opinions4u Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 As nil-nil draws go I thought that was a decent game of football and a fairly good (if not matchwinning) display. The end of the season is a long way off - automatic promotion is still there to be had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shawlatic Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 what a boring game so negative i keep keeping 2nd spot in mind but its gone now for definate 8 points behind( at worst..) and 25 games to go how do you figure that out, carlisle defended well and we struggled to break them down but there is no way we were negative.

The end of the season is a long way off - automatic promotion is still there to be had. i have to agree, i thought we where ok today just couldnt break them down. draw your home games win your away games get you in the playoffs thought maher was very good today, we seemed to lose a bit when he went off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 what a boring game so negative Go on, explain it. Or does that sum up your ability to analyse a game of football? 19 corners to 0 11 shots on target to 3 and 8 to 5 off target. Negative? You're like a damn yank who wants to see double figure goals every week. No goals = boring game - yeah right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FLH1993 Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 0-0 enough said It was not a boring game, nor was it negative. thats our first 0-0 of the season - it just wasnt our day, and if their keeper was 3 inches smaller we wouldve scored 10.

Guest sheridans_world Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Does anyone remember a few seasons ago, the league wanted to bring in penalty shoot-outs at the end of 'boring' 0-0 draws to encourage teams to attack more and win during the 90. Todays, wasnt a boring 0-0 draw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cabjones Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Put it this way i brought 3 fans who havent been this season at home as they live away and all thought it was a good game of football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
futchers briefs Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Put it this way i brought 3 fans who havent been this season at home as they live away and all thought it was a good game of football There's been many, many worse served up that's for sure. Carlisle are a decent side, with some good footballers, who defended very well. I thought we dominated for the main, without creating many clear chances. They are a better side than their position suggests and I'd be very surprised if they're involved in fighting relegation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
real Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 0-0 enough said Well, you've confirmed it. Your ability to analyse a football match begins and ends with the scoreline. So, a 3-0 victory with 3 own goals scored by a defender in his own penalty box with no oppostition players in the same half, all scored in the first 90 seconds, followed by 88.5 minutes where the ball never gets into either penalty box and goes out for a throw due to inept passing every 10 seconds would be a better game? You're not worth the electrons your comments use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EASTLEY Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 Perhaps the doubters should maybe look at the stats provided by Harry Dowd on the home form to put some perspective as to where we are. Who wouldn't have taken 5th going into the new year back at the beginning of August? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnny punkster Posted December 28, 2008 Share Posted December 28, 2008 the frustrating thing is that latics haven't had a convincing win at home since scunthorpe..ok we beat wallsall,but hardly convincing. so since start of nov...1 home wins in 6 attempts. the TTA won't be liking that statistic one bit...why? because the more fickle oldham public won't return to BP if we arn't winning-simple as. oldham athletic rely on home attendances and associated revenues...if our home form is lousy,the floaters won't come. it may be football to us,but to TTA revenue plays as much a major part. our away form is excellent,i just wish things could change.
