...and innocent people go to ground when the police want to ask questions.

Has he "gone to Ground"?

As I said,somebody already said they have seen him out in public.

Might be a guilty as hell,but WE havnt a clue if he is or not have we?

up for sex offences and assault..

Remember,innocent until proven Guilty!

Thanks Guys,will pass your information on.

I think its The Guesthouse Rheinblick in Fulda, I will try to get you more info and website soon. The Lad In charge is called Steffan, Top lad!

Cheers for that,Its for a Guy I know who sells Pianos ( he is a Latics fan) and he was worried because when the Big Piano Fair is on all the big Hotels are ripping punters off!

My PC monitors x 3 are calibrated for white balance on CS4 and they look sky blue to me! Its that Noel Gallagher offloading some tat!

Remember this Guy very well from 70,s and 80,s away games.

I will try and out a link to this on Carl Spiers Facebook,if anybody might have seen him it would be Carl.

Carl thinks he has definately seen him in the Greaves over the last few weeks.

Please could somebody Please Post me the link for the hotel in Frankfurt where Oldham fans are treated like Royalty.

Perhaps Shez might want to keep him,Excellent defender,saw that after 5 minutes into his dubut and another world class clearance tonight.

Would have loved to seen the new stadium but made redundant last friday,out of work for the first time in 32 years,and that was only for 3 days.

Sky TV with a beer and a Kebab!

Neil Lennon...

Danny McGrain.

Go to Santa Ponsa in Majorca where there is a large area full of Irish Bars, Full of Sunburnt Ginggers with Celtic Shirts on!

For you Guys who have voted 2000 onwards my hat goes off to you,fair enough 2 play offs in that time,Eyrsie,Shez (The Player),Stretch,Hughsie and SuperClyde but hell of a lot of downers in this period!

Proper Fans who will put their money where their mouth is,I salute you all!

I've gone for the 1950s - an age before I discovered cynicism.

 

As a kid growing up within crowd-hearing distance of BP, it was a magical time. There were no replica kits, so you showed your colours in the form of a knitted scarf and a rosette, or even a wooden rattle if you were really well-off. The double layers of the scarf enabled one part to be pushed up inside the other part to be worn as a hat, with the scarf end trailing down the back of your neck.

 

With my playmates I would go through Westwood Park to the grassed area which is now B&Q, and watch the players training. When the players ran to Tandle Hill, we ran with them. We went to Reserve games at BP to be kept in touch with the latest score from where the first team was playing, by announcements over the PA system.

 

I used to cut out pictures of visiting players from Charles Buchan's Football Monthly magazine, and collect autographs outside the official entance. On returning home after matches, we used to relive the afternoon's events with a ball in Coldhust Junior Schcolyard, Stansfield Street.

 

When former England captain George Hardwick signed for Latics, it was the equivalent of Backham joining us instead of going to play in America.To see him at close-hand in training and getting his autograph was very exciting.

 

Travelling by coach with my Uncle and cousin to Port Vale on Easter Saturday 1953, for a crucial point towards ending the season as Champions of the Third Division North was great, and travelling by train in 1956 with my schoolmates to watch the lads play Accrington Stanley in the F.A. Cup was a real adventure.

 

The Club was already part of the family and we considered ourselves part of the Club. Although there have been inumerable changes since those times, that aspect of following Latics has never changed.

 

Very happy days!

Great Memories there Diego,albeit a few years before my time.

Must say,out of the lads I know who have followed Latics since the Seventies,A lot of them originate from the Westwood/Coldhurst/Northmoor and Busk area.Most of them have now moved down our end in Royton which,despite appearing to be full of Teletext Reds,is probably the main Latics Heartland now.

Yep loved the 70's mysef BP1960. Fryatt, Shaw, Groves, Mcvitie, Dowd, Wood, Whittle, Tony Bailey (the signing that made the difference and got us promoted) and many others

 

However, none of the good times from the 70's, and there were many, can match what we achieved in the period 89-93. It really was a Royle blue era for Oldham Athletic. The cup runs, Wembley, promotion, that Match against Sheefield Wednesday, the great escape. Match after match queues around BP. I doubt we will ever see the likes again during my lifetime. If we get even close, I will die a happy man.

 

So it's a sort of split decision for me eighties & nineties

 

Cheers,

Definately the 2 best eras, The 70,S have just edged it for me as it seemed more of an age of innocence and the Players didnt seem as much on a Pedestal in those days.

