I got a pm to ring the guy, ref the same thing!! Interesting, i'll bell him tomorrow!! I exchanged a couple of messages with him, he seems a nice guy and very genuine, think he just reads the board and doesn't contribute!

Yeah and that annoying who kept shouting, 'Get it shagged'!!!!

There were around six of us walking up to the train station after the match and about 20 Hudds 'boys' on the other side, just about 400 yds before we got to the station they starting chanting something like, 'where are ya Failswoth' One of them, around 40 years old, strolled over to us and starting singing anti Oldham chants etc and knowing we were must be from Oldham starting baiting us!! I'd had enough so in true Bruce Lee mode, duly laid out all 20 or so of them single handedly Nah, we just casually ignored the knob and made our way to The Head Of Steam, opened the door, thought that when we realised it was full of meat heads and got the 5.30 train home Not sure I'll ever be the same again

Not sure I've seen mention of it but how :censored:in impressed was I with the metal we showed yesterday; never shirked a challenge, out-muscled a far bigger and more physical side and meted out a few sly ones to boot!!! Now add that to a team that have goals, speed, flair and can string a good half dozen or so passes together and you have..................well, a half decent side that's more than capable of staying in the mix. I say we vote with our feet, turn up Tuesday and cheer the boys on!! Sorry, this ain't really a petition and i can't get the software to post it on OMBC's website but it'll have the same effect!! KEEP THE OAFC IN OAFC

Well there ain't no more bleedin money to count so I'm sure someone's got time!!

He got sent home earlier in the week with mumps!!! Must have some wicked immune system

I think Taylor will be ok, we all know what a drama queen he is Don't think Rubes is banned yet is he Stephens has got mumps, he did catch it off Brooke so ain't sure what the crack is there, apparently Stephens face was a bit like that of a certain Elephant Man. Could be a few more knocks about, I know Lee was passed fit late yesterday morning after carrying a hamstring strain.

That's about as bang on as it can be, there's only a modicum of information that Barry might be able to enlighten us with that we don't already know; there is nothing he can tell us that the club don't want him to tell. Fire off your questions to a link on the trust site and let him put something together weekly, at the end of the day you're never going to get the answers to the questions that you know he can't answer. This in turn helps him keep face and stops all this baiting and mudslinging, I used to find it quite amusing then I just kinda lost all respect for Barry Owen The Director!! Now I just find the whole thing cringeworthy but hey that's my opinion, the greater majority are for the trust and it's director, that's your opinion and I respect that.

I seem to remember around 15,000 fans singing 'We love you Oldham and we'll support you ever more' around 17 or so years ago

Ssssshhhhhhh, don't give them any hope........the depressive element of our on-line crusaders i mean In the words of Denis Norden, "It'll be alright on the night"

Note to knobhead in the Chaddy who made this comment during the Southampton debacle: " off back to scum you useless :censored:" Think before you speak, or better still, shut the up in future Btw, he's been excellent just wish Rubes would start listening to him!!

Barry, A word of advice!! You cannot get drawn into stuff like this, you need to learn to distance yourself; right or wrong you assume a position within the club that demands an air of professionalism, this clearly isn't professional. I know you get baited but as they say, that comes with the territory; do yourself and everyone else a favour and stop posting and replying to posts on here. Do it through the official channels, club website or your trust forum like the other 'directors' do, that's professional!! I can't believe Hardy let's this thing happen!! No personal grudge here just a wtf everytime you get drawn into it!!!

I'll let it all out in support of the team today and help raise the roof off the South Stand at the Gayfarm!!! That's what I'm doing anyway

Don't quite know what to make of that Derek, we all deal with our emotions in very different ways. I lost my mother a couple of days before Xmas and attended her funeral on the day we got hammered 6-0 by Southampton, I was at the game!! Not because I'm an heartless bastard but because life goes on; I've fallen out with my mum on numerous occasions but I always made up with her, why...because she was my mum and I loved her! I've 'fallen out' with OAFC on numerous occasions but I'll always be there to support them, why....because it's my club and I love it!!! It's either in your blood or it's not; or maybe you're just a stubborn fecker

You missed the word 'more', i fixed it for ya

I can't argue with any of that, however a stay of execution doesn't mean you stay alive indefinitely! I'm as passionate as the next man, I won't however jump into a fight until I've weighed up my options and know who or what I'm fighting against and what I'm fighting for.

That was 'fiend' not friend i wrote, no spelling error I don't know you and quite frankly if you do know me, the advantage and pleasure are all yours

I'll bet it was Save your energies until you know where and when they're needed and can be effective, there's no point in running around like headless chickens and losing the plot until we have something concrete to plan a strategy for!!

Here we go again, real good effort my old fiend!! Kieran's contract's got jack :censored: to do with me, I'm sure he'll have earned whatever contract he gets for next season from whoever it is who offers him one. You see unlike you and me, the lad's a talented footballer and I don't think his immediate future's under any real threat. I do love it when you get angry for no reason

Quality retort Prozac!! I'd have exppected nothing less from your good self!! Now I would definitely vote you into power if you're thinking of replacing our trust director!!

That'd be Cardiff you're referring to, it was in 1999!! Now correct me if I'm wrong but the 'claims' of bankruptcy were unfounded and unless I'm mistaken there's still a local council in Cardiff!! Overspending, mismanagement or whatever happens, the government are the safety net. Now, let it go and let's move on hey

Fair point, however until we know what we're dealing with our collective resource ain't worth jack!

One step at a time Lags

You do that mate, everyone's waiting with baited breath as to what yer master plan is!! Me, I'm just waiting in anticipation for tomorrow's game and then Tuesday's and then Saturday's and so on!! Nothing in life is certain but a little bit of good advice is that if you can't affect something, don't let it affect you until you actually know the effects of whatever it is that you were affected by!!

They'd be favourable in 2nd Lags, still a long way to go and we've still got scope for significant improvement!! It's turning into a monster of a season in more ways than one, I'm hoping that tomorrow sees the birth of a real promotion push which in turn will go a long way to securing our short term future.
