  1. I've not heard it - but i know who the two fella's are - and I don't see how they can disatance themselves from it. they're both linked deeply to the club and players and - to be honest - old.

     

    Like you say, you need a little distance, but understanding - coupled with passion and a level (if not complete) un-biasedness (that can't be a word, but I'm using it anyway!) so that you know whats going on!

     

    Maybe next year they'll change it up?

    It is like they are watching snooker at times!

  2. I've got mountains of Uni work to do and no money... I usually get mi dad to take us (and then 'forget' my cash) but he couldn't make it today, so I sacrificed it to sit here with all my work open on the PC, but just using OWTB to 'watch' it instead.

     

    complete waste of time - so if anyone wants to write me a 5,000 word report on the effects of NewsCorp in relation to the USA's political and Economic climate it would be much appreciated!

    lucky sod!

    We need someone younger with a bit more passion in their voice... I think they are too familiar with the players etc and see it just as a job rather than a being a fan! I am sure I heard one of them laughing when they bagged their second goal? Could be wrong! :huh:

  3. Stevie,

     

    I don't think we have spoken before, but I am within a mile of you on Lochend Road... quite spooky really! Would be great to meet up at some point maybe and talk 'tics etc, I won't bother with the Hearts chat as I am more of a Hibs fan (okay, okay lets keep it Latics shall we) Great to know of another Latics fan in Scotland.

     

    Cheers

  4. Hey Rummy/Rick

     

    lol, yeah a bit of a fetish for goalkeepers it seems. Not sure what it was about Goram to be honest, but my dad took me to watch Latics train a few times when I was a nipper and I spoke to Goram each time. Every time the ball went over the wall I legged it to retrieve it. He thanked me after and said I could take a few penalties against him, scoring all of them obviuosly (I was about 8 at the time). I think made him a bit of a hero for me.

     

    I was goalie at St. Andrews Rick, well remembered. I think because I was tall rather than being any good. I see myself as a quality left winger myself ;)

     

    Am hoping to get down for the Millwall game in Feb, and then Carlisle Away in March. I will speak to Inspiral as he mentioned he may be going from Edinburgh too. May be good to meet up Rick, (you may see my dad and bro at Scunny tomorrow - they definitely have the Latics bug at the moment) and anyone else for that matter... the vibe around this board and JKLatics at the moment is brilliant. Long may it continue... into the Championship!

     

    Cheers

    And Finally, You became a millionaire, Oldham were available to purchase, what would you do to make our club Secure for the future?

    Would need more than a million I think. Similar to TTA actually, get the club doing the basics right, then steadily introuduce incentives, market the club via the correct medium and media and then ensure there is enough money left to purchase players who want to play for the club, not play for money! Simple!!

     

    Welcome aboard Mr Wright.. :D
