Retardation is obviously epidemic in Morecambe.....There's a massive difference between a game called off before kick off and one in the second half.You can bet if you were leading 2-0 with a man sent off you wouldn't want the game abandoned and Ellison wouldn't be a Oscar candidate.

Not only disappointed with the game being called off on "the usual health and safety"issues(excuses)but what about the decision to allow those 20 or so Morecambe retards to come over to the Clayton End at half time and antagonise the home fans? They had no interest in watching the game,they were out for a confrontation,booting the metal fence and giving aggressive gestures! Surely they should've only been allowed up to the half way line,it's not as if the end was full and posed safety issues?!
Leaving aside the abandonment, can anyone tell me how the game was going, e.g. were we obviously on top before or after the sending off? For some reason there are no stats showing on the BBC report.
Returning to the abandonment, might it have been the right decision if we had happened to have been losing or a man short at the time? Only asking ....

I believe the game was very even in the first half,as you would expect Stanley came out with more venom at the start of the second half but didn't have long to prove it.Morecambe totally stage managed the postponement by Ellison turning deliberately to the only patch of water near the touch line and playing the ball in it and throwing out his arms and shouting at the ref,but this is only my opinion.
Pretty accurate Chubbyman. My view was that it was only a matter of time before Stanley scored and that they would very likely have scored again to make it 2 - 0 or possibly 3 - 0.
As said before Ellison was at the referee as they were kicking off for the start of the second half......and definitely took the ball into the only real wet patch down the left wing in front of the main stand.
Anyway guys, we will just beat them as normal on a tuesday night to come.
ON STANLEY ON
To the benefit of other clubs
What a load of old ballcocks. The bald-headed scouse tart Ellison purposely kicked the ball into the area of standing water and went screaming to the referee. When the referee subsequently abandoned the match Ellison raised his gloved hand (who's ever heard of a scouser wearing gloves because of a bit of rain?) and waved towards the Clayton End grinning like a Cheshire cat.
Purposely kicked the ball down the wing he was playing on you mean?
It was an awful match played in awful conditions. There were no clear cut chances. The best chance was Ellison's looping header which hit the bar.
For those judging Bentley for wanting the game off, had it of been the opposite way round and you were playing with 10 men im sure Beattie would have done the same as its in the best interests of his club.
Best interests of his club......you mean basically cheating.
Well this is Jim Bentley thoughts Boss's postponement thoughts
Obviously after reading his statement he's as handsome as he's honest......
The referee made the decision not Bentley, he merely influenced it. There was standing water on the pitch and conditions were getting worse. The referee stopped it before it became farcical.
Without the exaggerated input of Bentley and especially the theatrics of Ellison who deliberately turned and played into the water,the ref wouldn't have ever considered stopping the game when he did.This was obviously plotted at half time in the dressing rooms.........cheating!!!
So what was wrong wi stopping play fer 30 mins,then restarting if it warranted,the rain had stopped the pitch soon drains when forked, but no cheating cos down to 10 was the choice.
Cheating would be pouring water on to the pitch, you are questioning our sportsmanship which is different. I genuinely believe any other team would have done exactly the same in our position.
I wouldn't be making such accusations given the tarnished reputation of your club.

The rain didn't stop I got **** wet through on the way back to the station, and rain was forecast for the rest of the day.
If you'd looked over your shoulder you'd have seen Jim Bentley following you with a watering can!!!
