Speaking of surreal moments..... I was in Lower Main Stand yesterday, and a Latics fan two rows in front of me was getting, let's say, extremely excited by some of Mr Dowd's refereeing decisions. At one point the fan ran down to the barrier and hurled abuse at Dowd, who told himto sit down and shut up!! In nearly 50 years of watching football I've never seen anything like it!!

Bob caolville I think.

the bon jovi chant was funny.my missus could,nt stop laughing.excellent atmosphere from latics fans.

i work with a huddersfield fan.him and a few thousand hudders only made it as far as stevenage because of the motorway delays.gutted for him.honest...

move with the times.

i was born in kent.my dad is west ham.the rest of my family are tottenham.i moved up north.started watching latics in 85.

In the early 90's there was an old football league book in Shaw Library and the team Oldham where paired with was Manchester City.

 

Would like Crawley away

Is anyone interested??? Please let me know asap as I am trying to get prices!

what time you thinking of setting off.could be 5 of us interested

Been having this conversation a couple of times recently...

 

as a latics fan (who shouldn't like either) who do you prefer out of the two manchester clubs?

 

i've been saying united because they tend to play the better football and i dont like how city have suddenly become a 'big club' because of the money but still play really boring italian football.

 

other fans i know though have been saying city though and by saying united, it's against latics...

 

so city or united?

hate city with a passion.

are you having a laugh???

Have you seen the league table????

Dickov has done an amazing job and brought some great players in. you have to remember we have played a hell of alot of games in january and febuary when really the games in hand shoul have been spread across march and april too. I would have taken the league position after last season so you're just talking out of your arse.

well said.who ever wants dickov out are total knobs.

Totally an over-reaction. Of course all Oldham fans think we should have won against the bottom side, but football is a funny owd game.

 

Look what happened in the prem, bottom side beat top side (not mentioning names )

 

One swallow doesn't make a summer, and 2 dropped points doesn't mean we are not going up......... yet.

it will be forgotten about when we stuff the inbreds from gayfarm on saturday

Too many chances hit straight at the keeper. Though to be fair it was hard to miss him and his goal celebration was worth the entrance fee alone.

 

One point is better than nothing at least. My maths is excellent.

the only time ive ever laughed when we've conceded a goal.

08/09 away was the flourecent yellow. The current tangerine/navy is in its second year.

 

Deal with Carbrini was signed in July 2008 so time for a new supplier maybe.

thought we had a deal with k swiss for next season.

Saddleworth when home, Preston at the moment...

ashton is home.living in scunthorpe now.will watch latics anywhere.

City dont care about us. end of.

i dont care about them.hate them in fact.dont want any citeh fans here.pricks every last one of them

I like "Naughty" the Stoke one. The fictional Tranny one was really good.

 

As for films, I.D. was brilliant as was the original Firm. The remake of the Firm though was an insult to the original. Absolutely terrible :-(

 

If anyone has a copy or if anyone knows Carl any chance you could ask him if he's got any left I can buy as I'd still like to get hold of one, even if a couple on here think its sh1t.

oldham get a good write up in stoke's n40 book.we are mentioned in most of the books i have read.

Did I hear right last year that some clubs include their season tickets bought / but not attended (on the day)which boosts the figures? Because I also seem to remember that Latics count the number of seats taken on the day wheras County report tickets sold (including none attending ST holders)?????

 

Also to be fair they played Shrewsbury......... 1 hour away who were going against their sacked manager of 2 months ago........... now if Latics were away agianst say... Crewe if Dave badPenney was in charge we would have a following there!

to be honest,i love my club,but i cant get excited about home games.give me away games anyday.better day out and fans who actually get behind the team from start to finish.

Why did supporters boo? Frustration? Disapointment? Boredom? Paying twenty quid to watch a nil-nil bore fest?

 

As quite rightly pointed out, the boos were very much in the minority to the applause at full time. From the Chaddy, the latics fans got behind the team pretty well with the first audible whinge not until late on in the game.

did'nt hear any boo's myself.we are unbeaten in a playoff spot.i'll take that anyday.these knobs who boo need to get a grip.

There are 4 others going with me from Lincoln.

i live in scunny now.cant wait for this one.my girlfriends little boy had the chance to be mascot 4 scunny.he's chose to sit in the oldham end with me.

looking forward to it myself.always a cracking atmosphere from the latics fans and now living in scunny cant wait for that one.hope we bring a few over.already having loads of banter with the locals.

Was spotted again on the ITV coverage. Top effort unlike our over paid, over hyped players. Take a bow Rob Green.

there was a shaw gawbies flag behind the goal

Yep that's him and he's from Midd. He doing summat for charity for the Hudds game I believe.

quality.we need more fans with the passion he's got.top bloke.

Aye, I remember too that rather than keep the Latics fans in the stand after the final whistle the police decided to let them out the stand, but keep them fenced in in the car park allowing us to be targeted by missiles from the locals. Great policing.

 

My other memory of that day was at half time, when a group of children from Chernobyl were brought onto the pitch, the PA announcer claiming that they were in Mansfield for two weeks on the 'trip of a lifetime'. Really hits you how bad the fall-out was from the disaster when a trip to Mansfield is the best thing that's going to happen to you...

i remember the locals all wearing denim jackets,huge weird looking blokes baying for our blood after the game.

I don't think it's funny. Would rather see the score the other way round. Wigan are our neighbours guys. What's wrong with you?.....

Wouldn't mind if Spurs did this to our red neighbours though........

come on you spurs.no oldham fan would ever want the plastic latics to ever win.

s h i t e.boring.a club definately not going forward.
