creepy Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Taggart: "Dale Stephens is available" shocker. it would have been better him saying 'playing at a higher level with us', but then again he might have said that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) It was an enjoyable evening, Dickov, Taggart and Butler all came across very well. A very good turn-out and a wide cross-section of support were in attendance. Alan Hardy, Ian Hill, Big Gord, Tony Bugby, The young lad in a suit (who is he?), Marketing Guy, Bazza and the usual Trust faces were there. What struck me is how positive the atmosphere was, Paul is keen to build bridges with the public of Oldham and unlike his predecessors the players have a pre-requisite to get out into the town and work in the community. Something many of the first-teamers have failed to do since Big Joe was in charge. Other key points:- * Wants to play football, but winning football * Effort will be there, shape up or ship out is his attitude * Wants hunger * Not much money available but feels he can wheel and deal and hopefully his formula for success will attract the right calibre of player * Taylor and Stephens are key * Part of the reason Feeney and Jones were brought in is their infectious enthusiasm * Possibly deals are in the pipeline but making no promises * Part way through his first badge - but Taggart is well qualified * Taggart reckons we were the best team Leicester played in 08/09 Home and Away * Butler worked with the Aussie swimming squad in Beijing * Only believe in signing players they have seen personally (Taggart, Dux or Dickov) * Wants the Yoofs to be around the first-team training * Wants to take one Yoof on an away trip each time, to give the other lads a kick up the arse and aspirations * Knows some people need a kick up the arse and others an arm around the shoulder Taggart and Dickov were highly entertaining, they're comfortable together and look like a real professional partnership, yet relaxed but focused. Of course it may all go tits up but I reckon we're onto a winner and have appointed a hungry management team that will work their arses off for the club. Looking forward to next season and gutted I'll miss the last two friendlies and first two away games.

PhilStarbucksSilkySkills Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Time for an elephant in the room moment. Sorry to have to ask this, but I can't maintain my silence any longer. I have read many of Royle Army's posts (entertaining and occasionally informative as they are) and find his use of the english language to be ......shall we say.....unconventional. Is there some reason, for which everyone is aware but me, as to why this is? Is English a second language for our club mascot, or is there an isolated area of Oldham that is developing it's own unique dialect, where vaguely simliar words are freely interchangeable and punctuation is the forgotten art? Regardless, keep up with the posts Mr Army. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luke Becketts Anchor Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 I can't get used to reading 'Taggart' and not thinking it refers to the arrogant red-nosed Salford RedSoxx bastard. Anyway, all sounds positive! I think we're going to do well this year (but then I say that every year...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

underdog Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Thanks guys for your thoughts Damn miffed I missed it but it was a colleague's leaving bash so I had to go, highlight of my night literally - I set my hair on fire. Candles are Bad in a bar...tut...no candles at BP please. Back on subject, hope him and his team can turn it around in every way on and off the pitch. First two friendlies have been positive, sound signings too and some for the chaff has been/will be cut loose too. Hope Taylor is up to the challenge as he got injured again last Sat after only 35mins on the pitch. Here's a hint Chris - stop running around all the pitch like a headless "lets do the the shimmy/dummy shuffle" chicken please. Even I know what your going to do when you get the ball. Surprise us and do something different Here's to Sat away game - see you there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 (edited) I think it stands for English as Additional Language. It does, as someone that has a fair bit of experience in teaching EAL kids it takes a bit of getting used to the fact that some kids that speak English perfectly well, don't always understand everyday words such as 'fortnight' or 'launch'. Often the individual thinks in their own language then has to translate into English. Often there are slight inaccuracies. That's why Ibby (i'm sure he won't mind) possibly gets his words a little too literal sometimes. I think after many people have realised he is for real tonight, hopefully we'll see more tolerance of his postings.

maddog Posted July 15, 2010 Share Posted July 15, 2010 Loved it tonight! I felt so positive I almost cried (yes, I am contrary). Was very pleased to have my picture taken with dickov. I suspect he only agreed to it because I make him look tall . He asked how I was. I said I felt very positive. He said he also felt very positive. He posed for pictures, and then he turned to me and said "it won't be through lack of trying". That'll do me. So I am left with positive feelings. And, to be frank, a bit of a crush on the Englishman, Irishman and Scotsman on the panel tonight! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
