stargazer Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 This has killed us all season . Also our club Captain comes on with 4 minutes to go and loanee striker not at all . Good job this division is full of awful teams, the Cup form is disappearing quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lags Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 It helps if the ref's give us our fair share of clear decisions. Two stone wall pens turned down. I don't care what anyone say's Latics do not get a fair deal of referee's in general. Why is that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bristolatic Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 You just notice it more because you are an Oldham fan I think. All clubs will get bad decisions But it looks like 5 nailed on penalties in three games and none given. That's extreme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GuyGermanLatic Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Why do people care so much about the ref? We shouldn't even be in a position to have to rely on what the ref does just to justify that fact we might have had a goal. We should be scoring regardless of what he says and how strict he is.

Blu-Blood Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 I agree that every club will get their fair share of dodgy referees but to have so many bad ones in such a short space of time is ridiculous! It's not like these stonewall penalties are being turned down when we are already 3/4-0 down and it won't affect anything....These awful decisions are happening at crucial points of the game and ultimately costing us massively! We shouldn't have to rely on decisions from the refs to get us out of trouble but we have every right to expect a fair and honest performance from them! Something which has been severely lacking in recent weeks. Tuesday is now an enormous game. Refereeing decisions aside, if we lose, I think we will go down! and deservedly so. Hartlepool are :censored:e and if we can't beat them, we deserve to finish in the bottom 4! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc_fan Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Tuesday is now vital, but not having a new manager is not helping because TP wants to go back to his old job. We should have had 2 pens and we never did. I will keep the faith, because we are in with a good chance of staying up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steveoafc Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Smith looks to have gone off with an injury, we need someone to hit some form in front of goal now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_mighty_bosh Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Smith looks to have gone off with an injury, we need someone to hit some form in front of goal now. I think Simpson and Barnard could be a good pairing but I'd revert back to Iwelumo and Barnard. Iwelumo isn't the saviour but 3 wins in the league with him and 2 scoreless defeats without him shows that he had some sort of positive effect.

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Of course all clubs get bad decisions. We just get far more. I doubt it..we just notice them more because we can't score and always lose. If we had won 3 1 today the decisions would be forgotten about. Blaming the ref irks me because this team is failing over and over again. We need to start putting the ball in the net or we will be going down even with the best referees in the world and goal line technology!

disjointed Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Wes had a decent game today, Cracking save from Boozy first half, but that handball at 0-0, how on earth the ref did not see it is beyond me but even more criminal was the fact the liner was bang in line less than 10yards away. Now either the ref has said to the linesmen before the game that he will make all the decisions which is a possibility, as even for throw ins the liners were raising there flags only after the ref had given it. But overall 2 poor sides played out a poor game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stargazer Posted March 9, 2013 Author Share Posted March 9, 2013 This obsession with referees is tiresome. The players are the problem . The effort , desire , will to win that took place against Forest , Doncaster , Liverpool and Everton is sadly lacking from the majority of league games. We are a soft touch and if we don't score the first goal we seem unable to tactically get back into games. This league season of underachievement cannot end too soon , our squad have been hopeless.

4froale Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Poor performance, the pitch played a big part but far too many underhit passes and we gave the ball away to easily. Baxter was poor. Should have had 2 penalties but overall not good enough again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opinions4u Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 We gave it a decent go and but for Weso falling asleep and bizarre refereeing we'd have won. The not always reliable stats suggest we edged the game in many ways. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/21639412 But they scored, we didn't.

Markspark92 Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 For me some of these players don't want to get stuck in when it really matters Baxter being one of them, Simpson could of scored but instead he goes down far to easily throwing his arms in the air expecting a pen, to many went missing today Barnard, Simpson, Croft, Obita, Baxter all dident want to know and that has been the downfall in our league season this year "players only showing up when they feel like it" wonder if Simpson will start playing well again when his contract is about to expire ?

bluehobbit Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 (edited) we just have no idea how to attack teams and little variety. we have Obita with a bit of pace but the other 4 front men are fairly slow Barnard aside and he isnt electic..... At times today we have chances to break but tried to send the ball down the line to er smith. We are negative as a team no one wants to support the forwards even Baxter wasnt getting forward enough today so once again when Smith won a header or held the ball up well as he frequently did he had almsot 0 options. I dont think Barnard didnt want to know i just think he had a bad day at the office anything he tried just didnt come off. Simpson has been woeful all season and when he came on all he did was jump into people - didnt win a header once he came on Baxter isnt working in the middle he was poor again, Obitia barley touched the ball and was generally poor. We started slowly but managed to battle into the game without being convincing and as soon as we started to get them under pressure they looked poor but we dont make enough of our possesion we dont get quality crosses into the box often or quick enough.... Our build up play is slow and laboured and I just dont know we correct that at this stage of the season. If smith is out Tuesday i really do worry we will play route one to Simspon who just isnt up to it.

HarryBosch Posted March 9, 2013 Share Posted March 9, 2013 Brian McDermott had a cracking quote about the game today. "Good teams remove the man who makes decisions from the equation." Really makes sense. But we're not a good team so we need the man who makes decisions to make them correctly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
