Good point, go sign Greg Olley now then Micky, I know he's only 28 but he's some player and a leader.

Is that Darren Royle I take it then?.

Surely teams like Oxford would struggle with 500 home fans if that was the case?. Be good if it was linked to revenue as we would be at a huge advantage next season.

You're generally wrong though to be fair.

Bromley (3rd) and Barnet (2nd) move straight to a home semifinal so they can't benefit anymore than that. Normally; 4th plays 7th 5th play 6th For me Alty (4th) should get the bye and play Bromley away for a place at Wembley and Solihull (5th) should host Halifax (7th) with the winner playing Barnet away. Saying that this is NL so anything is possible.

It's a fair point but I suppose the face of the football club should be showing a little more control or is it fair game now and everyone can get involved. Players have been disciplined and we've not seen them since on the back of poor choices, are we saying the manager is immune from Company policy now and can behave like some of the weapons in the stands do?, I'm not sure that's a good thing.

It's almost as if he is demanding the club should listen to him as they did with Unsworth and spend money they don't have, if what he says is true and that's your group for next year then shut the fuck up and stop slating them publicly and crack on in making them better at their jobs which is ultimately what a manager is paid to do, get on the training pitch and earn your fucking money because lets get this right he's the best paid 'manager' in the division, (hard to believe I know). What's undeniable is this team can get results as they proved if you take away the book ends of the season, yes they threw some shockers in but that's NL for you. I'm of the opinion now that it would be cheaper to move the manager on now, interview for the role and pick the best candidate based on interview, show them the squad they will have to work with and that would give someone a clean slate after what's gone on. Mellon has 18 players next season but only wants about 3 of them and that's an impossible task. My final point on the matter is this, I didn't attend yesterday and don't sit in the main stand but have a friend who had a spat with Mellon, quite a mild mannered guy and basically all he's said is 'Micky stick Garner on and have a go at winning it', to which Mellon replied 'why don't you just fuck off' now I'm sorry but of this man is so up on discipline why does he think it's acceptable to behave in such a manner, it's little wonder we have disharmony in the dressing room because people are treated differently and a manager who can't control his emotions, we are not talking about giving a bit back here we are talking about a man whose chose to behave like that in front of women and children who should know better, he's gone down in my estimations after yesterday and really someone should be addressing his behaviour because it's bordering on unhinged. Barking at fans doesn't end well generally and it's his job to quell that not fan the flames, he has an arrogance about him that doesn't serve him well and it's little wonder the players he 'trusts' have similar mannerisms. Sorry but that's not what I want to see out of our manager, I don't care if your Pep Guardiola you shouldn't go around running your mouth off because you're having a bad day at the office and he's probably bringing the club into disrepute by doing so.

Isn't ironic that the only players who you'd say acquitted themselves yesterday Fondop, Green and Gardner are the three Mellon doesn't fancy and has replaced them at the drop of a hat at every opportunity, I've posted on here about the importance of pace on the flanks and the ppg we pick up with Gardner in the team , both are solid NL players and you could say 'specialists' in their positions so why were both regularly dropped and on occasions when fit not even making matchday 16's?.

I'd thought similar but once clubs find out your happy to subsidise they'll all be asking.

Something we've not really discussed is how the National League will look next season, relegations/promotions have not been very kind to us as it stands we will lose. Chesterfield Boreham Wood Kidderminster Dorking Oxford And one from Barnet, Bromley, Altrincham, Solihull, Gateshead and Halifax And gaining. Forest Green Sutton Tamworth Yeovil Plus two others, one of which is guaranteed to be a trek. On the face of it that's horrendous and potentially even more miles to travel.

Go on then give us a clue, what's the plan?

He's got a very well paid day job he's not prepared to give up so fair play to him.

Don't worry they'll be down to the 3000 crowds again soon enough. Did the Athleticos have a protest today then?

You've been making some sense lately until you put these two forward.

Only problem with that is this, a couple were due to go out permanently in January for no fee but they couldn't agree wages with their new clubs. Both were offered wages about a third of what we are paying, there is absolutely no chance those Mellon wants out are going anywhere unless the board want to pay out about 500k to get them off the books, it simply isn't going to happen.

Shame he's a right footed centre back although I'd shift the other five out to bring them in. We know what he's saying is true but much of it is down to poor coaching, a part time outfit played us off the park today and could of had seven or eight on another day.

Anyone for Lee Johnson

Behaved like an arrogant prick when he'd had the obvious pointed out. If he thinks that's the way to go with Oldham fans he won't get the ten games I predict next season.

Be lucky if there was 4000 in there today, I'd say about 3,500 it was empty all over the place.

Dear me Mellon is actually delusional if he thinks the season hasn't dropped away since Eastleigh, we were top of the form table prior but have since gone on an eleven game winless run which is up there amongst the worst in out history, it's not lazy journalism it's fucking facts, add to that team selections been a fucking raffle and he's employed tactics straight off Clayton playing fields, what's lazy is his inability to set a team up and keep sending them out to do the same mind numbing thing game after game. It's not difficult to see why he cant motivate given the way he's behaving lately, I'd probably down tools as well if I had to listen to that tripe day in day out. Harps on about his impossible job but then crawls up everyone's arse, if you're gonna bleat like a bairn then at least tell us what your trying to say because it looks to me like he wants to blame every fucker but himself, he's almost making his position untenable with the stance he's taken the last couple of weeks and there has been absolutely nothing to be gained from the way he's going on if he's not looking to move on, all he's doing is making an impossible job even more difficult. Of course there's shit going on but I have less faith than ever that he's the man to sort it out, for a start whose gonna play for him after the shit he's talked and I'm not spending a fucking penny whilst Captain fucking doom is in town.

Glad he's alienated 60% of his squad then, terrific man management that Micky, particularly as the old fool can't be taught anything. I suppose the playoff money, FA Trophy money and the other 40k we could have pulled off Chesterfield weren't needed then?

I'll remind everyone again we have Murray to thank for the pleasure of seeing McGahey week in week out, no thanks.

You mean the same players he's somehow got to inspire next season?, in a bit of trouble then aren't we.

To a man a shower of shit today, half of them should be working in Aldi because they are stealing a living.

Has he gone yet?
