Pine Villains

You win.

Thankyou. In your opinion. Why do you let it bother you so. Just for you it's Sean McCarthy next, then Jigsaw.

So, after not having the same opinions as everybody else, at the same time, we thought we'd try a :censored:. Sorry, a banker. Those of you of a nervous disposition, look away now and find something else to do. Name: Warren Feeney Position: *ppffft* Bio: Signed for Latics on the 1st August 2010, he went on to feature in no less than 24 appearances for the club, and netting once. A year later he was with Plymouth Argyle, languishing at the wrong end of the fourth division and giving it large on social networks. So it's up to you, that's you not us, to put this guy away. Do it now.

Ha! That's good, anyone got anymore?

We're sorry you don't like our little game Monty, and that our opinions differ. Wait. That was kind of our point. No matter. Can we suggest that you look the other way when we post up Tony Carss* next week as your blood will boil with rage? We shall crack on regardless! Minus Monty, clearly. *The Tony Carrs thing is sarcasm, just in case.

Oh Monty, Monty, Monty. Wouldn't it be such a dull world if we all had the same opinions? Wouldn't it? Yes it would, Monty. Yes. It. Would. FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME! We're not here to put the players in or keep them out, you lot are. We throw a few definates in, some borderlines and maybe the odd few that just rekindle the views and opinions of messageboard wars long since gone. We knew there was a massive split on Davies, and we thought it would be a good thing to revisit this one so here he is. If we kept putting up names like Facey and Penney and the like it would get a bit samey real quick.

Facey went for the long walk, as expected but will our next controversial sacrifice? Name: Craig Davies Postion: Forward Bio: Brought in from Hellas Verona (via a loan at Wolves) on the 27th June 2007 for a "nominal fee", Davies made his debut against Swansea City and fooled everybody by scoring the winner. He played 54 times for Oldham netting 13 times in all competitions. After a loan spell at Stockport, he left for Brighton on the 1st November 2008. Correction due to an anorak pointing out that we didn't get anywhere near the true value of Davies' poor return per game. EDIT #2: I'm not changing it again you bunch of :censored:ing tosspots

We've hit a bit of barren spell recently in our quest to fill the stables down the sanctuary, we think we might be back in business. This next player has had more clubs than the Bellagio, and as never really proved his worth at any of them, yet managers still offer him jobs. We offer, for your consideration: Delroy Facey. Delroy joined Ronnies Oldham for free on the 24th March 2005 where he successfully managed to pass himself off as a footballer for about 10 games. He scored no goals. He left in the August of the same year bound for Tranmere Rovers, for nothing.

Next week we'll be taking the piss out of sheffield.

Gasp. Diego will be most upset. Ah well shefflatic has spoken Admins, she clearly is a woman not to be trifled with. Change it back please.

Yeah, you've really got to visit Burton to appreciate that. Well spotted.

It's a celebration of the capital of nowhere! - and to mark the occaision we've made some tee shirts: The front:- The back :- Only available in extra small.

Burton has more paedophiles per square mile than any other English town. Source:Wikiballs

The sort of point of it is this:- Ultimately we don't decide who is the donkey, you do that. MARSTONS! It doesn't matter which player we pick either, some may be a cut-and-dried ass, few may be a bit questionable, others might be requested by the fans; the point is to stimulate a bit of nostalgic chat about them. Which is nice. Paddy Considine in nice.

Oswald Mosley leader of the British Union of Fascists was born in Burton.

HOW MUCH?! The Donkey Sanctuary continues... Matthew joined Oldham from Norwich City (where he previously had a severe knee injury) on 27th March 1997 for £165,000 *choke*. He stayed at BP until a cruciate ligament injury forced him out of the game in April 1998 and left Latics around the 15th September 1998. During his stay he played 25 games and scored 3 times.

Burton is served by Burton-on-Trent railway station.

Although fans would be forgiven for not recognising Applebly even if he hit them on the bonce, Appleby was saved from the Sanctuary of Shame. There was some vitriol, but hey this is a football forum. As Jay-Z would say, onto the next one:- Shaun Garnett. Garnett joined Oldham on 19th September 1996 for £150,000 (soccerbase) and made over 179 appearances for the club (playing for Latics more than any other club in his career), netting 9 times. He left to join Halifax Town officially on the 9th September 2002 on a free.

@DaveFOldham

well seeing as though no bugger else will reply, we'll be your friend.

This little cock doesn't help: Blogged last week: Football moron of the week: Gary Neville | Pine Villains http://bit.ly/qyLmPI

I bet Arthur Treacher played happy :censored: when that lot turned up with their boots on and carved up his oilcloth.

Ronnie went in eventually and it was bloody close over the weekend, probably goes to show how fans were and still are split over his capability. Meh. Here's another prospective oaf for your consideration: Matty Appelby. We're building quite a portfolio of footballing mistakes over at PV's Donkey Sanctuary, go and have a look. http://wp.me/1NXi3 Appleby joined Latics from Baaaarnsley for nothing on the 16th February 2002 after a months loans spell at BP and offically "served" until 10th March 2005 when he beggared off to Darlington on a free. He made 46 appearances for Oldham and scored 2 goals. In. Three. :censored:ing. Years.

Unsurprisingly Starbuck made it in to the Donkey Sanctuary, PV's Hall of Footballing Arses. You've had it easy over the last month, let's crank up the controversy and offer number two in our Donkey Manager series: Ronnie Moore. Ronnie Moore was born on the 29th January 1953, he made over 300 appearances for the Dippers over two stints, and was one even one of the players who played in the NASL. He turned to management as caretaker at Tranmere in 1987 whilst still playing for them. After managing Southport and Rotherham, he linked up with Oldham Athletic in March 2005 and lasted until June 1st 2006. He was in charge at Boundary park for 65 games, winning 23, drawing 18 and losing 24. Some say he brought nothing fresh to the club, others argue that given time he could have made it work. Unofficially his management style became the excuse for fans to revolt on the terraces and forced Corney to sack him...
