Still carnt really understand that red card to moult.
Didn't see anything in the video or highlights that was worthy of a yellow or red.
Video clearly shows he was shown a straight red, not a second yellow.
Seems like the ref is trying to cover himself for an error.

Wondered where he was against Hartlepool.

Thought he could do a job in midfield and provide some valuable experience.

Oh well. Though, there are still some decent free agents around....

Boston have withdrawn from the FA Cup - due to first team being in isolation.

Kettering Town have also withdrawn, due to the same issue.

I doubt Alty are going to be the only team struggling to fulfil matches. At least it appears the league games can be rescheduled.

Would be a hard decision, but understandable.

If a delayed start, no guarantee fans would be allowed back into grounds. And the season could be extended with increased costs for player wages.

Starting now, minus the income from turnstile will be devastating. Not sure how long clubs will be able to afford paying players with little income..

Is the club able to gain anything by the new job scheme?

Maybe we could ask Ryan Reynolds to come and have a look at a decent non-league team??

Seems like number of clubs in upper leagues have not made the number of signings that they normally would have done.

Would think there may be some later signings due to players scrambling for clubs....

Otherwise, anyone at macc worth speaking too? they may just need a guarantee of being paid every month??

For me, Alty did well until unable to clear from a corner - why we still persist in having all 11 in the box to defend a corner is still a mystery.

First goal was very poor defending.

The pen was a very poor decision, still, Hannigan was behind play by 6 yards, and should have defended much better - he should have been in line with the other central defender.

Their third was quite a poor goal to concede, as Bishop was clearly fouling the defence to score - ie hands on shoulders pushing the defender down. Guess the ref hadnt read this far in the rules of football.......

Strangely, Thompson's clearances from dead balls were much better than from in play. Even from goal kicks, few went straight out for throws. Wind was a factor, but Leamington simply altered their tactics in the second half to counter the weather. Something we seemed unable to do.

Alty should clearly have had two pens in the second half.

First seemed like a clear handball, second was an elbow to Waterson (which lead to the sending off of Hulme). I also thought English also kicked Waterson afterwards.

Harrop very poor in first half, much better in second. Don't think he should have been brought off. Main issue was central midfield. It was just poor and non- existant.

As for the referee. Its a hard job. You are judged on the decisions you make. Such as booking White for a challenge in the middle of the park, and not booking Murphy for sprinting 30 yards with the intent to foul.

3-0 harsh on alty, BUT really need to adapt to what the referee is going to give.

If Hulme has just pushed the bloke over - dont think its a red. This was a decision made by the assistant ref - who couldnt see the elbow, and didnt flag for the penalty decision in first half.

HAs anyone considered that all this public protestation and abuse of The Chairman, the Board, Certain volunteers etc may in fact serve as something of a stumbling block / deterrent to anyone considering involvement or investment?

Would you, having done due diligence on the Company and found it financially sound and overall a decent investment be inclined to get involved or invest having read the recent utterances?

Before anyone reminds me that it is the football side that counts I would merely reply that anyone with enough cash to make the sort of investment it is perceived is required has not got that money (or if inherited, kept it) without some degree of Business savvy

I speak only for myself, an Altrincham Fan of nigh on fifty years although longevity of support seemed irrelevant to some merely days ago.

How it can be decided whether anyone has or hasn't been abused depends, I assume, on how people define abuse. I do know that people consider themselves to have been abused solely because they hold a different view to the people who want a change of Chairman.

So far as I am concerned, my priority is right vis the survival of The Club I love and support.

I wonder how many of those advocating boycotts, walkouts etc, all of which will destabilise the Club can say the same?

Clearly you do not understand what abuse is. Abuse is not having a different view. It could be cruel or violent treatment, neither of which have occurred.

Please do not be sensationalist or say things like this without backing it up.

In regards to public protestation, clearly someone may thrive on the chance to come into a well run scenario, make a difference and be the saviour.

I would argue this would be the best time for an external person to come in.

Also, a quick way to solve the issue of boycotts, walkouts and loss of revenue would be for the increasingly unpopular Chairman to step down. Thus, more supporters would be inclined to stay...
