I'm sure the team that won at Birmingham in 1985 will all say that's alright then.

[gazwarrington]

I can't see the team of 1985 really be that arsed to be honest ...

If they'd say anything it'd probably be "Oh the same people moaning as soon as they have a chance"  Just don't know how people have the nerve to heckle a performance or result after not even seeing the game. Baffles me.

*1986

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

I don't need to have attended today's game to point out that we have STILL failed to win a single away match to date this season!

As previously stated, we got two home draws in the Trophy....and both were games we would have fancied winning.

Instead, we have thrown away the chance to earn £9,000 in four days, which I'm sure would have cheered the Alty Board up no end!

I'm sure that today's playing conditions were hardly ideal.....but there was nothing wrong with conditions at Moss Lane on 16th December 2006.

Perhaps the manager will blame those Alty fans who couldn't attend today's game again?!
 

[Unemployed Coalminer]

There seems to be an attitude that's pervaded the club that mediocrity is some sort of achievement. For two years people have been saying that staying in the Conference is all that matters. Doesn't anyone want to actually win anything anymore?

[gazwarrington]

I will not comment on the 16th December as I did not attend, All I know is it was 0-0 and I was *told* it was a poor game so I was not under the impression that Altrincham should have won it.

Instead, we have thrown away the chance to earn £9,000 in four days, which I'm sure would have cheered the Alty Board up no end!
So the players obviously lost on purpose then and not by 2 goals in 5 minutes.

YES we do want to win things but sometimes being REALISTIC is required. Of course Weymouth wanted to win things look at them , so did Grays ....

If you honestly believe we should be winning the FA Trophy then .. well no comment. Any game against a team in our own league should be thought of as "difficult", especially away.... YES we would have had a better chance at Moss Lane but we certainly should not think we have a god given right to win.

Come on everyone keep crawling out the woodwork, we've had a bad result ..  You've all been waiting ...

[TheCultOfIanTunnacliffe]

The game on 16th December 2006 was there to be won because Tamworth were so poor but Alty just didn't seem motivated that afternoon.

Of course the players didn't lose on purpose (where did I suggest that?!) but the fact remains that two eminently winnable games and an associated money pot of £9,000 have been squandered.

[gazwarrington]

We have been beaten by an (and only guessing) 87th and 93rd minute goals.
Not a lot you can do against that. its unfortunate its happened but not worth going over the top about.

If we'd been beaten comfortably then yes I'd be worried but the fact is two goals in just over 5 mins is a lucky win for whoever has done it.

"winnable games " yes winnable not certainities but WINNABLE !

[Unemployed Coalminer]

Why wouldn't you want to win the FA Trophy? As has been stated the club could have banked £9000 in four days. Who's to say Altrincham couldn't win it. I don't know how much would be earned by winning but clearly would be a significant amount. Cup form doesn't necessarily equal league form (look at Tamworth this season and last). Winning the trophy is an important part of this club's history.

[gazwarrington]

Of course I'd love to win the Trophy and if we'd gone out to Hyde or Farsley then yes I would be upset but we have gone out to a team in our league, its hardly the end of the world.

It baffles me that people sounded like they expected Altrincham to win. We have no right to win any game home or away and as I will say fo rthe last time we were beaten by two VERY late goals.

Thats me finished now. Going to have some tea and hope that Vics and Eastbourne play on Tuesday and one of those goes through and that the Cheshire FA don't switch Vics game to next Tuesday

Gary,
         Enjoy your tea

Well, perhaps we could have defended better?!

If we'd been beaten comfortably then yes I'd be worried but the fact is two goals in just over 5 mins is a lucky win for whoever has done it.

Why are two goals in five minutes deemed as "lucky"?
Was there no skill involved on Tamworth's part.....or did we just defend badly?

[Unemployed Coalminer]

I don't really see how the goals being late is some kind of excuse. The fact is that Altrincham lost again, and I don't see how anyone can be happy with that.

[VofD]

Cult. Go and have your tea as well.

[Altysmiffy]

We've lost the match, its very disappointing......

We are in a league we have no right to be in...
We are more than holding our own in that league....
We are almost out of debt.....
We have a stable & enthusiastic squad who want to play for Alty.....
We have a first rate board......
We have a first rate coach......
We have a good ground and very professional set up....

Thats 2 negatives and how many positives?

Lets just get on and support our team!
