Tommy_Fent Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Possibly a touchy subject but what sort of reception are they going to get on Saturday? Personally I'll applaud Shez for his efforts with the club even if it did turn sour a bit towards the end as for the players apart from Allott I didn't feel that any of them really did much for us apart from maybe Clarke (and I include the overated Danny Whittaker in that), I bet Trotman gets booed but personally I'm not a fan of booing players I think it's counterproductive Edited November 15, 2011 by Tommy_Fent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Anyone who boos Shez is just so far beyond an idiot that it's not even worth commenting on. Damn it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the_mighty_bosh Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) Shez was my favourite player in the late 90's and on the whole did a good job as manager. He'll always get my applause. As for the rest, I don't think any of them did particularly badly for us. Trotman was poor 2nd time around but hardly warrants a negative reaction.

Lookers_Carl Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 May have ended a bit sourly for him but if only for coming out of retirement to help us when we were in the :censored: in 2003-2004, playing essentially with one good leg with the risk of becoming permanently crippled, he deserves a rousing round of applause. Let alone carrying the team for a good part of the Ritchie years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobOAFC Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Won't boo them, anyone who boo's Shez on saturday will be an idiot. Will also give Trotman an appluase for his man of the match performance for Dale against us Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JonesyOAFC Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Shez will be applauded, and rightly so. One of the best players we've had in the time i've been watching Latics, and there's plenty of fond memories from his time as manager as well. Legend.

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I hope shez gets a great reception. Brilliant servant for the club. He was a great player and nearly a very good manager didnt quite work out for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancy lad Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 I hope all concerned will get a good reception, they all did a decent job for us IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcmad09 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 (edited) He deserves applause. For 2 and a half seasons he was good. He got them the closest to promotion I've ever seen them get.

slystallone Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 As has been said any true Latics fan who boos Shez wants immediately throwing out by the nearest steward - the guys a legend (and that word is so overused nowadays, but not in this case) Apart from the fact he's IMO the best player ive seen play for us, he played for us in our time of need after coming out of retirement and at great personal risk, and then went onto manage us to some ablomb. IMO he should have been given till the end of the season, as it ended a tad sour ans we never got to say thanks in a final game - and he deserved that. On sat, i'll be doing just that, saying thanks.........and anyone i hear booing will be getting the brunt end of my (hungover) vitriol!!! I think out of all the others, they did their best when here so are hardly in the 'i hate them, horrible men, feckin' boo' camp are they? Clutching at straws but if we all get into Trotmans head early doors then maybe we'll see a repeat of his 'Dale performance?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danoafc Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I can't believe we are even discussing the possibility of Shez getting anything other than a fantastic reception! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maddog Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I can't believe we are even discussing the possibility of Shez getting anything other than a fantastic reception! Agreed, but having heard some of the :censored: large sections of our fans give out, it's a sad fact that an across-the-board good reception is not a given.

Stevie_J Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 Shez is one of a handful of Latics legends of this dreadful third-tier era. Huge player, without whom we would have been relegated. Played a big part in the decent Dowie team which should have won promotion. Continued to play, contrary to medical advice, when we were on our arses post-Chris Moore. He then stuck around a coach, went on to manage us and did as good a job as anyone else has since TTA arrived. Events conspired against him a little leading up to his dismissal, which was ill-timed, and he had his shortcomings tactically and was guilty of some errors of judgment (night at the dogs, etc.) but he made a good fist of it. Like others have said, anyone who boos him is a complete dick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zorrro Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I wonder how many of you will be saying this on Saturday night when they've won and he's celebrated in front of the Chaddy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pukka Posted November 16, 2011 Share Posted November 16, 2011 I wouldn't be pleased, but I can't imagine anyone being that disrespectful after an ovation. Lee Hughes got a clap (not by myself, he didn't get boo'd either) and Shez did Mountains more for the club than him./ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't actually being serious, hence my first post in the exchange containing a winky thing. Using your logic, though, we should only discuss FACTS.
