Gardner has shown that he is comfortably our best midfielder in the last few games. Now that could be because he's out-of-contract Dan so has upped his game. I can see him being offered another year, but with pay skewed towards him playing. So a reduced basic wage but a playing bonus that significantly increases his salary.

Where were the likes of Salford, Harrogate and Dorking 25 years ago? We've gone backwards often down to poor leadership at board level. They haven't. 25 years is a long time in football. In 1970/71 we were promoted from the then 4th division and Burnley and Blackpool were relegated from the then first division. In 1990/91 we were promoted to the then 1st division and Burnley and Blackpool finished in the playoffs in the then division 4.

Left his armband on the pitch late on. Think it was pulled off by an Alty player. I think he is part of the problem with our motivation and lack of leadership.

Not rated at Tranmere is better than nonexistent at Oldham

You did but today's ref wasn't the one who was originally announced. Robert Massey-Ellis replaced Andrew Miller. He is a bit card happy too, as was obvious today. Don't recall him being that card happy when he reffed our game at Barnet last season. A Google search will bring up his twitter. Still public...

Yep. I thought it was bad when I had to explain it to the person running the club not named Lemsagam, because the players didn't know. That was at least 3 years ago. The ref was helping the players take our FK from where it could have been but not as insistent as today's ref. Our players ended up losing at least 20 yards. The first time it happened was in the first league game at BP since the law was changed - MK Dons at home in August 2018.

As @doctor evil said it's where the player impacts the play, i.e. where he touches the ball. See paragraph 4 of https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-11---offside The law changed in summer 2018.

Currently getting promotion at Wembley. As although we ended up having to win the last 3 games in 93 that was only because Sheffield United won the first 2 of their last 3 including an away win at Everton IIRC.

I've seen something to suggest that.

He doesn't get into my top 3. Hudson, Sheron, Norwood all above him. I've probably not seen his best performances though. His rather obvious giving up at Aldershot has again made me question his leadership too. Something his performance at Rochdale, especially after our 3rd / 4th goal, had restored. Lots of people suggesting other players that if we want to go up and do well need replacing. Well Hogan is in that list for me both as a player and a captain.

Hope you and the good lady get better soon.

Check the #oafc on X (previously Twitter) few people selling spares.

Yep 4th Thursday in March

This giving grief doesn't do anyone any favours. There was an element of performative nonsense about it too. Due to the remaining fixtures I think making the playoffs might still be in our hands.
