LaticsChris

i was leaning more towards brian lara myself

this is a good thread! its so long and repetitive that ive actually ceased to give a flying crumpet about the MK Dons situation

I just want to get to the bloody game now!

these international weeks are pretty quiet on the latics front eh?

haha if i was reading this as an McDons fan i think id be so bamboozled with all these options that my head would explode!

"Daddy, why do all those men hate us?" - "Unfortunately son, you were born a Jew in 1930's Berlin. I know you don't understand, but some people need to hate someone".

 

"Daddy, why do all those men hate us?" - "Unfortunately son, you were born in Milton Keynes and MK Dons are your local club. I know you don't understand, but some people need to hate someone".

The FA and Winkleman should be the targets of vitriol for their disgraceful disregard of tradition - not the town or supporters who just want to see league football. The way the FA and FL are running things we are lucky to still have football teams.

 

Will our pack animals turn on another innocent bunch of fans who are helping increase our income, like they did against Morecambe?

 

Just the 3 points for me on Saturday - the politics of it are history.

spot on about the fans, its not their fault. its winkleman and the fa.

the funny thing is, i dont have a problem with the fans... just imagine, its 1895, u live in oldham and a football club springs up in your area. if you like the game you'll go and have a nosey, and a support will be cultivated. Fair play to them, i couldnt imagine going all them years without a local club.

The real villain in the piece is pete winkleman, he ripped the soul out of a football club, so the abuse should be in his direction *

*i do not condone violence towards football club chairman....**

**MK Dons are not a real football club

boundary park.... but i agree with kidderz, the P word should be banned, until it becomes reality!

actually come to think of it dont worry, she wouldn't have heard it anyway?

you did nothing wrong ,just being polite

yeah you were just being polite...not sure about telling her her hearing disability is great though...

find it hard to beleive theyd be getting out of their tree, surely a pint or 2 is ok...?

Anyway last night was good then? I saw them at the academy in may and they was awesome, the place was jumping! One of my fave bands atm.

The Whip are also pretty damn good, got my tickets booked to see them at the academy in november (the same week as paul weller ) any tics goin to that gig?

Thing that gets me is why does one have to sign up to merely read the board? You don't with oafc.co.uk you didn't with JKL. I fully appreciated the need to register to actually interact on here, but why isn't the main "official" Latics forum, sanctioned by the club open to the wider world? Surely the views of the main Latics mb aren't so secret they have to be hidden away. Its often interesting to go and read the views of teams we have or are about to play yet unless I'm mistaken OWTB precludes this.

 

I know a few people who would never in a million years want or need to post owt on any MB but were always browsers and lurkers on JKL, not every Latics fan wants to interact, but I bet there are many who'd "graze" if the opportunity were there.

 

All that said maybe its just me, maybe you can view without logging in, maybe I'm doing something wrong?

im one of these people who mainly just 'graze' (i'm watching you ) and i wouldnt say that having to register is really such a ball-ache, i mean it takes max. 5minutes out of your life. im sure anyone with time to mooch around on a latics forum has time to register, so i cant see how it would put anyone off really, unless theyre just incredibly lazy!

oh right

15/3/1952 Workington (A) Lost 0-1

 

ouch, now thats what i call a bad start!

Yeah, I was quite impressed to be honest. Although, the one where he had the ball and fooled their lad as to where he was going with it, did leave my heart in my mouth. Overall though, he was alright but as Hazell was MOTM IMO (and after I said so to my mates, he inexplicably nodded it out for a Morecambe corner when under no pressure at all), neither he or Stam needed to do so much. Sadly, after rating Eards between £12m and £20m now he's a fully fledged full-back, passing midfielder and no nonsense defender...he quickly resumed back to his more natural £500,000 tag with his penalty miss

am i the only one that thought the keeper made an absolutely stunning save to deny eardley?! i couldn't beleive he'd got to it AND kept it out!

i couldn't say im happy or unhappy about last night, obviously gutted to lose as usual, but the performance was very good, particularly in the first half when we shud have gone 4-0 up! it was a combination of bad luck, below average finishing and a MOTM display from their keeper that meant we went in 0-0. My positive for the night would be whitakers performance. From what ive seen so far this season he could be our key player, he was our main creative influence, especially after hughes went off and i can see him popping up with a few crucial goals this season.

Overall i'm still positive for the league campaign, last night didnt change much at all. Lets just hope the injuries picked up by hughes, and which kept taylor out, aren't serious!

27-08-88 Oldham 1-1 Barnsley

but then on the 29th: Man City 1-4 Oldham

I agree that our kit is indisguishalbe form many other teams.

I do like the 40/50's and th eone above as being distintive.

Alternatively.

I've suggested before the Pine Villa c 1897 but in blue.

 

 

A bit like this but narrower bands, but do you think it looks like any other teams?

 

It is A Nike shirt, but ours would be smaller bands, then tangerine hoops for away!

err, QPR?

If the GUNS gimmick doesnt quite work, how about going to something original!

 

PIG BAG??

 

It's what QPR use and you will all remember how they rubbed salt into thw womb:

 

DUH DUH DUH DUH HOOPS!

 

Well we could make this our own:

 

DUH DUH DUH DUH BLUES!

 

thoughts???

sounds painful

haha i saw this when it was on and videod it on my fone! i was crying with laughter!

We might even be top of the league

thats the great thing about a good start to the season, in the team talk on saturday shez can point out to the players 'remember lads, a win here today puts us/keeps us top of the league!'. When you can say that it gives the players that extra incentive to win, it gives them something to look at, unlike when we start badly and the top seems way off, even if its just 6 points or so...

...i may be stating the obvious but hey, we're all in a good mood so who cares

du du du sadly seemingly brought about by the pre-match drunken antics of the oasis boys and girls at Brighton, unless someone had heard it before ... maybe I have , maybe I really did fry my brain on the free bar that day.

 

The other was to the tune of louie louie.

 

lewis lewis oh oh Allesandra yeh yeh yeh yeh

I hate to admit I love the Lomax one to 2unlimited.

Kelvin ...Kelvin Kelvin ... kelvin kelvin ................ lomax lomax lomax

haha them two are crackers!

if we wer original everytime we sang a song wed have sum proper dodgy songs! we'd have to drag out old roxy music b sides just to make sure we didnt use a tune somebody else has....

To be honest i thought the guy was drunk and didnt realise he'd been attacked, and for them :censored:ing animals to start chanting cheerio and waving to him as he was being led away by the paramedics dirty Leeds bastards. I hope all is well and im sure somebody will post on here when he pulls through.

wow i didnt realise that had happened, though i saw the fuss. it was clear he was in a bad way though, so i couldnt beleive it when they started singing to him. animals.

He jinks to the left,

He jinks to the r-i-i-i-i-ght,

Oh Chris Taylor,

Made Leeds look :censored:e.

 

We've sang it few years back and used 'Blackpool' as the team, but I've not heard it for a while...

i heard one today sung to the 'hey baby' tune, couldnt make out the words though, just his name. anyone on here know what it was?

thats not a good record...

if i remember correctly we got moved to the central league because of morecambes promotion to the football league meant there were too many northern teams, and so we had to drop to the central to even it up.
