bigfatjoe1 Posted December 21, 2019 Share Posted December 21, 2019 Moore? Seriously. crook. Corney - death by a thousand cuts and dodgy deals. Al - clown. For me, they've all been shit but in different ways. The current owner had a model that's taken us onto a whole different level, but we were getting ever closer under Corney. Anyway, a different question. Does anybody know how much money each of our previous (and present) owners invested/lost in/on the club? I haven't a clue, but it would an interesting comparison.

Hands on Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Shouldn’t we have had an uncontested drop rather than giving ball to Crawley? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the ball hits an official on the field of play the drop ball is uncontested and given to the team that last had possession. Law change for this season I thought a Latics player had last kicked it and if so we should have had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OLDHAMADE Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 All I can say is, have a wonderful Christmas with your friends and family. Hope the players don't get too stuffed on turkey and that every one connected with the club, are as one come Boxing day. The new manager at Morecambe has got em in training on Christmas day and after that game of two halves against Newport yesterday, this game is going to be far tougher than it would have been a few weeks back. Safe journey over to the seaside and I'll revel in the sound of OWTB ringing out around the Globe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diego_Sideburns Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 I've only been to one away game (Gateshead) and it's the first League game I've attended since the home win against Walsall. Do I bring luck with me or was it the owl which flew across the front of the Joe Royle Stand during the first half? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCann and Maouche were a different class.. ive been critical of Maouche this season, but not today the ball sticks to his foot when hes in possession seems a little effortless.. You can tell McCann has played the game at a higher level very composed and again his ball control and anticipation are 2nd to none, we did well to bring him in... A win is a win. And to come back from one down is doubly pleasing. it wasn’t a great match despite both side creating a large number of chances. The final score could have been much higher if both sets of forwards had had more composure in front of goal. The work rate from Latics was high but the urgency was once again lacking. The team still appears to be playing with a fear of making mistakes - which leads to cautious and sometimes dull play. Defensively we we played well but there is too much backing off when opposing forwards (or fullbacks) run at us. This led to Crawley taking the lead. However it was a dogged performance at the back with Iacovitti the standout performer for me. In the midfield there were good performances from the four - Sylla made a huge difference breaking up play, Smith was a constant threat (how good he would be if he improved his crossing of the ball), McCann is a classy player and Maouche had a good game, though he did get caught in possession too often yesterday; but he took his goal well. And then there is our strike force...Azankpo worked hard as usual but missed two good chances. Akpro was clearly not well and was rightly subbed early on with Wilson improving as the game developed. Maybe his pass to our mercurial No.10 should have been cut out by the Crawley defender but he did well to spot the run all the same. On to Morecambe.

If you want to bury your head in the sand and think everything is fine then you go and do that. Ill just look at whats actually going on at the football club a win over Crawley changes very little in the long run. And those who are staying away from BP because of Abdallah will be on here complaining about the lack of quality signings made in jan..

Encouraging thing for me , bounced back 2nd half from being 1-0 down, the desire and attitude aswell as commitment to the cause was there, hats off to dino and Assistant for whatever was said at half time.. I do like Mauoche when he has a game like he did yesterday, and its obvious why Azankpo is picked by Dino and normally plays the full game to.. roll on Morecambe cant wait for it ! merry Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What do you think the gate will be if we win those two games. . Do you think it will bring back the two thousand plus who have drifted away in the last 12/18 months? If by some miracle we went a really a good run, (which would need our strikers to actually score) it still won’t bring people back in any big way. People’s views are to entrenched now. If the status Quo regarding the club continues, we’ll probably finish where we are now. Season tickets sales will hit all time low at the end of the season, and we’ll probably go down next year. our record under AL proves this. *I’m fully expecting your Barry in disguise ‘it’s all the fans fault’ reply.

bigfatjoe1 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Stockport and Tranmere had it pretty rough for a few years. Anybody know what there averages gate were from 2012? Did their fans stay away in the same numbers? i understand why our fans have drifted. It's painful, but it would be interesting to see how similar clubs have done in terms of averages. Are we heading for something far worse? Or did their hard core remain loyal, no matter what the outrage? Interesting to hear the discussions pre Watford-Utd game. Pearson stated that the fans are the club. He was just a manager tasked with helping them with their club. The fans are the club. Hmmm. i agree. I'd say moral outrage is best expressed every home game with vociferous indignation. I haven't heard protest chants at home for a long time, not even what a load rubbish,' sack the board' or 'we're shit and we're sick of it.' Nothing because you're all at home expressing your anger through a keyboard. Wow. Still, best we let the club die peacefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafc1955 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Abdallah has to be made to realise he can’t just do as he pleases with our club. If everyone continued to go to the games then I don’t think anything would change at all. Attendances are down by over 1000 and next season will reduce further! IMO he will simply have to change if he wants to retain ownership but I don’t think he will. I hope PTB have made him sit up and take notice that his statement about the fans being paramount isn’t just lip service it is fact. I’ve been a loyal supporter for 60 years but at this moment in time I have lost nearly all interest. I don’t even celebrate when we score or get upset when we concede. These are killing this club and I just cannot bring myself to financially support them any longer! I didn’t renew my season ticket for this season and will not buy another until they have gone!! ***********ABDALLAH OUT*********** Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