Remember Alan Young going in the Railway in Royton, Grovesey living above his Shop on Hollins Road,Steve Taylor living up high Crompton,all very modest stuff.

Also,never forget the Adrenalyn when going to certain away games where you knew there was no segregation and you had to survive on your wits,never picked as many accents up as quick in my life!

Perhaps I look back through Rose tinted Specs,then again Nostalgia aint what it used to be is it?

The 89-93 had its ugly side e.g. the Club turuning its back on some of its long time sponsors,Johnny come lateleys being guaranteed tickets,Smug Reds invading the grounnd and more.

This man speaketh the tooth!

 

It was about 3, maybe 4 seasons ago that I realised that I was taking it way too seriously. These days I still love Latics as much as I used to, maybe even more but am able to take the defeats, draws, bad performances quite easily. I've just about defrosted now and am about to tuck into my tea with the wife, she is going round to her sisters and I am going to spend the night playing games on my pc, maybe watch a bit of telly, got beers in the fridge and life is good.

 

Yay! We've got a game on Tuesday! Brr, will be another cold one but will make Tuesday at work fly by.

Think we will be very lucky to play on tuesday with the current Weather Forecast!

Hi, my first ever posting as a new member! I wish this particular debate had gone back to the 60s because then we would create the dilemma of including Colin Whitaker in this impressive list. Always a cert to beat the right back, a good cross assured and ace strikers like Bert Lister served on a plate. Ah, the memories. Incidentally Latics had a great right winger called Bob Ledger in those days so they were very well served. And the crowds...14,000 or so for a lowly and relatively unattractive fixture!

Remember Bob Ledger living on Dogford Road in Royton when I was at Infant School,his lad was a mate of mine.

Stephen Gleeson returned to Wolves after his third successful loan spell at Edgeley Park.

 

 

Their successful striker was sat on our bench. Their previous successful striker is sat in Derby's reserves after decent loan spells at Huddersfield and Blackpool. His replacement has hit the net twice all season and has a minor chest problem at the moment!

 

 

I've been screaming out for Alessandra to partner Hughes up front all season. But even I can drop the crusade when Windass is available.

 

Stockport are a decent side who have held their own in this division against all odds. Their teamwork at Edgeley Park was superb. Yesterday our workrate in the middle of the park (Whitaker and Allott were excellent, and Taylor playing a little deeper helped too). Good win.

I think the Phrase "Punching above their weight" applies here,they are in trouble financially and Gannon is doing a superb job on a shoestring.Dont want to sound like Noel Gallagher but a lot of their fans ARE City fans who see County as their second team-some of their fans yesterday didnt have a clue who their own players where!

The Centre halves looked very young and inexperienced,Windass saw this and milked it to our advantage.

I've never understood the logic of bringing on subs with 2 mins left. I'm sure they do it just cos it's what other teams do. Doing it at Sunday league just so they have to pay their subs is one thing but at pro level?

The idea is to waste time when you are well in front

Agreed...

 

Derek dosent seem happy unless he is sticking it to someone....

 

Windass and Hughes worked brilliantly today.... We really need both if we want to progress...

HALLE-F***IN-LEUILIA!!!!

I have a 8mm cine film of that game somewhere my dad was ill at the time and my grandad took a cine film from the Chaddy End. It looks awesome with the Rochdale Road end full got two of the goals as well.

Come on Mr.G, Get it copied onto DVD then shared with your OWTB Brethren!

Most of them aren't even the right way up

Why,should they be standing on their heads?

.....and with still roughly half an hour to go Julian Dicks smashed a thirty odd yarder against the crossbar.....which had it gone in, i remember fearing could have resulted in a total capitulation by us. Also remember the West Ham fans were vile that night on the way out. Dodgy place when you've just denied 'em a place at Wembley and you come out singin' yer 'eds off!!

Bad enough before the game,the Club Doctor had to stitch my head up after being glassed in the Boleyn arms.

lynskey have your laugh now I'm sure the whole of league one are with you.. Roll on Saturday and boy will you see a backlash I'm sure Gregan, Hughes, Windass and Allott can't wait for Stockport to turn up..

 

A very bad day yes but onle one game we are still in the playoffs and hopefully a wake up call to the team..

 

See you Saturday

Yeah,come along to BP my friend,we will even applaud you for bringing your first 4 figure following 15 minutes up the Motorway!
