Simoncorneyisgod Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 My missus is a Liverpool ST holder and Bro in Law a bitter blue so I've had a good few times over the years Bought The Sun once and took it home early in our relationship.......if you've never lived over this way you will never really quite understand the detest for it........never bought it since Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeroyboy Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 My wife watches the BBC results programme religiously. Her only interest is the Oldham score and she rarely dosn't know it when I arrive home from a Saturday game. So, I quite confidently just asked her the question. 'errr,..... is it champion something?..... Brain now working overtime. errr, champion1... is it?' I'm quite stunned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaddySmoker Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 (edited) My Mrs has a notification app thingy. When I arrive home she can then say 'I see they lost again!' 'Eff off' Makes for a quiet Saturday night watching TV Edited March 21, 2016 by ChaddySmoker Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L1onheartNew Posted March 21, 2016 Share Posted March 21, 2016 They lost again don't know why you bother This. The Brisbane Lions AFL team are equally as shocking as Latics. Both fuel her fire for the Sunday roast! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris_ktf Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 She doesn't even ask anymore. A while back I came in and said 'are you not going ask how we got on' 'I jus presumed you lost.' We had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stagger Lee Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The wife always knew which division Andy Gorams arse was in - the top division! The exclamation 'brace yourself Shelia Oldham ( or Saint George Rugby League ) have won' does not seem to get the same response as 30 years ago though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
philliggi Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I get one of 2 responses Makes a change If we win. They always lose I we lose. She won't come. Never will do. Her bro and dad are season ticket holders at it so she pretends she's a plastic red but in truth she ain't got the foggiest about football Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Richard Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My wife has more Boundary park game minutes than I have and has held an ST for longer than me. She has missed most of this season due to a bad pregnancy but is probably the biggest female Oldham nut I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 I get unrelenting pity and sympathy, win, lose or draw. Never really thought about it before but maybe Mrs 24 is really pitying football itself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Much of this fits perfectly if it was my dad. Not so much for my intended. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magister Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 In 1976 her indoors came to her first home game. We won 2-0. The week after we went to Huddersfield. When they scored first she asked why I was not cheering. I patiently pointed out it was not us who had scored...." I don't understand" she said " you cheered when the Blues scored last week !" .......we are still at the same first base today when it comes to understanding football, hence we have a soap TV set and a Sky Sports set in the back room Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted March 22, 2016 Author Share Posted March 22, 2016 (edited) Much of this fits perfectly if it was my dad. Not so much for my intended. Good point, with hindsight maybe I should have entitled it something like 'Your beloved and Oldham Athletic.

NewBlue Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Go to my nanas house after home games. Her stock response is always 'should never have gotten rid of Johnson'. She's got a point... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rvlatic Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 The only thing my wife remembers about her visit to a game is the cone of chips she had! (Accrington Stanley in the paint pot a few years ago) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Break The Silence Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My wife lost interest when Andy Holt left us, well Andy Holt's legs to be more specific. We bumped into him at Manchester Airport a couple of years back and she nearly fainted ha ha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevie_J Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 My wife's a geordie, who hates football. She's from the only geordie family I know where even the blokes aren't interested in football. She's always very nice about the fact that Latics are :censored: though. My eldest son said to me at the weekend, "Oldham used to be good, didn't they dad? But now they're rubbish." Yep, that pretty much sums it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
