I think you meant to say LB,but IMO & more importantly Shez`s we dont have better at LB otherwise he wouldn`t be playing there.

Lol.You`re quality! Young Danny is far from gutless.If you`ve been going to watch `tics for years as you say you have then you should surely have seen enough football by now to recognise this.I`ve seen the lad play in all bar the game at Stockport whilst he`s been on loan with us & what I`ve seen he`s blocked goalbound shots with his body & made goalsaving clearances off the line on at least four or five times saving certain goals.That to me does not show a lack of having guts. The thing I would say about Danny is he stands off the right winger a bit too much allowing the winger to get the cross into the box too many times(a`la Dean Holden),though Danny is clearly a winger/wing back filling in at Left Back.I`d love to see him on the Left Wing & Taylor on the Right Wing where I think he`d be better utilised.

Why no squire?

Danny Boxall

Indeed. I wouldn`t say creativity was one of his strong points.Though as they say he can score the odd screamer,e.g. Grimsby away pre-season!

He had a good game and scored. No player really stood out today, but nobody had a bad game either. You are just a moaning bastard. Yep,pretty much covers it. End of :censored:e thread.

Re mic being left switched on,I was going to mention this.Happened in last home game also at similar stage just before h-t.A bit amateurish & VERY ANNOYING!!!

As we`ve got a free Saturday I`ll be goin to see Southport v Boston in the 3rd Qualifying Round to see how Chris Lever is gettin on.Not sure what Tezza Smith is up to these days though as has long since been released by Port.

Byrne for Lomax & Davies for Lewi.Also can we please have a central midfielder on the bench?

Carlisle 1-0 Leeds.(Andy Hughes o.g) Danny Graham gets sent off for head-butting Neil Kilkenny,thus incurring a three match ban.

Indeed.Though they`ve now signed a certain Josh Low for RW

Just read the match report in the NOTW which quotes Ronnie Moore saying the refs assistant got the decision wrong for Tranmere`s disallowed goal and the referee being unable to overrule him. Correct me if I`m wrong or if the ruling has changed but I was under the impression that referees have the authority to overrule their assistant`s decisions.Didn`t the ref at Bloomfield Road overrule the linesman`s decision to disallow Wellens`long range goal for offside a couple of seasons ago?

Indeed.Hoping someone dies is not only a juvenile remark to make but also in bad taste IMO.Now which minority set of fans were heard chanting "Die,die Ricketts.Ricketts die!"again?

Latics 2-0 Millwall,Davies,6,397

With me being slightly biased towards the Czechs, I would personally have Pilsner Urquell up front in place of Holsten Pils and Budvar would get the nod over Budweiser everytime!Budweiser,pah!Just a watered down immitation of the real thing!

As mentioned,I thought the Left Back looked ok for the first 20-25 mins then got continually beaten by their right winger time after time due to lack of pace and anticipation.His first touch wasn`t the best either.Seemed to look more like a Centre half than Left Back IMO. The left winger that came on during the second half looked like he had somethin about him and defo worth another look at. Phillips looked class,with skill and pace to burn.Get him signed up asap!!!! A further point,Taylor looked far more effective when switched to his natural position at Right Wing rather than filling in at Left Back.Admittedly it was in a pre-season friendly against a mid to lower reach League Two side but to me it was a clear indication of where he should be playing by utilising his strengths.

Ernie.You lived the dream.For that you and your family must be so proud.The impact you had on fellow fans in their admiration of you is clear from all the tributes and messages here.Players come,players go.Many of which are forgotten.Not you Ernie.You will be remembered fondly for your will and desire and genuine love for the game.For that,I am very proud and grateful to have seen you play for our team. R.I.P Ernie

Whys that then?

Slavia Prague & Southport. Noticed one or two mentioned Espanyol.I went to a game there a couple of years ago against Racing & it was the dullest match I`ve ever had the misfortune to go and watch.The match was played at such a slow tempo with no attempts made all match to try and entertain the suffering crowd.It was only a meaningless mid-table affair,but after that you can stick your Spanish togger up your hoop! Eintracht Frankfurt have also been metioned,whom I try and keep an eye out for.That said I now look out for S.V Hamburg`s scores as well as I went to a U.E.F.A Cup game last season against Liteks Lovech(some Bulgarian pig farmers)and was mightily impressed with their brand spanking new stadium and also prior to kick off they had some guy stood on top of what can only be described as some kind of fire engine crane with a platform on top.He was slowly hoisted up by some mechanical device to close to the summit of the stadium roof and proceeded to orchestrate the home fans chanting with the aid of some booming background music,until they were whipped up to a frenzy! Those kerayzee Germans!

Seconded.All the best Gaz.You`ve been a professional in the true sense of the word in your time at Latics.A fitting end today to one of my favourite Latics players of recent times. Good luck to you and the Dons.Yet another Scottish team`s results to look out for with ex-`tic players playing up there!

Yep,I wont be sorry when/if JP leaves for pastures new.A player with limited abilities who was better utilised in backs to the wall matches away from home,as mentioned the Everton game for example.Very similar to his predecessor Rocastle who IMO also was not good enough for us.(evidently not good enough for Port Vale either!)

Some guy up front for Walsall who played at BP.Erm Ricketts or somebody! Lambert & Walker at Bristol Rovers looked handy. Also was impressed by Donny`s Coppinger.
