Ive got a strangely good feeling about today, anyone else have as well?

Just want a win today. Been looking foward to this game since wednesday. Hope sturrock plays Weston. Tans see you in the winners.

we're gonna do em 6-0. come on!!!!!!

Just a win please

 The day yes....the football ...no.

  I still love the ritual, looking forward to a bit of protesting as well.

  Gave up expecting anything more than crap from this side a while back.

  This could possibly be the first time I've watched the Town play, with no recognised central defenders.....which might be funny, in a black humour sort of way.

 In that regard we're almost like Chelsea.....but as far as I know we haven't rented a centre half to PSV Eindhoven.

gods knows what we will do today! i dont usually like to say its a must win but this one really is!Come on you reds!!!

I expect another nervey match which we must win... We can fall to 6th today.
2-1 win... I hope, I pray.

Although only our results matter now - I feel the need to take a look at the rivals.

Barnet v Stockport - On the basis of their form, you cannot see SC losing... but all runs have to come to an end.

Peterborough v Franchise - I'm hoping PUFC's home advantage counts for something. They've still got play-off aspirations

Torquay v Wycombe - Wycombe win

Walsall v Chester - Walsall should win but Chester can produce a result.

we better win today....

We so need a win but I think it will be a draw 0-0 or 1-1 low scoring.

While not expecting even a draw today, what with an unrecognised new defensive back line, injuries, non-scoring strikers, and probably a reduced crowd,  it might just be the day for a very surprise win. This would be typical Swindon (hopefully).

3-1 Swindon :) Might aswell go thinking we're going to win!

Shaun Hodgetts just mentioned the blimp!

2-0 win btw

Hodgetts is a wanker! :arsekisser:

So much for the wholesale changes to the side.

What I don't understand is how the likes of Brownlie and Monkhouse get one chance with Sturrock while others get countless

We don't really have many options though, without resorting to the youths. I would have liked to see Weston start in place of Pook, but I have faith in Sturrock's selection.

The line-up doesn't reassure me in the slightest - But fingers crossed eh.

We should get three points today (as long as we get a penalty!)

Let's see the response.  The referee is a brat.

no sub keeper,

their keeper is pretty handy.

i missed the lineup, can someone furnish me with this information please?

skin him shakes

No sub keeper, hopefully this means that up to three of everyone out there besides Phil Smith is on trial, and subject to immediate replacement.

Smith, Vincent, Smith, Nico, Westwood, Timlin, Pook, Shakes, Brown, Peacock, Roberts

Their goalie is a Polish under 16/17 international on loan from Bolton.

Ooooooooooo. Peacock hit the bar.

anyone got any info on their number 4?

He used to be in take that and has just come out of rehab... :soapy tit wank:

http://www.soccerbase.com/players_details.sd?playerid=35755

IIRC, I think he used to play for Barnsley at one point. He either scored or got sent off (handball on the line?) against us a couple of years back.

Sorry to disappoint you  :wink:

This might not be the right one, I'll keep searching.

Robbie Williams
Signed for Stanley, his first full non-league side, in July 1999 from St Dominics who the previous season had won the Liverpool Combination Championship and the Lancashire Amateur Cup. Unfortunately he was injured in the second league game and he was unable to play until the following January, though happily he is now fully recovered. Early in his career he had played in Southport's Youth Team, representing the Liverpool FA during his time there. The defender is a likeable character and has re-established himself in the Stanley first team.
Squad number: 4

Position: Defender

Date of Birth: 12/04/1979

jeff stelling just sneezed live on air

torquay up

TeamTalk:


1501: Games are beginning to kick-off across England and Scotland, with perhaps the most important clash coming at Elland Road, where struggling Leeds and Luton meet.

Sounds likes there's no change from recent form. A little bit of urgency would be nice  :roll:

mk dongs losing

gooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllll

I expect Luggy told them to play in a very disciplined manner, and not let one in early.  I think Pook was selected as he and Timlin are the mosr reliable in front of the depleted back four.  Acrington score a lot of goals for their league position, expect 0:0 at half time, time to have a cuppa.

gooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaallllllllllllllllll

Corner. COME ON SWINDON FFS.

Crowd sound in form today.

Stockport winning.

crowd do sound good considering how shite the game sounds

brown to take the free kick, score, then rip off his shirt and join the crowd ala tevez?

Timlin close. This isn't good enough.  :x

dongs and wycombe both 2 down

8 players have played for their dad in the premiership - name them.

dons 2 down :)

without cheating

Redknapp Harry and Jamie at Soton

Which would be good if we were winning.

Ferguson Alex and Darren at ManU

Did Strachan play his kid at Coventry?

Yeah Coventry.

Frank Lampard?

Clough Nigel and Brian at Notts Forest

stockport have just conceded a goal, scored by oliver allen.

Penalty Come ON!!!!

PENALTY

gooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllll

thank god!  :beers:

GET IN!

Get IN!! phew

Good on you Smithy  :mrgreen:

Third time lucky eh lebowski!

Handball, or Roberts tripped?

Handball by the sounds of it. 6th minute of injury time too according to the internet updates!

