So, I guess that it's Leigh RMI for the big Boxing Day derby match?
Oh joy.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Suggested squad for next season with recommended signings.
« on: May 11, 2007, 05:41:41 PM »But I put it to the cult Rod is now viewed as back up....and what value for money quality back up and how much extra he brings to the club. If Colin gets injured after 20 minutes, can the cult suggest a signing we can afford to come off the bench who would be better?
As I do not know the club's budget, I have no idea what we can afford.
Would Thornley be retained if he wasn't a source of autographed Wayne Rooney shirts?

Are we all going to donate £1.00 for every yellow card received by Karl Munroe?
Or is George Heslop going to undertake a bungee jump off that pylon/tower structure at the Golf Road end?

Why is everyone condemining poor old Warren Peyton to an apparent life sentence as a left full-back?!
We (still) need a recognised left full back at the club (Andy Scott will surely be released?) and then Peyton would be free to resume in his preferred position in midfield.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Little & O'Neill re-sign
« on: May 11, 2007, 05:30:06 PM »every time this is raised i say this, joe is not a striker he is a forward, he makes the chances and chips in the odd few, but please bear in mind he only got 5 less than colin little and was our second highest goalscorer cult... if rotherham were interested then it just shows his qualities shined through from the side of his game we need, holding up the ball laying and it off for others.
Colin Little did play 9 fewer games though...
O'Neill has plenty of commendable qualities but (sorry) I just don't see him rattling in the goals next season, which once again puts all the pressure on Colin Little to be prolific.
What certainly would help both of them though is if we were to sign a winger to supply some ammunition, as we desperately lacked width last season.

« on: May 10, 2007, 09:40:51 PM »
My main reservation about Joe O'Neill is that he is simply not a natural goalscorer.
He only managed 8 goals in 45 games last season.
I know that we will be playing at a lower level but I really don't see him scoring 20 goals next season and, therefore, the goalscoring responsibility will once again rest on Colin Little's shoulders.

May I also propose that The King George should revert to its former name of The Moss and a Syd The Landlord lookalike should be installed behind the bar forthwith.

At the risk of upsetting the Rod Thornley Fan Club on this Forum, may I ask why we are so keen to retain him?
He never appears to be fully fit; rarely lasts for 90 minutes; is unavailable for several games and (as demonstrated at Tamworth and at home to Aldershot) his goalscoring touch is on the wane.
Serious thoughts, anyone?
(Stands well back in anticipation of a backlash...)

Note the seller's location....and the 'generous' size of the shirt!

Gary,
Just for you, here's a synopsis of events since you were last on this Forum:
Alty relegated: supporters unhappy and cried "God, not back to that league again!"
Alty relegated: Chairman cries: "It's a godsend."
Oh, and Ecky (the 'Special One') guided his team to another victory over the Staff XI.
There, now you are up to speed.

Altrincham FC First Team / The One That Got Away...
« on: May 06, 2007, 04:08:35 PM »
From John Laidlar's splendid website:
England National Game XI squad:
Nicky Bull (Aldershot), Billy Turley (Oxford), Adam Yates (Morecambe), Jon Ashton (Rushden & Diamonds), Jamie Stuart (Grays), Anwar Uddin (Dagenham & Redbridge), Kieran Charnock (Northwich), Billy Jones (Exeter), Michael Carr (Northwich), Stuart Thurgood (Grays), Neal Bishop (York), Glen Southam (Dagenham & Redbridge), Lee Elam (Exeter), Andy Burgess (Oxford), Paul Benson (Dagenham & Redbridge), Robbie Simpson (Cambridge), Charlie McDonald (Gravesend), Dennis Oli (Grays)".
What a pity that Morecambe snaffled him back in August.
Let's hope that we do actually have a recognised left full back (and that excludes Andy Scott!) on the books next season.

« on: May 04, 2007, 03:17:33 PM »Rather than put a good spin on things and give the fans some optimism, I think the leader of the club should have come out with something along the lines of....it's sh*t, no point doing anything else, F8ck this I'm off home and so is the rest of the board.... I've sacked the 'cote....no point in the fans turning up next year to watch that standard of football, we'll be lucky to pull in 300 against the likes of Vauxhall Motors.
That'd keep you happy cult?
C'mon...look on the bright side....Vics haven't been able to manage a hat trick of relegations so once again we're ahead of them.
Is that truly the best defence of our Chairman's insulting pronouncements that you can muster?
