League Record since 94/95
Worcester Owl replied to ottantuno's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Now that's an interesting one. I used to dread hs co-commentaries and I still think he talks too much, but lately I've found myself agreeing with his points more often. Very worrying! -

That's a bit odd. I read it yesterday without any problems and tried the link again just now, it opened without any trouble -

What a great article, thanks. We're so lucky to have Frank and co. I'm more optimistic than ever that we're heading in the right direction. -
Forget who?!

I think this sums up Mr Owen very well. Even now, if he was to show some humility and publicly admit how many things he got wrong, that would be something. I won't hold my breath.

MATCH: Boreham Wood (H) 02/12/23

That's great to hear. Lovely gesture. We're hopefully rebuilding our good name after the nightmare years of Lemsagam & co. -
MATCH: Boreham Wood (H) 02/12/23
Worcester Owl replied to Bender's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Who are “them”? Might it be the players who were happy to play the match, and so were happy to train? Might there be a difference between training on a dodgy surface, and a full-on match? Fans with tickets yesterday will get the chance to attend the rearranged match, or a refund. Yes, it was inconvenient for fans who travelled hoping to see a match, but it wasn’t cancelled in order to upset anybody. You often post interesting points on here, @BP1960, but you let yourself down sometimes with an unduly negative view. -
MATCH: Boreham Wood (H) 02/12/23
Worcester Owl replied to Bender's topic in The opinions4u Terraces - Latics Forum
Maybe so and don't get me wrong there are aspects of modern football I hate (players feigning injury, mobbing the ref, time wasting, VAR......) but if it is the case that it was left up to the players to decide, and some of them didn't want to risk getting crocked on a pitch that was maybe less than 100% (otherwise why give them the option) then I'm not sure I would blame them for not wanting to play. One bad injury can end a career. It's always difficult deciding when to call off a game. Maybe as @oafc1955 says we need strict deadlines, with no discretion allowed. -

Of the many posts attacking the club/referee/players/NL, I'm sorry BP but this one takes the biscuit. Why on earth do you think players not wanting to play on a frozen pitch undermines their clapping the fans, or shows they couldn't care less? Of course they would want to play, but you have to balance that against the risk of serious injury. No doubt 50 years ago they would have stubbed out their fags on the frozen pitch, downed a quick winter warmer and come out to play, but times have changed and the game has moved on. More broadly, I get the disappointment, particularly for Boreham Wood fans (and let's drop the jokes about the 2 of them etc, however few there might be is irrelevant) but far from a shambles it's surely the case that every effort was made to get the game played and sadly it wasn't possible. It will be rearranged, nobody has died, and everyone can hopefully find something else to do with their free time this afternoon. It's not the end of the world. Bad weather happens, it's December! -

I certainly didn't enjoy the finger where the sun doesn't shine (which in any case reported normal ) but it didn't matter a jot in the scheme of things! -

100% agree with this. I had my prostate whipped out in June after being diagnosed in January. I was lucky - they caught it early and a few months on I’m pretty well back to normal. I didn’t have any symptoms other than a PSA that was creeping upwards, though not particularly high. First few days after the op were a bit challenging but the NHS has been fantastic. So yes, get checked asap after you hit 50 and don’t take no for an answer (some GP surgeries are reluctant to do PSA tests at that age but it’s your right). -
I hear what you’re saying, but I’m not sure there is much point in complaining about people needing to be banned and at the same time effectively banning yourself? You always have the ignore/block option. If you’re really worried about free speech in our country, try living in Russia or China, though I don’t recommend it.

Barry Fry was told it had to be on one continuous circuit of the pitch when he wanted to lift the St. Andrew’s “curse” -

Oh dear Even by your standards, you've put up a remarkably asinine post there. Let's recap, shall we? Your "point" was to say "Barnet away in the Conference", clearly implying that it wasn't a win to get too excited about. We'd just comprehensively beaten the team 2nd in the table, on their own ground, but don't let that fact worry you, eh? And the "Conference" hasn't been the "Conference" for some time, but never mind. Disjointed pointed out to you it's the same division that we are in. In other words, your "point", other than a statement of the glaringly obvious, had no need whatsoever to demean what was an excellent win. Clutch at straws all you like by trying to equate your silly and negative, petty spoiler with my summary of what I describe above as a bad result against Ebbsfleet (which you clearly didn't notice/ignored). Given the lamentable nature of many of your posts, I'm not sure you need to worry about lowering yourself - you can't get any lower
