  1. I've just seen a list of 7 players that Latics have listed for loan. Three of them are obvious, and I don't think have even played any minutes for the first team this season. Three more are current fringe players, occasionally starting matches but usually not more than bench warmers. The other one would probably more of a surprise to some. Loaning him out would free up decent wage.

     

    In other words, I suspect LJ is up for quite abit more wheeling and dealing this month.

  2. I find it peculiar, that in spite of the lack self monitoring that asian betting markets are adapting, that thousands of pounds placed on on an obscure event (such as Cristian Montona getting booked against Wolves or Notts County) isn't immediately obvious.

     

    Or maybe it was obvious, and it was an anoymous tip off from the East which alerted the Sun.

     

    Does anyone know why the Sun started investigating these players?

  3. 'It's actually a bigger deal than most people think. The club have effectively handed over control and it's up to Holroy to get it built now.

    Maybe only a token announcement but important in the building of the stand.'

     

    Yes, the contract that virtually guarantees the go-ahead of the most important ground developement in the clubs history is hardly an anti-climax.

    It wasn't already guaranteed?

  4. I will say though that the County player (Freeman I think) was a cnut. He made sure he stayed down until Bove got sent off. Why at 4-1 down he felt the need to do that escapes my modest sense of empathy. he clearly wasn't hurt.

     

    If it had been me on the recieving end of that tackle, I would have done everything I could to make sure that an 18 year making his professional debut didn't get sent off (as soon as I was confident that I was ok to continue playing).

  5. Maybe i'm being generous and biased but I thought it harsh, the lad jumped to his feet and was fine.

     

     

    Or maybe i'm watching too much of the RL World Cup.....

    I was right in line with it from where I was sat at the front of the main stand and I immediately feared the worst. It was clearly just a rush of blood and a poor decision to slide in (no real malice), but he was nowhere near it. You just can't go in like that. The rules are there to protect players from the kind of career threatening injuries that result from that kind of challenge. He deserved it I'm afraid IMHO.

  6. Just home from a fantastic 5-1 win ....... And read this.

     

    I really despair at some so called fans on here.

     

    Go kick a cat somewhere fool.

     

    a ) His post was mostly positive, and you highlighted the two lines that weren't

    b ) His comments regarding the periods of the game where we played poorly were 100% accurate. What's wrong with calling it as it was?

  7. Roy has the most scrutinised job in English football and it's the media's job to bull:censored: at every point.

     

    Just something that could've been well avoided.

     

    Only in hindsight.

     

    I think Roy has every right to expect people in the media not to act like petulant 12 year olds over something that is clearly innocuous. It is not his job to second guess his well intentioned team talks to such a degree.

  8. Another tribal moron trying to make a name for herself:

    Tell me Ms Rabbatts, if they elected a black man to the commission (which I suspect they will now thanks to all this BS), but they identified as a human being and a football person first, rather than as a skin tone (because they're not as racially obsessed as you), would that appease you? What exactly does having different epidermal tones on the commission accomplish other than appeasing the socially stunted morons like yourself who like to divide people up by skin colour?

     

    Let's make sure we have the following types on the commission too, just to make sure everyone's views are "represented":

     

    gingers, transgenders, hat wearers, homosexuals, libertarians, mormons, people with multiple personalities and aspergers

  9. My view is that if anybody thinks what he said was in any way racist then they are a complete and utter :censored:ing idiot.

     

    And exactly as racist themselves as they accuse others of being.

     

    Things like this being considered racist wouldn't cross he minds of someone who isn't themselves prejudiced in some way. Reminds me of some of the racism stories that The Young Turks like to run. One story involved some nutjob comparing Obama to a drug dealer because of some policy or other. Cenk Uygur considered that comment to be racially motivated (drug dealers = black people apparantly). Of course no such motivation was remotely stated or implied.

     

    It's also kind of like how some of the religious conservatives who most fierely oppose homosexuality, end up getting outed themselves.
