scotty doesn't know

does anyone know why that where this stand will be built there is what looks to be graffitti on the remains of the new start mortgages stand? it looks soo bad and i think it is embarrasing

Im sorry but id rather waiste money on a proven score'r then pinning our hopes on someone that hasnt scored lots in reserves we need a proven goal scorer end off

like joe royle said and i think i agree to a point, that teams are only as good as their forwards

I'm really excited about going to watch this match tomorrow, especially after man united's win yesterday.

 

Im not a United fan (obviously) and get tickets for free, but especially after the season we're having, I can't wait to see some decent football, I think it could be a 4-0 or 5-0er!

i wish i was going and i can very much understand why you are. tho i cant understand why some latics fans are so jealous that they wouldnt even do this and i think some people are so jealous that it stops them enjoying their lives

I've said it before and I'll say it again, Wolfy with an extended run and the right partner will score goals at this level. Will he get that chance - i'm not so sure, but lets face it anything is better than the half-arsed nay always on his arse Alessandra.

 

A big lump with Wolfy will work imo, unfortunately the few chances he has had has seen him paired with players of the standard of Warne or Lewi if he'd had the chance to play week in week out with Porter, Beckett, Hughes et al i'm sure he would have bagged a lot more than Lewi has. I'm still of the opinion (probably in the minority) but Wolfy is the most natural finisher at the club.

Cue abuse...

please tell me you dont mean long passes?

There speaks someone who probably thinks grammar is someone who lives with grandpa.

 

Pond life

haha i cannot be bothered with it on owtb and i have an a level in english language and two gcses for english language and literature

Feed the wolf and he will score!

i cannot understand why he plays for latics cause i think he has nothing to his game and i think there are too many latics fans who like him because he supports latics and is from oldham and he is a player with who they have blind faith like with mark allott and i really think some latics fans lack intelligence

Barry Ferguson and Allan McGregor have been slapped with a lifetime ban from playing for Scotland following a drinking session while with the squad.

 

scots like to drink

haha i think its funny that scotland have chosen to do this cause these two players are two of their best and i think its reaaally silly how teams do this to players and cause more problems for themselves than if they had kept the player

Wembely, wembely were the famous glossop army and were goin' to wemberly

and we'll drink in all the bars when we lift the fA Vase

cos glossop are the greatest football team......(after Oldham)

 

Yessssssssss

 

Glossop is hammered, all the bars are packed......

 

what a day...

 

1 - 1 after 90 mins

1 - 2 in 1st 15mins

1 min. of injury time in extra time and we score Yessssssssssss. cue the pitch invasion....

now penelaties!!!!!!

 

We win 6-5....massive pitch invasion .....absolutley fantastic....highlights on Channel M Friday at 7.00 oclock

 

 

========================================================================

i woulkd like to have gone really tho i went to latics and the day sounds so good

No you're right, and the stick he gets has clearly got to him. i hope a good coach will put him back on track.

i met sean eardley and michael pearson on a night out two weeks ago and we agreed that neal eardley recieves too much unfair criticism from latics fanbs and i was told it affects him tho we also agreed he will soon play for a better club than latics

bar none...

i agree

Come on in 50 years of being in football I think Alex Ferguson has had to deal with far worse from a crowd than a few chavs giving him and his son abit of grief. He probably lost no sleep over it and it ain't going to stop him with any future dealings with this club especially as him and Joe have been good friends for many years.

the problem is jealousy from latics fans and i am sure that manchester united fans dont chant similar chants about latics and i dont think they or sir alex ferguson care

i think the situation where latics haqve most money is the best tho also stability for the future

2-1 was a fair result for my money. They were never in it. We looked off the boil in the second half but over 90minutes deserved the three points.

 

Points of interest:

 

1. Peter Crouch is the most underrated player in football.

2. David James gives me panic attacks! My confidence in him couldn't be lower. That shot lept up a bit off the pitch (see 3.) but there's no excuse. His kicking was gash.

3. I'm still ashamed of the pitch. Somewhere, at least a year ago now, I talked about how shockingly bad that pitch was and it still cuts itself quicker than a teenage goth.

