Why only top 10 ?????  We should all be hoping for top 6 at least or whats the point. Oh and what do we get for too 10 finish, I'll tell you. Jack

7.Adams 8.Palmer 9.Marshall 10.Milligan 11.Holden R

12.Donachie (unused) 14.Rhodes (unused)

 

So big Joe did put a keeper on the bench for the 2nd leg for insurance in the days when you never normally named a keeper on your bench.

Thank you for that! I was wrong about some of the details...interesting how we create false memories, the human mind is a complex thing.

Is that true or just an urban myth? I was at the game and remember being very convinced we'd cock it up, being chased past the Boleyn pub and a keeper being on the bench (another story) but did he actually come on?

I was sure he did. Others disagree. I can't find a team sheet!

Nah.  Didn't come on

Can't find a team sheet but I was absolutely sure he came on as one of 2 subs. Still, I've been wrong before!

Jon Hallworth had a go in a league match in the mid 90's I recall.

That was the second leg of a 2 leg League Cup fixture v West Ham, the first being the 6-0 St Valentine's Day Massacre game. As we were 6-0 up Joe chose a goalkeeper on the sub's bench, even though we only had 2 subs at the time. Then there were 2 injuries so they stuck Hallworth in centre mid.

The player is Baxter I thought that would have been obvious by now.

Absolutely. Obvious. Can't believe that I didn't see it straight away...the new striker is Rob Hunt, Jose Baxter. Don't tell anyone else though, it's a load of shit we don't want the big clubs finding out.

missed that.

I also got lost and missed their free bets bonus, the UI led me a merry dance.

I hate their UI and I do rather hate the gambling industry too. I hope that we all win at 4-1 and stick a hole in their cash pile.

I  took the 4-1 on Bet Victor.

 

Me too. Great price. They charge £3 if you top up with a credit card though, and i didn't see that in the small print (have never bet before).

Bertrand?  Best left back I've seen since I started watching Latics.

I have fond memories of John Ryan in his first spell.

I always remember Lance Key having a shocker against Newcastle on a Monday night TV game

That would be the Lance Key who played 3 games in goal for us at the top level and got MoM for his role in our 1-0 win at Chelsea? Yes, definitely our worst ever player eh?

As a new joiner to this (in fact, any) forum, I don't wish to become embroiled in all this BUT just an observation. There does appear to be a fair few "supporters" who like to create negativity about Latics. Personally, I would be amazed if anything dire is about to happen to financially. Signing a manager and some of the key players on longer term contracts, installing excellent perimeter advertising boards and a vast improvement in performances - doesn't "look" like a club on the precipice to me.

 

Of course mistakes have been made in the past but all I can do really as a supporter - is - SUPPORT. Hence why I`ve bought a season ticket in advance and will watch my team wherever we end up - it's Latics - it's who I have supported since being a kid.

 

There seems to be a lot of drama around bailiffs turning up etc. I remember bailiffs turning up at reception at a company I used to work at. Some relatively small debt and the paperwork had simply gone unnoticed amongst the sea of other paperwork. The applicant therefore got a County Court Judgement, instructed bailiffs - and they were paid off on the day. It happens, it's business, it's not actually unusual at all in business.

 

I trust those who run the club to sort such things out (they always have to date) - and I`ll just try and help my club as best I can - by supporting them.

 

I genuinely think things are looking up (wherever we end up) and if there's one thing people in this town need to realise it's to support your town's professional football club. I would imagine it's really boring supporting City and United - come and sample some real old fashioned football!

 

Up the Latics!

You'll get nowhere with that attitude! 

 

Due Diligence

 

indeed

No centre back on the bench.

That really puzzles me. 3 midfielders and no CB.

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHH

Notts County stole our Shez, then called the ref a tw*t,

Now he's back to save our season after Corney had a chat.

 

We stay up this season,

then future's looking bright,

And with Shez at the helm,

We'll be "f*cking dynamite"...

Well I think that you have real talent!

Just had a gander... It does exist. Disappointed with the content.

To qualify - we will have circa 20 questions to ask on the day (and clearly, further questions will arise from some answers). Oh, and that's it from me now - I`m just going to get on with it at the pre-meet with the attending fans and on the day itself, so I won't be answering anything else on here - honestly don't have the time - and am going scatty repeating some things. I`ll just keep in touch with the attendees now - hope you understand.

Have you heard of go:censored:yourself.com even better that one.

Genius.

Where's the rumour from ? And who is he ? Any link ? Who's he played for ?

Have you heard of google.com? It's brilliant.

and...I always thought that Alan Groves was a really good player!

His piece of quality win us the match but I thought the whole game passed him by.

I'm assuming all these puns are just wind-ups

I've done that one already Dave!

I'll second that.

Is that a wind up?

My first photoshop, and without photoshop!

Brilliant!
