No words for this really. Crazy that a 21 year old could be in that head space.

- 5th in the League

- Arguments about which strikers are the best rather than the worst

- Having the best defender in the League

- Josh Lundstram's improvement

- Massive away followings

- Positive atmosphere at home

- Mikey's cult hero status

- Fan bar

- The Athleticos

- Frank and Darren being visible, approachable and present. 

- Having the right manager in place.

Great bunch of lads...

Pro footballers often get stick for their attitude given the money they can earn (not so much at NL level) but these kinds of stories deserve more publicity if the players are happy to allow it. What a wonderful thing to do, hope the young lad continues to get better.

Bad man, that did make me chuckle though.

From 25 minutes in Scunthorpe - Oldham. Well behaved fans. Winning a game.

[JoeP]

Whatever you think of Tom Conlon as a player, he puts a shift in for Latics community activities.  Manny Monthe too.

 

Conlon was at the kids Christmas party last night, was involved in the article earlier in the thread, visited the kids ward in the hospital.  Leads by example.

 

They've all been superb on that front, to be fair with the Carol concert at the church, etc.

Imaginative ticket promotions to encourage more fans to get down to BP.

I'll be taking up the flex ticket, albeit with some puzzlement about how it works in terms of allocated seating

Perhaps you’ll have to enter the barcode and choose your seat on line?

Just sit in my seat, that's what usually happens.

Fuck me this is cringe.

healthy debate and challenge is the foundation of a progressive society.

 

There is no such thing as unfettered positivity. By definition, it does not, can not and should not exist

There we have it...... nice whilst it lasted.

 

Just for info, freedom of choice, plenty of other subjects in the forum for healthy debate and challenges, whoever set this thread up obviously wanted a change.

 

It can happen just stay off this thread and leave the ones who wanted a positive only chat here (although I do agree unfettered positivity is difficult  ).

 

I have a feeling the person who set it up was experimenting to see how far he got before a post like yours arrived.

The nazis have their critics, but you can't but respect their unfettered positivity.

It's a wonderful example of Godwins law certainly.

 

The amount of posts on this board complaining about debate being stifled is getting frustrating. The main thrust of this seems to be a belief that all opinions carry the same weight they don't. Some are based on hunches and some are based more towards the evidence. Those that are closer to reality carry more weight.

 

It's getting frustrating watching other posters lecturing others how debate works we all know how debate works on here it's fine we don't need to be told that. If you are having to use freedom of speech to defend your position then you're point is weak and you are losing the argument.

 

Anyway back to the point of this thread

 

- Good to see the players getting their hands in with the junior Latics Christmas party last night. We have a good group who are not just delivering on the pitch but also seem to want get involved of the pitch too.

- We can all trust the board and owners to do the right thing by the club

- We can trust the Msmagercand coaching team who have won promotions to keep everyone focused in the second half of the season.

 

It's a good time to support our club at the moment everything is pointing in the right direction, and for that reason their isn't alot to debate at the moment ironically.
