Millibob

I did go and it's got to be Palmer. His work rate plus passing ability enabled the team to play as a team rather than as 11 individuals. He has that football thing, right time, right place. Good to watch last night.

A fantastic post Ian - I hope all goes well for you with your move and in the future.

By the way - Who is going to fix the office computer when it's broken?

All the best Ian - Cheers Brian.

Who is Kenny?

Also assisted with CPR on an Everton fan a few years ago on a car park away from the ground, sadly the fan passed away, but hey well done Kenny, I will buy you a pint next time I see you, ( even though you still owe me one for my birthday. ).

Again well in Kenny and respect to the Chesterfield fans who stood and clapped as the chap was being taken out of the ground, that's what football should be about.

He's one of our own-Coleman

Eckythump-The Wilson twins-that gay blonde Burnley lad

Captain sideways

Managers bum boy-Bambi

The new loan lad from MK Franchise who is not one of our own (and never effing will be)

Little and Large (aka Fast & Lard)

 

Bench-other goalie, David Dull in a suit & 4 loanees plus Usain's mate who cant bend his knees

Now that's a proper chap who has been following our team selection and progress from DD's appointment

At least Mr Smoker has some idea, I hope he's been to the local bookmaker to have a tenner on the result tomorrow!!

(Captain sideways - I love it!!).

Well in lad. Hope to see you at new Saltergate.

Ah "Jumped The Shark"

I think this board just jumped the shark.

Thank you for that most informative post. I will see how many times I can get it into a conversation before the final whistle at Chesterfield. (I also have had to Google it to find out what the feck it referred to!!)

The answer is simple.

Let's have a player sent off for something and revert to the 2 - 7 formation we had in the last 10 minuets against Bradford!!

Signed : I did attend the play off final with Rochdale. It rained all day but what a day out! It would be great for some of our younger fans to have the chance to visit London: FA Cup Final Oldham v Rochdale would be ideal!!

Have you had a sex change?

Strange that but as a popular music band sings "some might say". But no I have not, Still got the "full set" and can be found at K93 in the Chaddy end - on no - The North Stand if you wish to check my credentials!!

It was either a Mr G Brown or a Mr A Blair actually......

 

Mr Cameron has put it up to £151 a week from £115 for you from next April.

Bollocks to that: I am 59 going on 60 Next April Harry I get jack :censored:. Its not next April it's April in SIX years time until I can put my card in the machine in the Post office and when they say "how much would you like" I can say ALL OF IT!!

Happy days

The rules should be the same throughout the full 92 clubs.

I am 60 later in the year (3 October) don't forger my cards, but my Bus Pass and State Pension don't arrive until I am 66 - someone (A Mr Cameron I think) has robbed me of a years pension and free travel to Rochdale & Bury & Wigan away!!

HOWEVER - At Brentford, they only had one turnstile open. I gave the nice man my money and he gave me change. The young whippersnapper thought I was as old as I look.

It's flat cap and OAP this season at away games - sod it!!

If you want loyalty buy a dog. If you want players to sacrifice their prospects of career income for the beneift of the club....get real.

I called my dog "Stay" . He really gets confused in Tangs when I throw his ball and shout "Fetch Stay"!!!

He's a bit hit and miss but quite like the idea of pace on both flanks and he has certainly got a goal in him.

He's got a good dive in him too. I remember him at Gillingham going down like a sack of spuds. Once the penalty had been given he came over and mocked the away fans - still I would have him at the right price!

Why is this game being played on a Monday night when most others are being played on a Sunday afternoon?

It's because the league know I have my tonsils plumbed into the J W Lees hand pump at my local on a Sunday afternoon and the crowd would be down!

Surely you know 3 pints is binge drinking!! .

Also I will now be able to attend Oakwell on Monday night and enjoy the 3 points back on the A635!! . (points, pints - who's counting?).

You need BATtering for posting that, just put me off my fish finger butties!!

I'm shuddering at just the mere thought of how this would play with the 2 fully fledged members of the 'Gerrit Forward!!!' brigade who sit behind me.

I assume you must sit near me. "Shoot" is all we hear, Poor old JCH if facing the wrong way, 5 defenders on his case, oh and he lost the ball 5 seconds ago!!!

 

Cheers Millibob. I must have caught them on a bad day - I suspect they'd just had a "children's party" and it smelled of children and burned onions. And there were food scraps everywhere (which might appeal to some). I always call in the Dog when I'm up, for the awesome beer and the flexible time-calling arrangements.

Hi Mr Tulse Hill

Next time you pay a visit to the Republic of Royton may I be the first person (the only one knowing most of the population) to offer to buy you a pint of the foaming nectar at the aforementioned establishment. (Yes they do admit ankle snappers but the profit margin on Crisps and Fruit Shoots is too good to miss!!)

Someone who lives in Oldham might be better at this but...

 

Uphill to the ground:

 

 

The Greyhound - decent food and some parking out front. Top class bitter.

 

The Dog and Partidge - God's own bitter but the pub has seen better days. Lots of parking and not too much further on your walk to the ground.

 

 

Downhill to the ground. Great nearby chippy.

 

 

The White Hart - Bog standard booze. (Selection of continental lagers brewed in by licence in in the UK). Heated area outside for tab monkeys. Some parking at the back.

 

The Old Grey Mare - Bog standard booze. (Selection of continental lagers brewed in by licence in in the UK). Some parking at the back.

 

 

They're all perfectly friendly places for away fans. Our hooligans aren't old enough for pubs and have no money anyway.

Hi Mr Tulse Hill

Just been in The Dog & Partridge, new landlady (of 8 months). J W Lees Bitter to have your tonsils plumbed into, and it's only £ 2/10s/00d a pint!! (£ 2.50 if you are under 50!!) And (never begin a sentence with and) they do sell those fancy lagers etc, no food but a beer garden and away and home fans welcome.

You and Mrs Sideburns look very well in that photograph, it's a great read.

You must have more holidays than Thomas Cook!!

Aw well back to reality - see you on Saturday!

Two more in the car. Up to Nando's chippy in Gretna Green first for one of their Scotch Pies and chips !!

 

 

What do you mean?

 

 

Are you trying to say something, come on spit it out!!

I listened to the football show on BBC Radio Manchester tonight (Charlie McDonald was a guest). The BBC were told that between 300 and 350 fans left the game at half time. Let's hope that they and the "missing" 3000 who were at Liverpool the other Sunday turn out Tuesday.

 

Should he continue playing Rooney ?

No! Lazy, Wins nothing in the air and can't turn with the ball.

Only a personal opinion, but I think I am correct!

2-1 to us

Well in Harry!

I have just been in my bookmakers to have a shilling on that self same result.

Oh! Was I correct in Danny Philliskirk first goal??

crisis (noun) turning point or decisive moment, time of acute danger or suspense.

I was at Crawley today. We did not have our best day, but, Lee and his team are young, they are still learning their trade.

I don't for one second think we have a Crisis, more of a problem keeping clean sheets and getting the ball in the onion bag.

This is a "work in progress", it will take time, lets get behind the manager and team and

You should have waited in the long line for service at The Bridge - The Old Mill Bitter was in fine fettle .

The "lady" selling the butties was a fine sight too!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
