Well said Lee, we'll do what we f**king want in our own ground

Brian Flynn writes, "Further to an interview on BBC Radio Northampton with Brackley Town goalkeeper, Billy Turley in which the Saints' skipper criticised Altrincham for 'celebrating like they had already got to the final' in Tuesday night's Blue Square Bet North Semi-Final 1st Leg on Tuesday, Brian Flynn asked Altrincham manager, Lee Sinnott, to respond with his view.
Turley's comments were supported by his manager, Jon Brady, who said 'Some of their celebrations were a little strong and it seemed like they feel that they have won the whole tie".

Lee Sinnott response was 'It was a fantastic match and when you come back from a goal down to score two late goals in such an important game in front of such a large and passionate crowd, you expect the celebrations to be as joyful as they were but, at no point did I detect any sort of indication that any of our players were behaving as if they felt the overall tie was already won.

Brackley are an excellent side and we know that we will have to be at our best on Saturday to reach the final. This morning, I have watched the highlights of the game on Alty TV and, again, I didn't see anything in those that showed any sort of disrespect for Brackley. After Simon Richman's equaliser, the players celebrated with our supporters and Jake Moult's winner was celebrated near the gate where our players come out for the second half, but away from the Brackley bench.

In fact, Jefferson Louis's goal brought equally emotional celebrations from the Brackley players in their bench area, but of course the vast majority of fans in the ground were our fans, therefore it probably didn't seem to have the same intensity. Perhaps one or two of the comments, in those interviews, weren't thought through properly, in terms of the context of the situation, but there is absolutely no way that anyone in my team is going down there on Saturday thinking that the job is done'.

The BBC Radio Northampton interviews with Billy Turley and Jon Brady can be heard 1 hour 54 minutes into the programme to which there is a link here.

Spot on Sinnott a claim of over celebrating is very bizarre brackley are becoming a little bit tedious

[Mrs Warbouys]

They're just a sh*t Stevenage borough

[Sarf London Alty]

Brady displaying all the class and grace youd expect from an Australian who spent 4 years at Rushden and Diamonds.

[Mrs Warbouys]

Reading his full interview on the website its clear he's a clown and a worried clown at that. Lets just remember which side should have been 0-4 up at burton at halftime, the same burton that won at playoff favourites Bradford tonight, the occasion will get to them, not us.

Brady displaying all the class and grace youd expect from an Australian who spent 4 years at Rushden and Diamonds.

Turley displaying all the class of a line snorting, dragon chasing, playoff bottling journeyman that spent 4 years at Oxford United.

[JTH]

We all know Billy's a wrong 'un and the Manager's obviously a bit worried. Not very classy I'm afraid Brackley.

[wayno]

There celebration for the first goal was not exactly muted

Well said lee Sinnott

[EX GK]

What did Brackley expect?  Polite applause!!! 

[Paul Cain's Chip Pan]

Turley just letting his tongue tun away with him after some post-match snide deal! Brady just coming across as a bit childish really.

Good on you, Lee!

[Jenga]

Will be interesting to see how time wasting billy does on Saturday, I expect his goal licks to be a little quicker, the guy is a tool.

In order to ease brackleys tensions if we score can all fans please clap nicely and the players simply jog back to their own half ready for the kick off.

Thank you.

[Mrs Warbouys]

I would also like to suggest to the two clowns that Northampton towns full scale pitch invasion after a slender 1-0 first leg victory over Cheltenham (who'll beat them at whaddon road) is over celebrating.......what county is Brackley in?

[markecky]

When Jake Moult's goal hit the back of the net we really should have turned to each other, shook hands and shouted "good finish Jake but it's only half time" instead of exploding in a roar not heard at Moss Lane since Freemans goal against Chester.

Good response from the manager, clearly as baffled as we are.

Very poor mind games.

[ASMO]

Lee shows a very professional approace , very honest interview .

[ArmchairAlty]

The obvious demonstration of team spirit and closeness to the fans clearly got to them didn't it.

Good stuff!
