It says Corney is trying to buy back he’s so upset with the goings on.

*dons tin hat*

I believe a Tory MP made a similar mistake when looking on the Labour Party website ?

I've concluded that it's easier on my nerves - and blood pressure - to accept that we are going to get relegated, and anything different would be a bonus. 1970-71 was also my first season watching Latics, in the old Division 4, so it looks like I could be back where I started!

 

 

I’d settle for next season being as exciting and entertaining as 70/71. Unlikely though.

Can’t see Barton lasting 5 minutes. He will be a target for abuse on every away ground In league 1. Barton hasn’t got a short fuse he’s got no fuse at all. He’ll be in the crowd throwing punches within weeks. 

Curtis Main, Dunne and Robbo off to Scottish cup final

Bought a ticket for original fixture but can’t go tomorrow due to work commitments, if anybody wants a print at home ticket for Main stand lower (chaddy end side) drop me a message and I’ll email it over.

It may be sent as an email pdf, you can print from that, or use print in the top right menu of your computer.

If you chose the option to print you received them by email as a pdf. That option appears to have gone which is annoying when you don’t live in Oldham like me. I’ll be ringing them in a couple of hours to find out and will update on response. 

Bet they’re glad they put the effort in to get this on ?

Just on a tram to Oldham having set off from Blackpool at 11. Might just have a few pints before heading back ?

I started watching Latics as a 5 year old in the late 60’s and my clearest memories from then are some night matches in the Lancashire senior cup against the likes of City, United and Liverpool’s A teams

 

From 70-71 to 73-74 my memories are clearer and 70-71 was a great season, getting promoted from Division 4, with Jim Fryatt and possibly David Shaw scoring many goals and exciting, attacking football, with us also winning the Ford Sporting League, most of the monthly prizes and £70,000 which led to the Ford Stand being built

 

in the early 70’s there were good players and many characters like Harry Dowd, Ian Wood, Maurice (90 miles an hour) Whittle , Dick Mulvaney, Jim Bowie, Keith Bebbington, Colin Garwood, and some local lads like Chris Ogden, Andy Sweeney, briefly, and Keith Hicks 

 

we also had a couple of home evening friendlies around 71-72 against Internazionale ( possibly Inter Milan) and Borussia Dortmund 

 

the World Cup in 1970 in Mexico is also the first World Cup I remember and watching the England games or highlights before going to school 

 

it semmed to snow heavily every year too, and we had real pea souper fog

 

73-74 was another great season, winning promotion from Division 3 in style with more than one 6 goal victory at home, Southport and Huddersfield 

 

That season was when I went to my first away matches, with Latics taking over Southport on Easter Monday and York around the same time 

great atmospheres at both those games and we beat Southport too

 

I also remember in the early 70’s playing Villa at home and losing 6-0, which was on ITV’s Sunday football programme and getting some stick the following day at school from the Reds and blues, who never went to watch their team

 

silk scarves tied around your wrist and bouncing up and down on the boards at the back of the chaddy

 

 also remember playing Northwich Victoria in the FA Cup at Maine Road around 77 and being in the Kippax when we won 4-1, with 25,000 plus there,the original game being moved from their ground because they’d sold more tickets than the ground capacity

 

many great memories, and still going now 

Remember all that! Southport away on Easter Monday was actually my 10th birthday, which by simple maths makes it 15 years to the day prior to the Hillsborough disaster. We achieved a lot in that 15 years. 

Some other memories - Formby away in the FA cup - so close to the pitch that when George Jones scored the ball nearly hit me in the face as the net bulged. Liverpool away in the cup - lost 3-1 but outplayed them for long periods and they only sealed it after Steve Heighway dived for a penalty. Never heard a Liverpool player booed at Anfield so loudly by thousands of ‘tics. 

It certainly seemed more enjoyable back then but that’s just the innocence and wide eyed expectation of youth I guess combined with year after year of relegation battles for what seems like forever. 

Anybody who thought this was won at half time wants their bumps feeling

I’m more amazed he’s only got 2 bones in his left leg. No wonder crutches are a constant.

How many players with better known brothers have played for Latics I wonder?

Gerrard is one.

Is Craig now considered more famous than his dad, Freddie “parrot face” ?

He can’t be worse than his brother, his brother is utter shite. Criminal of a footballer 

His brother with over 160 premier league appearances at a goal every 2.4 games. His brother who has 12 goals in 32 games for the national side ranked 5th in the world. He’s better than him? I wager he isn’t.

Grow up, Wellens. 

 

You got Byrne, Bryan, Doyle, McEleney, Bunyu and Pringle that were your picks, and possibly Nazon, plus some #FrenchLads. 

 

Start managing us properly. 

 

 

Agreed. No point going on about players he didn’t get. He’s got more than enough quality with what he has to get us out of trouble. He needs to get them back to how they were playing at the start of his tenure. If he doesn’t he may find the management career he craves fails to materialise.

Rumours on twitter defender Ryan McLaughlin off to Milwall for 200k unless its his brother and a mistake. says held up due to bad weather and a flight. Could be pure bullshit from @JD_agent mind not somebody I follow. 

 

Matty Palmer turned down move to Scunny. 

His brother already plays for Millwall doubt they’d pay 200k for their own player.
