I can’t believe after all this, Harry didn’t sit in his seat on Saturday. He sat in mine. The shit.

Those squads were miles better than this tripe we’ve got now. They had Sheridan, Eyres, Carrs, Dux... They are a million times better than anything we’ve got now (maybe except Clarke)

I was never really properly in the know, I just wanted to join in with the ITK lads

No, I wish I had! He did say he wants to play but “it’s not me, it’s the club, they’ve f****d me.” Said hes training with the youth team, so I asked about Gerrard. That’s when he said they’d sacked him. That shocked me a bit so I asked “sacked him?” He said yeah, sacked him last night via email...you could hear the disgust in his voice when he said “via email”. If true, that’s pretty out of order I think. Asked him if he had anything lined up/any interest from other clubs and he said no. I did think he might have been making the Gerrard thing up to see how quickly it went on Twitter/on here!

Byrne was leaving as I’d just picked my ST up. Spoke to him and asked if he’d be playing again soon and he told me basically the same as what Jason Dunford’s tweet says. Said he’s training with the youth team. Asked him if Gerrard was training with the youth team too and he said no, cos they sacked Gerrard last night. Can’t see that last bit being true cos you can’t just sack football players, but I guess we will see.

I couldn't really care less what other clubs think of them, and was only talking about our supporters. You called them bitter. They've every right to be pissed off with players who were a big part of the reason we got relegated from a division that we've stayed up in with far less talented teams.

I don't get your point. Are you saying they weren't part of a team that got us relegated? Because they definitely were. And therefore, I don't see why many of our fans would have a good word to say about them.

All players in a team that managed to get us relegated out of a division we'd been in for 20+ years. I'd be surprised if many (if any) had a good word for them.

I’ve bought a 10 litre box off them a couple of times, they’re great. £30 for 18 pints... you can’t go wrong!

They should get up to Greenfield brewery and get a load ordered. They do some lovely beers there, and it would be helping out a local business. Win win.

I'd imagine that no one has paid full whack, and they've realised they won't sell any for a division lower at £420

Teams need a grafter and ball winner in midfield. But they done need a Fane. He can’t kick a football. They need someone who grafts, wins the ball, and then can actually pass it or maybe even shoot when the opportunity arises.

I don’t know anyone who has ever said an opinion that they agree with is utter bollocks. Seriously, you only say it about opinions you disagree with.

Generally, when someone doesn’t agree with an opinion is when they’d call it utter bollocks.

The bit in bold is out main problem. Gardner is usually alright on the ball, but cant get stuck in. Fane is decent at getting stuck in and breaking up play, but he literally struggles with kicking the ball. We have 2 players playing in central midfield doing the job of one half decent holding midfield player. If we had a semi decent holding midfielder we could play Byrne in the middle, and then pick an actual right sided midfield player who would give the team some balance and width, and might actually give the right back some protection.

Same problem. Emailed the club to ask them to fix the problem and was told to ring them to renew, so I don't think it will be getting fixed.

I hope they win and have to fit another game in. I hope they are absolutely worn out by the time we play them.

Anderson and Broad bowled quite well in the first innings. Gave hardly anything away, took combined figures of 5-99. They don't have express pace, so thats how they've got to bowl over there. They just weren't backed up at all by the other bowlers. Could have also been helped if the batsmen had converted 250-4 into a lot more than 300. Need big scores to bowl at in Aus, especially if you dont have bowlers who can bowl 90+mph.

I remember someone telling me that they have bought it, but are now waiting to see how these other papers go to see if its worth printing again.

Rotherham 1 Latics 2 HT 1-1 Davies 8000

We are much worse than the team who had just come down from the division above. And miles further back as a club.
