Bet it was Barry's idea.

that and the fact that there is no mention of the price and it says complimentary on the voucher!! Only Latics......

Humiliated on National TV and lost a lot of local face. Might have been understandable if they had been doing any better before Murray arrived but they hadn't.

I remember the first time he took a penalty pre match into an open goal and hit the bar and everybody laughed. they didn't when he repeated the trick

Ok that's sorted so what can we talk about now? Did we have a game this weekend?

Fair enough but I bet house prices are going up and if you have a teaspoon of sherbert dip a day it will reduce your chances of developing Alzheimer's.

Well let's hope he can crack the 'enigma' that is Dominic Poleon Damned fine poster that though, well done!

Third interview I've read on this site and each one has been excellent. Ex Latics player who I remember well even though we are never mentioned in the interview , the honesty and openness are very touching and informative. Well worth keeping an eye on this site.

Dale 1 Latics 3 (ht 0-2) Forte 5,398

And Tyson who may now be fifth choice was on the bench for 2 league games at the back end of last month.

well i'm surprised at that. I assume he starts on Saturday then and Etheridge is shelved after one game. LJ obviously not happy with Chub's recent performances.

Have the Matt Smith and O'Grady ones been confirmed as i can't see them anywhere?

Dale have signed Tomas Cywka on loan. Highly promising on loan for us back in the day, never kicked on though.

If memory serves darlo at home in the league cup early round won 4-0, maybe 1988 ish? A couple of days after the game I was in the club shop and he was in asking the staff directions to the town centre as he needed a cash point so I gave him a lift to the Halifax ( on yorkshire street?) Latics claim to fame

Don't think we sat deep. We scored the goals because we risked playing 2 wide speedsters behind their wing backs , they then changed to a back 4 and we had less space. For me the issue with the squad is that it is deep enough for us to have a decent enough replacement for nearly every player but the team can only cope with 2 or 3 max at any given time. Play more than that and we are really weakened which I think was self evident tonight. I don't think any of the 3 that went off were particularly poor (pole on was far worse) but together they drained the team

Didn't know Glyn Snodin was there http://www.pnefc.net/news/article/snodin-well-aware-of-oldham-athletic-threat-2101509.aspx

it just looks bloody awful, the way he collapses. Here's hoping.

In answer to the original question of can he be so ignorant?, well yes he can but should that be a surprise ? I would suggest his views are not that much different than a very large number of people in this country and he/they do not think they are being racist or discriminatory. We all base our views/opinions on what we know/ learn and we are all subjected to a diet of stereotypes. Whether we chose to believe them or not is the key. We have all grown up with a view that Jews are money grabbers, the Irish are thick , Scots are tight, because these myths are perpetuated unless we challenge them. My stereotypes might be different than Dave Whelans, e.g. all Wiganers eat pies, but they are no less valid if I choose to believe them. The problem comes when I use them to base my actions/ manifesto on them. Jews may be money grabbers but does that mean one commits genocide? Poles may be taking plastering jobs over here (not the same as taking jobs from our plasters) but does that mean all foreigners should be sent home after a certain period of time? The whole issue is far too complex for a bear of little brain like me, but can I say that I do believe all Wiganers eat pies, all Yorkshiremen have close liaisons with woolly creatures and people from Marsden have 4 thumbs?

If he can I suggest we sign Gregan on non contract terms for the night

He's just moved back up it as Beckford has gone to PNE on loan for the rest of the season. Shows what we have to compete with in this league. PNE go for the experienced proven goal scorer and we are looking at the untried and untested kid. Still it's interesting though isn't it?

Sheff Utd 1 Latics 3 (ht 0-1) Philiskirk 22,015

Surely Ropey Risky? Wilkinson main loan target?

well it could be argued we've had plenty of ropey players in the past and made plenty of risky signings but never a roope riski one to my knowledge

Is this the same Chris Waddle who said after 60 minutes that Welbeck should be taken off because he was contributing nothing?The one person in the world who you would expect to be able to say the word penalty but can't.
