Watch your step Joker otherwise your in line for an arse-kicking Don't worry we're family.

Only pointing out the obvious.

shez has said that he may be forced to sign youth players who may cost less but are not his first choice. OK, maybe desperate is the wrong word but certainly not ideal--which is a shame.

Cheers buddy, I think with your terrifc away following for the game, our terrbile home form and depleted squad you have a great chance of progressing--and that is coming from an oldham fan. Hopefully, thought our team will show up tomorrow and we will sneak a win. best of luck

I think if we don't hear anything within the next 2 or 3 days, then expect a spate of 2nd choice non-league/division 2 desperation signings on the very last day. My concern isn't that we won't get anybody in. I more worried about the quality of the signings

All about money, greedy so and sos. Who in their right mind is going to pay for sub-standard on-line paper!!!!

£750, 000? 1 million pounds? Come on chaps do you really think he is worth that much? Put side club captain welsh international nonsense, how much would you really pay for him? I suggest £300000 tops, or £200000 plus a player would be far more realistic at the this stage in his career. Hope I am wrong of course and some muggins pays huge amount of money for him.

1500 hundread left now according to the fishal site.

Well tbh beggers can't be choosers. Who else would come to oldham at the moment who is better thn vernon?

To be honest JJ is looing pretty spectacular this season, think he has finally turned the corner.

Maybe, but in post Gillingham interview with shez he said we will definately get bodies in (2 or 3) but they may not be his first choice. Doesn't sound to good to be honest.

didn't mis-understand your quote from shez. My reply has nothing to do with you personally--sorry if it came acroos that way. I just happen to agree with what shez was saying in a more diplomatic fashion.

Well tbh that is because he has a point. The constant moaning and whinging contributes towards the poor home performances.

no problem mate. I actually agree with you for the most part but can understand the other side of the coin too. I do not understand, however, people who go there and moan all throught the game.

No I did not have the opprtunity to be a professional footballer because no matter how hard I trained because I simply would not have been good enough. That means it was never an opportunity in the first place.

Can't believe you compared somebody performance at work who works 40+a week: to a footballer who playes 90 min, 180 mins tops, of competitive football per week. Right so we can't expect 180mins per week from a player giving 110%???? I don't care if they don't have the skill but all of I ask of them is to gve their best effort for such a short time--no excuses IMO. To be honest I think your comment is a slap in the face to every hardworking person out their!!

Rick, In my first post I said I always got behind the team but I guess you choose to ignore that. Anyway, lets just say I understand why the fans get frustrated.

read your post more carefully. I don't think it achieves anything to be honest but that is the nature of the beast for some people--voicing there concerns about what they consider to be an unacceptable performance. Like I said I think this ok as long as you get behind the team when they show something good on the pitch. Some people choose not to be blindly optimistic, and quite frankly it is dammed hard work to show entusiasm for something that is piss poor.

I think moan is the wrong word but basically if I see that a player is not giving 110% then I will let them know, especially when you consider that most of us woud love to be out there playing. On the other hand I will always get behind the team if they gives me something to be excited about.

no not really. The general consensous between 'alot' of fans was he has scored 20+ goals in less than season but he is slow and not really worth fighting for to keep on as a player (fans view). I couldn't believe it at the times, our first 20+ goalscorer since god knows how long and the majority of fans weren't bothered if he left. Utterly gobsmacked!!!

Rick, You miss-understand me mate, seems like you are very selective with your quotes. Firstly, yes I will have a moan at the players who do not give 110%, considering most of us would give our right arm to be in their position as professional footballers--the least they can do is give it their all. However, I desperatly want oldham to be successful and I am one of few, like yourself, in the upper-lookers who'll get up chant and generally get behind the team when they do good things on the pitch. Do me the favour of quoting the whole of my message next time instead being selective in order to suit your agenda. cheers.

Think a Porter type player is just what we need right now? Or do the majority still think it was the right thing to do to get rid of him? I for one would have loved him to stay.

I don't mind the moaning at players for not giving 110%, if it is of course mixed in with some encouragement. I mean moaning all the time isn't much fun for anybody.

Not against the idea, as long as they follow the rules. Jut wondering why really!

Why have you signed up for site for Oldham fans? Just curious, is oldham your second team or something?