Accrington manager complained after the whistle. If what Phil King says is true then he can go fuck himself because they've been time wasting all game.

Morning all ! Bit of a lie in today. Sounds as if I arrived just in time!  8)

NMH

Town 66% possession, is that a record.  

Once the whistle is blown after the goal is scored, it's in the books, no point in complaining.

indeed most of the first half was dire

Paul and Kenny Dalgleish?

Harry & Jamie Redknapp

land of bo steps up and slots it home. 2 more to get.

nomoreheroes, someone already got harry and jamie.

Get in  :mrgreen:

Stockport losing now

just need chester to bang one home now

Is ANdy Todd anything to do with Colin?

yes.

land of bo on a hat-trick now...

Are either of the last two fairly recent?

Sorry, only just woke up !  :(

NMH

Oxford losing too

only one left now manc red - pay attention!

the last father-son combo is from the early years of the premiership.

GOOOOOOOOOAL!

2-0 come on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NICO! :beers:

Johan Cruyff wasn't a Premiership manager was he ?

NMH

No.

Nicho will be on the beers tonight then  :beers:

Oxford 0-2 Forest Green Rovers  :shock:

Macari's son was here and at West Ham but I dont think he played.

NMH

:Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :D more like  :mrgreen:

Go Nailsworth !!!!  :D

NMH

Yup.  :D

Too right  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Oh fuck it  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

walsall score a pen boo

fucking walsall winning

But the good news is that we're winning and we could have a 3 point cushion with a game in hand which is better.

which team lebowski...? can't think of any more

coventry.

the father was, and is, an arse.

afternoon all.trust me to miss a game when we look to be cruising to victory

Good job George Best wasn't a Premiership manager.

Ron Atkinson?

and his son dalian?

nope.

Bobby and Jon Gould then.

cant think of earlier cov managers

there we go.

that was fun wasn't it?

ah good shout Rich

Wycombe are getting a proper thumping today.

name the only player to have scored a hat-trick in all four divisions, the league cup, the fa cup and at international level.

1633: Remarkably, Torquay have a third against Wycombe. Chris Robertson surely seals a rare win for the bottom club.

Robert Earnshaw?

ian wright?

Thats easy - Twas Gordon Milne for about 10 years before Dave Sexton and then Gould, Mackay, Sillet....Then I would have to go to the internet !

NMH

Ted McD of Bournmouth?

rich pullen is right.

name the player to have played in non-league, all four divisions, fa cup final, league cup final, uefa cup final, champion's league final and world cup finals (tournament, not match).

Franchise 3-0 down.

Steve Finnan?

showing your age there ;)

Akpo Sodje is having a good day for Port Vale - 4 goals!

yes rich. these are too easy aren't they?

Self-Confessed football nerd I'm afraid  :oops:

actually you're right, fulham qualified for the uefa cup a few seasons back but he hasn't played in the final

dons 4 down

I thought so. But still you get the feeling Finnan has earned his career accolades.

Peterborough have been down to 10 men since the 70th minute too.

even better  :soapy tit wank:

How long left and is it 2-0 still ?  :oops:

NMH

Still 2-0. 8 minutes to go.

Sorry, had a bit of a thing for Coventry in my youth. Must have been the black and white lines on those sky blue shirts !

NMH

1646: Luton have a penalty at Elland Road.......and it's saved! Dean Morgan's kick is stopped by Casper Ankergren.

A few @rseholes puckering there.

Walsall have beaten Chester.

A goal from Brownlie wasn't too much to ask was it.

Not at all  :roll:

Roy of the Rovers

Oxford lose 2-0 to FGR - Now I shall laugh.

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:  :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

Thats hopefully why he's playing for Chester and not Swindon

NMH

Sean Close.

Cmon ! I need to go to the gym ! Is it over yet ?

NMH

Earnshaw

No, and stop moaning.... :soapy tit wank:

Ted McD.

FULL TIME

Judging by the radio. Easy win - Accrington were no threat whatsoever.

Ow fer God's sake ! Can we just call it 2-0 and can I go please ? Must have been pretty boring as noone has posted anything related to the game other than the goals and how long left !  :(

NMH

wahey, important points today

Right ! I'm off !

See ya chaps!

NMH

the average salary in the accrington stanley squad is £27,500 per year.

You can go now... :wink:

Great result

This was what was needed, goodbye Stanley.

i can hear the protests on the radio

You can hear the protesters on the radio shouting behind Ed and Phil.

Brilliant!

One Bill Power seems to be the cry....

Yep go for it lads, we need this board out now!

And the lads were good to thier word...they didnt protest till after the game had finished so it couldnt affect the players performances on the pitch.

Rubbish game, rubbish ref, great result!

Peacock Motm for me. Stanley were dreadful and conned the ref so many times. I would like to see how many free-kicks the ref gave to stanley. Also the two speedway girls in the front of the town end were fit as phowar.

if anyone cares for it/missed it caught post match interviews (well end of sturrock, jack smith, westwood & nico

3 poins are all that count, and today was job done.

Elsewhere it was nice to see MkDongs get dicked, we took 6 goals out of their goal difference today which may be important. Other than Walsall it was pretty much a perfect day.

