I think this "doesn't want to play" stuff is bollocks, the kid is a Latics fan why wouldn't he want to play? He was interviewed by GMR on Tuesday, I didn't hear it but my Mum did, she said it sounds like he has depression or something.

Poor ickle Chrissy...

On the other hand you have Latics fans screaming at DP when he takes him off.

Serious?

He came out 5 mins early during half time and attempted to sulk/walk/trot/jog across the pitch and back again and carried straight on up the tunnel. I'm guessing that was his fitness test?

The lad has no fight or bottle and if there's any club still out there remotely interested then we should be on the phone to them right now.

Best reffing performance at BP for many a year.

Well done Mark.

Has been a passenger all season. Totally unfit, way off the pace, and clearly a player who cannot play through the pain barrier. Another 45 minutes today with his head down and the world against him.

Today, although a half too late, Penney FINALLY saw sense. And look what a fully fit XI put on? A semi decent performance with lots of drive. Taylor should have been dropped weeks ago, instead Penney has had us playing with 10 men week in week out.

A good win today backed up by an excellent set of results.

Do not play Taylor again this season and we may be alright. Oh and start :censored: every single game. Exactly the type of player we need in a scrap. Taylor take note.

FIGHT

I can't, when is it?

900 max. All sad.

HUDDS

We were playing Gillingham today weren't we?

Just puzzled why we sat back and begged them to come at us for the final 15 minutes. Good job they're as bad as us.

Oh for a team that kicks on after scoring a goal...

PANIC

It's only a few hours and then you can get back on the lash. Bank holiday weekend innit.

Wasters.

A real must win game...to everyone but Penney!

One up to 3-1 down. Absolutely shocking. What do we hear? "We'll be alright if we play like that on Saturday". No we won't you berk! We'll get beat.

The guy is a ****!

Oh and no I didn't go. And I couldn't be less @rsed.

OARIP

You mean when David Mellor stopped doing it?

Gotta be when Danny Baker and Danny Kelly stopped their TalkSport (or was it Talk Radio?) show. Now that was football when it was fun.

Now? Take your pick and in no particular order...

High turnover of players

More loanees than homegrown players

Stuck in this division since Adam was a lad

Lowest crowds since er Adam was...

3 sided sh1t hole with no decent bar to hide in

UFC

The fans have become 'important' and know too much

Fanfare for the common man

That period a few years back where we rolled out (the same) old player after old player at half time. Something was lost after that.

Girls

No away team player to look forward to seeing

No home team player to look forward to seeing

No personalities a la tricky Ricky, Andy Rhodes, Stitch etc

No real link or bond between the fans and the players

False dawn

False dawn

False dawn

Fal...

The internet

The death of football songs and chants (I swear I heard "Come on Oldham" v Brighton)

The scoreboard not prompting the above

The reading out of the half time scores used to be a religion

I could go on but there's a match going on and Rooney's just notched...

E4e

OLDEN

There is not a chance that we will go down. There are far worse teams than us down there.

 

And I'm the most pessimistic person in the world.

Cuckoo!

How do you expect us to stay up when we don't score goals? The teams around us at the moment are bagging for fun. All it takes is for their keeper to have the game of his life and they've points in the bag. Us? We'll accumulate our points through draws.

E4e

BLANK

Oh, and his mobile number is on their - why not give him a call and ensure you know what he's doing today - we don't want any secrecy now, do we?

Get her.

This community guy, I'm guessing his role is to improve the image of OAFC in the community, generating more public interest in the team, getting more bums on seats?

Quite ironic really seeing as he quite openly puts his team on this MB as Southend United.

Don't support United, come and support Oldham! Me? Pfah yeah right, I'll be down at Roots Hall. Anyway, do as I say and not as I do!

E4e

WEIRD

Can fully believe this. I read in the Chron midweek about how Taylor can't fully participate in training and is only x% fit, still struggling with an injury that has plagued Jacobson. His recent performances back this up completely. So my question is...

Why the fook is he playing full 90's every single week??????

E4e

AJOKE

Dish - Cheers, as far as I know the music selection doesn't have to be approved by anyone, the 2 bands you have suggested will both be featured at Tuesdays game and were already in my thoughts as local bands with a Latics connection. For instance, I know at least 1 of The Courteeners is an Oldham fan, as they have just toured with The Whip, again, an Oldham band...

The problem with music is that it is massively subjective, we appear to have similar tastes and want to hear the same sort of things, however out of the 3,500 who regularly go this only makes up a certain percentage, some will like pop, some dance etc... However I think the main themes should be to get locals bands on there and to keep it upbeat... Thus The Inspirals and Twisted Wheel are great examples of bands to play....

I am sure the powers that be will tell me in no uncertain terms if they don't like the choices on Tuesday!!

All of todays suggestions I have written down and genuinely taken on board with the hope of getting a better matchday experience for everyone..

Broady, balls to pre-match and half time! That's my favourite bit. How about brightening up the 90 mins with a few Simpsonsesque type shout outs?

Regardless of the results, they all seem to be scoring goals. Wish I could say that about our bunch of jaffa's.

We're in trouble.

We're too busy promoting this Scoreboard fun to manage a Lottery. Jeez, who do you think we are, Camelot?!?

I wish you'd considered this back when you were amongst the first vociferously calling for Sheridan's head.

All well and good these long emails about team selection and who should be our next boss. Stick to Champ Manager. Yes Penney is a nugget, the players are a disgrace, the football is absolutely mind numbing and an insult to the game, but no one is bothering with the underlying issue at the club and in particular the way it's being run.

It's rotten.

If we're fortunate to still be in business in 5 years time we'll still be playing in a 3 sided dump surrounded by terraced houses. Managers and players come and go, homes don't. So regardless of who'll be in charge, I won't be there to see it because I'm not willing to spend anymore time and money supporting a rotting football club on its last legs.

Balls to the manager, there's more pressing issues out there.

Just wondered what thoughts were on whether you would prefer the last 5/6 games to be a relegation battle and generate a tad of excitement and do a Beckett/Bradford or improve now and have the last 5/6 as meaningless - would you rather feel hurt or nothing at all as the song goes ?

Excitement? Would you back this current crop to pull us out of the mire if our League 1 status depended on it?

E4e

FUNNY

???????

 

As for the rest. You cant defend the indefensible.

Ooops. Sums up my interest I think.

E4e

LAKOF

Furman and Holdsworth camped barely yards in front of our centre halves all game, Taylor totally anonymous doing his best to avoid play, Whitts Whitts, Smalley not wanting to be there, leaving Guy and Abbott alone with no one within 30 yards of them...

Is there any wonder we're a team full of jaffas?

NTARD

He did well. I suspect "different class" somewhat overstates things though.

“I thought they (Eaves and Millar against Wycombe) were different class, their ability on the ball and wanting the ball was a big thing. They wanted it to make an impact. They are only youngsters but they were excellent coming on.” Quote from Dave Penney post Wycombe.

Millar was sooooooo good he didn't even warrant the final substitution today.

E4e

SENSE

Chris Taylor **** off! The bone idle waste of space. Barring injuries, has he ever been subbed off?

Millar was different class last week wasn't he? Can't believe he's not had a chance since. A mockery looking at todays totally inept shower. We only started when Eaves came on. We still had a sub left didn't we? Taylor, untouchable.
