Have you seen the own goals?
Very unlucky, particularly the third one and it could happen to any player

I accept your point but that is really how handball interpretation was handled for many years.
The clear advantage resulting from the incident in question would, to most Referees have resulted in the goal being disallowed with a free kick going to Man United.
Not an ideal circumstance but percentage wise returning to the system I previously detailed would, IMO, produce more satisfactory outcomes

No Ian
We need to return to a previous interpretation where handball was "in the opinion of the referee" rather than the proscribed interpretations of recent times

As the ball bounced off his thigh onto his hand (which was in an understandable position) it could not, in the circumstances and applying the current interpretation, be given as handball
You are correct in your assertion had the ball gone into the net directly from Duncan.
Arguably not a perfect scenario but too many goals were being disallowed before often on a technicality after accidental/incidental handballs

Altrincham FC First Team / Jordan Sinnott RIP
« on: January 25, 2022, 05:11:29 PM »
Today is the anniversary of Jordan's tragic death as many will know.
There is an article by Daniel Storey in today's I
i about the events and also (primarily) about the Jordan Sinnott Foundation.
I would imagine, or at least hope, that it will be available on line should anyone be interested

If a team is going to play out from the back the way we are clearly trying to do then they have to be at least similar level footballers and preferably better.
In NLN we were better and could our football teams.
At this level we're simply not.
Therefore I think an alternative may be required

We weren't but arguably should have been as, from my vantage point near the Corner Flag the injury time foul looked clearly inside the area

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: He is getting it so wrong
« on: January 13, 2022, 12:23:45 AM »Stubborn seems to be a word used quite a lot recently in relation to PP. I get the impression he reads this forum and takes very little onboard of the opinions of the supporters, which by the way, I have zero problem with. The problem I do have is that the opinions expressed on here and around the ground all seem to be one and the same, and that’s play your flipping players in their correct positions in a formation that they’re all understanding of!
My second issue seems to be that his recruitment is based on three things -
1- Played for Nantwich, a la Morgan, Mullarkey
2- Played for him previously - White, Hancock, Hulme, Osborne
3- A miles past his best journeyman - LS, Pringle, Furman
It’s like sentiment plays a massive part in his ability to want to retain players or re-sign players who he already knows. Look how offering EVERYONE new two year deals after promotion.
I might be in a minority here but it feels like PP is stuck in a rut after being here for so long, and he’s just hoping things turn without any real plan.
Don't agree with this I'm afraid.

Some of our best additions don't fit your criteria.
Sure there was an influx from his Nantwich squad in 2017/18, but why wouldn't there have been? It worked out pretty well. We added a couple more over time but again, why wouldn't a manager bring in a player he knows, if he thinks he's up to the task? At the end of the day it's gotten us to where we are and for that reason we shouldn't have anything but praise for the approach.
That said, it does seem that we are at a bit of a recruitment crossroads now - but the addition of Marriott is a good indication of what we're probably looking to do long term.
I would take Cockerline as a medium teen project

I know that you need your players to be able to play but there are times when trying to play is the last thing you want them to do.
I take your point, but the 'hoofball" tactic belongs to the 7th tier of the pyramid, and we're in the 5th. Too often the ball will come straight back at us.
I get your point
However, in my defence, Man City and Liverpool , widely considered to be "great" footballing sides, both have defenders willing and able to launch the sphere into the next county when the need arises
