I thought that was a huge factor towards the lads sealing the win - top marks Jase and great lyrics to the pistols song!!!!! Bring on Saturday.

I wuv you too , Joe.....

Seriously, the middle "ultra" section is getting wider & wider. Youngsters are filling the Clayton End to join in & the support has ramped up a gear (inspite of some Jedward songs lol). But its only as good as the last game, same again Saturday please everyone. Drum died last night but will be fixed & snare should be back too.....

Extra 10% from the players I am sure with noisy passionate fanaticals from the Clayton End...

I was one of the ones on the thread on millersmad praising your fans. I have to admit, despite absolutely hating league 2 and its terrible standard of football (RUFC are part of that so dont think im being billy big bolloks), I really enjoyed Accys family atmosphere.

Your fans are a credit and sing non stop and show great enthusiasm. You also have a team that, at times, play some good football. I do think had we turned up for 90 minutes and not 45 minutes we would have won though as its rare that Le Fondre misses chances.

One thing I totally disagree with you on is the dissallowed goal. It was a goal kick and I believe you cant be offside from a goal kick. Furthermore, Le fondre picked up the ball in the 2nd phase of play from an Accy defender which means hes onside. On all accounts hes not offside and you got away with it, a poor decision by linesman and a weak referee for not allowing the goal.

Apart from that credit to your club, players and fans.

Superb game of tuesday night football and thankfully the drum died so in a way i was glad i could finally just watch the game for once!!! Was a great tuesday night game and stanley deserved their win and put in so much effort even when looking very tired!! Did anyone else notice Symes looking very tired? Miss placing his passes here and there and even an airshot at one time when in the box! Deano had another great game and we all found out he can just skip past players aswell like a Brazilian!!! Phil kept le fondre at bay and also bouzza had a great game and what a superb save in the second half! However we gradfted the win and it was well deserved!

Superb atmosphere as usual, same again Saturdayyyy!!

Just a little video of last night:

Sorry mate but the rules of offside state that when the ball is kicked forward and crosses the centre line if a player is forward of the last defender then they are offside and to be fair to the linesman he raised his flag straight away prior to Stanley players involvement.

You can't be offside if the ball is received directly from a goal kick.

That was FANtastic, thanks for posting that my good man!! If we can re-create that last 15 minutes for the whole game on Saturday, then there will be only one winner!!!

As somone stated, you cant be offside from goal kicks.

Im pretty sure I know that if a player is forward of the last defender past the halfway line its offside. However, there are certain circumstances when that isnt the case.. 2 of them are...

1. From a goal kick
2. If that player recieves is not involved in the first phase of play but gets involved in the 2nd phase of play

So the fact the linesman had his flag straight up just goes to say the linesman got it wrong, quickly.

If you feel disappointed so did we.

How I came away from your place (err the sports stadium you play at) without seeing my team take at least one point I will never know neither did the police sergeant who commiserated with us outside the ground.

Highlights:

Oldgobbin · 19-03-2010, 15:35

The good thing about these highlights is that they clearly show that the Millers' disallowed goal did not come from a goal kick, so all the red herrings about not being offside from a goal kick are completely groundless. The goalkeeper had the ball on the edge of his penalty area before he hoofed it up the field. I have to say, I hadn't realised this on the night, but it's good to see that justice was, in fact, done.
