She turned round to me and asked if would be better to have Lee in the midfield battling away rather than being on the touchline. I was thinking of all the pro's and cons in the second half, my own thoughts would be to have him in the starting 11.

If my said anything like that to me I would be saying "who are you and what have you done with my wife? "

Shame Harry Butterworth is no longer with us. He would put us all straight on all things chippy.

I've put a more detailed response to the allegations on the blog section of the site.

Thanks for that.

 

 

I quite liked the way he's written that.

 

Although using the word ubiquitous was a bit unnecessary.

Yes, that word is appearing everywhere.

 

Slow down a little, fish and gravy is what makes a man of you.

Stop! Stop it now. This is the thin end of the wedge. If we don't watch it we'll have ultras coming over adding mayonnaise, and then what? I wouldn't be surprised to see those darned Asians putting curry sauce on.

 

Absolutely nothing wrong with Cheesy chips; it's a very good late night post drinking snack. (Albeit a not very healthy one). It's no Parmo though.

I put these people in the same envelope as those who put gravy on fish. Fish moistness comes from mushy peas. FACT.

In a Scarborough chippy yesterday. Somebody having cheese on their chips. These people are sick.

A celebrity says he supports Oldham and doesn't go?! Are we really that bothered fair play to him for still making it public he loves The Latics it doesn't do our name any harm! Good on you Brian!!

I like Coxy, as a true fan he knows there is no definite article in our nickname. DEFINITE FACT.

i will be there. must win game.

This could turn into a very long and repetitive thread.

I'm interrupting my holiday in Scarborough to be there. No competition really.

Haha, in one sense you're right but it just appeared the tactic was to try and have them relieve the pressure by lumping it long to them so the could use their strength and height to hold the ball up....problem is, neither are good enough to do that

Furry muff, I still think his intent was to win. In his GMR interview he bemoaned the lack of physical and mental fitness that prevented us getting down to their box as a team.

I thought we were pretty poor today, lots of misplaced passes, nothing much upfront and left their players unmarked so many times in the second half it was untrue...they could/should have scored 4 after the break.

 

Baxter had a poor game I thought and Tarky and Brown do not inspire a huge amount of confidence at the back.

 

Big Jean was immense as always, winning everything in the air but the back four continue to provide the opposition with chances as they just don't seem to talk to each other.

 

I don't think if I've ever seen a player as happy/relieved to have scored as Barnard and the way the squad celebrated with him said a lot about how his efforts are appreciated.

 

LJ pretty well gave up on any idea of trying to win the game by bringing on Iweliumo and Smith who managed to win not a single header between them and we were desperately hanging on for the final whistle

 

In the end you have to say its a good point won but its yet another reminder of what a poor, poor division this is if Swindon are anywhere near automatic promotion.

I wasn't at the game, but I don't see how bringing on 2 strikers is giving up on trying to win the game, quite the opposite.

Fantastic point, well done boys. Bloody Rooney overhead kick (I've heard that somewhere before). Can someone explain to me why raising your foot slightly is dangerous play, but kicking 6 foot in the air is fine? Great skill, spectacular, but surely dangerous.

They're all cup finals but let's just take every game as it comes.

Having been at the game I wondered what your observations were of the alleged racist chanting. I could hear his name on the telly but didn't make out the full chant. I can see the England fans being angry at him turning his back on his country, but not to turn to that. If anything I would think the Ferdinands are supported by the fans, with the notable exception of Chelsea.

Bloody forriners, comin' over 'ere, tekin' us football clubs!

 

*Just reading through some of the previous posts, :censored:ing hell this is one drab crowd.

 

St. Pauli and the IRA... What the actual :censored: are you on about?

There appears to be a link between Celtic and St Pauli (when do they find time to support their own club?) So it is feasible IRA sympathetic chants could arise, especially if they are copying the chant not knowing the meaning.

God struth, and I get grief for my taste in music .

Oldham's premier pop combo (after The Tinkers obviously)

Boon army....... oh, wrong Clint.

Ha ha, you teachers just can't switch off eh MM? You must be appalled at some of the spelling and grammar on here. Detention all around .

 

 

PS. I'm going to a 1970's fancy dress part tonight. Can I borrow your tweed jacket and sandals?

I am just against homophonia, the BBC are doing a straw poll at BP on Monday for an article on homophonia in football, it is particularly bad in small northern towns apparently.

I'll get the jacket over to you, I just need to put some dubbin on the elbow patches.

Just been told to pass a message on so here it is...

 

" St Pauli should not be tolerated in Oldham, they sing song's in support of the IRA, we should not support them and there attempts to impose communist views at Oldham games "

 

Don't shoot the messenger

 

Further more I have been informed St Pauli have links with FC United

Apologies if I missed it, but do we have a link with St Pauli beyond one ex pat with a political axe to grind and a mission to impose his favoured style of support on a club he doesn't even frequently attend?

Let's all remember "win or lose let's have a booze and if a draw let's have some more" come on the blues

In the early nineties our post match drink was always in the Dog and Partridge in Springhead. The landlady used to put free sausages on the bar. Our motto then was "win or lose have a sausage" . Until the health and safety nazis banned it (the free sausages, not the motto)

Had to find something else to do in there.

Enjoy. I booked to see the Inspirational Staircarpets at the Ritz tonight when it was a Saturday fixture.

There will hopefully be somebody Directing Traffic on the magic roundabout (named after me!) We may have the Biggest Mountain to climb, we don't have Joe to lead us but whatever the result it won't be Dragging Me Down, I won't be crying 96 Tears which is How it Should be.

I'll get me coat.....

Beat me to it. I was only ten but those Southport games stand out in my memory. The away game was amazing I remember being on the funfair and seeing half of my class on there. Grass bank behind the goal, and I think it was the game where Grovesy kicked the ball against a hoarding, missed, and smacked a kid in the face, happy days.

I was too young for Brizzle, but an older tick once reminisced about it to me, a load of them went down and slept in a Transit van, he said the next morning it stank of beer, farts, B.O. and Brut.......ah if you could bottle that.

Hope that PD gets a job back in football again soon.

Scunthorpe, Colchester or Shrewsbury?

I'm all for it, role on monday

What role do you have on Monday?

But we all no Leeds fans know nothing being a small failing club in Yorkshire.

Harsh, they are bound to find it difficult competing with all of the Yarkshire premier league clubs.

And then put Adrian Chiles back in, then brick it.

I like him, he's a genuine passionate fan. Missed an interview for the Watchdog presenter to go and watch the Baggies play at Tranmere. His book following a season watching West Brom, accompanying different fans at each game, is a great read.
