Now that you appear to have finished the iniquities summary of the Manchester United side, will you be making a similar posting about the iniquities of the Liverpool team?

I know that you only chose part of my posting to respond to earlier. By the way, in the terms of the old song, are you in the mood to sing.."I do like to be beside the seaside".. after the Championship result yesterday?


Awful pitch, awful home support, awful performance and a disallowed goal.that was yesterday's events.

I don't see why he would need to Paul, any offences by Liverpool were fully punished by the letter of the law, Man Utd on the other hand.........

Just to have a go at me as usual.

Pretty stupid comment given the team the ref supports......

You should take that one back

Once again, will this matter be one that will be a cause for the Referees Association for making a suspension of this referee and for him to be charged by the FA for gross misconduct.

When this occurs...and only then...will I reconsider my comments.

Incidentally, do you sit on the bench of your local Magistrates Court?

Come, come, can you possibly think of any reason why we should be so unkind to you?

I will give you the credit for using an arcane word above that I am unaware of.

Is an "ovet" a word used in the West Yorkshire patois?

I would love to add "something else in my life" but when you have a stroke at the age of 67 then a mini-stroke eighteen months later, medical advice is to "take things easy".. :cry:

I am retired with far more time on my hands than you obviously have to spend on this website. Of the 700 posts that you have made, how many are concerning Manchester United?

I do not even support that team, but after the weekend's results, one that has now been relegated in two successive seasons.

I'm shocked you haven't kept a tally to be honest.

Meanwhile, 11 minutes gone in the ground just a few miles down the road from my current location and it's Hull 0-2 Chelsea.

I am just happy that during our posting exchanges on this "Football" thread over such a long period of time that I have convinced you that Manchester United do NOT play in Salford, nor are anything remotely to do with Trafford FC from the Evo-Stik Premier Division.

How do you know that I haven't kept such a tally that you allude to above..:D:D

Hull City 2...Chelsea 3

Chelsea now enjoying the following:-
Only nine more Premiership league games to play
No Champions League distraction
Six points clear of the club in second place, with a game in hand.
The best goal difference of those in the top four positions

Is that for missing the penalty?...:D

How did you feel that the bold knight Gerrard of Whiston was deserving of a red card after being left on the bench, coming on as a replacement then lasting for a whole 48 seconds? I am sure that if a player who was playing against Leeds United had done what he did, you would have said that no stamping had occurred and the fault lay with the Leeds United player for lying down in his way...:D:D:D

Hibernian 0...Rangers 2

The Rangers game-plan of disrupting the usual midfield control exerted by Hibernian worked well and saw Hibernian lose for the first time since December in the league.

This result now confirms that Hearts will be the winners of the Scottish Championship this season.[/QUOTE]

Indeed quite a turnaround after the turmoil of "The Romanov Years"

We really do seem to be making hard work of clinching this title, and it's still not in the bag by any means, but Man City have been unable to take advantage and Arsenal have probably left their return to form too late? One of the poorest seasons for standards in the Prem although it does make it more exciting from a neutral perspective?

Man City will wait until the final day before winning the title by 1 point when a last own goal will drop 2 points for Chelsea.

Crewe 0-1 Oldham :D

Big win that for Oldham which is second win under Dean Holden as caretaker manager who will stay on as manager of Oldham until end of season.

We now got big local derby match against Rochdale on Tuesday night in which if we beat them we be four points off play offs places but if Dale win they move into play offs on goal diff.

Hartlepool look died and buried about three weeks ago but three wins in row and they are now only points away from move out of relegation zone, it show you what good job Ronnie Moore is doing at Hartlepool.

EDIT: Bad news Paul Sidorczuk Hyde have been relegation for second season in row :( knowing they got good draw against AFC Flyde, Stalybridge and Colwyn Bay both won mean Hyde no long can catch Colwyn Bay in table.

Bad news for Oldham - rumour (and it is only a rumour at the moment) is that they could be without both their first and second choice keeper due to injury.

Yes. Despite the defined periods where players who are unattached to a club can be signed, and loans carried out, clubs can, if needed, sign a goalkeeper at anytime in the season.

Well I've got a week and a half to wonder whether we will get humped by the great unwashed just down the road.

I fear that the answer will be yes.

With so much media speculation at present about Manchester City replacing their manager at the end of the season by Diego Simeone, it is so good to hear that he has just signed a contract extension with Atletico Madrid that will keep him in post there until 2020.

Oldham Athletic 3...Rochdale 0

Two goals from Turner and one from Forte in the local derby match were enough to move Oldham Athletic up to mid-table and, as you say, four points removed from the play-off places.

Looks like the England football team are travelling from Lichfield Trent Valley to Watford today on 1A41, 1355hrs Manchester-Euston, due to pick up at 1500 hours.
Go get the autographs.:lol:

Oldham 3-0 Rochdale

Very happy with the win and one of our better performance for while :) Rochdale were good team but I don't think it help them having three players coming off in first half with injured and up to Latics second goal Dale were getting back into game.

So they're nailed on for a 3-0 win at Valley Parade on Saturday then :(

If Oldham play like they did last night then I don't see why not but I be happy to take point away from valley parade on Saturday.

Liverpool will be somewhat annoyed that their plans for the next part of the rest of the season will be defensively put astray, as the appeal by Martin Skrtel against the charge of violent conduct was been rejected this afternoon by the FA and he will now have to serve a three-match ban.

Germany 2...Australia 2

Even though this was only a friendly international, not many would have expected Germany at home to have been held to a 2-2 draw.

Oh, you'll get a point. Our speciality this season is throwing away winning positions at home- we were 2-0 up with four to play against Fleetwood at the weekend and drew 2-2.

It must be somewhat of anti-climax for your club after the fantastic performances in cup competitions this season, so perhaps this may be reflective of their league performances after that cup run.

Well Bradford didn't throw away lead today. :(

Bradford 2-0 Oldham

I'm disappointed that we lost and knowing we stay four points behind play offs I can't see Oldham finishing in top 6 in months time, we now got League One leader Bristol City on good Friday which I expect Bristol City to pick up three points.

Bury match against Southend got Abandoned after six mins due to waterlogged pitch, knowing ref check pitch before kick off should match really started at 3pm if more rain was still falling heavy?

Hartlepool look died and buried about month ago but three wins in row and they are now only points away from move out of relegation zone, it show you what good job Ronnie Moore is doing at Hartlepool.

And what job Ronnie Moore is doing as Hartlepool beat Cambridge 2-1 and with Cheltenham lose 3-0 and Tranmere drawing 1-1 it mean Hartlepool are out of relegation zone for first time since Aug/September.

Such was the torrential afternoon rainfall in Hyde, that the local Hyde v Stockport County derby game only made it as far as half-time before matters of the playing surface became farcical and the match was abandoned.

I see Stockport were one up and also had player sent off before match got abandoned, aleast Stockport fans didn't have far to travel unlike 300 Southend fans who made trip to Bury yesterday.

I read somewhere else that the Hyde v Stockport game was abandoned on 88mins, were conditions really that bad that they couldn't play out the last few minutes?
