the_mighty_bosh Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Really looking forward to Saturday, one of the few matches I can make this season due to work commitments. There's been a lot of discussion this week about how long Dickov has left and I'd say the majority believe that if things continue as they are it won't be long, rightly so imo. But until then I really hope we get behind Dickov at games and don't turn on him. Whatever his faults are as a manager (it's becoming increasingly clear that he has a fair few) he has represented our club well as his personality and attitude has helped portray our club in a positive light to others. As Dave Penney proved, those qualities can't be taken for granted. If Dickov fails it won't be for the lack of trying and it'll be worse for his reputation than it'll be for ours. A strong positive show of backing from us might even give him the confidence to try something new that works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 PD 'likeabilty' (is there such a word) was never in doubt. He would make a great salesman. Once you'd bought your third failing product off him even he would start to struggle with a fourth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Siege Mentality has kicked in for me, I was pissed off last week until the beer kicked in around 7pm and been looking forward to Pompey ever since. I'm expecting another defeat but hoping we can at least have a proper go, sent out to play with proper tactics and our heads up, we are Oldham Athletic let's play like Oldham Athletic and get the ball down and have a go at the opposition... If we play poorly and lose the writing could be on the wall, the beer will be flowing for many (not me, my 9 year old is coming with me) and it may well be the day the worm turns in terms of Dickov still enjoying around 2/3 support of our fanbase (according to the poll on her - I've not voted i'm still on the fence) Championship season apart, Fratton Park has been a bit of graveyard with 5 defeats in our last 7 there.

Lee Sinnott Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'll support and get behind the team. But I refuse to sing his name. The sooner he leaves, the better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'll support and get behind the team. But I refuse to sing his name. The sooner he leaves, the better. So you won't be singing "We want Dickov out" and such? Good. Excellent. I'm massively backing Dickov and the team to put in a really good performance on Saturday. There's rarely a need to boo the manager or call for him to be sacked, and there's definitely no need in Dickov's case. Like bosh says, if - massive if - he does get sacked, he should go with everyone's best wishes and not thinking that Oldham fans are a bunch of reprobates.

oafcprozac Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) I think tbf on Match Day he enjoys more than his fair share of support, in the four games I've been to the young choir have all sang his name and asked him to give them a wave. Although I believe he's had some grief from the main stand... Edited August 30, 2012 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Sinnott Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I never sing We want Dickov out. I vent my frustration at him and then come on here and twitter and tell the world how much I hate the football he is serving up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lee Sinnott Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 It was a blatant lie, Rob. Stevenage away, Rochdale away, Brentford away, Bury away, MK Dons away and no doubt on Saturday when Izale McLeod doubles the home sides advantage.

I looked at the train but good god its expensive, I think I am going to wake up sat morning see how I feel and may go but for me more likely I wont Hi mate! Managed to get a ticket from trainline about a week ago, there and back for approx. £25 (two singles, £15 there and £10 back) on young persons railcard. I'm going to Fratton so not sure if that makes a difference or not to the price. Would be good to meet up if you're going! Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oafcprozac Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 (edited) 05:55 from Piccadilly and not back into Manc until 00:37. Must be off my nut, but £55.80 return for the three of us was not to be sniffed at. Edited August 30, 2012 by oafcprozac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
