Good spot.

Was thinking the same thing. Pretty compelling endorsement for MM this. I'm reassured - because I agree - by the fact that Oldham fans generally aren't behaving like over reacting babies.

Ah!

Oh, I didn't realise you were meaning the interview. Sorry Dave, I took the quotes from the Oldham Times article..I should have said. See how easy it is to get mixed messages.

Ok m certainly not going to listen to it again but I'm sure he said relegation

Yes, someone has already made that observation and he didn't actually say "at the other end of the table". What exactly was the "Other end" when he took over? If he had said the wrong end of the table, then fair enough. It's all down to the interpretation of words.

No; they were leaving at lunchtime on the weds. They had Thursday off.

Says to me that there is a schism in the squad and some would have rather gone home whilst some may have preferred to stay. Even in my job, some people are divisive knobheads, I guess it must be commonplace.

It was Freeman's last game.

Right I see. Then tiredness was blamed for getting stuffed by Ebbsfleet 4-1 two days later..

Aye, probably.

He said at the other end of the table, with crystal clarity

Yeah, that was my understanding. Would rather fuck off home than a night together at a luxury hotel for team bonding with a day off on the Thursday anyway.

Why wasn’t captain fantastic dropped like reid then ?

Could be a symptom of the Unsworth period?

So you mean they were going to stay over on the Wednesday night but went home after the game instead?

Doesn’t surprise me - but on the other hand isn’t there an element of nobhead behaviour in every squad at every club. Mellon should absolutely drive team ethic and professionalism, but he also needs to pick his battles for the greater good. When you stack up all the stories this season it’s clear there’s a culture and mindset problem, I just hope he doesn’t alienate the players while trying to maintain standards. He needs them on side.

Heeee heeeee!

So, just the one actual striker, then.

Ackey had a senior moment.

It seems the layers are slowly being stripped away. I can totally believe this is something that actually happened. The fuckwits.

The 2024 version of Shez at the Belle Vue dogs.

It was more the fact that he asked for a two night stay at the luxury hotel and had the use of the gym and pool, spa for team bonding . The captain complained that they didnt want to spend the second night and kicked up a fuss. The extent was that the hotel made them packed lunches for the way home and the captain said this was crap food and the squad would eat shit at the service station: Mickey apparently exploded as they also had Thursday off and realised he was looking after a bunch of kids.

I’m hearing he’s trying to stamp a bit more professionalism on the squad. He’s obviously not fully fit but he’s made his own fitness structure and is only taking a couple of weeks off. Pre season don’t be surprised if you see him at the gym and in and around the club.
