Not as bad as many I've heard! Also - now we know what happens when the sure foot of Senior meets the safe hands of Coburn!

New idea for this season:

Since we have a half time bucket collection at all home games, let's see if we can add a bit extra via the match thread too. If you can spare a couple of quid, just go to  http://ideas4alty.webs.com/bucket.htm

You can pay by paypal or alternatively by credit/debit card if you haven't got a paypal account.

These commentators are so much better than Luton but are just as biased - no problem with bias as long as you deliver a decent commentary, covering the match when we have the ball as well as when you have it and show some respect rather than total hypocrasy will do nicely thanks.

Post by: Alty Dave on August 17, 2010, 09:56:56 PM
Whilst it was good to get off the mark with a point, we somewhat threw it away. What was Stu doing for the first goal? Big blunder.

Generally I thought we were better than them and based on what I saw they will be in this league next season.

Roll on Saturday
Title: Re: Tonight's match thread and commentary link
Post by: jimmyhank on August 17, 2010, 10:06:44 PM
Thought we played very well tonight and deserved the three points but such is football. Very encouraging signs for the rest of the season and based on the first two games I'm optimistic that we will be clear of danger.

I thought that the referee was awful. I don't think his decisions affected the outcome but he was very whistle happy and must have been using some sort of random decision making device. He needs to remember that football is a contact sport.

Bring on Crawley...
Title: Re: Tonight's match thread and commentary link
Post by: markecky on August 17, 2010, 10:12:29 PM
We played alright tonight..they were a typical team of Cooper giants.   Everyoine around me knew they would equalise when it went to 2-1..and thats not being negative we've just watdhed Alty toooo long.

Wanted a point before hand so suppose I've got to be happy.  However at the end of the season it will look like two points dropped at home as they will be mid table.

Chris Senior looked lost in the land of the giants.  I expect to see him back here on loan if we get any striker injuries. 

A great crowd..great to get nearly 900 of our own on a Tuesday when we often suffer...

Just scanned through the thread having just got home from work. Scared the cats & Jennifers Mum with a yelp of delight when saw we went 2-0 up!

Alas, I was premature with that.

Still, if someone offered 2-2 before the match would have been happy. We can compete with the alleged better teams.
Title: Re: Tonight's match thread and commentary link
Post by: ArmchairAlty on August 17, 2010, 11:14:47 PM
Would have taken the point before but shame we couldnt hold on for all 3. Fantastic attendance and great atmoshere, good to get off the mark and can't wait til saturday. Clee was again outstanding.

Post by: distancetraveller on August 17, 2010, 11:29:45 PM
Just back from the game... Well played Alty I was impressed by the way we knocked it about... 1st goal a bit of a fk up but hey ho...
I would have settled for a point at 7 o'clock tonight. Decent crowd and my two mates I brought both enjoyed the game and will probably come again when they get chance.

That woman Terry was shagging must be a good cook as he has piled the fkn pounds on  :D

If Darlington are one of the best prospects in the BSP then we are OK

Roll on Saturday

Cmon ALTY

Title: Re: Tonight's match thread and commentary link
Post by: chesteralty on August 18, 2010, 07:41:08 AM
Obviously it's better than losing the first two games 4-0, but I can't help but worry that that these points dropped due to 3 late goals already in two games could come back to haunt us.
Looking forward to Crawley on Saturday, hopefully we will lay these fears to rest!!
Title: Re: Tonight's match thread and commentary link
Post by: Jenga on August 18, 2010, 08:53:08 AM
Alty battled and battled last night and that can be said from the front to the back.

So what, if anything went wrong?

For me I think the substitutions were wrong. We were one nil up and on comes Dale and Holsgrove. For the reeves was on the pitch he raced and closed down defenders which helped get our first goal.

Dale just didnt do that and I even heard GH shout at him just before the attack for their second goal I think it was. The first goal saw Stu make a great punch about a minute before hand and he tried it again, possibly got carried away and missed it.

Yes i know Dale got our second but I dont think the subs were right.

Overall though well played everyone I am not dissapointed with a point, yes we could have won, but a point before the game I would have taken.

Two fancied full time teams and we only lose 2-1 and 2-2, scoring 3 goals. I am not concerned about this season at all now. We are strong we will do well.

Well plaed again people.

I seem to be the only one who is pissed off with the result. We were cruising at 2-0. I'm getting increasingly annoyed with our inability to see out the end of games.

In my opinion. the biggest challenge this season will be managing peoples expectations I fear.

Coming off the back of a "backs to the wall" performance at Luton where we never got a minute, we come up against another big strong full time side 3 days later.

You can only get players so fit in training on a Thursday..the rest will come with matches.

We often get mocked for our constant "we're part time you know" stance...but I think this season more than ever it will make it even harder.

I saw Stuart Coburn loading ladders on a van at 7:50 this morning...
