Title: early match thread
Post by: thegazelle on April 16, 2011, 11:19:13 AM
Have decided to nominate this a catergory a fixture. Left the jungle camp 2 hour journey into mysore and found hotel to show derby have checked channel is available (a common school boy error is to assume the hotel will have it ) LIned up wifi but alas no radio robins India still considers brian flynn to be a terrorist threat. so up dates on here please. now drinking 4th bottle of kingfisher strong (8%)  so should be in line with wayno trucker brads etc. Bottle of classy blue riband gin ready for pre match aperitfis and room service chicken tikka roti and chips ordered. chennai superkings v royal challengers on IPL  so big derby match in mysore.
I reckon i am set for a good day can anyone beat that other than tales of derring do in the birth place of all the best people Bklackpool

Thought that Dootson could be a decent signing when news broke of his arrival at Moss Lane but he's been most unimpressive in my view.

James Coates was probably better, on reflection.

The reality is that evenj after spending over the planned budget we're not good enough. So, if we survive we start off £30k down.. £30k lower budget than this year. Outcome.. bottom 4 all season, win 5-10 games. Alternative, BSN, budget OK for mid table finish 2012, win more games than we  lose, start to rebuild and get used to winning. The last 5 years has been so hard, winning so few games... time to re-build. Not waht many of you want to hear but realsitic.

I agree the rebuilding on budget is gonna mean a tough season even in BSN.

Barring a major miracle we're doomed.

C'est la vie and unfortunately we're not good enough to be in this league as much as it hurts be to say it.

We've tried with limited resources and looked quite good at times but without major investment all we're ever going to strive for is 5th from bottom year on year.

I hope that there is a miracle before the end of the season but I doubt there will be.

Just want to say our first half vocal support was superb today despite that fish and that fat bald prick.

Still proud to be Alty but I've lost my mojo finally

I didn't think we played at all badly until they scored. Then their tails went up, our heads went down, and it was all over at half time. So dispirited that we left in the 86th.minute and missed the last two goals. We MUST win on Saturday - but it may already be too late I'm afraid.

That's pretty much how i saw it. Alty started well and had the penalty gone in, well who knows. The first goal was the killer though. To be honest, a Sunday League goalie would have been dissapointed to have let that in. It completely knocked the stuffing out of the team. But Dootson didn't learn and a few minutes later invited a simular shot over his head that ended the contest.

Fleetwood deserved the win, but they weren't that good. As for their Stadium. They're making a damn fine effort of it. but i thought the facilities for the away contingent were Evo-Stick League standard. Turning on the sprinklers 5 minutes before kick off and spraying everyone behind the goal was a nice touch!!!

All in all, just a look around the Fleetwood setup and the money they have available shows the size of the task that Alty have, just taking part in this league. I'm afraid that Part time clubs are now going to be a rare thing in the 5th Tier of English Football.

Totally agree about Dootson. think he's been lobbed at least once in every game I've seen him play for us. Granted, heade some damn fine blocks today but the damage had already been done. I ain't blaming him for the defeat cos that ain't fair but why doesn't he learn?

We need to beat Newport and hope Southport beat Tamworth....i have no idea if we'll turn up against Newport or not but i'm not confident of Southport winning there.

Nothing to say about todays game at all.  Half arsed predictable no shows all over the pitch once again.

I'll be putting in an official complaint to whoever it needs to go into to about the behaviour of their mascot.  I've no problem with their fans giving us loads, I cannot accept an employee or official of the opposition being allowed to goad and taunt us for 45 mins.  I have never seen anything like it in my life.  He could have caused a riot.

He didnt appear after half time, I hope he was sacked.

Apart from no red cards all went as expected.

Glad to Twiss not involved and we looked better when Johnson was on.

Didn't think we'd get much from this one and I was proven right, BUT it feels a hell of a lot worse after that penalty miss. I thought Joseph was our best player today, was solid from start to finish. The midfield seemed completely anonymous and we were second to every ball (although Lawton was running his socks off but can't do it alone) Clee had moments of class but, again there isn't much point if that class comes to nothing. Reeves struggled up front on his own, not his fault as he wasn't getting much at all in the way of assistance and I think that including the goal, we had maybe 3 chances overall?

We're hanging on by a thread, if we get beaten by Newport I fear it will be curtains for us.

Gutted after that yesterday. Thought we started off ok until Bateson went off injured. They didnt really show very much until they scored the first goal. Theres been a lot of criticism of Dootson for the first two goals, but how far was Clancy allowed to advance unhindered for the first, and then Seddon allowed to carry the ball parallel to the penalty area without a challenge before his goal.

Agreed with the earlier post, about not minding opposition giving us a bit of stick, however the masctos behaviour was ridiculous, as was the two stewards in the segration area laughing about it and not ushering the mascot away.

I hoped at half time that we come out and have a go in the second half but it never really came. We need to have scored earlier to got something. Thought there keeper made a great save to cclaw the ball off the line (cant remember who's effort it was).

On a final note, Kenny can you please send Baynes back to Wrexham. He has no fight for the battle ahead. 
Title: Re: early match thread
Post by: AFC56 on April 17, 2011, 05:48:59 PM
Afraid we have got Baines until the end of the season.

Why does Ken keep playing him though?

Not only do the majority of fans think he hasn't the stomach for the fight some of the other players don't think he has either.

I heard both Densmore and Lawton make some very uncomplimentary remarks to him yesterday.

But he's fatuous in competitive matches.....and has been for weeks.

I can only presume that the principal reason that he keeps getting selected is that otherwise we would have to pick the even more abject Beesley...

Post by: bighairedmike on April 17, 2011, 09:03:01 PM
I had a word with one of the stewards at half time about that mascot. I told him that it was an absolute disgrace, it was antagonistic and there were a sizable group of people that were willing to give him a smack which, while deserved, would have resulted in them getting kicked out which wasn't fair.

To be fair he said he'd have a word which he did and the mascot wasnt there in the second half.

Fleetwood is a strange place, especially the fat prick that bared his arse at us. If that was one of us we'd have got kicked out straight away.

If I saw that mascot in the street I wouldnt think twice about giving it a good kicking. If that was a bunch of stockport or oxford fan subjected to that it would have come to blows very quickly.

Also, cupping your "ear" to a bunch of fans when they have just gone a goal down is not on. Especially when you're a fish that doesnt even have ears. Basic, basic, inbred scum.

He's a class act......could do very well & play at a considerably higher level.

I can only remember him starting one game for us.....& of course he was playing in a struggling side.

He's not dissimilar in style to Gareth Bale & also seems to have really benefitted by playing in a more attacking role.

Mister Flynn,

Clancy made his Alty debut at left full back in that 3-2 BSP victory over Droylsden at Moss Lane on Saturday, 22nd September 2007 (the one where we ended up with Jake Sedgemore in goal).

Prior to that fixture, we had failed to register a single victory in our opening ten league matches.

Ironically, Clancy was given a torrid time by a certain Chris Denham and he was eventually substituted after 51 minutes.
