I consoled myself last night watching the end of my 90/91 season video (yes I still have a video recorder) to watch the little :censored: Wilson, trying to delay the taking of the penalty, getting booked before Redders slotted it home.

Got me thinking, that penalty put them down to third, they got automatic promotion because the number of teams in the first division was being increased and 4 went up. The Wendies would have played a bang on form Notts County and may well have struggled in the play offs.

In the first year of the play offs we were never out of the top 3 all season (I think) finished third, which would normally have been automatic promotion but we lost out on away goals to Leeds who finished about ninety points behind us.

Add in the semi final defeats to QPR and Cesspool, the play offs have done nothing for us

Half way up the Chaddy towards the main stand.

Like I said, different angle, different opinion. Would be interesting to see it back now.

I've not seen it replayed, but I think he got Simpson's yellow card wrong.

 

Should have been a red.

Where were you sat O4U? I was in the main stand in line with it and it looked a fair 50 50 challenge to me. The linesman right next to it didn't flag for a foul. We see on tv that different angles show incidents in different lights. However the pull back on Obita was UNMISSABLE from any angle and he didn't book him. I am convinced that if those 2 incidents had been reversed we would still have had a Latics player in the book. Bent :censored:!

Not doing the Murray pun, too easy

Just asking as I may have missed that one, they all seem to have been at it. As for Elton he deserved a f*****g, full stop.

Fred Talbot, no idea whatsoever if there was any truth in it, he is currently under investigation for child sex abuse, very unsavoury.

Why? Did Gerald Sinstadt have some dark secrets.

Just apologising for my old reminisces, although there were rumours about Elton Wellbiased and a certain weatherman.

It didn't affect George Best (sometimes).

In the olden days I actually remember one Latics player having a blinder after a few lunchtime drinks before an afternoon match.

I seem to remember Vic Halom on a Kick Off Christmas special talking about playing under the influence one boxing day when the players were convinced the game would be postponed. Good old Gerald Sinstadt (apologies to our younger members)

They look after their own, it would it would probably be a good report.

The way the commentators talk the refs live in fear of the assessors. The Bradford goalie last week for example, common sense would say a yellow card and leave him on the pitch, but the ref can't do that because we are told he would be marked down.

Is there any way of the public seeing what score the assessor has given the ref, or in this case the :censored:? I would pay good money to read that report.

TP on Bouzanis: "an internal matter that has been dealt with". Wouldn't go any further than that.

 

Maybe not a bug

Bouzy boozing perhaps. Common reason why players are disciplined.

Echo all of the thoughts about this ref, not just :censored:, bent. Just before the Simpson penalty that wasn't there was an unmissable shirt pull on Obita, mandatory yellow, the player wasn't even spoken to. Unbelievable.

So you honestly think that all the extra fans were oldham fans? They must all have Saturday jobs and work the odd Tuesday night I guess.

You are now changing your argument. There were certainly fans of other clubs there, Liverpool and Everton in our sections for a start. As I have said in another post I regularly bring Manure and Citeh fans on an extra kid's ST. However I haven't seen any of them singing vigorously for Latics , which was your point originally, or does sitting quietly now constitute create atmosphere?

Oh a drum

Me like drum

Drum help me sing and do clap clap

Oooh you don't like drum

You no like sing and clap clap

You miserable bastard

You must move to: A) Another stand B ) a library C) a Manchester club.

No. I saw no evidence at all of that. Just about everybody singing their heads off near me were in Latics colours. If it was "mostly" down to these imported fans there must have been loads of them. Very strange behaviour to sing for another club.

Or are you just talking bollocks? Tough one.

Ok I'm sorry for not being factual. They were supporters of other teams and not just city and united. I really don't understand why people moan about having a drum at a match. If you don't like it there are plenty of other seats about. Or bring your Radio so you can drown out any kind of support for the team.

Which games are you talking about where, in the absence of the mighty drum, a brilliant atmosphere was enhanced by the supporters of other clubs? I've been to every home game bar boxing day and it has passed me by.

So the plan for tomorrow is Lewis in the small bit of the RRE accompanied by Ben on the drum, racking up the atmosphere. The knuckle draggers from over the pennines won't know what's hit 'em.

I am with Rummy it is a tough game and could go either way but we have all seen the inconsistent inconsistency especially against clubs up the division. April is the key month.

Sorry Hallam, I think that we have been consistent with our inconsistency, at least some if not all of the time, on occasion.

The flag dangled down in front of us in the lower tier, looked like it needed a wash.

I would be the 9th person on this thread. D'oh

 

 

They are taking the trolling to some next level where only the sarcastic elite can enter. Don't worry

Or having a bit of a laugh.

No one near me seem to be enthusiastic about supporting the team and I can hear my own voice as we sang. Not the loudest near me by far. There was periods in the ground there wasn't much noise at all. The loudest has got to be Everton at home. Just my honest opinion.

Where you the one with his balaclava on back to front?

Are people for real? He hardly did anything wrong there. If we played brazil and lost 1-0 I'm pretty sure people would still find something to moan about.

I would say that iwelumo should never of started though. He shouldn't ever play again.

Whooooooooooooooooooooosh

Got it wrong tonight... Out of his depth.... Needs to go now.

I've been saying this for months. Corney you need to act now!!!

I have. Used mum's address

Just back home. Brew then bed. Glad the atmosphere came across on the box. Bloke with his top off near us in LV section was feeling no pain. Wouldn't like his head in the morning.

Michael Oliver odious little pre pubescent :censored:, and that's just what my ten year old thought. Need everything to go your way in these games. We played against 12 tonight.

I don't think Murray can play. He has already played for another club this season, and the rules say that you can't play for 2 clubs in the cup in the same season.
