Interesting.......very interesting.

Altrincham FC are delighted to anounce the signing of experienced centre-back Darren Tinson, who was at Burton Albion last season. Darren has also played against us for Shrewsbury Town. Darren has played for several Cheshire clubs having been at Northwich Victoria before moving to Macclesfield Town for £10,000 in February 1996. He was part of the Macc side which gained promotion to the Football League and played 263 league, 29 cup and 5 other games for them, scoring 4 times in the process. He then moved on a free transfer to Shrewsbury Town where he made 90(+2) appearances in all competitions and again won promotion to the League before joining Burton Albion from 1 August 2005. He made 80(+2) appearances for the Brewers. Speaking of his arrival at Moss Lane, Altrincham assistant manager Dalton Steele said, "Darren's a winner. He's proved that. We know what we are getting with Darren; I have known him for years". With Peter Band having left Moss Lane for Hyde United, Darren fils the vacancy at centre-back.
He may be an ex Macc and Northwich T**t, but this is a brilliant signing.Always impressed me at Burton.

What a fantastic signing, been a thorn in our side for years, just that sort player we need,great news
-
So, assuming Gary Scott doesn't stay do we have a back 4 of Rose, Munroe, Tinson, Peyton. Rosie moved to right back? I always liked Rose and Munroe together and would have them first choice centre backs, but this changes things somewhat. A good problem to have.
-
One of the few defenders I have ever noticed playing against us. A mountain of a player. I couldn't care less if he is 55...he is a quality signing.
-
Truly superb signing on paper, great news.
I of course wasn't available. :D
-
Just need to seal scottytee now and we're ready for a title winning season!
-
I think this is an excellent signing. I remember Tinson playing very well against United in the Cup 18 months or so ago. Quality addition I'd say.
-
Morning/afternoon Simon. Glad to see you on here, my Tiscali is broken again, can receive but not send. >:( >:(
-
This is a superb signing!!!! Tinson is one of the best defenders i've seen at conf level,absolutely massive. He may be knocking on a bit now but can def still do a very good job for us!
-
from limited viewings a great signing. he will organise us at the back as well.
bloody hell a football post from me

What he said. To a Tee. ;D
-
Absol amazing signing... Must forget all the M*cc comments :o) - Of course the reason why I gave him stick was because he's so good. He's controlled the defence (and our strikers) everytime we have played against him.. So after watching him for what seems forever play against us I can actually get to see him play for us.... GET IN !
Agree with Ecky, defo a player that as always stood out when we have played against one of his teams...
-
ahem *pauses*.......... *collects breath*................... GET IN ! ! ! ! !
just shows again that we can bring in quality players and not over spend (living within our means). but a great signing by the club. this has been a good week rele first a new director and now tinson, what next???
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ohhh Daz Tinson
He's not a a Macc tw*t anymore ..
He's not a Macc Tw*t anmore ..
OHHHHHHHHHHHHHH Daz Tinson ..
Sorry but this is an abols amazing signing .. We shouldn't be doing things like this ... Not many defenders you'd choose to sign ahead of him .. Barr Munroe I suppose ;D ;D ;D
This time last year i was awaiting for the AGM to start.. Now I have to wait another week :o)
-
I Can't believe this signing! on one hand i hate it, it means ive got to like him and on the other hand i'm in awe of the fact we have managed such a coup! neve seen the guy have a bad game, i know that is only limited to games against us but if he plays as well for us as he does against us were on to a winner, next i'll be hearing clare will be joining us!
-
Quality signing, just the sort of player we need.
next i'll be hearing clare will be joining us!
Don't tell Swaying that, I think he'd still try to kill him, even f he was in red n white!
-
Absolutely brilliant signing. With all the silly money being thrown about, it's amazing he's agreed to join us. I can't see us conceding very many goals next season, so got to be in with a chance now.
-
Probably another Dalton Steele coup by the looks of it - and its up there with the signing of Colin Little in my book. If he can have half the impact on the club Colin has he'll be an alty legend in no time. And he should eat up BSN strikers for breakfast. Rose and Munroe should learn a hell of a lot from him too.
All looking very good. Let's nick a 25 goal a season Unibond player from somewhere and we'll be laughing more than we are now. But given Graham and Dalton's obvious powers of persuasion we could end up with Lee Trundle or someone!
-

