My last game of the season, unless the club are stupid enough to run a player of the year competition in which case I will go and make my opinion heard.
Tomlinson in goal, one all draw.
Otherwise three nil defeat.
-
Another team who are much bigger than us, who we can't possibly hope to compete with. Lose to nil.
-
Another potentially winnable game that we'll contrive to lose.
-
BPA 5/6
draw 3/1
Alty 11/4
Done an excellent job turning bpa around them two. Hindsight is a wonderful thing, as I'm sure they'd have done the same here. No one would have foreseen Jim Harvey being so out of touch. They certainly wouldn't have had a centre back pairing of Hobson and Hattersley lining up for us
-
I'm going
-
I'm Not.
Love matts comment from the other night. "It's a blip"" One way to describe it I suppose. Perhaps the whole season is a "blip"?
Not wasting my money on any away games.

And learning from mistakes is better. Once BPA's safety is confirmed, which will only be weeks away, their Board should be approached for permission to offer Messrs Bower and Boshell the reigns at Moss Lane. Acquiring this pair, with their proven record over a number of seasons, would be a clear sign of intent that Evostik football is not good enough for this club.

As always, I fully agree with you but could you see them wanting to drop a league and into the happy Moss Lane family? Surely they'd be looking upwards for a move?

Moving upwards would require a stronger profile than they've achieved so far.....but moving downwards would only appeal if they were 100% confident of immediate promotion, and were given the budget to back up their convictions.
They'd almost certainly do for us....but would we do for them ?

That it should have come to this.
Chairman Row Lee, your position is untenable.

I never said anything about them accepting!

I suppose the most relevant aspect of today's match is the players response to yesterday's announcement. It's now clear that if they want Matt and Robbie to get the job then they are going to have to win a few more games for them, this hasn't been the situation this far.
It'll be a good incentive for them as lord knows the precariousness of the situation for the club hasn't galvanised them, they haven't played for the chairman (I thought a few of them might) and they're obviously not playing for contracts so we'll see if this does the trick.
A windy 1-1 draw.
-
I understand what you are saying Ballers but I really don't think they are failing to put the effort in. Even when 3 - 1 down against Nuneaton on Tuesday night it was maximum attack. There's just one touch too many being taken or the ball arrives on the wrong foot or they get shut down. Can't fault the effort recently imho.
It will be interesting to see if it continues though.
-
Another wonderful afternoon. Newby sent off, Brownhill injured, Owens and Reeves already substituted, and Deasy again having Heathcote take his goal kicks. We're hanging on at 1-1 but it'll be a miracle if we hang on for a draw if I believe John Laidlar.....and I usually do.
-
Sure enough, 5 minutes later we trail 2-1.
-
When nothing's going right...
-
Tell me we are out of our misery and down now please ??
-
Awaiting the latest hard luck story with baited breath. Another dose of "I can't ask any more from those lads in there" and "these aren't my players".
Nobody is unlucky every single week. I'm sorry, but the fact that Matt Doughty is even being considered for the job next season is a disgrace.
Somebody make it stop!
-
Tell me we are out of our misery and down now please ??
We're still two defeats away.
-
To be fair, it sounds like we were dicked by a dreadful decision - we shall see when people who attended can comment.

If we don't win our next game relegation becomes official

even if we were we were trying to scrape a point at BPA . Tragic times

it's dragged on despite us being woeful all season

Lovely weather here in Bradford. Couple of reasonably good saves from Deasy to keep their score down. Other than that er....

did you get a tan ?
-
Even that comedy Worcester outfit had enough about them to beat stalybridge at moss lane. Hopefully the BBC documentary will capture our shameful double relegation next Saturday for posterity and we can draw the curtains on this pantomime. I'm off to have eight pints.
-
The paucity, the lack of ability and drive from both teams highlighted how little we needed to do during the season to avoid relegation.
They were pants. We were pants.
Going down to ten seemed to make little difference.
Highlight of the day for me was spending twenty minutes in the cemetery across the road where I found dozens of Ukrainian headstones. The stories they could have told me if only I read Ukrainian.
-
Did reeves or owens offer anything???

