boundaryblue80 Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 You beat me to it Dean...Was about to say the same. Was very happy to see Neal give it back...used to be of the ilk that players shouldn't respond but when it's as brainless and as direct as that abuse was, it's totally out of order. Does absolutely no good whatsoever...there's no possible reason why it would help so why do it. The group of them were pathetic! Glad Neal told him what he thought!

Glad he did that. He had a poor game I thought, made a few simple errors but once again, he's jumped on straight away. I even heard Windass cop for some abuse, he cant even get his debut out of the way. Then some - 'Just popping to my first (and last) game of the season' bloke started complaining about the crowd. Lets put it this way, he may have been before this season, but he hasnt sat anywhere near me before. Grrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets put it this way, he may have been before this season, but he hasnt sat anywhere near me before. Grrrr first half we was fine,played some decent balls good positioning and distribution only a couple of his trademark off cue passes.. second half it was like somebody had swapped bodies....hartlepool sussed it straight away that he was the weak link and ran it at him all half....he could of stopped it by putting in trademark block tackles and not letting them get past him,but he didnt.... the only abuse i heard was about 5 or 6 people saying for gods sake neal tackle the bloody guy,clear it....then i saw him mouth something 4 or 5 times then gesture.... for me he shouldnt have done it,no matter how much stick you get you dont cross that line and bring yourself down to others level....rise above it,put a few good tackles in,win the ball,create a few openings and they will soon be cheering again... now he has done it and gave it back he can expect plaenty more of the same,where as if he hadnt responded he would be fine.

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 The thing is, he makes errors, but they are very rarely defensive errors. He's solid at the back, his passing might be crap but if he had a better cross then he really wouldn't be playing for us. Neal, solid at the back as ever.....more than I can say about Lomax, who these Eardley boo boys think is 100x better than Neal when that's really not the case. Lomax does make defensive errors, quite a lot, but doesn't get punished for them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoytonBlueLad Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Neal, solid at the back as ever. I am a fan but tonight he was not solid as ever. I think he'd admit as much himself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beag_teeets Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 now he has done it and gave it back he can expect plaenty more of the same,where as if he hadnt responded he would be fine. That's a load of hairy danglies. The abuse he gets is out of order, only 20 or 21 and if he ties his boots with one lace shorter than the other he gets abuse. I've said it before and I'll say it again - Chris Makin. Not good enough for some Latics fans yet since leaving us he played at least one league higher up, usually 2 leagues.

Lomax does make defensive errors, quite a lot, but doesn't get punished for them. I thought Eards had a decent game today, he looked dangerous going forward in the 1st half. I think he was let down by smalley in the 2nd half whose concentration went out of the window in the latter stages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 now he has done it and gave it back he can expect plaenty more of the same,where as if he hadnt responded he would be fine. Is that a whoosh? He gets 100% :censored: week in week out from certain people who can't wait for him to get something wrong. He could be MOM 5 games running and there would be people waiting for his first bad pass to start it off again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wozz_oafc Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Eardley is ten times the player Lomax can ever hope to be. Didnt think Eardley was too bad at all today and there was very little abuse directed towards him from my section which is unusual so its sad to hear he was still getting abused from others. Its quite sad the amount of abuse our so called fans give one of our best young players. There is certainly room for improvement in Eardleys, game, and yes he does make mistakes, but surely anyone with an ounce of football knowledge can see that Eardley has the talent, which if nutured correctly will lead to him having a very succesful career. Probably at a higher level than we are likely to achieve. Thats why he attracts the interest and Lomax doesnt. Lomax for me is fulfilling his potential here at Oldham, Eardley can go a lot further. It is astonishing the amount of crap that gets spouted by many in the crowd from those who think they know it all. I for one am proud that a club like ours can produce players of Eardley and Taylors quality and think we should get behind them as much as possible with the hope that they can carry on improving here which will benefit us not only now but in the future if we manage to sell them on for big transfer fees.

Tommy_Fent Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 imagine if Eardley had been the one who scored the own goal? To be fair the whole anti-Neal Eardley brigade is so bad at times it's hillarious Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chadbarmy Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 I was sat virtually to the side of the gentlemen who gave Neil the hairdryer treatment and I have got to say it was totally out of character for him. Whats even more alarming is that these individuals are grown up season ticket holders not the usual little chav feckers. I agree with most in this thread 'that this does not help his confidence' and god knows I think Neil is finding his way back to form......but I can't help thinking Neil should not direct a feck off (3 times over a 5 min period) at the left hand side of Chaddy without recieving a tirade of abuse back. I certainly do not condone this but he just needs to keep his head down and finish the job. Did anyone see Greegs rant at Neil for allowing the winger past him for their goal................i am convince this is a catalyst for the the mindless few in the crowd. Message for Neil, keep your head up son and keep demanding the football..........only brave players want to play football from the back when the chips are down.

beag_teeets Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 like i said first half he was solid,second he wasnt,but wouldnt put a tackle in and didnt help himself.... Sorry Ed, not getting at you, nowt personal or anything but that is bollocks, he did tackle second half, that sliding one where he even managed to win the throw too - thats just off the top of my head but I'm sure their were more. You said either on this thread or another that Eardley left Hazell exposed well Smalley left Eardley exposed too - Deano's job is to attack but it does leave the FB with a lot of work to do. I like Deano and he will develop into a good player but some of his defending and choice of which man to cover did leave Neal with a lot of work to do. But, we got the points, Deano got on the scoresheet and looked a different player after his goal, Shez should put his arm round him this week in training and big him up, looks like a kid who just needs a break to break out of his shell and become the player he can be. Another game that Eards and Deano have under their belt together, a few more and they will get a good partnership going, Deano will make better defensive decisions and Eards will play better balls for Deano to run on to.

slurms mckenzie Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Didn't see any abuse of Eardley, nor did I see him giving it back. I like him generally, but he was poor second half - their number 19 skinned him 3 or 4 times and was their best player by a mile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, he gets it every game anyway and as someone else said, it takes a brave man to try and play footie from the back under the abuse he gets. Both sides are wrong and no one in Blue should get abuse at BP but I full understand why Neal reacted and personally don't blame him, surprised it hasn't been done sooner.

garcon Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Eardley had an excellent first half for me, along with several others. But he suffered with the nerves as much as the rest second half. Singling him out for abuse and for a poor second half is ludicrous though - he was no worse than several other players. Strikes me we have plenty of character to come from behind in games, but we're no good at the psychology of holding on to (and building on) a lead.
