What on earth is Byrne playing at? Absolutely ludicrous.
It’s interesting to me to compare the reaction to that howler to the one Mee committed at Maidenhead. I’m not saying people should be piling in on Byrne now but he does seem to get an easier ride from Alty fans than other keepers.
Apply the same logic, in that case, to Toby Mullarkey please.
I love him as much as everyone else but he's played a no-look backpass, across his left-footed keeper, straight into a dangerous area. He also had the opportunity to clear it down the line with his own weaker foot a mere matter of seconds prior to that - but opted not to do so.
Byrne failed to deal with the situation... however Toby created it. We said the same thing with Mee regarding the bizarre backpass he received himself.
Are we SERIOUSLY discussing dropping Byrne after that? Lord, give me strength.
The fact that people are somehow contriving to blame Mullarkey for that goal rather proves my point about how Byrne can seemingly do no wrong.
In fairness both are equally to blame; Toby could have played a 5 yard pass, put it out, launched it long.
Ollie Byrnes slip turns Tobys mistake in to a problem.
When was the last time a player scored 4 games on the spin?
Surprised we didn't go for a hybrid model this season, to at least reduce the turnover of players during the summer, and transition to full time next season.
Totally agree
Yes
Parkinson didnt win for 20 games last season. Another ten defeats could be killer.
Time for an ultimatium. Beat Aldershot or leave.
I don't know why not winning for 20 games last season comes into it at this stage, given the subsequent events proved we were right not to pull the trigger.
I agree with Bath Alty - it's not inconceivable that we win a couple on the bounce and the table suddenly starts looking a bit different again.
This team has looked competitive away at the likes of Boreham Wood and Bromley - and gave the possible champions a good old fright too.
We haven't had the rub of the green and it's starting to creep into the mindset now. That's why we needed some older heads around the camp because a rot can very quickly set in otherwise.
Where's Lewis Baines? - I'd feel infinitely more comfortable with him and Toby at the back, in fact we know what our best back five is - we just need to start playing it now.
The originator of this issue who assured us that she had evidence via screen prints of the comments has failed / declined to provide same.
I apologise for any ongoing issues relating to this, whilst still believing that it occurred.
This is why I declined to identify the suggested culprit, whom I believe knows who they are and, I hope are suitably contrite
Are Kaja and Sami injured? Neither in yesterday's squad.
I know John Laidlaw’s site has a report and very good it is, but, how come our new all singing & dancing site does not have a match report? We have a preview for Boreham Wood then the next news item is a preview of Chesterfield visiting tomorrow.
Is there any danger that the continuity man could squeeze in a match report or maybe an interview with a happy manager, who must have been delighted at getting a point at the Wood as us fans were.
I find it very frustrating going on the new website.
How many times must I say it, “Attention to detail”, the team maybe full time but the rest of the club sadly isn’t yet.
Just listened to the interview with PP
I wish Flynny would ask the question we want to know, and that is .. What’s happening with the registration of Olly Byrne
Hes not allowed. All questions are vetted
Is that true? I'm surprised if so.
I would be disappointed if they were.
I think vetted carries negative connotations but topics to cover in the interview are discussed before recording, that's entirely commonplace in any interview, in any industry.
Edit (to add): As it's an official club interview it's going to cover certain things, and steer away from others if it is believed to be in our best interests to do so.
Despite our increased stature in the game we do still have barely any external, regular press interest in the football club, such as a weekly set of questions from Altrincham Today or the Messenger (both of which we have to contribute to ourselves to get coverage) or the Manchester Evening News. External reporters from those outlets would be more inclined to ask the more challenging questions, but what I'm saying is don't expect it from the club (Brian Flynn or John Edwards) - I don't think their job is to put it on Parky in their interviews.
