Accrington 1 [the ref] Morecambe 0 Live Thread

[Keith]

And here we go, now Acci cheats have realised the ref will buy it every time they fall over & appeal, they are playing as if the pitch is frozen. Their defender in the penalty area kneels down and appeals, sure enough, free kick. Going to be a long half 'cause he's not going to give us anything.

I hate that. Just hate it. Get on your feet and win or lose with dignity.

Freez asks if anyone would take a point ..............too bloody right I would !!!

Seconded.

Definitely!

I hate it too, but I'm beginning to think we need to start diving too, because keep getting robbed and not getting decisions going our way. They've niggled & tugged shirts all game and they get a penalty for diving.

Just watch, if we did it? We'd catch a disproportionate amount of flak, knowing our luck.

[Keith]

To be fair, I don't think he dived for penalty. It was a coming together resulting in both players falling over. Difference is, we didn't appeal for anything, their lad did. So ref gave it to the player who appealed.

[drretro]

If we win 4-1, I'm streaking*.

[Keith]

It's a team ethos. Acci player goes down in a 50/50, three nearest Accrington players appeal, ref gives a free kick... again. It led up to a shot on target.

[drretro]

Linesman is down? Really?

[Keith]

He's not gone down, but is being subbed. 4th Official stripping off!

[Keith]

Sniper in the stand has just shot another of their players, rolled around holding his shin, stood up holding his ribs.

And now a corner for the appeals.

[drretro]

I wonder how much an international text costs me...

(Spoiler: not a lot, but not so cheap that I want to make a habit of it.)

Surprise they're not issued Kevlar and helmets.

[Keith]

Old gets fouled, Acci get a throw in. Old gets annoyed and a yellow card for dissent.

I hate Accrington Stanley.

It'd almost be funny!

[Keith]

Put the commentary on for the last couple of minutes. Just in time for them to be talking about the Accrington fans throwing the ball away from Barry. Even their fans are cheats!

Six minutes added on! COME ON!

[drretro]

Even their fans are cheats!

That's uh... that's one word for them. Not the one I'd use, but valid.

Lady Luck has definitely left us

[drretro]

Well...

[drretro]

Well, on the plus side, the lads are about to get the best view possible of Accrington; in the rear view mirror.

[Keith]

We deserved a point. Ref was a homer. Poor decisions throughout, resulting in them getting three points and robbing us of one. Accrington must practice niggles & dives to be that good at them. Even the ball boys didn't give the ball back when we wanted to take a throw in. I really hope they don't go up, but they probably will... "Cheats never prosper"? I bet they do

[Keith]

Since becoming a wheelchair user, I've only had a poor experience at two grounds. One was Fleetwood. Guess the other??? Yup, Cheatrington Stanley.

[bill ding]

We just need to start cheating , diving , faking injuries , kicking the ball away etc . Stanley, Mansfield and Stevenage are all brilliant at it and look where they are
