Ipswich home thread
- Thread starter andyd
- Start date
Brave effort but ultimately 10 men cost us ref got Conneelly card colour wrong, always looking for positive,s made Ipswich look nothing special even with a man down 3 players limping off Morgan coming on and a decent shift but injuries piling up and brave Colby battling along for 90 + 11 minutes clearly not fit could barely jump near the end, hope the news on Baxter isn't bad cannot afford to lose him I think rest and relaxation is the format for Saturday, unlucky lads.
Agree with you Twenty Eight. Second half, even with ten men, we were nearly as good as Ipswich. With eleven I believe that we would have won the match tonight by a couple of goals.
I concur with that synopsis - couldn't believe all that bad luck happened in one game, hoping that we've used up our share for the rest of the season
i aint sure di i have had the view for ages that many refs are against stanley, no idea why but thats what i think.
try to watch games with two hats on. a stanley one and my refs one. whilst fans and players of all teams thing the ref has a downer on them i have got to agree that stanley rarely get the rub of the green from match officials. this little club v big club thing seems to still exist in the game.
agree with that. everything seemed to go for them and if stanley had gone in at half time with the lead the second half may have been different. holding a lead and trying to get back into the game with 10 men are quite different propositions.
Seems ilogical they committed more fouls than us but only got 1 yellow to our 3 yellows + a red!
I smell a conspiracy!
bit like at the wham where the ref seems to let things go with both sides then decidedes to clamp down. we get the yellow card first. then the other one when the opposition are committing loads of petty fouls. how many times have we said that he,ll book a stanley player next and been proved right. at times we are not as street wise as others on the pitch.
Maybe we have got a major discipline problem with too much back chat to refs. Coley admits he has told the players that only the captain should be speaking to the referee and assistant referee's. But I saw at least 6 occassions in this game where....Hughes, McConville, Nottingham and Smyth were gobbing off at the referee during the game......all players upset with decisions I'm sure...but they couldn't keep quiet. We all know referee's very rarely change their minds once a decision has been made....so why continue...Maybe we have got a poor reputation in refereeing circles......they no doubt all talk amongst themselves.....?
doubt stanley are any worse than others. its just human nature to say stuff when you feel something has gone against you. if talking back was deemed detrimental to the side gillingham should be propping up the league with evans and his gobby mate giving officials real grief. imagine when officials see they have a gillingham game it could be looked at as an added reason to get things spot on to keep em quiet. think the changing rooms may have em having this down on stanley more than the players. from a personal point of view i have always started a game with a better impression of a side with good facilities than one where it is under par. thats not saying i,m biased but you never know at the end of the day that subcontiously you are.
Roll on November then, when the main stand developement may be nearing completion.
When dining out , from a personal point of view I have always started a meal with a better impression of a restaurant with good facilities than one which is under par.... but then I am terribly biased MH !.
As kindred spirits then, do we both share the theory that our feelings towards life events , including those football based could well be driven by some subconscious thoughts ?...
Do you know what MH ? , Sigmund Freud would have been happy to know that two posts on a simple football website supported his thinking !.
Now, I'm going to take my medication and then analyse the Manager's notes on the Gillingham FC website !
Stay safe and well !
Hope you're listening Mr Holt?
Gold plated taps, free shampoo & 3-ply bog roll in the new officials changing room please.
If and it is a big if, it was due to the state of the place and the facilities, then we would not have this issue in games away from home?!
One of the games that Coley was aggrieved about was Crewe the other week...... away from home.
I am not saying that our facilities are anything more than acceptable, but the one thing that I know - and have witnessed on many occasions - is that the match officials do not have any issue whatsoever with the welcome and hospitality they receive at Stanley
I would even go as far as to say that some look forward to coming (unless it has changed in the last few years!)

Ladies and Gents;
Due to Covid we have upgraded the away teams changing area into a new portacabin near the dressing rooms. This can be clearly seen as Paul Smyth crosses the ball for Dion's goal on the highlights.
As a result of this the away dressing room wasn't being used so the match officials have been using this facility all season. Every team of match officials has complemented us on what facilities they are being offered and the warm Whambley welcome.
Really frustrating when we have poor decisions go against us.
To me, no point in having a go at refs, as what is certain is they'll be meeting up with you again and their decision is final during the game
