Just rang - they will be showing it at Liverpool Street . They didn't have any room in the downstairs bit that I could book , but it will be screened.

Other options here , not sure of accuracy .

I fancy Liverpool Street ( the street name is an omen! ) but happy to go elsewhere too.

I was just in the middle of sending a text around about this, then remembered this very forum. I'd be very up for the Liverpool Street place , can give them a shout and reserve the downstairs room?

Well there is a satellite van thingy outside BP now ( according to my Dad who's just walked past ) so there is some sort of filming going on . It says 'SIS Live' on the side http://www.sislive.tv/ .

Could well be just be for sky sports highlights perhaps?

Thanks for the report

I'm hoping to get a train from my end which gets to Gillingham at 1pm, has a nominated pub been decided????

Will be in the Livingstone Arms - see above. As the landlord asked us nicely . See you there. I'm heading down on that 1155 so should be there before one.

the Livingston arms is closed at the moment not sure when it will be reopened.

Apparently it's been reopened - the landlord posted on the OASIS section of this forum, so will be heading there. They'll be showing the Rugby too, if that's of any interest.

That was all the article Kieran

Sorry, it's a bit blurred in parts but just about readable.

Interesting read. I didn't know we had the worst disciplinary record in all the leagues last year.

Only just realised thanks to Mr Floyd that this was on the tellybox. Golden Lion ok for me.

This tickled me in the Mirror today http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/joe-kinnear-radio-interview-line-by-line-1960189

He also sounded half-cut in that interview.

Always reminds me of this.

Poddington peas ? :-) . Looked like a good day out. Nephew certainly enjoyed it. I shall make up for it next year.

Oldham 3 - Carlisle 1.

Baxter hat-trick.

Didn't Mark Radcliffe play drums with Skrewdriver?

I' m not into Madness - The sell outs of ska but the rest of them would do for me.

 

Still got a bone to pick with that Suggs for being a roadie for Skrewdriver.

Hi Lee, welcome to OAFC.

Evening chaps

 

Bristol City fan here. I am quite interested in this Lee Johnson story as he was a key part of our team from 06-12. Seems a real risk appointing him due to his age and current league position BUT Lee Johnson, IMO, as someone who has watched him as a part of our squad for a fair few years has a great deal of good credentials for management.

 

Obviously having a father who has been fairly successful as a manager helps, his uncle Pete is/was also a scout and Lee has been involved with the youth systems at Arsenal and Watford as well as playing for Hearts and Killie north of the border so is well travelled and has certainly has a few connections he's built up over the years.

 

Lee is also a bright boy - he owns a small property portfolio which he has built up and it's worth a fair bit now - he's not you're average footballer in terms of intelligence and that comes across in his interviews too.

 

He also is a real model pro. When things weren't going so well for us Lee was an easy target due to him being Gary's son (suggestions of nepotism etc) but during that time he gave nothing less than his all and carried on trying his hardest despite the undeserved critisism he was receiving for Gary's repeated selection of him when times were rough!

 

Lee has been involved in successful sides. With Yeovil I believe they won two promotions and a football league trophy. He's achieved promotion with Bristol City and also won Scottish cups with Hearts and Killie off the top of my head so knows what is needed for a successful side.

 

I appreciate this information may seem irrelevant in his potential managerial ability but I believe he has the credentials to be successful. If he gets the job I will keep an eye out for your results as he was a real credit to Bristol City during his time here.

 

Best of luck for the rest of the season.

Most certainly not looking forward to Dagenham. One of the bleakest places I've ever seen. Oxford, York and Bristol will all be top fun.

I still think we'll stay up though.

Bristol Rovers. Lived 30 minutes from the Memorial ground all my life (excluding the last year), drank at the pub opposite the ground nearly every week since I was 18 (and some before then), best mates are Gas heads and yet I've never been to there for a game before!

There will be an OASIS gathering in Mchales, an Irish bar on Lime Street from around half three, if anyone wants to join us there. Likely to join you you pre match at Spellows. Seems a good meeting spot for those arriving by coach too.

The rarely-nice Daily Mail says he was named after a Spaniard

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2268822/Former-Everton-youngster-Jose-Baxter-getting-career-track-Oldham.html

"Jose (named after a Spaniard who supplied the Baxter family shoe business with leather)"

That's the one -

Choice quote " Holy crap this place is lively - and it's only 11am!"

Shamrock on Lime St?

Irish bar that we were in pre-Liverpool last year was a good spot. Can't recall name though.

So what's the rendevous point?

From the Mirror

"Bar wars

Oldham are watching the pennies despite their money-spinning FA Cup run.

Journalists at Saturday evening's draw against Everton were given a voucher for a coffee and chocolate bar from the refreshment kiosk, which entitled them to a Double Decker - but strictly NOT a Mars Duo."

I'll definitely be going - going to jump on train for about six . Will he getting on at Finsbury Park and it's less than half an hour from there. Will find a suitable boozer. Anyone remember which one we met in last time?

It just means they have had two or three bets on Sammy Lee - It's such a small market that odds will change dramatically after a single bet.
