just 2 divisions and a lifetimes finances away, but hey, why let reason and logic get in the way of a good story?

no, what with you talking :censored:e an all....... as a general reply to all the numptys posting on this thread, you hate United, well done, whats missing from your lives? I'd personally would spend my energy hating someone relevant, like Huddersfield, or Tranmere. Or does hating a club Oldham have nothing to do with really mean a closet sign of affection, you know like when you always threw abuse at the girl you really liked, but when people suggested you liked her, you said "nah :censored: off thats gay"

so you hate a club? isnt hate a bit strong really? i mean, ive got a kid, and i dont hate anybody or anything that isnt going to do him any harm, i find it hard to get wound up about anything else. I think you need a girlfriend, or a hobby apart from football, honestly, its a big wide world outside of that 90 minutes we all waste every weekend...........

Because people die in an incident related to a club Oldham have a "ruivalry" with 40 years later, that isnt really a rivalry, but more an excuse to throw abuse at local lazy people who can be arsed going to watched local live football. Is that somewhere close?

so how do you deal with the conseuqence of being a small pathetic person then? cos lets face it, would you call the people who died in 9/11 a "twin towerer"? I mean, lets have it right, to take pleasure in an air disaster from 50+ years ago, you must have something missing in your own life?

would you refer to liverpool fans as "hillsboroughs"? No, end of arguement. plus, the time added on today was correct, City wasted time like nobodys business, they got what was coming to them. Plus, to be fair, United murdered them second half, or does that go against te grain to admit united might have possibly played well?

or maybe, just maybe, United havent done anything wrong? maybe not ethical, but within the laws of FIFA.

eh?

Oh yeah, I fully appreciate the banter and all that, it just saddens me a bit when I see grown men actually jumping in the air celebrating when another team (and im sure Oldham and Burnley had a fair rivalry when they were both in the same division didnt they?) save a penalty. And as for the financing of the stadium, thats what would be one of the most prevalent thoughts in my mind, beleive me the last thing you want is to be mired in unsustainable debt, United are at that level now, some of the stories Ive heard this summer beggar belief for "the richest club in the world" (sic). i think sums it up adequately.

in terms of united fans who gloat in pubs etc without going to games, yeah, rub it in their faces when they get beat, but I still dont quite understand the mentality of going in a pub when they are showing united and supporting the other team but hey ho, each to their own and all that. In terms of Oldham, and YOUR message board, I am not calling all of you sad, just the ones who were taking as much delight from a Burnley goal as I see them taking from an Oldham goal. I do check Oldham news quite often actually, as I have lived in this town for a large percentage of my life, and a lot of mates who I have gone through school with support Oldham. I go to games when I can, and would like to see Oldham do well for the town in general. The owners getting a new stadium? for what my two penneth is worth (probably not a lot the majority would say but never the less), they will be selling prime building land at Boundary Park, and build the new ground for half the price, probably by borrowing the money. How do you you think they are going to secure that finance? My guess is by mortgaging the new ground, thereby costing them next to nothing and passing all debt onto the football club, leaving them to walk away with a nice big profit. (which I believe they have already made noises about recently) I didnt feel a "need" to come on here and tell you you are sad, and no, Oldham do not mean anything to most United fans, however, as someone who lives in Oldham (but not born in Oldham) they have some local relevance, and this is a forum I enjoy lurking on for some of the non football related stuff that gets posted, just thought I would add my opinion, cos thats what footballs all about, isnt it?

this man speaks sense

how very very very sad. the fact that you would rather look at a game between 2 sides who mean nothing to Oldham and enjoy beating the other than look at the people running Oldham and ask why a town a third the size of Oldham are 2 divisions above them in the league. but instead of asking serious questions, i expect a load of abuse for being a "ManUre *******". I think that Corporal Jones fella might have struck on something........

football, no matter who you support, only gets in the way of a good piss up on a saturday (or sunday usually in our feckin case). i dont mind putting 18 quid into latics every few weeks, maybe if they did more like bury did the other week, ie half price tickets for season ticket holders from other clubs, they would attract more or make more money?

there was nothing in the post to suggest it was tongue in cheek, but thats the beauty, or otherwise, of the written word. Im not on any bandwagon, I am a United fan, st holder etc etc, have been for many years, i just happen to live in oldham and a few of my mates are oldham fans, so i take a bit of an interest in how they do and try and go and watch them a few times a season. I personally wont win any silverware, the team i support will hopefully, but either way its been a good season. (i also cringe at the Theatre of Dreams name, just because the club spout this crap doesnt mean us fans accept it) Finally, my spelling and grammar are a disgrace? didnt realise it was an english test, ah well, i'll get back to my blissful ignorance.

even though not intended as such, ill take that as a compliment. and fergie would never hear a word spoken against park, despite the fact he is crap.
