During the game we should be supporting our team only. He's an opposition player, booing him doesn't mean you're not grateful for his time at Latics.

Oh Heck C-Beck Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Why can people not sing songs for their favourite ex players? Or is that only allowed for those old enough to witness the Royle era? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Latics_Fanatic Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Personally, i think it's a little embarrassing. And i have every right to feel that way. Depends who. I think it makes more sense for a retired professional, like Ritchie, Palmer etc. However, singing Jose Baxter Baby is just daft, although i'll admit i still sing the lines instinctively when the Human League are on!

I'm with you there, Baxter's hardly a legend is he? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GlossopLatic Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I applauded him when he came over to take a corner and the end of the game I didn't join in with the jose Baxter chants during the game as I just felt that went too far. Their was someone infront off who gave him a volley of abuse at the final whistle which I found weird really. I had no problem with people giving grief to Chris porter but Baxter does deserve some appreciation for his time here the way porter left the club means he doesn't. Some ex players deserve a good reception when they play against a former club. Jose is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OAFC_Ryan Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 He had one good season in a side that was nearly relegated and people are singing his name as if he is some kind of legend. Fair enough if he was part of a side that achieved success and was here long term. Too far in my opinion, back your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daniel Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I clapped him in the first half when he took a corner, then at full time, i refuse to sing another players name, i appreciate what he did but he no longer plays for us so ive no need to sing his name!

Ironically this season could be a repeat just reading their message board they all think he was the only player to come out of yesterday's game with any credit It will be another season in this division for them and even then they will need to splash some of the Saudi cash. Firstly to replace the utterly useless Chris Porter who is knowhere near the player we had when he was here lanzoni owned him all game.

nzlatic Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 (edited) I think it shows how dismal the last few years have been that we're singing opposition players names for nothing. Yes he was a quality player in a poor team and I loved watching him, yes he respected the club and the fans and appreciated the chance he got here. But he achieved precisely fook all so not really worthy of all the chanting in my view. Edited December 27, 2013 by nzlatic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magic Mikey Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I think there is particular affection for Baxter because of the way he conducted himself off the field, especially signing in January, which resulted in us getting a fee. Yesterday's chanting of his name really helped stick it to Porter, "Baxter is an Oldham fan" was aimed at the Blunts. I had no problem with it, and applauded him when he took corners on the left.

You'll never beat Mark Innes, You'll never beat Mark Innes. Dean Holden woah, Dean Holden woah, He plays at centre-back, I'd love to have him back.
