Don't worry, C.C. I'm sure Cooky will take it in his stride.
Unless I missed anything particularly offensive, I think that giving the keeper stick is par for the course. It's part of football, and as long as they take it in their stride and have a laugh with it (thinking Roberts as an example), it's all part of the fun. IMO.
As for the Jimmy Harvey song, I couldn't agree more. I couldn't quite believe people had gone along with that with the timing as it is.
As for the match, as others have said - game of two halves. We were brilliant in the first half but one goal was never going to be enough. They were always going to come at us in the second half and we ended up second best apart from one or two late efforts. Still think we're heading in the right direction.
Don't know about that, Red. Seeing kids of about 12 giving the 'W' gesture and shouting the appropriate word makes me sick, for one.
I can understand that, to be fair. I'm not overly fond of it myself, but it'd be hypocritical of of me to correct them as I'm not exactly a great role model in that area. I still stand by my post however from an adult giving stick point of view.
Found it funny when Cooky turned round and apologised to the moaning old Twits 
After they complained about his use of a Naughty word

.Certainly was a game of two halves, but I can't remember Nicholls having a save to make in the second half. I thought we defended very well and looked very compact, which made Morecambe shoot from range or try to get around us along the wings, which they only managed a couple of times. It did mean that we hoofed it up field to no-one in that half, but when we broke with the ball we were very impressive.
A very encouraging display, even though we were wasteful in front of goal (and Roche made some great saves). For the second game in a row, the away team only scored because of a central defensive howler. My man of the match: Danny Coid.

That doesn't surprise me. I wasn't there last night but, on Saturday, I thought Danny had an outstanding match.
I agree with most of the summing up. Roche made some great saves late on as Bobby Grant looked to be really relishing being back at Stanley. He was very unlucky not have got a goal towards the end of the match. It is great to see Grant and Devitt attacking down both wings and firing the ball in with speed. Bobby's whipped in corners were much better than we have seen for some time too. The defence looked much more solid apart from the mix up between Toto and Nicholls. Apart from that Toto had a great game and Nicholls tipped one over the bar superbly in the first half in front of the Clayton end. We seemed to lose the battle of the midfield in the second half and consequently we defended far too deep. We still seem to need a battling, enforcer in the midfield which we have not had since Procky left. Charlie and Luke Joyce are very similar in the way that they play creatively but they both seem to be a bit inconsistent with their passing at the moment. However, Charlie made some good runs down the left wing towards the end. I think that the team are gradually developing the way that Cooky wants them to play. With a bit more tweaking in midfield I think that we could finish the season well and I hope we can get into the top half. I think a play off position is too long a shot now though.
Come on Stanley.
Come on Stanley.
Great advert for League Two Football last night with the definative game of two halves
First half Stanley cut through Morecambe with relative ease with a high tempo pass & move game that was simply scintillating and the Shrimps were on the ropes while Stanley looked for the knockout blow but despite our endeavour we needed that second goal but credit to the Shrimps they changed their shape second half and came back at Stanley but we still looked a threat on the counter but looked tired towards the end which was hardly surprising given the tempo of the game.
Overall a draw was probably a fair result
Credit to the Ref I thought he was one of the best we have had at the Crown for a while tried to let the game flow and took no nonsense.

For me personally, Coidy could still be playing for Blackpool if it wasnt for injuries.
No doubt he is a massive asset.
Praying he stays fit till the end of the campaign
Definitely showing the class we know he has in abundance now he is getting a run of games and being injury free
And the Linesmen probably best ive seen at crown this season. We remarked what a refreshing change.
Linner on mainstand side was abissmal TBH totally mist the elbo in Peter Murphy face,missed the foul leading up to there goal a few hand balls!!1 Cooky and co were going mad,interesting what PM said to Bav's when he got subed Quote "why come out of the goal why!!" unquote ,refering to the mix up and gifted goal.Seen the goals to night murphys goal Brilliant play and finish,shrimps goal well if you aint seen it .
