Who do we bring in? For me it has to be an old school manager who will draw that line, a disciplinarian who is not afraid to rock the boat - for me it has to be Peter Reid, however I think we'll limp along until Donny knock us out of the FA Cup I can't believe people were clapping that brainless :censored: off the pitch yesterday more reasons why we'll forever be mediocre

So if we start booing we will eventully become world beaters? I thought we were where we are because of poor crowds, bad management both past and present, no income other than said poor crowds, lack of real money to spend on squad, the three stands and many other things. Oldham is a club with 3500 season ticket holders, a town on it's arse and a club that's following suit which is usually the case.

But if it we're poor because a fans clap the players off the pitch, then we should be able to put it right soon seeing as some are already starting to boo.

Everyone says look at the starting 11 and it proves we have a good budget, we have 3 players I would consider too good for League 1. Baxter, Derbyshire and Croft two loans and two on short term deals, the rest of the squad is made up of average League 2 players to good League 1 players. Look at the bench today, with a bigger budget the squad would be Baxter, Derbyshire and Croft's level of quality.

I had the very same thought a few months back, would be a great way to honour Latics who've passed away as well as providing us the chance to be part of the stadium. The step idea is a great one too.

There seemed more people than usual its still disheartening when you think at times under Shez we got 7000.

I'll admit I wanted him gone after Coventry but I'm happier he's turned it around although I was a supporter of his, like many I just felt he wouldn't make it here. Obviously we all like winning but winning under Dickov feels better than wins under Dave Penney.

The guy is mental (in the good way, not the killing women to make a female skin dress way) I'd say the most enjoyable interview in the programme for an age. You can see why he is popular among other pros and staff, seems a genuine likeable lad and the comparison between him (or his yet to be proven, highly doubted and contested alleged insult) with the idiot hooligan in the Leeds match the Football League Show snuck in was unfair.

It takes one generic letter changing the name on it with a second class stamp on an envelope. Along with some good manners to those who sort to help out. The OS piece claimed it was impossible. Really?

 

Anyway, I believe every company should at least respond. That's me, not everyone.

In fairness though you say that like it would take minutes, it could take at least an hour or more and which already overworked member of staff should increase their workload? People should get responses but they don't, besides speaking as someone who has applied for many jobs and not heard from the vast majority I prefer not getting a letter with the fake apology and promise.

Both are quality but Deano has a better relationship with the fans because he just funny to watch, he celebrates with passion when we score and always salutes the fans. If at 18 year old I felt I could force my way into a World Cup I'd do it, it's pretty odd that he's disliked for wanting to play. Also it's pretty rude to come onto a club's fan forum page; openly admit that you want both to be playing at a higher level, question our judgement over guys we see every week live and take offence when people see your constant belittling of a guy as anything but a personal attack. Also isn't Brad Jones an Aussie? Just you haven't mentioned him from what I've seen.

Croft

Lets lay off the ballboy, he hasn't accused anyone from what I've seen and was listening to fans and senior players. A silly thing to do, but we all do silly stuff as teenagers.

Which account?

Not sure, saw it last night there was no picture and very few other Tweets but it said Lee Croft didn't racially abuse me it's just rumours #oafc. What's strange is how the United players reacted, someone said he was told by a player he heard Croft call him a n***** well if an Oldham player ever hears a player call a ballboy a racist slur at BP I expect them to defend him.

Also going off the tv shots, the fans didn't react like a 14 year old just suffered racist abuse and niether did the kid to be fair. Also claims of him being pushed by Croft are clearly 100% lies, when he is proven to be innocent I want Latics to take action against United for poor stewarding that allowed a fan to be in a position where he could have attacked a player, I hope Croft consults his lawyers about slander and when they come to BP were batter them on the pitch.

It was a United throw in, but in fairness to the ballboy he has said he didn't hear anything. Also a Twitter account claiming to be him said Croft didn't abuse him racially.

Hopefully he is proven innocent, but if not then he should be banned but I have my doubts to how true it is.

It was mentioned on the Preston forum that it was reported on the wireless that building would be started in Spring, guessing that means planning permission hasn't been granted yet.

I'm working so gutted I won't be going

The pairing isn't the problem it's how they're being used, but in answer to the OP I'd prefer him gone now. If we got a draw against Crewe that wouldn't change a win against PNE and some more off the back of it then he's ok.

I'm an Oldham fan so I'll be there whoevers in the dugout.

Nice little fishing trip

It annoys me how much joy some 'fans' get for seemingly being right about Dickov, more happy about being right than anything else. I'd rather be seen as a happy clapper, then a knob with a superioty complex personally. Happy clappers enjoy the game more, and aren't as poor company.

you know what i mean,dont try and get away out

Out of what? You don't rate a player who has shone in this team, if you don't see his ability fair enough just thankfully you're not a scout.

Dickov's not even officially gone and this has already become boring.

i'm sorry if i dont see what you see but i dont i only rate him as a div 2 player at best

Luckily we're a div 3 team

Would depend on who applied for it, but as of yet there is nothing to debate as we have a manager.

Another random Latics' staff member to be questioned on here

montano should never wear the shirt again,we had an opprtunity to sign leon clarke on loan for £50,000 or montano for 3 yrs,no brainer in my opinion clarke scored again today,montano played :censored: again

Seriously? Montano is one hell of a player, and is always a danger. Who in his place for Crewe?
