individuals for a period after half time. Only Rocky seemed to be getting a grip, brilliant tussle with their No.7 all afternoon.

Why doesn't Rocky get the credit he deserves? Great reaction at final whistle.

There doesn't seem to be the same atmosphere at home, away matches generate a volume and continuity of support that is far superior, why?

It's just not the F in Roof, is it?

Drink and roof.


away from you get the chat out of the way before you get to the match so can concentrate on the game itself

at home, everybody chats throughout the game and you get interloping friends of friends who come and stand between the singing folk. Their should be a reserved section where anybody in who aint singing gets fined. All profits go towards beer.

Toddy is a total one off, did everybody see him looking at Craney's free kick nestled behind the stanchion, what a big kid!

It's a joy to have him on Whinney Hill. He's up there with Russell Payne as far as I'm concerned, and you don't get better than that.

To be fair, they were all shattered, it's just like me when I finish work .

OK, it's a fair cop, guv. The first post I saw had the asterisks in.

Pure class, nail on head etc.

I go with friends who understand that not a word comes out of my mouth during the 93 minutes, home or away, unless it's in support of the team.

Chat, what's that about anyway? If you need to, do it in Asda!

But make sure you stand in the big empty space in the middle of the store and don't block the aisles!

Just as a matter of interest do any posters on here have any connection with "The Accrington Stanley Diversity Forum"?

I love away games and come away from every one with no voice left. The last two home games despite winning 2-1 left me feeling like we had lost there was no atmosphere. To me the reasons are:
1 No Drum
2 No Roof
Thats it, at Watford everbody was spread about but it didn't stop everybody joining in, same at Bury. Diesel you must bring the drum for the Swindon game, I'm sure it was the big drum the Livingstone Rd moaners wanted banning, your drum does not create the same noise but it gets the crowd going.

 

[maccawozzagod]

are cymbals banned or tambourines? Surely a tambourine cannot be an offensive weapon?

Depends whos holding the thing and how far the refs standing from the Clayton end........... I don't mind these things but not too close to the back of my head thank you....

Another point from Saturday - one of the Wycombe staff was sent to the stand by the referee.

Unfortunately, the stand was full, so he had to sit in the sponsors' seats, just as close to the pitch as the dugout!

Should we arrange some sort of naughty corner, further away, for people like that? With no roof, obviously.

 

[DanTheMonkey]

HAHAHA

I agree with the points about the drum, we really do need it back, i also think the players must get a boost out of it, at least a chill down their spines
