Fred Done is good at working out betting odds and he thinks you should put a shed load of money on it

Agreed

« on: September 16, 2012, 08:38:58 AM »I'm a big fan of James Lawrie but he had an absolute nightmare yesterday, we were probably lucky that he didn't cost us the match.
It might just be the position he was playing in though, there were times yesterday when he and Nicky were both playing as left wingers and almost fighting for the ball. I think the team will look far better when Duncan gets back and thank goodness that the chance at the end fell to Damian!
Still, we would have lost that game last season, is the tide finally turning?
I thought Lawrie was good 1st half and put a lot of work in but was much less effective and visibly tired after he was moved over to the left when Leather went off

I thought they were a good side in the first half but didn't manage to create decent chances from their moves. We on the other hand had a lot of creativity in the front four and so crafted a couple of goals and in fairness could have been three maybe four. Second half they were always going to come out giving it a real go. Their goal was a well worked free kick and then we were under pressure. Ok we werent the most composed after that but the pressure really was on. Then the beauty of having such a talent up front paid dividends and game set match the reds.

« on: September 02, 2012, 08:43:38 PM »Superb performance from Rodgers, well done.
Really? It was a good team performance but again Rodgers gave the ball away time after time.
Defo Rogers best game and mom imho
I'd agree that it was Rodgers best game so far but MOM you have to be joking. He was easily Altys worst player on the day

What a season you had. You will look back on last season for the rest of your life with great pride and rightly so. Hopefully there will be other achievements to come in the future that will give as much pleasure. Best of luck wherever you end up, you won't be forgotten here at Alty.

0 goals and 0 assists all seasons speaks for itself
Surely he'll be credited with an assist for the sacking of Dalglish

« on: May 02, 2012, 11:19:29 AM »Martin o'neill, need someone good at handling an average team and getting the most out of them, hodgson couldnt motivate a rat in a burger king bin
If you want someone good at handling an average team then Hodgson is your man as proved by his record with Switzerland and Finland.
Don't know anyone that wanted Harry other than the London press. In all his years of management he's won one trophy and he did that with money the club didn't have.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Managers end of year report 2011/12
« on: April 30, 2012, 10:31:15 PM »Positives
-Tries to play attractive football, lots of goals, seems to have got he best out of Reeves, giving youth teamers a chance.
Negatives
- Never truly in contention for a play off place (only in them for a week or so all season, 2 shambolic cup defeats - one away at a team from the league below, one at home to a team two leagues below (although not much worse then every other recent manager in this case), 27 games without a single clean sheet and only 3 all season, ridiculous amount of goals scored, some odd tactics at times
and most worryingly some appaling player recruitment, starting off with giving all of last seasons tripe the chance to stay, transfer wise only Redshaw, Lawrie and to an extent Flynn M could be said to have been upto scratch. This season's gone, I think it should have been better but as we can see, people have different views on that so it's where we go from here that counts and I'm not sure LS and NT have the contacts or nous to take us forward based on what I've seen.
I hope I'm wrong. However, if you look at the season like this I'm afraid I'm heading closer to John Crewe's F than the C's that others are suggesting.
I wish it wasn't so but I find myself agreeing with this.
I've defended Lee all season and am inclined to continue to do so but there have been times where I just can't understand what he is thinking.
Overall I have to say there has been some very entertaining football which makes a change but it's been so frustrating knowing that with a tighter defence we could have had a real shot at promotion this year.
Highlight for me was the entertaining game of Vauxhall away lowlight was the ridiculous goals we've given away.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Alty Tv - Extended Highlights Vs Gainsborough, including Clee and Watmore goals
« on: April 30, 2012, 01:22:21 PM »Good highlights again, some great goals in there. I'm still not sure whether the Gainsborough player was on or offside for their third?
Its impossible to say if its offside or not from a view from the halfway line. Though I'm sure there'll be people on here who claim they can.

Lee shows flashes of brilliance and great understanding at times. Some of the performances have been simply stunning, whilst others have been absolute garbage.Sometimes, he can flounder and not have the right solution to some problems presented. The majority of his colleagues are supportive with some excellent results he has had this season. Progressing to later stages of any cup competion was also a mjor concern and will need to be also addressed. Hopefully, with further funds being released shortly due to contracts expiring, he may have the money to secure his proven goalscorer, along with some further quality additions and the full backing of the management team.
Overall a satisfactory year, with some encouraging signs. There are some good foundations in place,and this is a vital year for Lee to go on to progress and achieve his full potential. Good Luck
Overall Grade-C+
Expected Grade -2012/13 A
do we have to go over this again?
Poor
Overall Grade - F
No you didn't have to but you weren't going to miss an opportunity to slag off our manager were you.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: The Mess at Vics Worsens...
« on: April 29, 2012, 01:13:04 PM »I'm going to lay myself open to ridicule here but sod it, I'm completely missing something.
Did that guy say "Vics haven't paid any of their creditors in the CVA so can we just cancel it?"
I could be wrong (and often am) but my understanding is that if the CVA is cancelled then the debts would be the full amount they were before the CVA was agreed. Presumably the creditors wouldn't agree to a new CVA because they wouldn't expect to get paid and so the outcome would be one of the creditors applying for a winding up order so some of their money can be recovered from any assets. The value of assets would be very small but would be worth more than a Rushe promise.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Slightly Off Topic but Great News IMHO
« on: April 22, 2012, 08:44:34 PM »I don't think anyone has suggested that you might go there to watch the Referee (that is for sad, other Referees like me)
However I don't think it unreasonable to highlight it when a local bloke and Alty fan is successful in his chosen career and that success is recognised by a 'plum' appointment. And when sais chap is as well known to as many people as Ant is I would say that is even more reason to bring his success to the attention of the forumites.
Many apologies if my initial post has caused you offence
this is not a refereeing forum ATS
the ref should be seen and not heard
we not on here to discuss you and your ilk
Unbelievable
I for one think that anyone who has success in his chosen field deserves praise. Thanks Phil for bringing this to our attention.

Altrincham FC First Team / Re: Barcelona? Give it a rest
« on: April 20, 2012, 10:04:36 PM »This thread is too linear, we need to consider the maths, football is played in shapes so a team with a triangular passing approach need to consider that the area of a triangle is half the base X the height, whereas zonal marking needs to be measured in square metres. Clearly, with a shorter smaller pitch we need players who can deal with tangents as the pass needs to find the shortest point, consequentely the angle between the corner flag and the preferred standing option of Reeves needs to be a low cosine of the distance to the near post.
Sort the basics out Lee!
