Dunno but need the win if only to put space between us and the bottom 4.

Surely if we have this upboat / downboat system, one use could be if you get to -100 or something equally ridiculous you get banned? 

You can only get to that sort of number by being a complete gobshite or deliberately trying to be funny or wind people up?

Either way the rest of us shouldn’t have to read it.

Understand your viewpoint and there is something to it, but there are some posters who - while being permanently negative and receiving numorous downboats still offer the alternitive point of view.

And also you would just get people jumping on the bandwagon to get people banned for no reason.

This oafcchuck fella needs his privileges cutting tho and letting him only respond to rather than start threads. Surely that can be done? Raining in without banning. He clearly likes the club just goes ott on here

I was a massive fan of Kilkenny, Palmer and Baxter, but Byrne is the best player we've had at this level since Wellens...

Said the same in the pub recently. However Byrne has done it for 6 weeks. Wellens was consistently good over the season and didn't have the attitude we have seen signs of Byrne when things don't go his way.

If Byrne can figure out a way to play now teams are trying to mark him out of the game he could.be a very good player. But he hasn't been with us long enough or done it consistently enough to fill welled boots just yet.

He couldn't have a better gaffer to learn his trade from though 

The nice guy that hid stuff. 

Alot of stuff.

Until his back was against the wall.

Then it was the fans fault

All pubs around the ground are shite. Stick to the centre of mk or the sports bar is decent

If it was a non league team or a team we haven't played in recent history in league 2 we Would, even considering distance. But I consider Carlisle a run of the mill league one team. We must've played them almost as much as Tranmere and Walsall over the last 20 years

It's not like it's round the corner. Everyone who wants to go will know a st holder who doesn't fancy it.

Just nick their ticket and stop whining some people just love to whinge

Been there done Carlisle. Gone are the days I can go away every other week without question. Only tick off new grounds and big games these days away from home

No reason we can't keep both with Wigan flying and the investment coming in touch wood.

However wouldn't be surprised to see a few who ain't making the bench make way

Forgot all about him. I'd imagine he will be no.3 regardless. Definitely ahead of the rest for me except Davies and doyle

Them winning the title seems like a midsummer night's dream now

Poleon or doyle/Davies? 

It's a hard one ?

If I remember correctly that was a February half term week, still who'd want to miss a Tuesday night under the floodlights at Valley Parade with a chance to watch the winning run stretched to five.

True but spelling names of players and managers correctly is not hard.

Granted. But when you write a full post like the one I've been picked up on and you do actually spell it correctly but it gets auto corrected on my phone it's easy to forget.

If I typed using terms like gr8 and massif etc I can understand it but aside from the one auto corrected piece stated above it's an otherwise we'll written piece there's no need to be anal about every typo. Especially one that is Ritchie instead of Richie given the fact one of our clubs greatest legends goes by that name and therefore gets mentioned a lot. 

And anyway this is taking away from the original point of the topic. It's got 8 upboats so clearly it hasn't bothered others quite as much

That's what proofreading is for.

It's a bloody football forum not the magna Carta 

We can win it. Quite confident going into it as wellens and the team will be. Back us to win every game at the moment. I'll go latics 2-1

Richie FFS. 

 

 

Not guilty this time. That's auto correct for ya

Mr Corney, and associates. 

As fans of Oldham Athletic, we want nothing more than the club to be the best it can possibly be at any given time. We understand the club works within tight constraints off the pitch, and this often has an adverse affect on it, but every now and then there comes a time when you - As custodians of the club - can make a decision that is the overwhelming first choice of the majority, while at the same time won't jepodise the clubs future financially.

Over the last 4 games Ritchie Wellens has galvanised this squad into a team that has the potential to not only be one of the best Oldham teams seen in years, but one that could actually challenge this season. The fans are absolutely loving not only the results but the performances to go with it. In him we believe we have a winner. 

We are not blind enough to think this can continue. There may be troubled times ahead, but when you are winning why upset the apple cart with an outside appointment? Recent media reports have suggested big name appointments, but the fans simply want to see good attacking winning football which we have seen in abundance under the current manager. There is no guarantee any outside appointment will match that no matter how big the name. 

I write this to ask you to make the sensible decision and make the current caretaker manager permanent as soon as is viable. Clearly there are goings on behind the scenes that us as fans do not know about, but all involved want the best for the club and it would seem folly at the current time not to give the job to Ritchie Wellens.

We await your decision, but know it will be one that has the best interests of the club at heart, and one that will bring solid foundations to the club going forward.

As good as this news is for the town, let's be honest, the circulation numbers are still going to be considerably low.

How many of those on here that didn't buy it before it went bust will buy it now it's being re invented? I bet it's not many.  Most rely on the internet these days 

I sense an announcement tommorro...

Tony Carrs 

Scott vernon/Gary McDonald (purely for THEM goals)

Gary Kelly and his disco pants

So we obviously back him as a coach. It's hard to argue with him after three very good displays and 3 wins.

However what's your take on his potential in the transfer market?

If the takeover/investment goes through I think it could work perfectly. He can clearly get the best out of the players put in front of him and I don't think the foreigners lemmy has had a hand on so far have been too shabby. It should work well 

If however wellens is left to operate on a more traditional basis will he have the pulling power and the connections to attract players? He plays an attractive style of football, as he did as a player so you would like to think any incoming players would want to play for him.

Glad you revel in our bad start. 

And I'm sure you also saw the takeover coming

Or maybe it's all a big wind up and it's building up to the big reveal on the April 1st???

Slippy the grit slingeroo
