A minute's silence is to be held before every game in what used to be the Conference this weekend, and it started with an impeccably observed period before Barrow vs Oxford live on Setanta. A nice touch I thought. Might be worth going round some forums tonight/tomorrow morning to let fans know the kind of guy they'll be paying tribute to. LINK

They also lost to Workington Reds in their last friendly.

74/75 results Oldham 2-1 Sheff Wed, ThaiLatic. =)

It's funny, but we've seen some interesting things happen in this competition. BP's only(?) ever floodlight failure Vernon's dream debut Eyres from the halfway line Kilkenny going past every player on the pitch, then passing it to Croft. Incredible. A few penalty wins, and our only ever penalty defeat. Brian Talbot getting taken out. Darren Sheridan's most ridiculously obvious red card ever. Rob Lee.

To be fair, the Stockport fan then says he's just taking the mick.

That was a complete fabrication, as revealed in Lee's press conference when he joined the club. He'd never heard anything about it.

www.oddschecker.com is brilliant for checking all the bookies against each other at-a-glance. You can find the Top Goalscorer betting HERE.

I agree that people need to chillax a little! =)

It goes on to say: "Manager John Sheridan wants more for the player, but the club's owners are believed to want the money to balance the books."

You can't write off a player like that for a performance in a friendly, especially when you haven't seen how the goals were scored. We might have used 2 keepers tonight too.

This is all complete specualtion guys.

So the cup match is cheaper? How stupid!

£10 (£5 conc)

Wolfenden is the second youngest Oldham player ever, as he played on November 15 2003, aged 16 years and 115 days Stam made his debut February 19 2005.

Seems a top man to me, the kind of guy who'd be great to have a few drinks with.

Looks like a little bit of thought was put into the shirts, dark blue with red trim, like the Bovis shirts of the early 90s.

To be fair, if he didn't know about Ernie you can't blame him really.

Just watched the recording on TV, brilliant stuff, never heard owt like it in the Masters. The commentators kept mentioning the Oldham support, and kept pointing the camera at you lot. They had a good chuckle at those Blackburn fans sat in the middle of you all too! As far as the football itself goes, well the result didn't matter much in the end did it, it was just good to see them play as well as they did, and Tommy Wright and Mike Milligan scored a beauty each didn't they! Stitch made sure to mention the fans too, as you'd expect, as well as regretting not training for it as much as he could. Tonight showed why our former players speak so highly of Latics, and indeed choose to play for our Masters rather than any of the other sides. Top stuff. One thing's for sure, Oldham will be the first team chosen to be in it next year after that, pat yourselves on the back everyone!

Exactly the same kit, just some other company's logo on the front

John Sheridan was semi-retired in 02/03 wasn't he? Don't remember him playing much, and then a remember a big deal being made of him "coming out of retirement" in 03/04 in our hour of need.

Michael Ricketts is igning for Walsall tomorrow! =D Makes you glad we've signed who we have this summer doesn't it?

Errr... Stoke are in the Prem!

With all our central midfielders, Lee at left back would make sense.

Haha, that'd be me.
