you have gone a season without missing a first team game

joined junior latics to be allowed by parents to go to leeds away

gone further than Birmingham on a midweek away game

fell out with the other half over a latics trip

owned a yard dog

having won at Barnsley in August of the Promotion year, calcuulated if we were safe yet

been pictured in a newspaper on the pitch in the cup year.

possessing Joe Royle's autobiography.

attending pre season friendlies

witnessing a loss at Ewood park(b**tards), when did we ever win there

not remembering a result due to alcohol intake(my main one scum at wembley)shouldn't have started drinking later than 7am thought we had won

being punched by an apposing tw*t (west ham 1990) worth it though

arriving at the wrong ground on a Barlows coach(1991 QPR arrived at carven cottage)

been refused entry to a pub whilst wearing a Latics top

Being trampled on whilst celebrating a goal in the chaddy

Thinking Neil Redfearn would probably miss that penalty

Still thinking Denis Irwin is Judas

Knowing that no matter what you will die a tic

Funny you should ask Bob.

 

I had my name chanted in the Chaddy End after fumbling the ball repeatedly behind the goal before eventually giving it to Roy Carrol (Wigan). To his credit he saw the funny side and, in spite of the chanting, the ref didn't add on any additional time.

 

I had my picture taken with the team in the Isle of Man.

Your not a proper tic untill youve had a kick about with john halworth and a young chriss taylor then raced john hallworth all the way to hilton park services after giving him a jump start for his flat battery

nor are you a proper tic if you havent got drunk with andy goram during a rain break whilst playing against him at cricket then had to lend him some shoes after someone nails his to the dressing room floor whilst he sleeps of the ale !

And again you cant be a proper tic if you havent arrived at filbert st at half time due to sullys booze cruiser breaking down again !

You're not proper Oldham if u didnt endure the coach home from Norwich on relegation from the Prem day because it was still mathematically possible to stay up..... when i say mathematically possible the love child of Carol Vorderman and Stephen Hawking might have managed to work it out..... but you went anyway.

 

You're not proper Oldham if u havent clung to the rear fence in the chaddy that seperated us from the wooden section but wasnt high enough to prevent everybody throwing their litter and cig butts under the stand anyway (deep breath) and twisted your ankle juming off again.

 

You're not proper Oldham unless the Barlows coach you went on that day at Norwich had a blow out on the way back and you sang "going down" as the tyre deflated and then had to sit in the aisle of another coach all the way back home! :grin:

This is, perhaps predictably, starting to turn into "you're not a proper Latic unless you've been on the piss with an Oldham goalie", isn't it?

No no no no no no no no, er, yes. A bit. :grin:

 

I'm awaiting the story of helping a Latics goalkeeper try and blow up a law abiding establishment :grin:

I just happened to be coincidentally in the same bar at the same time, occifer... :unsure:
