The Ref???

If it was he would have put himself in, loved himself the useless bastard.

Rochdale were restricted to 1700 tickets and managed to sell 1689 of them by friday dinner when they went off sale .what makes you think they would of filled the rest of the stand  if available ? 

Well if they didn't sell their allocation, I assume it would have been 1689.

It ain't going to be on, full days rain tomorrow.

Convinced the officials in this league are actually cheating. There’s no other explanation! 

No way, they are just inept. 

These refs are killing the game for me. It's all about him.

That's strange because very few were suggesting the squad was a shambles at the time of his appointment.

 

Surely a big reason for appointing the promotion specialist was that he'd be doing his best work in the championship rounds, not scrambling to finish a few places higher from when he started?

I'd say that the majority recognised that the squad had major deficiencies, albeit we haven't really addressed some of them (a right back foremost). For me Mellon has tailed off but deserves next season to see where he can get us, I would wager that 10 games into a new season we won't be sitting just outside the relegation places.

That’s very fair of you. TBH I’m the same, I don’t think I’ve ever booed Latics off, just fled as soon as the whistle goes and got as far away as possible. It’s fine to say that fans pay their money so have the right to boo, I get it, but it’s not like complaining about a product or service in the real world. This is football, and it’s our club, that we love in spite of everything. I just walk away, always have, or, worse, don’t go to the game.

The booers (is that a proper word), are a minority, I'm like you, applaud them off when we win or play well, other than that it's a head down hasty exit. 

I like the "edge" that Garner gives us, it's something we have been missing for a while, my only criticism would be is that he overplays it a bit too much, there is a fine line somewhere.

I don't like his style of play, chopping and changing or playing square pegs in round holes. 

I say what I see and perhaps a few others should too instead of making excuses.

In all my 60 years watching the Latics I've never seen a team as booed off the field as much as this one -and I've seen  some very poor teams in that time.

Let's see what he does about it next season, I'm prepared to see  what happens.

If he can find a few more like Josh Stones it may not be as bad again.

 

TBF BP the booing is more symptomatic of society nowadays, years ago we took the football for what it was. I blame social media.

Is the ref the same one as Friday? 

Mellon gets the gig for next season, summer will see comings and goings, there are players here that are just not good enough, let's see what MM can do next season.

Conlon, what a disappointment this lad has been. I hope it’s just his midfield partners making him look bad but he’s so one footed and constantly out of position, it’s bizzare. 
 

The audacity for the prick to come over and clap at the end of the game like the big I am, tit. He’s crap and if his family have talked him out of being here then just fuck off. 

I'm sorry but anyone who has to play alongside Nathan Sheron in midfield gets a get out of jail free card. 

The play should not have even gone as far as the Fondop incident, Hobson gets thrown to the ground 5 seconds before by the Fylde player with his arms round his neck. Fylde deserved to win today but these refs are doing my head in.

As @doctor evil said it's where the player impacts the play, i.e. where he touches the ball.

 

See paragraph 4 of https://www.thefa.com/football-rules-governance/lawsandrules/laws/football-11-11/law-11---offside

 

The law changed in summer 2018. 

Thanks, I didn't know the rule had changed, I also didn't know that the rule had changed that a goalkeeper can handle the ball outside his area. 

The refs decision to award an offside against us in our own half just about sums him up. 

Fantastic

Not a bad price really and i will be buying. 

Early bird is an increase of 1.50 a game (assuming you go to all the home games) not much more than the price of a daily red top.

It was pretty cheap last time around tbf - it’s still less than a tenner

Correct some of them 16 year old pay that for 1 pint.

Braver he/she/they than me if you commit to that.

Eyresy I don't mind your antagonistic posts, but how many games have you attended in the last 2 seasons and when did you last get a ST (I'm well aware it's down to the individuals own choice).

I will renew, even though I've only been to 9 home games this season. My thanks to Frank.

I'm posting on twitter because of the trolls on here, it's less personalised on there I've found.

Anway I've got flu and so has my wife and I've lost any interest in the next game - which I won't be attending.

Incidentally, England were very good apart from a couple of mistakes I thought last night.

 

 

Don't let them get to you Alf. And hope you get well soon, I was fortunate to get flu and missed 2 home games.
