12.30 am, eh Mark? That's the way to make the most of St. Paddy's Day!

The header actually took a deflection off a defender, but who cares. He held his badge as he ran across the Chaddy, and then punched the corner flag. When he got back to the half-way line, he slapped himself twice on the forehead and then pushed his head forward illustrating what he had had done to score. For the second goal, he appeared to be marvelling at his good fortune as he ran across the Chaddy, but then he went well out of his way to seek out Warne, to thank him for laying on the goal with a great pass.

I think we'll scrape into 6th place and play Forest in the play-off semis. Surely we can't let them beat us in the one that matters, can we?

Adam Griffin v Grimsby on 'Celebration Sunday'.

There's a thread on JKLatics about the giant flag. Would you let them know what's happening please? See link. http://boards.rivals.net/default.asp?sid=9...456&style=2

Here are more comments published in the Advertiser on the revised plans for the redevelopment of Boundary Park: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You can oppose planning permission on the grounds of a reduction in natural light, but not because you may be ovelooked or lose a view. The Watcher, Saddleworth 12/02/2007 at 13:13 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- There is a solution to every problem Mrs Barber. I'm sure that all but those who are not objecting for the sake of it can appreciate the value of working with their hometown club as opposed to working to undermine it, as all too many have taken delight in doing in the past. Kill these plans and you likely kill the club. Few small clubs are going to survive as professional clubs the more that the money man tighten their grip on football. Latics are already at least ten years behind some similar-sized clubs in terms of facilities. The owners know that the only chance of long-term survival is to make the club self-financing. This stadium redevelopment is the only way to achieve that. Thistledown Fred, Royton 12/02/2007 at 12:49 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As a proud Roytonian myself I can understand Mrs.Barbers concern,too many changes in recent years in our part of the Borough,But I can not see modern style appartments being 6 storey,s high,the more modern developments tend to be no more than 3 storeys. As far as Parking problems,the club could introduce a park and ride scheme from other parts of the borough. As a lifelong Latics fan I would say without any doubts that the current board of Directors are the most open and approachable of modern times and it would be wise for Mrs Barber and her neighbours to query the club if they have any grey areas,rather than stoke up a battle based on hearsay through the local press,as happened with the Clayton Dog Toilet,sorry,Playing fields. This could be a make or break time for both Latics and the Rugby,if this project fails would the residents prefer to see the clubs stagnate,fade away and leave way for a housing estate the size of Thorp Farm or Royley? Open and honest Dialogue from day one should prevent another Watersheddings style disaster and give the town a stadium to be proud of. Ian McGeary, Royton 12/02/2007 at 01:24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Draw yer curtains Mrs Barber, the club is the town's ONLY asset nowadays. Ribtickler, Oldham 11/02/2007 at 13:17 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Outside your house of course ! Then you can something else to moan about ! oafc, here 11/02/2007 at 11:59 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Excellent Optional, as usual!

Make sure your der der derrrrs are correct by der der derrrring along to the video, ready to welcome Rocky and the League Leaders on Saturday. :thumb08: http://youtube.com/watch?v=ErLos-l2Xjk&amp...ted&search=

Have you ever wondered what England's Barmy Army do with all those empty plastic beer cups at the cricket test matches? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7jqwsbWEgSE

The best part of watching the Premier Greed on MOTD is Colin telling the match officials what he thinks about 'em when he feels his beloved Blades are on the wrong end of decisions. Like him or not, you've got to admit he's entertaining. In this video another ex-Latics' manager looks on bemused.

Just when there is a bit of a lull, following the postponement of Latics' match and the non-performance by England tonight, it's time to re-energise your excitement about footy. Who better to do that than our hero Diego Cervero. Here's a video celebrating the culmination of the season when he fulfilled his promise to get Real Oviedo promoted. :elvis: :drummer: :sombrero: :speakenglish: Boy does he know how to celebrate?

If the Reserves win their League, thanks to his goal at Blackpool, he's prepared to come over, subject to not clashing with his expected commitments to Lealtad in the play-offs. Apart from that, keep watching as there will be an announcement soon of interest to Diego's many fans. :elvis: :drummer: :sombrero:

You have my vote and good luck with the avalanche of late votes .

You might well have missed it maddog. You were too busy laughing at me. Keep 'em peeled! :rolleyes4: There's a lot of correcting to be done out there!

I said it was a daft question. I assumed it was a football, but I couldn't convince myself - bring back the black and white panelled balls. Anyway I'll vote for your banner, because I like the old photo in the rain and the view of BP. My vote is conditional on one thing though. As a member of the punctuation police, I must ask you to correct the wording by putting an apostrophe after the letter s in Fans. It should be Fans' as shown in Stevie_J's poster. I await your assurance on the correction.

Chaddymatt, It might seem a daft question, but what is that underneath the "Oh" and to the right of the old photo of fans in the rain?

'Rocky_Latic' said: "The most loved player to never kick a 1st team ball for us." Never have truer words been spoken! All those in agreement can celebrate their hero on 'Diego Day' at Brighton in April. :elvis: :drummer: :sombrero: :thumb08:

Buenas noches amigos. Hope to make contributions to the great debates, as I like to think I've done on JKL. Hasta luego. Diego
