Had a quick read through the papers in Tesco today and the Stanley manager was angry about us changing at the hotel (told yer it was a bad idea). Also he said that Woy acted very badly towards him during the game. I think it was in the Sun.
This has been sloshing about since the game. Frankly the pitch and ground were a disgrace and Fulham changed on the bus. Afterwards we went home. Stanley only make themselves look disappointing by acting like jilted 15 year olds
Cheap journalism during a slow transfer window. Tripe like this is best ignored.
Some nice words on here from rival team supporters about Roy in his defense though:

Vaguely curious as to why this was being repeated 5 days after the event, I had a look at Stanley's website (http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/).
Lo and behold if there isn't a whacking great advert for The Sun's discounted football tickets promotion on there. It doesn't seem too cynical to suggest that they're doing everything possible to keep themselves in the public consciousness whilst this promotion is underway. Does it?
I feel slightly embarrassed by the "Accrington incident" . It was something I could see chelsea doing but never a Fulham side, theres a fine line between us and them, very disrespectful and hurtful especialy with al the preparations Stanley would have made to impress us

You mean they swept the hay up from the changing room floor?
accrington stanley????? who are they? EXACTLEY!
In all seriousness, from the pres conferences you have seen Roy conduct and his general demeanour can you see him acting like a pr*ck to these blokes?
Sounds like someone is a bit p*ssed there bash and crash attempt to steal a premiership cap has failed. Throwing about slander toward the opposition coach smells of CHAV!

Rather like the scene in The Damned United where Cloughie gets annoyed by his treatment from Don Revie/Leeds?
It's understandable that they might complain about changing rooms but it soudned like we were doing them a favour.
Not to sure about Woy complaining to the ref. He's normally deep in thought (or despair) during most matches.

Exactly, it wasnt that long ago we were in Accringtons shoes languishing at the bottom of the football league, imagine if a big team did that to us then
I am not proud of the hotel change thing, but only a bunch of unemployed northerners can keep this issue going way past it's sell by time. I like AS as much as the next man, and want them to survive, but this is way too much sour grapes after the fact and now I couldn't really give a rat's arse if they go into administration because the real AS went out of business in the mid sixties anyways. Why does all northern clubs hate anything from London?

Frankly, if I may say so, there have been more than one occassion where posters on this board have made less than flattering remarks about Englanders from up North, so I am guessing it's like anywhere else in the world......geography does seem to matter to us for whatever reason.
Northern Monkey, trying to get a couple of quid from the papers for being controversal!
Roy doesn't even have a bad word for Referees!!!

You should have seen the hatred between Londoners and as JBH quite rightly calls the Northern monkeys about 20 years ago, you could spot a Northerner in London straight away, to a lesser extent you still can, but they really hate us. Perhaps someone could find a link to Harry Enfields Loadsa Money character having a pop at Northerners for the benefit of RR. Loads of Northerners move to the city with streets of Gold, but not many Londoners move up to live in the slums of the grey cold North.

It's strange isn't? My experience with the Londoners on this board is, I couldn't see how anyone would hate you lot.
Not even the Qprhaaaaaa fan would believe that Roy was rude .
I am surprised that the guy actually wrote the story ...even a Sun jurno
I dont think its a London thing, I think its a north south thing, they didnt care much for bristolians or saints either.
Incidentally do we like them?? Not really.....

Maybe not a Stanley supporter, but just a Sun hack with nothing erlse to fill up column inches so he writes this so he can head down to the pub and drain a few pints.