Nice to see Forest Green win their local derby too.

DAMN! i didn't see them.  :?

I seen one with sun glasses on.
She was amazing  8)

It's spelt POWER.

And no, Bill is sexier by far

Poor game, we worked hard and deserved the victory, but mainly because Stanley were no threat whatsoever. They seemed happy enough to settle for a 2-0 defeat, they remained at 4-4-2 for the entire 90 minutes :? Something tells me they have a points deduction on the way..... and they can only have had 50 fans there, pathetic when you consider we took over 800.

We played ok, nothing to write home about, but it was the result that was the important thing. Hopefully, we can use this as a springboard to better things, because we're going to need to play much better to get promotion.

Nicho was my MOTM, but Sharon Brown was excellent, a constant threat with his set pieces and Lee P was workman-like as ever. Worries me that we have to rely on our left and rights backs to score our goals..... but meh! 3 points and back into 3rd

Points Deduction for Accy Stanley might be 4 points.

Stanley never really caused us any threat in the whole 90 minutes, and are probably the worse team i've seen at the CG all season.

Peacock did well, sharon done good, and timlin had an ok game. IN all honesty, we won without really breaking a sweat. Stanley were time-wasting right from the off though, which was a bit wierd. seems as if the sponge and spray has now been replaced, by the magic tea towel.

There was a bit of argy bargy at the end apparently, some fat bloke running up to one of the chavs at the front of the TE and telling them were to shove it. Wish i had seen it :(

gary STANLEY would have given us more of a game today.....

Accrington Stanley were awful today, the worst team ive seen play footy in ages.

Saying that, we played equally bad.  We had so much possesion, yet we seemed to play too much hoofball which got us no where.  We only looked like scoring from set pieces.

Man of the match defo goes to Peacock, as he once again ran his heart out, and was the only player who looked hungry and up for the match

Makes a pleasant change from only looking like conceding from set pieces. An important 3 points, if we can get 4 from the next two games we'll be well on the way.

Blimp looked good...shame it was yellow rather than orange but it got the message across nonetheless.

i thought the blimp was gonna be one of those huge things, like 50 ft long :(

first time in ages there was no booing the team- the crowd were very patient in the first half.its a pity we dont have to play stanley another 6 times this season they weren,t half the side morcombe were earlier this season i was quite relaxed all match. :beers:

We couldn't find enough matches for our poker game in the CGH, then someone had to play pool and we moved and couldn't be arsed any more.

Very easy game. Town did all they had to do to win and it was clear Accrington weren't going to score so town didn't really need to press the game much after the 2nd goal went in

Also when we went back to play pool, the cover was back on the table . It was all a bit quiet and ashamed

You could hardly stand up si-pie let alone play pool you fecker :-))(

 :Ride On Fatbury's Lovestick:

I had to pour him into Joy's car to get him home.

And hey, you're a top man, Millom  8)

I agree. Thought the crowd were good considering how poor the opposition was. Pressed urgency without getting on their backs.

Accrington are non league. End of story.

Thanks for the lift mate, i must be the only man on this planet who's taken a full pint with him from the cgh, and once consumed,gone to the bar in the village for a re-fill only to be told by the bar lady that the glass was'nt one of theirs!!  :oops:
Had a couple or three after you dropped me off and potentially discovered something that could be of great interest re: location of any new ground!! I wont expand until PaulD has done some digging, but at least its not chippenham.

Millom

If you'd stuck around the protest for longer you would have done!

Shit game,but the three points is all that matters at this stage of the season.Some bloke was sat near me who'd only come to the game to see Stanley play,fucking freak :roll: Enjoyed the magic towel chant from the Townend  :soapy tit wank:

I had to go and catch Thamesdown's finest.

one had a tattoo on her bottom  :D

how teh fuck do you know that? Got lucky did you?
meh

 :shag:  
 :soapy tit wank:

the lycra was white juuuuuuuuuust above the botty...and there was a tattoo...

ok it wasn't actually on her bottom but with a bit of mental photoshopping she was even better

Pervert

 :soapy tit wank:

Yayyy!

Bennett joins my club!  :soapy tit wank:

bennett was just more subtle than you alan that's all  8)

"Subtle" is somebody else's name.

one of the girls was in the new inn last week looking Goood Mooorning. That's about it.

eh?

As in not our names.

I'm more like a baseball bat and you're more like a shrinking violet.

Cue:

ahh yeah i understand now. i can't help it...i've been hurt too many times before  8)

I'll hurt you just once more then.  8)

You must be impervious by now.

xxx

you'd think so wouldn't ya? you probably don't remember us having a sensible and quite deep discussion in the cgh do you?  :(

Oh yes I do.

That was then and this is now.

Pop Quiz?

no ta!

let's hide it deep deep down

fuck hate?

whoops.. well spotted daniel

Shouldn't this be renamed

"The Official Accrington Stanley were really, really shit thread ?"

I started that  8)  8)  8)

 :soapy tit wank:  8)
Just one of those great fan things where everyone in the ground picked up on something,and you Pie,you put it to music,its all too beautiful [sob :wink: ]
