That’s my memory playing tricks on me then. Oh well...

Whitaker was Wellens' replacement in 2008 - took the number 7 shirt too. He looked fairly decent his first few games but I think it was our best start as a team in years with Hughes on fire, anyway that lead to the comparison with Wellens which was ludicrous even at the time.

 

I think there was a post on the fisul site about the issue with iFollow on Saturday so I dropped them a line to which they have responded.

Genuinely one of the funniest things I've seen all day!

Please tell me this, someone. How does anyone know that AL is freezing Byrne out to save his wages? Has someone seen it in writing, perchance? And who (Lemsagam) would agree a long term contract with a player and then decide not to play him just to save the wage you've already agreed upon? Just doesn't add up.

 

And how about "he's only broken two club rules" I think someone said? How do you know? Have you been told by FB, AL or JB themselves? 

 

How do you know he's on £6k a week? Has anyone seen his contract? Or was it once suggested and it's now gone beyond folk lore? 

 

How do you know that Maouche is on £4k a week?  Same scenario as Byrne's wages which, by the way, we will still be paying, so that again kills the idea that he's frozen out to save the wage.

 

If anyone has concrete, confirmed, sighted proof of all this, fine. I'll accept it. If not, it's all pure speculation in my eyes. Let's just wait and see what happens. In the meantime, let's just get behind the club, the team, the staff and crack on with being supporters.

shit like that won't do on here these days pal - get your razors out you've more chance

He's probably training with the youth team until he apologises for whatever he's done, which is why the word foreseeable is being used.

the word being used on the official is "unforseeable" 

 

 

I wonder how many £millions has gone through the club over recent years? According to journalist David Conn, in The Independent in 2004, Chris Moore wrote off £4.4m and Blitz and Gazal initially spent £7m. Now AL has so far spent over £3m. 

 

The Independent   

 I'm guessing just over 14.4 million then :)

Hopefully Corney gets his comeuppance if he’s deliberately hidden stuff from the books. Fucking crook.

getting migraines from agreeing with you pal!

it's quite clear Corner kept a lot in the dark and all those companies who had clearly given up recently raised their heads and A L has paid up.

it's also telling that the landlords of the North stand refused point blank to have signage when TLH Auctioneers sponsored it but now under the new regime seem to be working together with the Joe Royle signage

That made me laugh. I really liked him here though. Thought the midfield he and Wellens operated in was our best in certainly the last 10-12 years, and that wasn’t just down to Wellens.

They never played together

Nice one-Buckshawlatic is a cereal offender you know.  

For some reason I can’t upvote you (must be a limit) - typing this very carefully as my thumbs are obviously too big for iphone’s keyboard and it’s dubious auto-correct.

Look... Apostrophe’s and everything

Real shame there were only 2000 there to see it.

 

Should have been done Saturday.

Except he wouldn’t have been there Saturday... he does scouting now doesn’t he for Wigan?

Crap again...keeps going off. Anyone else having problems?

Yep - their “support” tells me they cant do refunds as per “terms of service” despite the bell ends not meeting their own terms of service ie delivering a fit for purpose service

Clear to me from the main stand. 

May be just how it looks on TV (not a deliberate stay away just no car at moment )

Like the design but the letters should have been blue or at least a dark colour - you can barley see them

Your Redfearne has gone in the envelope with other misspellings of past legends.

Apologies - walking and texting and not actually supporting us at that point (unfortunately) Im still sure Sherrydan gave the pen away though

Im not sure even Darren Kelly got this much shit 2 games in

Envelope

Was he playing for Sheff Wed or has something gone way over my head there?

Don’t get carried away... we need to keep at least one stand for when someone drags us from the depths of non league right back to the Premier League where we do a Leicester and Joe is remembered as someone who “did ok”.

Cockroaches will inherit the Earth before this happens of course

Just hope he plans to re-name the Chadderton Road End to The John Sheridan End.

 

The man who joined us in 1998 and kept us up with kids. Then scored a penalty and again helped us stay up on one leg in 2003. Then took us to the play-offs in 2007 with a squad that has played the best football at this club since 1993. 

 

Then move onto when he came back in successive seasons and kept us up from nowhere. The bookies wrote us off, every club wrote us off, nine points adrift, but that man kept us up, not once, twice.

 

I still maintain the opinion had he not been shown the door last season we wouldn't be where we are today.

Didnt he also give away the penalty that Redfearne scored?

Does anyone know if this game will be available to watch on iFollow?

ok, point taken  I think Frank would like the opportunity to be able to select Byrne. 

 

I cant stand the Jack Byrne from January onwards or the one that seems to have been at every club before us.

yes i put a big value on attitude and we all want the best for Oldham Athletic - i can see as well as anyone we are crying out for that loan Jack Byrne - if he still exists or if Bunn can get it out of him get him in the team

if he exists and AL wont give him redemption then AL needs a mirror and a talking too

If hes still being a nob then my view is talent or not he needs to go. As Fergie decided with the likes of Beckham and Stam

hope that gives a more balanced view of my thoughts

The fan in question has always posted factual matter, stop being argumentative for the sake of it .

Im not being argumentative - Frankie hasnt openly admitted untill he says so and yes Lee is very very reliable but even he has been wrong in the past (rarely I admit)

You can't make a silk purse out of a Sow's ear, so we all ( rightly ) fully expect to get thrashed by Derby.

Frankie has openly admitted he would like to have Byrne available for selection! Byrne wants to play!  wants rid of Byrne.

Bunn should be resting JBB and demanding that  allows Byrne to feature , this situation gets crazier by the minute.

Where exactky has Frankie “openly” admitted this? Telling a fan who reports it on here is neither open nor confirmed

And there was me thinking it was due to a lack of rain? . 

Lighten up! Im taking the piss!!! Surely even those of us who disagree more than the Titanic and an iceberg can melt and have a light hearted moment at times. Ok if he told me the Earth was round id give NASA a ring to check?

btw no rain round here for weeks either - still a fair bit of green grass
