mikeroyboy Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I still look forward to all the matches I attend (95% at home and 30% away)and I am very grateful towards anyone who continues to fund what we supporters are unable to fund ourselves. Meanwhile, I patiently wait for the massive stroke of LUCK that will bring together management, coaching staff and a group of players that will be able to win 50% of their matches that is the basis of a very successful season. I remain optimistic at all times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pinevillawill Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) Are you the one who doesn't go to matches these days?Sorry? I made that comment after Port Vale away which was, erm, our last game. Anyway, I don't know what point you're trying to make? Are you implying my opinion is invalid if I stop going to games? I said I wouldn't be going to another game until results start picking up. There's nothing wrong with that, is there? After all, football is an entertainment business. Losing every week isn't my idea of fun. Even a goal or two might have kept me interested but, as many are rightly saying, this season is the same old :censored:e (if not worse) with a prettier front. A couple of wins with a few in the onion bag and I'll be back at BP but, for the time being, I've seen enough. I will continue to post and give my opinion from the comfort of my own home.

petelatics Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Every home game? Pick us up. No, only Saturday games and if you stick your thumb out as my Virgin train thunders north, I'll be happy to pull the communication cord and stop the train for you. If you book well in advance (3 months) the price really comes down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all, football is an entertainment business. Losing every week isn't my idea of fun. I would say there is something wrong with that. Being an Oldham supporter does feel like more of a punishment at times and there are many reasons people have for not going - but "because it's not entertaining enough" isn't a valid one in my opinion.

Course you are entitled to say what you want about Latics, but I do have to disagree with you about what you call 'the same old :censored:e (if not worse) with a prettier front'. The standard of football that Latics have played in most games, home and away, has been far superior to anything under Dickov. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Déjà vu with less goals and a higher pass completion and possession percentage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well we're never going to agree on this are we. It always amazes me how so many people watch the same match and have completely different opinions. See you at Boundary Park on Saturday for, hopefully, three points. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 there was one member who used to post both in the same day I remember him, in fact IIRC he used to post both within the same post...! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 It's not because it's not entertaining enough. It's because it's not entertaining at all. Each to their own. I still get a pre kick off buzz whenever I go (which isn't all that often). That usually gets replaced by icey-toed depression by 4.45 though. Then every now and then you get a moment that makes it all worth while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must have missed loads of games under Talbot Penney, and Dickov becasue we have not been entertaining for years. In fact about 25 years. So I don't buy it, it must be mainly about results. Perhaps going to follow City will be more to your taste. You'd get the enteertainment and results. in one. Unfortuantely there will be a load of ex United fans too, who claim that they followed them when they were in the Championship, not even aware they were with us in League One, but hey ho small price to pay if you want entertaining.

I think you missed out Ronnie Moore! I have kept going thinking that maybe this week things will change. I started watching them when I was nine and am now 65 which goes to show that I am a slow learner! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 (edited) 3 1/2 year contract thats a positive. Wonder how many players still here in three years? 16 out of contract at the end of this season, the positive is if they all do well they will be offered another deal.