4. Ashley Cole is the single worst player I have ever seen. He was awful. Gave the ball away leading to their freekick/goal and at least 20 times before/after that. Awful. Awful. Awful. -1

Overall a decent night. Good result for both Irelands and Scotland too. I see Poland managed to scrape past San Marino too!

this is one of the most irrational comments i have ever read

we all know it's a bit beyond us now to finnish in the top 6, but there is still a very minimal chance of it still happening albeit minimal, you know when you say them things I remember when Utd played Burton in the FA cup and one of my Utd supporting mates were joking at the prospect of losing so I said if they got knocked out I'd wear a dress down the pub the following Wednesday, well into the 2nd half the ball rolls over a Utd defenders hand but we all know what Utd are like, even so I came bloody close. You say these things because deep down you want them to happen, but you know it's a bit beyond reality and sadly it hurts me saying this but there is a very minimal chance of Latics getting promoted. Doesnt mean we cant have fun with this thread so what crazy thing would you do if we got promoted? I think personally I'd dye my hair pink

anything anyone asks me

my dog looks like danny whitaker

My view of the clubs season - all the way from Milton Keynes..........

 

Beginning of the season the future under JS looked so promising, I was telling anyone that would listen that this season is ours for the taking, we had made lots of signings (again, as we did at beginning of the season before). JS has learned his lessons in the transfer market, I thought - no more signings like Ricketts. No more duds, for it was our young managers 3rd season in charge and now had just enough experience and gile to push us on.

We had started the "development" of the ground and things were rosey.

 

Then, something strange happened during the game at home vs MK Dons. We started bottling it all over the pitch. We rode our luck and won the match but were never the same team. Then, bad press started creeping out of the club, tales of blatent indisipline was riffe. The board came on the website and the senior management received a public slatting.

 

Things were not right.

 

The economic dowturn had really started to hit us, the board made noises of the "development" being put on hold until the economy picks up, saying that the budget for next season will have to be cut if promotion is not acheived, that they have no more money to fund us etc.

 

Suddenly Dean Windass turned up and was chuffed to bits! After all he was a legend at our level, just needed to get match fit.

 

Sadly, things never took off, even a spirited 0-0 away at Leicester couldn't get us going, it was a case of 2 steps forward 3 steps back.

 

Tales of indisapline started to rear their ugly head, the drinking culture was well and truly at large and the dreaded Doncaster Dogs night with the fans was the last straw.

 

I really lost all faith in JS after that, what was he thinking? Could you imagine Wayne Rooney putting Fabio Capello or Sir Alex Fergusson in a head lock? I don't think so. He wanted to be one of the lads, not the father figure. Time for a swift change.

The MK Dons match proved me right, I have never seen us play that bad before and I went to the Cardiff game a few years back (7-1 home defeat).

 

News of Joe Royel coming back really caught me, well done TTA! That'll bring some of the stay aways back! Might even bring some of the players back on track? The buzz of a new manager, wanting to impress a legend no less!!

 

Again we bottled it. no fight, no guts. Just hit and hope, where was the passing football I had season earlier in the season??

 

Now we've got rid of LH and I'm actually glad. He was never going to sign his contract with us, even if we had gone up (IMO). We gave him a break to show the footballing country that he had put is mis-spent youth behind him and had paid his dues. To not repay that faith and sign an extension, for me, showed us what the average footballer is all about - themselves, greed, money. There's no loyalty anymore in our sport, none whatsoever. Not when there's so much £££'S to be made.

 

We're not going up this season, I can feel it in my bones. I am so gutted as I type. Can't face another season in this God awful league.

 

If / when we don't offically make the play offs and don't win promotion, how low will our budget be? We've already got one of the lowest???

 

I can't help but feel a downward spiral hitting us hard next season - no promotion and with Joe gone (assuming he sticks to his word and leaves end of season). Who can we attract to the club (manager wise)?? No ambition anymore from the board. Our prize assets sold off.

