Lags Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 Yesterday..... an injuried Wellens or Charlie boy? who looked the better player? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigfinLatic Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 Yesterday..... an injuried Wellens or Charlie boy? who looked the better player? I honestly do not remember "Charlie boy" touching the ball in the whole game, except from taking corners... I agree with you as to who is a better player, however it doesnt help KK that he is shoved on the wing, agaisnt Donny it would be nigh on impossible for him to play from there, they play so tight in the midfield with Coppinger, Wellens, Stock and Green just dominating the ball... all of them are probably better thatn KK... so no wonder the only time you saw him was when he was moaning... Saying that, I have no problem is saying Wellens was awesome yesterday.... the exact type of game we all know he loves.. big stage, underdog, Injury for him to play on.... he was bloomin brilliant, and I for one dont begrudge him playing in the Championship... As for KK (and the moronic Andy Robinson) see you at BP next season.... however much more worried about Robinson than KK.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted May 26, 2008 Author Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) "I honestly do not remember "Charlie boy" touching the ball in the whole game" Watch the goal again. You'll see Charlie boy in a sorry lunge tryin to stop the ball goin in whilst marking the post. Then as the ball springs back from the bulging net Charlie boy catches the ball! and you'll see him touch it. Pleased for Charlie and Leeds, call it sour grapes if you like, I call it respect like he did my club. Edited May 26, 2008 by Lags Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boundaryblue80 Posted May 26, 2008 Share Posted May 26, 2008 (edited) Haha........ It's almost a shift-change now...Wellens and the comments people were coming out with "he'll never play at an higher level, :censored:out money grabber etc." have been altered now to...."fair play, good on him, he's gone up and done it etc." as though some needed proving wrong and that he was somehow wrong to go to Donny and leave us. I know who's laughing now! There'll still be some bitter ones about him but all I can say is I'm very happy for him. And KK has gone from "well Leeds are a bigger club, can't blame him" to "haha, see ya next season, bag of :censored:, should've stuck with us.....etc." Not pointing specifically at people here, just finding the general changing of opinion humourous. I'm not bitter against either. Never have been. Glad KK didn't stay coz frankly, he was overrated. Poor mans Wellens. Gutted Richie left. Would wish KK all the best if he wasn't at Leeds and I hope Wellens has a great shot at it in the Champs. Anyway....as you all were.....

I think, though, that Wellens mended his reputation in a big way by being at Ernie's game - not the act of the big time Charlie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think that is just a normal reaction from people in general , a bit of told you so , football fans generally dont want a player to better himself especially when they leave on a sour note. Wellens deserves his chance in the Championship , best of luck to him. Kilkenny is young and grabbed a chance to go to a bigger club and bigger salary , but he probably now realises he is not a big fish in a small pond.

Not a chance Leeds wont go up. Why is he a charlie boy? He has no loyal tie to oldham its just a job!! Lookin at it independantly Leeds are a bigger club like it or not!! He never promised to stay and he upset about leaving but had to think of his career. I no exactly what i would do!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 Do you see me say the same things about Gary Mac, Trotman and so on? NO you don't why? it's the manner they left.

razza699 Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 Yes he will be in league one next year but they are certs for promotion in my eyes. Crowds of 25k are better to play in front of than scraping 6k! When they go up they will stay up whereas were gonna struggle unless people come back to BP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frankly Mr Shankly Posted May 27, 2008 Share Posted May 27, 2008 "To avoid upsettin some" , well that named thread failed He had every intention in upsetting some. Lags has some skewed logic if he thinks Kilkenny should have stayed with us with an offer from Leeds on the table. Apart from leaving mid-season, I don't see what Kilkenny has done differently to what Gary Mac has done. Neil Kilkenny didn't at any point say he was going to stay the season.

Apart from leaving mid-season, I don't see what Kilkenny has done differently to what Gary Mac has done. Neil Kilkenny didn't at any point say he was going to stay the season. Difference is that he Gary Mac went back to Scotland and to Aberdeen a team nice and far away as where Kilkenny went to Leeds who aren't everybody's second team as it is and are now in our division. He will no doubt get boo'd next season not by me he did what I would have done and went for the best deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted May 27, 2008 Author Share Posted May 27, 2008 (edited) For the record here's how my logic works. Latics have given Charlie Boy 2 goes at kick starting his football league career. First off we gave him his big break in first team football. The fans give him all the backing a young player could wish for and the club the chance to progress. Fair does that he should end his time with thanks from Latics whilst heading back to Brum and the premiership to try his luck. Nowt wrong with that and good luck to the lad. However the second coming and leaving is totally different. He was left in the wilderness at brum, not in the prem but in the Championship. He endured a year out in the cold with little chance of emerging into the light and once Brum went up the dark become a black hole. Kilkenny was crying for Latics to come to his rescue and take him on loan. Get him playing on a first team pitch again. We duly obliged him. Remember he even came injured which meant we saw nothing of the real player, until eventually we had to fix him and give him a break whilst he recovered. Then come January when his loan period was up, the club offered to make him our highest paid player, the fans would have gladly accepted that status and the black hole nightmare wouldn't appear. But no Kilkenny jumped ship to Leeds. He should have stayed till at least the end of the season and repaid some of that grace Latics had done for him. Sorry Charlie Boy forever from now on. Great to see Charlie in league one cos thats were him and his club merit to be. Looking forward to Latics goin up and leaving Charlie and his mates behind.

Why do you always have to make out anyone with a different view to you some how has to have something wrong with their brain? It's about time you cut that out brother. But it seems most people think he did what is human nature to do, in this capitalist world we live in. Take the extra money. I dislike Leeds as much as anyone. A horrible, dirty club. But I'll not get as bitter and twisted as you tend to get because... a] It makes you look completely silly IMO b] Karma balances itself out (as it clearly has in Kilkenny's case). c] It didn't destroy our season. And if you think I'm trying to imply you've something wrong with your brain, well, you're clearly paranoid, brethren. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
