Radio is a nightmare with two matches on one frequency! Have managed to gather that there were 39 on their coach and 50-60 FGR fans in all.
-
Indeed it sounds wierd - bit hard to tell what is going on!
-
I'vr given up on it already. It's giving me a headache!
-
HOW ANNOYING
two bloody conversations going on !!!!
-
Gutted couldn't go today, but at least I can give that fat cheating fraudster some abuse on Tuesday
Yeovil 1-0 Cheltenham... thats good to know ;D
-
just missed a sitter but i dont think i can stand much more of the radio its doing my head in
-
oooooooo sounds like Colin went fairly close then
-
Sounds OK now 8)
-
ahh thats better is the volume still very low? or is it just me
-
Good they've binned the Yeovil commentary
-
"really we need to be getting 3 points at Altrincham if we're serious about pushing into the playoff places" only took them 20 minutes!
-
Must be you mate, its good enough out of my speakers
-
Stafford 1 down
-
don't forget 'Altrincham look more organised than Weymouth' though... ;D
-
"NOT THE PRETTIEST OF GROUNDS!"
HOW DARE HE!!!!!
-
"Not the pretiest of grounds this" - says the man from the characterless new stadium with a building site at one end for over a season!
-
20 mins - The visiting radio men alonside me have spent their time maligning Forest Green's final ball but, to be honest, that's not their only problem.
I really haven't been that impressed by them so far. As much as Alty have played spoiling tactics, more often than not Rovers have just launched the ball up to their dangerous front pair of Adriano Rigoglioso and Stuart Fleetwood, surprising for one of the league's better footballing sides.
Still very few chances at either end and that will probably suit the home side more at this stage.
-
We'll put some horse brasses and dried flowers up for them next time eh?
-
;D
-
Come on Alty......this is going better than I exepected so far....come on you reds
-
haha they can't even say their players names Rigogli who... ?? :D
-
Stafford 1 down but Woking down to 10 men now - deliberate handball so penalty to come?
There was indeed - Stafford 1-1 now and against 10 men for an hour
Halifax one upat Histon but I reckon their safe anyway
-
Woking have already rolled over for Farsley and Vics, surely not Stafford too!
-
Stafford equalise
"Nice pitch"
-
Weymouth 1 up
-
Bo%%ox! Weymouth 1 up.
Meanwhile, the commentators' expectation for Alty to lose: I hope we do somethig about that.
Alty far better than WEymouth & playing to a plan, however, as FGR brought down to our level!!!!!!!
-
Surely Stevenage can't fail to take 3 points from Weymouth. Halifax 2 up.
Come on Alty!
"All the chances are coming in from the Rovers right wing"
-
Freudian slip: "Heavy drivel up here!"
-
when does drizzle become rain ??? my o my zzzzzzzzz
how the hell are Weymouth 1 up, the mind boggles
-
off subject but surely i cant be the only one pleased at the continued humiliation of port vale
not that i hold a grudge like
-
OOOOOOOOO whats happening.... ???
-
FGR KEEPER OFF - COME ON ALTY!
-
???? whats he been sent off for ?
-
OH GOOD NEWS - do we get a pen.
I love the "I'm not biased," comment!
Their player's doing a Gallas!
-
Have they a sub keeper?
-
what did he do ? foul little out of the area ??
-
Have they a sub keeper?
Apparently
Farsley 0-0 at half time
-
They do have a sub keeper -squad number 1 on the bench
-
Little will have been 12 yards off side by this evening!
-
Let's not get too excited just yet, we've played ten before and not got any change out of them.....BUT it can't hurt....sounds like a bit of luck.....COME ON ALTY....GET IN THERE.
-
"We do try not to be biased"
but fail abysmally!
Meanwhile, "O'Neill has moved up front now" according to SAM and the stand is made of Meccano!
-
Joe O'Neill hit the post
-
Joe O'Neill hit the post
bet that hurt!
-
:D ok he hit the ball which hit the post
-
Is Jimmy Tarbuck commentating?
-
sounds like he's got half a cheescake in his bloody gob
-
We need to go on and win this game now,will not have a better chance,come on you robins
-
as has been said before 'second half Alty' are to come out soon, I think O'Neill will score and we will win 1-0
-
In some ways its a shame the keeper went just before HT as it gives them a chance to regroup, one min into the 2nd half would've been good but I think I'm just being a bit choosy now!
