[Hale Alty]

But it might only be a convention. It's handing some advantage back to the team that conceded the free-kick.

[Leon]

Agreed. But if you're going to break with the convention, you should let everyone know that in advance.

[AltyTunnelSteward]

It is indeed only a convention and, in law the Referee is allowed to permit a free Kick to be taken whenever he/she wishes.

However, it would be insulting to a Schoolboy/Girl Referee to describe Mr Salisbury allowing the Free Kick to be taken when he did as a Schoolboy error.

A Referee who permits this to occur is storing up so many problems for themselves it is beyond description and basic referee course candidates are advised VERY STRONGLY that they should NEVER do this

Lee Sinnott is a poor manager of players, how he has managed to get disruption into such a positive side early on in the season i will never understand, he could'nt motivate a macc fan next to a sheep on heat!!! he is not the man to take us up, we have good quality for this level but i fear when it comes to crunch matches like play off games and promotion contenders we do not perform consistantly at all, he will get season after season here though as we are a nesting club.

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

Mister Flynn needs to adopt a more Paxmanesque approach.

Tame stuff.

How can you possibly know whether the squad has been disrupted? Are you basing this on Clee and Reeves being disappointed at coming off? Sounds like that's a natural reaction for most motivated players to me. We played poorly in one play off game last year. It happens. We went on a great run to secure our play off place and beat one of the championship contenders in Brackley a couple of weeks ago so there are crunch matches that he's led us through fine.

The standards set on here are impossible at times. I don't think Some people will be happy until we're 20 points clear at the top of the table.

Provided there's only six games to go

What I find somewhat disappointing is that it would seem that there was never any question of bringing on one of the youngsters. It was clear - and seems clear to the manager too, from the way he spoke - that Wilkinson was knackered well before the end of the game but no move was made to replace him. The boy Gilroy has now been on the bench half a dozen times without getting even a sniff of a chance; some of us would like to see what he can do, rather than have confirmed to us what older players can't do. I don't often quarrel with the management - they are far better qualified than I - but on this occasion I do think they got it wrong.

[ASMO]

We have good quality  at this level   says are we human , Sinnot put most of this squad together yet he not good enough manager to get us up ? Agree made bad sub's on Saturday but when he gets sub's right no one says well done .

[Jimmy]

It's hard to make good subs with such a small squad but in fairness to the people on here many gave him credit for the subs he made at Worcester which won us the game and the second half v guiseley

[robininstockport]

We've only got 14 good enough players. Anyone could pick an 11 that would won 70% games. Trouble on Saturday that 3 of the 14 were unavailable.

As good as the changes against Guisley were Saturday were disasterous.

[Jezza]

I was thinking the same myself.... professional and diplomatic as Brian Flynn is and no offence to his undoubted talents disgracefully unnoticed by SKY and BBC etc....and I was wondering if we could have a guest interviewer for alty TV and I'd like to nominate VofD ....then we'd get some interesting questions....

I agree I was just trying to explain that fans do give him credit

we played poorly in plenty of games last season, and this season already too...only this is a far worse league than last seasons.

[Jimmy]

If you go into a campaign with a small squad there is no room for error and 2 of his summer signings are not good enough smickle and perry and he shouldev released Rodgers however due to the fact we don't have enough defenders perhaps just aswell they kept Rodgers despite his lack of quality
