As supporters all we can do is keep supporting the team & try to spread the word

The rest is down to the powers that be

After reading John Colemans summary of events on the fishy site, I have a hell of a lot of sympathy for him. OK the defence went walkabout for the first Chesterfield goal, but the officials went to sleep for the second or were just plain ball watching. The scorer was a country mile offside when he got the ball. To outplay the league leaders for so long was thrilling to watch, just a shame the ref got caught up in the atmosphere by denying Stanley a blatant penalty and refusing to chalk off the 2nd Spireites goal and giving free kicks for innocuous challenges against Stanley but allowing Chesterfield to get away with the same sort of challenge. Am I downhearted, a little bit, but 4 points from 2 games in three days isn't too bad. If we continue in the same vein against Bury on Saturday, we'll murder them.

Problem is, our murders are like the classic horror film scenario - just when we think we've killed 'em off, they rise up out of the bath again and grip us round the throat!

Just a small stat on todays game:- Both of the C/Field scores came off the bench!!!! A lesson to be learned in there somewhere???

The one positive thing IMHO to come out of todays game is that it showed that we can match and better the league leaders!! Which in its self is an achivement in its self,just need to keep going for the full 90+ mins

As well as the Ultras singing "You might as well go home" being a jinx, has anybody else noticed that when DaveinGermany puts our improved league position up on the messageboard we seem to capitulate, We've all got Skysports too. Sorry Dave, but stop it.

OK, I'll try to remember & not do it.

Whilst your right about the team playing for the full 90 so should the officials, who IMHO were poor yesterday especially for the second clearly offside Chesterfield goal (pity the highlights didn't show it). And how a Stanley player can be booked for being held by an opponent is beyond me!!!

What happened? :S

Me and the missus went, but we left with 5 minutes to go. Checked the score when we got home and it was 2-2. Shame

Enjoyed the game. Have done both times I've been to watch Accy. Don't get to go too much as I'm usually working or Rovers are playing. Going to look out for more though as it's a good laugh and the tackles players get away with is good to see.