Low attendences, lots of crap loan signings = no passion on the pitch as no one will br willing to fight for the club, just passing through, causing even lower attendences.

 

Mid-table at best for us next seaon, I am so deeply disapointed!! Where oh where did it all go so horribly wrong!?!?!

here there are certain views i really agree with

I don't give a toss if Royle loses some of his magic by staying on next season in league one, thats the past. Does it matter for the future of Oldham Athletic if Joe Royle has his first spell with us tarnished? Not at all, its a gamble well worth taking for both parties.

 

All I care about is 'is Joe Royle the best man to get us up next season?' I think he is.

 

Would we be able to attract a manager who has won the FA cup, been to a league cup final, FA semis, won promotions, won leagues, has contacts all over the country and managed in Europe? No, we'd end up with someone who hasn't really done anything anywhere near as impressive ala Moore, Sheridan and Talbot.

sorry considering what you say changes my opinion in a way

Hazell...terrible (as were most of the others, especially Lomax).

 

Kabba...abysmal, possibly the worst striker I've seen play for us in recent years.

 

93 minutes and 59 seconds...torturously bad.

 

The final second?

 

Pure ecstatic bliss!!

i dont agree cause i think the problem is the poor quality and lack of service our forwards receive form midfield

If Joe gets us to the play offs, that will be remarkable.

 

If he gets us to Wembley, that will be a miracle.

 

If he gets us to the Championship then it is truly the 'second coming' - I live in hope.

 

What he must not do is stay if these things do not come to pass, because he will surely end up leaving the club under a cloud and, for what he has done for the club in the past, he does not deserve that.

 

Joe now probably realises the size of the task in front of him, and if he is wise he will say goodbye at the end of the season.

 

 

In the meantime let's hope it is a 'second coming'.

i agree regretably

Its funny prozac you talk about how its the law ALL SEATER stadiums etc. Then you go on to say in the same post how you will take the law into your own hands if someone is standing up in front of you and your son. Surely you cant have it both ways?

haha really great point and i think its interesting that prozac hasnt responded to this comment

Surprising that Shez didnt try him out, im sure he'll feature tomorrow. Id like to see Stephens and Lee too, anyone else agree?

i cant understand why you think dale stephens should play cause he hasnt played for us before and so he may not be good enough

I left yesterdays game feeling as sad (thats the right word) as I ever have done on leaving a game. Not angry, not frustrated, but sad. I looked over at Big Joe and thought. "I' dont wanna remember this" I was only young, but I still was at latics games under big joe. Home and away. Big Joe took me to Wembleyt twice, allowed me to give grief to United fans (At primary school) after we beat em and I can remember games like Scarborough, Brighton, Chelsea where we hammered teams.

 

I dont want to remember Big Joe with that lot. Seriously consiering not going the rest of this season. Honestly - it kinda upset me.

i said this could happen and i was right

Well maybe if you'd enquired, I'd have been able to inform you I am currently in Nantes Wallasey, which is hardly a short hop, ya p****.

 

Breton cider by the gallon tonight, lids and I will be thinking of you in that tip of a town of yours while I'm out on the celebrations.

 

Game over lids and you don't like the fact we put the lights out on ya.

haha your a plastic scouser you say "lids"

As a season ticket holder i feel i have seen enough to comment on the season so far.

 

I have to say regardless how rubbish we played today what was just as annoying was all the so called " Oldham " fans who were in the r.r.e. today.

 

I have never seen so many standing throughout the match at so many times were nothing was happening.

 

This was obviously down to the return of big Joe that we attracted the floaters who come next home match will have done one.

 

This is not utd or city. When nothing is happening on the pitch please sit down as all you do is just piss everyone else off behind you.

 

I sit in the T section and until today has thankfully been a stand free zone apart from when the obvious rare exciting moments happen.

 

Stewards non- existent today. Too busy throwing out the scallies from Tranmere

you are the sort of "fan" i really dislike

Would have biten your hand off for 6th place at the start of the season.

Would have biten the your other hand for 6th at Christmas.

And would bite your am off for it now.

 

If Joe can't do it nobody can.

john sheridan can imo
