  1. It was Ripley who held Latics to ransom for his wages...... We have now had 4 keepers this season ....and we sent the best back across the Pennines
  2. We are getting closer and closer to the corner to be turned....very soon we will be completely round the bend?
  3. We must have played 1000 games in this league one now....500 at home. That is 750 hours of watching Latics at home ....that is 20 full working weeks! Are we any better or any worse as a team or any further forward or any further back as a club than when we played the first of those games? we play Shrewsbury today...is it just me or do we seem to have just played Shrewsbury or Walsall or just be about to play Shrewsbury or Walsall for the last 20 years
  4. On records what is Shez record with us in 2016 and 2017....about 55 games?
  5. The title of the thread is refs in general....I am not defending the ref I am defending refs....a ref's clanger can change a game,. Of course it can but 98% of the time it is players at fault but 80% of the time is spent discussing refs....it is a blind alley and a coping strategy
  6. "he gives one of our players a second yellow card" .......who was responsible for the first yellow....I can't find the three page thread abusing Fane ....who completely fluffed the header for the one on one goal? .....I can't find that abusive thread either....etc etc blaming referees
  7. How was he at fault for their 4 goals? ......would you have said " fair enough" if that penalty had been given against us?
  8. I had not realised that Joyce had also refereed the Walsall, burton Oxford Blackpool and Wigan games too! ....some referees make mistakes, some are incompetent, some are right when fans think they are wrong....but no team loses 6 matches on the trot conceding 15 goals in the process because of the referee. Any team or supporters getting wound up by the referee with a record like that is in denial.
  9. I think reading between the lines and squaring that with events is fascinating.
  10. Some people did not take a season and a half to realise it ...but they lust got dog's abuse for mentioning it
  11. Not to mention the fee we paid for the lad from Myerscough College ? Turner?
  12. I agree but Mr Corney tells us he is his record signing
  13. His 1 goal since Dec 2016 is one more than Holloway in the same period and his 2 in 4 for Bradford is the same as Holloway has scored in 2 seasons for us. His 15 in 53 is 6 more than Hollowy has scored in his career.....and Holloway apparently is our record signinga
  14. I know what you mean about most league one keepers saved that but most league one keepers would not have had to save it ...Gerrard defending was a disgrace . Wilson has got a 6 month contract Gerrard is going to steal 2 years money off us
  15. Just as a moot point......How would it work if we did get a third call up and postponed it and then sold MacLaughlin on Thursday
  16. Exactly ...he is hearing nothing . Blimey you're hard work
  17. Not sweeping judgement at all. Based on empirical evidence
  18. He is hearing nothing........but his point is clearly too subtle for you
  19. Not being able to remember is why you failed all your exams
  20. " Job done as a striker" if he scored..........well he has only ever scored in one game for us and in none since he returned so by your own benchmark he is a complete disaster.
  21. So Shez is now an accountant and investment manager ......come on he is told by somebody else what is available .etcetc
  22. In 1970'a pint was 1/10d about 9p .....in 1975 4 pints cost exactly £1 PS from memory the Chron was 3d about 1.5 pence
  23. Perhaps Mr Sinnott like me remembers when 15 shillings was a lot of money!......just like a portion of chips was a tanner ie 2.5 pence
  24. So we are not allowed to say the players are not good enough? OK in that case the manager must not be good enough to get the best out of the players? .....but we are not allowed to say that either? Ummm must be all down to Banks then?
  25. Conspiracy theory alert.....our players do look flat and give the impression of playing for a disunited club....my thesis is that Ripley was available to us and the likes of Sheridan and Clarke who "worked on" him understood he wanted to and was coming only for it to be vetoed upstairs....Sheridan and senior players then become disillusioned and feel let down with the situation and that spreads through the club .