-
We're Alty... we don't do or have things done the easy way :)
-
SAM'S COVERAGE OF THE END OF THE 1ST HALF:
RED CARD - 44 mins - Terry Burton (Forest Green) - My prayers have been answered.
This game has exploded into life as Forest Green keeper Burton receives his marching orders.
After King had played Little in behind the defence, the keeper inexplicably rushed 15 or 20 yards from his area and crudely took out the Alty striker.
The referee had no chance but to send him off and the drama continued as Burton proceeded to clown about, taking a good two minutes to leave the field of play.
First he collapsed in a heap near the touchline, pretending he was injured and then, when that didn't work, he decided to pull his socks up.
After the keeper had eventually left the field of play, Peyton fired in the free kick, sub keeper Ryan Robinson parried his drive and O'Neill hit the post from the rebound - from all of six yards.
There was a major question mark over the whole incident though, as O'Neill appeared to be offside when the keeper brought down Little, so maybe the free kick should have been given the other way.
It doesn't matter now though.
HALF TIME - What a strange first half.
We see a pretty dull 44 minutes and then suddenly, more drama than a soap opera.
I predicted that a defensive error would be the only way Alty would get a break in this game but I could never have imagined it would happen in such a ridiculous fashion.
Surely now Alty have to go for it, the game's set up for them to do it. As a result of the sending off, Heathcote's first half plan has worked to perfection and it's now starting to look like they may get the result they so desperately need.
-
Farsley one down :)
-
Farsley 1 DOWN.
-
halifax 3 up
-
Halifax 3 up at Histon - maybe we did better than we thought on Tues?
What, meanwhile, is an "Add-age?"
-
good to hear Heathcote shouting out his orders then :D
-
Connor's report: "50 mins - It's been a pretty nervy start to the second half for Alty.
At the moment they don't look like the team with an extra man and Forest Green have had a couple of half chances to keep the defence on their toes.
They can't afford to throw away what is a golden opportunity here, especially with Weymouth taking the lead against Stevenage and Stafford and Farsley both still level.
Plenty of time to nick a goal though."
Stafford losing 2-1
-
Its what kids do until they realise its actually better to pretend to be younger, I'd say at around 19.
-
its hard to believe that halifax will win at histon
this league seems to get more unpredictable by the week
-
Woking 2 -1 up against Stafford :)
Stafford equalised 2-2 :(
-
I'm starting to hate Woking.
-
Roca on for Toulsen
-
I'm starting to hate Woking.
Only just starting?
-
Really need Stevenage to come back at Weymouth.
-
FARSLEY 1-1 >:(
-
Didn't need Faarsley to equalise vs Cambridge though >:(
-
Farsley equalise - bloody Reeves.
Connor: "55 mins - Alty looking a bit more composed now. They're seeing more of the ball and had a good chance just moments ago to open the scoring.
King made a superb challenge to dispossess Tonkin on the right and fed Little inside the area. It seemed perfect for the striker to hit but he opted to jink his way through the defence instead and Giles made a well-timed challenge to halt his progress.
Despite the sending off, the game has settled back into the familiar pattern of the first half, namely dull, uninspired football. The weather's not helping as it's chucking it down here now but at some stage, the Robins will have to go for it."
Linesman has long side-burns shock!!!
-
How about Cahill on for Joe?
Hard to tell from here obviously, but he (Joe) seems to have had a couple of chances

we score when joes on
-
cahill for shotton
-
cahill for shotton
sounds like a bold move! Come on ALTY!
-
Slightly odd looking change from here - yes I know it's no place to judge - but Shotton long throws do tend to create pressure in tight finishes
-
Need Hardiker to get a booking now
-
oooo Hardiker should be off he is cheerio.... we gotta win this !!!!!
-
Need Hardiker to get a booking now
HEH HEH HEH!
-
if we dont batter 9 men this will be gash
-
Hello! Time to play against 9 men.
Good substitution by GH.
Farsley 2-1 up (bastards!)
-
can you please now say we'll score hsmith1 now !!
-
3 teams must score: Alty, Weymouth & Cambridge!