Reeves didn't. Evans came on and didn't do much either. Nobody looked arsed.
Chairman Row Lee had a smile on his face though, which was nice to see.
-

Anonymous. Both need the Niel young tactical reorganisation.
-
Major surprise for me was the amount of grass on the pitch, but still an incredibly bobbly surface. The recent change of status from a Ltd Company to a genuine Community Club (BPA are now a mutual society so have no big £ backer) is a fresh set of signs on the portakabins from which they've masterminded their now 20 point lead over us.
The game was pretty poor enlivened only by a few Newby runs in the first half, a few Clee touches in the second, with BPA always having a bit more about them from their ex Guiseley players. The sending off effectively ended us as an attacking threat, although for me removing Reeves a few minutes after Clee was introduced and then seeing his replacement miscue in front of goal from the latter's cross won't go down as one of the great tactical switches in our history.
The good news was IKEA wasn't too busy on the way home.
-
Any chance of winning the game went with Newby's red. No doubt thier player was ripping the shirt off his back, but it was an elbow.
Dont normally moan about the ref because they're generally poor for both teams but this guy gave them everything.
Johnson and Sinclair caused us all sorts of problems.
Bit bemused why Clee didn't start.
Not a big fan of the way our management duo scream negatively across the pitch.
Nice to stand in the sun
-
516 there, maybe forty to fifty Alty? Virtually no vocal support for us.
-
516 my arse! Must be counting season ticket holders twice. Plus the 300 tickets to school kids who.were a no show
-
I thought the 516 wasn't too far out, with, as York Alty etc. says, 40 or 50 away.
Very unfortunate for Newby to finish what has been a very decent loan spell in a poor team in this manner. I didn't have a good view myself, but nobody seemed to have seen anything wrong, although the referee did indicate an elbow. It wasn't a good game, at all, with a poor atmosphere in a ground I can't take to, although BPA always seem a friendly club.
I assume some of the surprises in the team selection were just to give players who haven't played much recently a game, but who knows?
My own highlight was to see some photos in the pub I visited in the city centre of a gentleman named Karam Chand who died last year at the age of 110! After googling him, this is genuine and he holds a record of having been married for 90 years. Probably best to draw a veil over the fact that his widow was 103 when he died...

He won't be manager for long now. Unless yet another crap decision is made.

Think we were looking for a new low so that take us down a further peg. Sounds like we gave it a go but they deserved to win even before the red card.
Not sure the words great shift and pride should be used though, it's another defeat to another poor side "around us"
Salford are struggling a bit at the moment and need a lift. Don't worry lads, we're coming!
Sad sad times....

Embarrassing, reflects badly on the whole club language like that. He should be ashamed of himself with all our younger fans and all the community work the Chairman does
The club sinks lower and lower by the day

You have to be on twitter to read it which i'm not. If anyone wouldn't mind sending me PM with what was said it would be greatly appreciated.
Edit.. I've just been text the 'offensive tweet' and in my personal opinion it's not too bad and shows a bit of passion although I'm not convinced it was a 'great shift'

I do not define that lackluster, flat and plodding performance as a 'great shift'.
-
Nearly as bad as the official account blaming the refs.
Sounds like a personal opinion, not a fact.

It sounds like our interim manager is transforming into The Black Knight:

It was a great shift towards obscurity.

Can't be doing that on the official account now can we?

Matt has blocked me on twitter
What a circus of a club, he clearly thinks he managing the dog and duck not Altrincham FC
Once a club legend now just a foul mouthed bellend

With that last comment, I am now convinced, you are winding us up
-
Decent full back club legend Is a tad over the top
-
Pity his prowess as a player seems to be inversely proportional to his potential as a manager.
-
He has a private Twitter account, meaning he has to approve you as a follower before you can see what he's posting.

I dont expect the manager of Altrincham FC to be tweeting such words as "f**k me me sideways we got shafted today"
This is Altrincham FC we need a bit more professionalism than that, I wonder what the chairman thinks reading that after all the community work he has done?
-
I doubt the Chairman will mind, he loves Doughty

Tim Deasy is rubbish.

Indeed he is. Thankfully if this farce with the chairman continues I wont be there next season to watch him hobble around.

To be fair to him he's not been fully fit since before Christmas last season but that was an absolute howler for the 2nd goal!!
