Hartlepool match thread

The Lloyd household will be interesting, one stopping trying to stop somebody on the way to promotion and one hoping for a win which sadly relegate t'other halfs team
what a game and what a result. formation was spot on and the first half we looked like the home side with some thrilling football. they changed it a bit at half time and got more possession but never really looked in danger. fosu was like a breath of fresh air on the left. I got my 11 battlers I wanted plus some of the seasons best football. only downside was the corners. until scott davies got a header in late on we never seemed to cause them any trouble whatsoever.
Hang on me owd mucker, was our first goal after 3 mins not from a short corner?
though i dislike em meself.
Just seen a vid on facebook of last night now i'm famous pmsl
Wasn't sure if that was 'I'm famous' or 'infamous' then Cashy??
Fellas, this really hurts but here's wishing u all the best going forward.

Cheers CC, feel sorry for you guys at the minute - maybe your lads put so much into our game last week they just ran out of steam before last night??
If we do make it (& everything's crossed that we do) would be great for you lot to follow us up - wouldn't be the same without the Shrimps

It was worth the journey to the North East John just to see the looks of elation and joy on the faces of the mighty Reds as they came en bloc to be with their fans as the game ended!.
The vision of happiness submerging fatigue will stay with me for a long time. The Management and players certainly deserve all the praise and plaudits for a job so comprehensively completed, and can look with pride at the league table today !.
Agree it was well worth the trip,and the end of the game was something else, my West Brom fans remarked at the Orient game how pleased they were wi that same thing.
summat never seen in the Premiership was there remarks.
The video clip confirms what I thought last night about the Hartlepool goal. As the ball came over, the scorer wrestled Mark Hughes to the ground - with the referee in perfect position to see the blatant foul.
But well done to the entire team, management and supporters. There were 181 of us last night - compared to just 45 at the corresponding fixture last season. Also a Tuesday night in April.
Having only seen the video it did seem bizarre. The ref was perfectly positioned to see throughout. Why did he think a centre back would take a dive defending his own goal? If the header had been saved or missed, would he have booked Mr. Hughes for the same offence as he booked Windass?
felt like **** yesterday. these games are getting to me. went down the local dry cleaners yesterday as they are less than half price at home. the guy in there does the pools kits and he,s a fan as well. saw my shirt and I couldn,t get out of the place saying we,re the best side he,d seen at the vic. in over 20 years supporting them and in his words we made Northampton look like a pub team.

MEGA comments guy!
I've been away on holiday out of range of T'internet.
Got result on Tuesday from my daughter via mobile text and I nearly turned the caravan over in celebrating!!! (My mobile is ancient like me and doesn't do T'internet!)
Just watched the videos, now... (Friday night), and just wished that I had been there!
Having said that I must agree that the stick that a few have given to Sean Mac is out of order.
Let's face it ....... in a team of superb players, playing well, if you ranked them in order of effectiveness someone would have to be be 'Number One' and someone would be ranked 'Eleventh' but it is likely that they would still be very good.......that's what makes a great 'TEAM' ....(or 'SQUAD'). We have had a selected 'Eleven' who have done so well all season, but it has not always been the same 'Eleven'. The 'Squad' has worked well with Coley and Jimmy trying to maintain continuity in their selection but having to cover injuries and suspensions, (thankfully not too many suspensions this season....a possiible factor in our success?)
They got it just right on Tuesday with the energetic Halliday selected in midfield and the combative Buxton coming in at left back........Spot on IMHO against opponents with recent good form and confidence.....Reflected in the performance and the result!
It was great to see on the fans video the joy of both players and supporters United in celebrating a great victory!
ON STANLEY ON!
