  1. NOOOOOO! it should be Reuben, Reuben , Reuben Reuben . oh oh oh oh oh Also what about He's Big he's Blue, He's harder than Kung Fu Sean gregan....
  2. I thought he had a really ggod game and reffed it really sensibly but both your points are spot on. I saw he had reffed the Luton game and thought oh bloody hell, and it was an easy game to ref today because it wasn't that physical and the result was decided very early on,but he did get most of the decisions right. I thought he handled the players well also. There were a couple of occasions when the more gobby of the participants - Gregan and Hayles could have been booked but seemed to get a 'look don't be a prat ' chat and were let off. Also I didn't see the possible pens, what were they?
  3. Seems he's not the only deluded one. I work in Leeds (it's been a cracking day, someone even set his car on fire on the M62 this morning, no doubt trying to delay my arrival here) and have just been out for the Yorkshire Evening Post. According to McAllister it was a 'freak result'!! http://www.yorkshireeveningpost.co.uk/leed...t-to.4399837.jp
  4. Sorry if I'm being slow but it has just dawned on me that Lidds came on with one minute left to take the last pen and didn't get a kick!!
  5. yes stopping for 3 nights to have a look at some stuff on the fringe but nothing planned yet. Just getting the thermals and Sou'westers out.
  6. Whats the weather like in Edinburgh pdw, as i'm coming up tomorrow?
  7. hope this may be considered as fact. Just spoken to the lass in the Dale ticket office and she says it's only drizzle there (must be because it's not in the North West) and she has spoken to the groundsman when she got in this morning and he said it is draining well and there is to be no inspection.
  8. I must admit I do love the chants/songs that are original/unique. therfore 'no one likes us' was brill today, and I also like Delilah and Annies song by Sheff U, Goodnight Irene, Marching altogether,etc. the problem is you are more likely to hear them when you are behind. I want us to have somehing that noone else sings /owns, once upon a time we had a version of 'We're the Latics from lancashire ' which i thought was v. good. That would be impressive.
  9. thanks for posting that TD much appreciated, I had a short discussion with the wife tonight about buying Latics World and, lets say Brian Barwicks 'respect' regs may have been breached. The free kick looks better every time I see it !
  10. I grew up thinking it was Seldom Early Late Never Even Comes!
  11. glad you got home safe and I agree with your comments about the game . I thought it was a bit of daylight robbery to be honest. Thought you panicked after the sending off, bad error from KJ to keep two up front and our subs changed the game. I think your comments on hughes are a bit' take the moral high ground' but not unusual on here from both home or away fans. None of us is aware of what errors we may commit in the future and what their consequence may be. Got to say well done for the response to Ernie's applause and thanks Good luck for the rest of the season.
  12. I think this is a point that seems to have been ignored on many of the threads tonight. Millwall panciked when the man got sent off and Jackett dropped a cod by leaving 2 men up front and giving us more space in midfield which Whittaker and Taylor exploited to the full. However, whereas before Allot and Maher played side by side 30 yards adrift of the forwards and passed the ball sideways to each other and the back 4, Whittaker took the ball forward making their back 4 come out. Hughes came deeper to receive the ball causing the same effect and basically it all fell into place, great finshing and a brill free kick. Absolutely fantastic comeback and result but lets not forget we were 2nd best by a distance for 60+ minutes. Will be a different side on Tuesday me thinks.
  13. I thought the drum sounded really good today and beforehand i was a bit apprehensive about it. The atmosphere was really good, obviously miles louder than the lookers, I've lost my voice and my youngest has been going round all night singing'Sit daahn shaaht ap!
  14. Sorry Singe the problem was obviously with my lack of brain power. Is the only telegraph league thier Oldham fans one then?
  15. Never seen a better worked free kick ever.and will never seen a better worked, better timed free kiick ever in the future.
  16. I heard someone in the RRE having a word with a steward after the game as they weren't happy with their seats and the steward said they could change and just ask at the office. It was my first time in the RRE after years of the Lookers and I was quite happy. dead good view and the atmosphere was really positive. I still would prefer a side on view but expect to be quite happy where I am until the new stand is built. Could feel a bit of rain occasionally even though we were 2/3 of the way back so if we get a blowy one come November it might get a bit bleak!
  17. Very well done to you both, that's a tremendous effort. One problem You do realise that you are now the lucky charm and will have to go through exactly the same preparation before every home game don't you?
  18. I thought the applause beforehand was very moving and gave me a shiver up my spine.All the singing that went with it was fantastic. As I was in the RRE RHS I couldn't see the Millwall fans but they seemed to onserve it well, did they join in?
  19. Singe Don't know if there's a problem with it as i've tried to Join both yours and Stevie J's and it tells me 'that superleague is not recognised'? Are the codes right? Any ideas?
  20. Sorry I'll try to keep up!! I agree with you really. I do think silence is more dignified and applause 'so Italian!' I suppose my view is that applause should be more about celebrating a life well run whereas silence is more about tragedy and life cut short which is what this is. Not everybody would agree with me on this though. Think I might be writing rubbish now so I'll go to bed. Thanks Ernie, our time of need and you were there.
  21. you might be ahead of me on this but I thought the Latics game tomorrow was applause not silence.
  22. Yes it is and it says a lot that it's happening in the 'non league' and that nobody on the governing bodies in either of the 2 Football Leagues he played in has thought of it
  23. that's not bias, sounds like my normal objective reaction to every game. See comments on previous thread about Mark (spit) Clattenburg.
