Lags

Hoping to get down to BP today....seems ages since I've been home for a match.

The recruitment under DU truly was shocking and cost the Rothwell's plenty given we've require another round of signings to compete. No surprise the big money boy's are staying put, unfortunately that's their right.

Yes, reminds of of Sutton now, who could eventually play just as high.

No he won't.

Norwood slammed that in.... what's Fondop on?

Sounds like Conlon is best used further forward more as a 10 after listening to the Vale fan on the Phone in.

 

Assuming we will stick with a midfield 3, sounds more like a Sheron replacement and McGahey to stay in the holding role. In which case, we need another CDM to play that role. 
 

Unless Mellon wants to use him in the holding role, which might help his injuries ? 

Until such times we have a decent midfield, I'd rather have Sheron in the holding role and drop McGahey. OK, so we lose the one tackle a game from McGahey for a bit more mobility from Sheron.

The subject matter of this thread

Ahh right....I wasn't referring to Barry Owen. He as far as I know always had access to this MB.

But the individual involved have the right of reply didn't he?  Trouble was that every time he used it his size 12 went further down his own throat.  A little knowledge and all that.

Who are you talking about Dave?

They also probably got removed because they violated the terms and conditions of a private company. 

Not always, it's a case of shutting up other views or abuse of power.

If you are using freedom of speech to defend a position on an arguement rather than reason it's a sign your losing the arguement.

 

If you look at the actual people who get "cancelled" on social media people like Donald Trump, Alex Jones, Katie Hopkins they are usually an extreme minority who take a point of view way past reason, logic, facts, and the truth. Not sure those people contribute much in terms of the quality to a debate.

I was defending myself in the post. However as much as I detest Donald Trump and a few others taking away their ability to be seen for what they are, whilst weeding out like minded cretins due to following them, we are in a worst place. They then breed underground.

It's amazing the amount of people openly complaining on social media about being cancelled I'm sure I wouldn't be able to hear or read about them if that was the case.

Or others not cancelled speaking out in defence of those who are without the right to reply. Been there and got the badge.

okay okay… why do a large proportion of people these days think people they don’t agree with should have no voice whatsoever 

Intolerance 

Was it just me that never really looked into the National League whilst Latics were in the EFL? and hence know very little about the likes of Tshimanga.

Had to look this lad up and his stats. Doesn't seem all that,  that said I know nowt about him. 

Read the entire thread, Of course everyone is right with their 'entrenched can't see the others views' but in reality they can!!. Happy with 3 points and new play off place, but we were shit 2nd half.

That covers it.

It's a win,  but christ never in it 2nd half

Green is the colour 

Still have mine, but the sponsor is Bovis. Glasgow Celtic had one remarkably similar.

I believe a guy from an Australian team passed away yesterday. It's not surprising it's a tough task. 

Full backs love scoring against us

Game over

Is the Swindon manager Mike Flynn the former Latics player from the late 1980s?

He's this week signed a new contract...I hope the ink is dry

At just 1 nil...we are still in it. We need to up the performance

442 including Nuttall.  Will he take this chance?

I had forgotten about Raglan…

Who?

In the old days we could always console ourselves we were robbed without VTR evidence to dispel it, which was great. Now we just get evidence the decision is open to subjective decisions.......so what was better?

I see City's Matty Warhurst, from Stalybridge, is in the England U-17 squad.  Anyone know if he's related to Paul?

No relation at all, I was his Dad's best man. Matts older brother was also a good footballer. Matty was at oldham prior to joining City. I believe we got a drop for his development.
