  1. I've been reading this forum daily for around 10 years, it's got a right bunch of knobs posting regularly but it also has some very good posters who are able to disagree and discuss those disagreements like civilised people. I always enjoy reading from these posters, I've no interest in a different forum. There will always be the vocal few who mouth off at everyone, where ever you go.

  2. Outclassed by a much better side. Can't argue with the result at all. Two players pointing at the man running in to get the ball from the corner need a bollocking. Communication was poor throughout the game and it cost us there. I was impressed with Holloway throughout. I think he has a little more class than the forwards we've had up until now. He's not a goal scorer though, we need to find the right partner for him and I don't think that's McLaughlin. (no idea who it is though).

  3. I'm not much of a poster, I usually think of a reply to some one and then decide it's not worth just getting shouted down by the vocal minority. Having said that I've been here reading the posts every day for nearly the full 10 years and I'd miss OWTB if it was gone.

     

    Here's to the next 10 years. Christ knows where we'll be by then.

  4. Some people really do hear what they want to hear don't they.

     

    I thought it was a very frank and honest interview. He admitted the football is poor, that we're in a state financially and that we're struggling to survive. I think some people won't be happy until he admits to stealing milk from children. He's offered to be grilled on camera by his biggest detractors, what more can he do?

     

    I'm by no means the mans biggest fan but some people's reactions to him verge on moronic.

     

    If you have serious concerns about specific subjects and you have a good idea what you're talking about, go and question him. You'll be doing a service to the Latics community if your concerns are justified and if not, we'll all know for sure.

  5. I'm a ST holder but I chose not to go today. I didn't have big plans or anything, I just thought that rather than sitting freezing my arse off for two hours watching the most turgid football you can imagine, I'd rather enjoy my Saturday. And I did just that. Now I've come on here to get a picture of the game and find that it was exactly what I thought it would be. This is the kind of day I remember when I'm deciding whether or not to renew my ST in the summer. I didn't renew until Robinson was in place this year, so two weeks before the season kicked off. Some people will renew no matter what but I'm not one of those people. I need to want to renew, to be excited for a new season. I don't owe the club anything, it's up to them to make me want to attend. At the moment I don't.

     

    Having said this, I'm not placing our problems solely at the feet of Robinson, who knows where we'd be now if he'd had more than fourteen or so days to throw together a squad. I think as long as we're in touching distance of safety in January then he should be allowed to stay and make additions to the squad.

     

    I think that we are doomed to be in a perpetual state of battling for survival until we either get new ownership or go down. Not having a go at Corney, he's done what he can but at this point he's just allowing us to decay. I'm still not entirely sure what happened in the summer, why there was a mass exodus from the club but that has to be down to him and the board.
