Thread of the year.

I didn't actually look at the clip in case it had the used car salesman of a manager on it.  I thought people were joking on here when they said it looks edited.  Clearly not...

Question for Milnez....

Why does the video show 30 seconds of general match action?

Then miss 3-4 seconds out?

The 3-4 seconds that led up to the alledged elbow incident.

Then show another 60 seconds of match action?

I am intrigued to know why someone would take the time to remove that 3-4 seconds?

I have nothing to do with the video. I just posted the link on here. The guy you want to be talking to is a poster on our forum. Feel free to register and I'm 100% he will explain the editing.

You can dress it up all you like but to try and say the video has been edited to make it look like he has been elbowed is hilarious. Did he cut Speight out of a previous shot and get Smith throwing his arm around from a previous shot and merge them together or something? 

What brasses me off is the fact we're not even allowed to send a representative to defend our own player, added to which Mansfield have not even had the courtesy to send Altrincham FC a copy of the "evidence"!

Trial by YouTube: a dangerous precedent is being set in my opinion.

Don't be so naive in thinking that we submitted the video on youtube for the FA to look at. That was merely uploaded for everybody to see. Do you really think a big club like us would rely on some poxy online video service? 

If you had read the article in the opening post you would have realized that it was the referees assessor (from the FA) who said it should be sent into the FA to look at after he was shown it after the game. The video was uploaded on youtube on Sunday so your theory is void my friend.

why should we hang our heads in shame? daft title for a post.

i think i saw this as it happened, smithy shouldnt have done it, but your plyer should hang his head in shame with his over the top reaction in trying to get smith sent off, he was running around happy as larry as soon as he realised the officials had missed it

Yes. Because he is going to get elbowed in the side of the head. Walk up to the referee and say. Aup, that geeza over there just blatantly elbowed me ref. I order you to send him off right now.

No excuse for that if its how it looks.

However why should I hang my head in shame? I didn't do it.

Look at the two footed lunge by your player at 1:20..if our player had spun four times in the air your guy would have got a red.

Look at your stone island clad thug fans running from the top to the bottom of the stand to scream abuse...hang your head in shame?  We got called hooligans when three people shouted that at your players (during a warm down)  that we nearly equalised.

Your holier than thou attitude is wearing very thin now.

Do what you have to do, report what you like but drop the perfect nonsense.

I am sick of the words Mansfield Town.

I thought a lunge was when both feet were off the floor? Watch it again please. You will see his feet are clearly on the floor. Less can be said for the foul on Silky at the end of the clip though. Ball going nowhere and your player still feels the need to go clean through him. Tidy.

Still lets not get off topic here. Horrible, horrible man to blatantly elbow him. I hope he gets punished by the FA accordingly.

Watch this video. 28 seconds in. Jake Speight gets blatantly elbowed in the face by one of your players. Disgusting behavior.

I hope we report the player to the FA and he gets the same sort of treatment that Robert Huth did. Horrible.

Stags fan here in peace..

I have no idea what our chairman is banging on about here. He usually doesn't say stuff like this at all and is out of character IMO.

I hope you have a safe journey down tomorrow and I hope that it is a good game to watch!

Good luck, but not too much!  

It aint that bad man surley! Us Stags fan should be the club worrying the most at the moment! With upto 14 points could be taken off us soon, so basically we will have to start the season all over again! Could anybody help me out here with the team and line up?