-
Farsley ahead against Cambridge with two suspended from last week - we have to win this. The mental damage of letting this slip with Weymouth and Farsley both winning would be huge
-
think Cols going to hit the back of the net
-
They have inploded
-
956 attendance

attnd 956
Come on ALty
-
Sounds like FGR complete & utter cock-up with the subs
Connor: "With Cahill coming on for Shotton, Alty have adapted a bold 3-4-3 formation and they quite simply have to win this now."
-
Subed the sub
-
they've subbed a substitute
-
Battersby on for Joe...and te commentators didn't even notice.
-
why are we putting Battersby on ??
-
Have we got any ball-boys in Yorkshire?
Connor: "75 mins - Alty might have had a penalty if Roca had been slightly less honest - it's not often you get a chance to say that these days.
He drew contact after beating Jones inside the area but rather than going down he attempted to get to the by-line but stumbled and the ball went out.
If he'd gone down it would've been a penalty and you've got to wonder if referee's are doing enough to reward honest play.
Otherwise, the Robins have had a couple of decent chances. Roca had a shot blocked by Michael Brough after jinking into the area, while Cahill shot just wide after a long throw from Lane.
No breakthrough yet."
"80 mins - It looked a certain goal there.
Another great bit of work from the tireless King set Cahill racing away down the left. He beat the defence, managed to get a cross in but Robinson got a crucial hand on it with sub Richard Battersby lurking at the back post.
The crowd are getting a bit restless now, they want that win."
Roca seems to be causing a few problems
-
Horrible feeling that today could be
never mind :D
-
THANK GOD!!
-
GET INNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
-
1-0!!!!
-
AT LAST!!!!!!!!!! Cracking sub by GH!!!!
Now come on Cambridge & Stevenage!
-
YES, never have we needed a goal more
-
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
According to BBC stats that was the first shot on target by either team!
-
Details anybody?
-
Great comment by Connor: GOAL - Alty 1 (Battersby) Forest Green 0 - 87 mins - It's there, absolute pandemonium and it's come from the most unlikely of heroes.
The two former Vics men created it, as Roca's cross fell to Battersby at the far post and he took his chance superbly well, taking a touch before blasting an unstoppable shot into the far corner.
They may once have worn green but they're red and white heroes today.
-
Details anybody?
Cross by Carlos Roca (Altrincham), goal by Richard Battersby (Altrincham) right-footed (bottom-left of goal) from right channel (12 yards).Altrincham 1-0 Forest Green.
-
Thank you both, get in!!
-
"Come on Rovers" shouts the same commentator who said they should be unbiased!
Did he bark then? Or did he repeat the name Brough?
-
Just come back inside after dealling with the Trains and saw the score.At last come on Alty
-
Weymouth have won - we have to hold on
well done lads - Weymouth and Farsley also win but stretch away from Stafford who couldn't beat 10 men of Woking and Vics
-
Farsley win - the bas%ards
-
How long any news on added time?
-
WE WIN
Looking at the other scores we needed to. Today prob takes the bottom 3 far further away from survival.
Can't believe f-ing Stevenage inconsistency.
-
Phew no nails left again
-
TFFT. Shame Farsley and Weymouth did ok, but look on the other hand if we had lost today? A good confidence booster too.
-
Phew no nails left again
Nails!!!! My fingers have gon! I'm typing with stumps!
Connor: "90 mins - Just like I said before, Alty don't do things the easy way.
They almost threw the three points away as Fleetwood was allowed to run in behind the defence. It looked a certain goal as he took the ball past Coburn but the keeper did enough to force him wide and his eventual cross was cleared by Young.
At the other end though, King had a shot comfortably saved by Robinson but Alty would just be happy to hear the whistle."
-
HURRAH! 3 points!
Battersby named man of the match - could be a crucial goal that
-
When Alty scored I shouted too loud & woke the baby.......
she was at her aunt's and uncle's at the time!
-
Can I suggest that next time they have a training session that Altrincham practice football. That was a shocking performance. Proves that even down to nine men the ability to pass and keep the ball is enough to make up the difference against a team that can't.
-
typical 2 ex vics boys make the winner >:(
-
why are we putting Battersby on ??
;D ;D ;)
sorry
-
great result for alty today we got there in the end, shame about farsley but lets hope for the 3 points on tuesday COME ON ALTY!!
