I totally agree, Redraine. Mind you, I was interested to notice when leaving the ground that the former Cowshed Mafia now seem to be housed in the main stand. These guys, if you remember, were noted for giving loud verbal abuse towards their own players at every opportunity. Hard luck, Main Stand - our area is certainly more pleasant for their departure!

Well done the lads yesterday - and, though Miles is by no means one of my favourite players, well done Coley for sticking to his guns!

Willie Miller · 21-02-2010, 12:47

Sorry Lee but I am with me ol Mucker Mr Raine on this one

Giving stick during the game only helps the opposition......

I don't understand why fans in the main stand get on the back of coley and moan at who he plays! E.g John Miles yesterday! Do you not think that coley knows best? Theres a reason why we are doing well this season! and alot of it is down to him! Yes you have payed your money and have the right to voice your opinion but Coley and Jimmy know best! Maybe that was their tactic to let miles just sit in and not do much and then once the Bradford players had ran out of steam a bit after coming out all guns blazing second half that Miles would have more time, space and energy to get more into the game and score a goal! But maybe instead of saying " SUB MILES, HES RUBBISH" maybe a bit of " JOHN MILES BARMY ARMY" would be more appropriate

.

Coley knows best, as its being shown this season!!

Not the best of games but a wins a win. Superb following by the Bradford fans, just a shame that they have a small majority of dingles that are absolute prats once they've had a drink.

On Stanley On.

They are right in the corner now next to the changing rooms, and I have no idea who they are, but they do go very over the top, not what many of the main stand want really, but oh well they pay their money not alot can be done.

Nobody gets on the back of Coley mate. Nobody could do what he has done for us. He is and forever will be a Stanley Legend.

Its just the fact that the team (in mine and alot of others opinions) has been carrying Miles and Mconville alot recent games. Especially when we have Turner warming the bench its very frustrating (especially when we lose)

Luckily im right in the middle of the main with a good mad bunch mainly give the rubbish refs / liners a piece of our minds on behalf of our team lol.

Yeh agree with that, i would of liked turner given a good chance on field, trouble with sean and john is its not a 90 min consistancy. Was surprised that no subs was used to give the benchers a chance to prove themselves and take off tired legs.

1 Rochdale 30 19 5 6 63 27 62 36

7 Notts County 28 13 9 6 56 25 48 31
8 Accy Stanley 29 14 4 11 44 42 46 2

Surely this is what matters, not Miles, McConville, Turner Etc. I am one of Turners biggest fans and am not overly impressed that McConville keeps playing before him, neither am I happy with Billy Kee spending time on the bench, BUT, I am not in charge and the chap who has been since 10 August 1999, is not doing too bad a job at the moment!!

Let's just enjoy the ride and get behind the 11 players on the pitch!!!

Together We Are Stanley

dont think anyone can disagree, all i'm saying is tired legs need replacing wi fresh uns in many instances, that does NOT happen WHY? aint rocket science, don't need a coaching degree or owt to see that.

if a teams playing well fair enough ya dont wanna upset the balance, if it aint theres no friggin balance.

Willie Miller · 21-02-2010, 14:11

I talked to Coley

He just doesn't make many substitutions. Call it a weakness. Call it a characteristic.

Coley is good!

Only the fan's are the constant at a club at not the manager or players and If I feel somebody is having a poor game ill voice my opinion to do so.

That is a given right of a paying SEASON TICKET holder dont you think???

I never said it was you who thought we were poor. And, also as a paying season ticket holder, I actually don't think our so called "rights" extend to picking on individuals in the team on the pitch for abuse, which serves no useful purpose at all. Not that I don't scream and shout in frustration plenty.

Pendle Red · 21-02-2010, 14:34

Football is a game that if it did not spark debate, fury, bewilderment, frustration, happiness, excitement and joy well there wouldn't be much point going really and that's on the Monday after the game on Saturday

smudgie · 21-02-2010, 14:44

exactly Pendle!!

After that yesterday ive seen it all on a football pitch haha

Pendle Red · 21-02-2010, 14:45

As a Club everybodies opions count no matter how small or how large, I have seen players kick walls, shout things at fans, fight amongst themselves. I have seen players pulled to bits in TV Interviews and heard it radio interviews, read the interviews 3197

Nobody is denying Coley has worked miracles and is seen in some quarters as the best thing ever but we all play a part in the Club just in our own individual ways, some are more vocal than others.