So, why can't you see us conceding many goals next season?
For a start, we haven't got a decent right full back or a left full back!
Tinson may be an experienced and capable central defender...but he can't cover both wings as well....

we do need a couple of full backs but would probably get away at right back with g scott and aspinall in bsn but not national
-
Warren Peyton was a very capable left back in the National, and will be an excellent left back in the Northern. OK, he may not class himself as one but I do if he plays there and we know we don't have to worry if he is in that position.
-
Tinson's a crackin signing. I worked with his sister for a short while in Chester.
-
Agree that Warren Peyton did a brilliant job for us at left back last season and will doubtless sacrifice himself to that position again this season - a real pro. Also agree that Azza can do a decent job at Conf North level, so not sure about some of the doom mongering. Injuries aside, I genuinely can't see us conceding too many goals, though scoring them may be a little more difficult without any genuine pace down the flanks. Has anybody heard what Chris Senior is doing yet?
-
wicked.
-
So, Colin Little, Karl Munroe, Darren Tinson......
Any more of our old boys you fancy?
We've released a few this summer. Colin Heath is about Conference North standard. I don't think Elfyn Edwards is playing for anyone. Perhaps Mark Lillis fancies another try at playing!!
Seriously though, Tinno was probably worth another season when we released him, and even though that was a few years ago now, he can still read the game very well. Good luck to him.
-
A quality signing no dout about it, but which two from three will start ?
I thought the Munro/Rose partnership was one the positive's from last season and woud like to see it continue but I can't see Tinson being brought it just as cover.
Thoughts.
-
Maybe GH is looking at bringing Rose in at right back, with Tinson and Munroe in the middle. this would then free up Gary Scott on the left allowing Peyton to move up to midfield as we dont know about the Lewis situation. Only thing there is Rose playing out of position at right back. Thats the only thing i can see. Or just dropping Munroe or Rose to play with Tinson.

in my opinion rose is a centre back only -azza or g scott good enough at bsn but if someone better comes along im sure gh will go for them same with left back
-
As Aspinall has pledged himself for another season I assume he's the first choice right back, only player to oust him would be G. Scott. Rose is a centre back who filled in at RB when we were desperate.
Really don't want the Munro/Rose partnership broke up no matter how good Tinson is.

im sure gh will play whichever centre backs are on form.
-
A couple of alternatives:
Rose can always play defensive midfield if need be.
Poss 5-3-2.
Any thoughts?

not for me, we have owen , bushell and maybe chalmers for that role
-
I'd have Rose & Tinson at the back. Despte Munro's improvement last season, he is still error prone. Regarding Rose at right back, whilst he did his job when needed, his crossing from the wing is appalling and tends to hit the first man (compared to Aspinall who tends to hit the man at the bus stop) :)
-

Tinsons different class to Munners and Rosey. As well as they gelled at times the partnership was good, but it wasn't that good. A bit lightweight at times. FWIW I think Munroe will play at Right back more often, by the end of last season he was playing competently there. I though he played well against Aldershot and he may still make a dominant midfielder yet in time.
-
great news.
-
Agree with Ballers, Tinson is so much better class than rose and munroe.
-
For what it's worth I still think that Gary Scott is worth his place at right back
-
It's all down to his fitness though isn't it? Does anybody know when he has to prove himself to be properley fit by?
-
i agree i think gary should be right back.
-

or left back, if it comes to it.
By the way, Tinson's 37! Makes Talbs sound like a spring chicken!
