He looks like he's carrying an injury. Should be subbed. That said, the defending is really poor. Totally off the pace. More holes that Rab C. Nesbitt's vest.

FFS! We just can't defend. Terrible.

piss poor defending...again!

Get in. Oh how i wish we could keep super mac.

audio but no video.

Walker doesn't look comfortable.

poor start and a very poor goal to give away.

Didn't he do a degree at Manchester Uni, along with Jack Whitehall (or have i dreamt that one up)?

Yes, almost, probably...What a waste of a great talent. Loved watching him and he was certainly capable of playing with flair and doing something a little bit different. I'd agree about Harkins as well.

Really sad to hear that. What a wonderful player and larger than life character. Didn't he have his own fashion boutique at one stage. King of the mavericks (along with Stan Bowles, and Duncan Mackenzie, and Tony Curry, and Alan Hudson... and Groves and Stainrod and...). Wow, the 1970s! I watched him at a few Friday night County games. He was class. Oozed flair. I see he is yet another player who has died in his early 70s after suffering from Alzheimers. It is quite disturbing.

Does anyone really still thing that January was a good business month for the club? Really? I didn't think so at the time and after a few weeks i'm certain it wasn't.

Maouche to Ross County

I'll bet he hasn't moved house, so, following recent logic, Swindon must be keen to get rid. It's a huge commute.

Well, not the initial solo bit. Whoever did that was usually hilarious. But certainly joining in the chant thereafter. It's why we're special and unique.

come one every one....appropriate given Saturday's opponents.

This league has a lot of managers i've never heard of, good luck to them, but....oh lord, we've got Scholes!!!! Wow! I mean, wow! Recognised by all who know anything about football as one the greatest players of his generation. Of course he might be a Terry Henry (or Bobby Charlton, he was really shit as a manager), but as it stands it's a fantastic coup. I mean, LORD, WE'VE GOT SCHOLES!!!! Any club outside the top two divisions, and many in those divisions, would love to have such a respected former player. He's proud, passionate, no nonsense, blunt and loves the game and the club (Andy Cole said last week that when he was at United, Scholes "always loved Oldham.") BTW - Paul Ince, you can shove your opinions up your arse. You started at Macclesfield, i believe, but you have a pop at Oldham for being too small for Scholes. Your problem is you're a bit thick and a very selfish individual who doesn't understand what it's like to actually support a club. No loyalty ever in your entire career. No wonder West Ham fans hate you. You're an idiot. What a weird club this is. More addictive than crack.

You're spot on. It really isn't in the least bit funny. I see too much of it. It's becoming an epidemic, especially for the under-25s generation. We can barely cope with the rising numbers. It is dibilitationg and incredibly sad for them and those around them. So called amusing comments from cretins underpinned the stigma around mental health for generations. Thankfully, it's starting to change, but it's a slow process and isn't helped by knobheads who feel they have a right to express themselves freely at the expense of one and all. Insensitive doesn't begin to cover it. Let's hope they, or members of their families, don't suffer from mental health problems. They wouldn't be able to cope. Well done David for speaking openly. Other players have started to do this in recent years. I really hope you get to the point where you can manage and enjoy life.

Bit of ageism creeping in there. It is a ridiculous suggestion but, sadly, he's 43 and probably better than the combined efforts of all our midfield players.

Is anyone in the RAC? Surely we can sort a recovery truck. He'll be on the hell that is the M6 for weeks.

This day in 1988. Good following, unbelievable day. What a performance. It screamed, 'we are here and we're really going places.' One of the best ever. Brilliant dynamic midfield at the heart of everything. Happy 30th anniversary to all who were there!

He's a promising talent, but he isn't our best player (Baxter is a much better footballer), and he has been a dick throughout his brief career. He wasn't even that good in the final third of the season. Infact, he was crap at times. Another one who didn't step up to the plate. Ideally, he'd grow up and stay, but as it stands i'd actually be relieved he just pissed off. This is becoming a pain. As Frankie said, the club has/is clearing the decks and is building anew. Quite right. If Byrne doesn't grow up fast, he'll never fulfil his potential.

Well i think that looks a decent team, apart from the right wing back. Cotterill could've filled that position nicely. I'm not sure about Coke (and i'd have Gardener in the middle). Anyway, apart for that, it looks like a good side (i wonder if you could put Lang upfront, drop Coke, put Baxter in a deeper/midfield position, and sign Cotterill). Yes, like i said, good team.

It appears he's come along way in just over six months. I hope so. time will tell. So far: getting rid of debts getting the HRMC sorted out getting the costs down so we become sustainable (weren't we losing £700k in L1, and now we have a drop of at least £200k, possibly more) introducing some basic discipline and getting rid of fat bully boys learning (hopefully) to not interfere on the coaching/playing side - he's made mistakes. Shock, horror. He's never run a club before and he's been faced with a club that everyone seems to think was utterly bizarre in the way it was managed. Yes, a couple of nice pr stunts plus bringing back a couple of very popular old boys and recognising the No.1 legend inthe club's history - nothing wrong with any of that. Actually showing some respect for the club. Now, it's all starting to seem sensible. I'll settle for this at the moment. We've had too much chaos for too long. Extra investment in the future can be spent on growth, not throwing it down a black hole.
