oafc-benn Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/26230166 Tranmere have suspended manager Ronnie Moore, pending the conclusion of a Football Association investigation into a potential breach of betting rules. It is understood the allegation relates to regulations which prevent him from betting on any competition in which his club is involved. The FA has neither confirmed nor denied that Moore was the subject of an investigation by its integrity unit.
oafc-latics Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Shouldn't laugh, especially seeing as we've had to sack a player for worse... ...but... :laught30: :laught30: :laught30: :laught30: :laught30:
LeylandLatic Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Eh? I thought the same. I've always thought of Ronnie to be a bit of a cartoon villian...
blueatheart Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 I thought the same. I've always thought of Ronnie to be a bit of a cartoon villian... I think he's a knob. The same kind of knob that Megson is. Not quite as bad as Steve Evans but better at it than Phil Brown.
Latics_Fanatic Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Shame. Always look forward to the annual Anti Ronnie Moore chants.
lalalajpkalala Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 If he's innocent I hope he's found innocent, and vice versa. I respect the guy as a manger. I've always thought he's shown a fair amount of class since he left here given the dogs abuse we give him and his family (and don't get me wrong, I'm the first to join in, it's great fun). As someone mentioned above, he's a pantomime villain and he's good value. What will be will be.
blueatheart Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Shame. Always look forward to the annual Anti Ronnie Moore chants. Oooooooo Ronnie woah Oooooooo Ronnie woah He acts just like a clown He's bet they're going down Repeat to fade.
ShireBlue Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Oooooooo Ronnie woah Oooooooo Ronnie woah He acts just like a clown He's bet they're going down Repeat to fade. This.
leeslover Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 Ian Moore Ian Moore Your Dad's bets are winners Your Mothers' less sure
Lee Sinnott Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 He's alright, Ronnie. We love to give him grief and he takes it in good spirits. One of the games characters...
jsslatic Posted February 17, 2014 Posted February 17, 2014 In the glut of boring fixtures after seventeen years at this level, playing Ronnie's lot at least gives us something more interesting a couple of times a season.
peanuts Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 cant help thinking this may gee their players up to "do it for ronnie " or we may fall victim to the caretaker manager curse ?
OAFC_Ryan Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 (edited) Matt Chambers' tweets sum it up for me, the football league are complete hypocrites. Edited February 18, 2014 by OAFC_Ryan
leeslover Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 cant help thinking this may gee their players up to "do it for ronnie " or we may fall victim to the caretaker manager curse ?Surely if they want to do it for Ronnie they'll be missing sitters and scoring own goals?
beag_teeets Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 He's alright, Ronnie. We love to give him grief and he takes it in good spirits. One of the games characters... I really don't like him as a person but I agree with you, he is an old school football man and knows that he is either going to get it or be worshipped at his former clubs. It is all part of the game and long may it continue. If you hold a mirror up to Latics you see Tranmere, it is like that episode of Father Ted when Father Ted is slagging off the other parochial house and the camera cuts to that house and it is identical to his own. They have two big clubs on their doorstep like we do, they have had brief moments in the sun and hard times, as have we. Their fans, like ours could easily jump ship to support one of the bigger clubs and have a probably more enjoyable footballing existence but through dumbness, pigheadness or addiction they, like us stay with their miserable little 3rd division club. The games with Tranmere are some of the only games where there has been a bit of proper needle and it felt like something was at stake, now Ronnie has gone , albeit temporarily something has gone from the upcoming game.

True that. But surely we can come up with a witty ditty to sing? If not then Wheres your Ronnie gone? should do it.
beag_teeets Posted February 18, 2014 Posted February 18, 2014 True that. But surely we can come up with a witty ditty to sing? If not then Wheres your Ronnie gone? should do it. Indeedy. Or the one on the other page about Ronnie knowing the score was quite good. You could then list their players who were linked with the Montano unpleasantness as well for good measure.
