The MIGHTY IRON!

Nice one Scunny

 

bttt

 

........and again, to get rid of that oik

 

Still there..........but looking over our shoulders at Oldham

Alcazar

 

Aye, just wait til the 13th and you'll see what football is about 1800 allocation for our lot. Come on we'll bring more than you at this rate

Just got back from todays game, Who are Nottingham Forest again?

 

Come on the Latics (Oldham)

 

Still buzzing from yesterday and my throat is killing Scun-thorpe should be worried, if Billy Sharp goes this month then can see the wheels falling off. Do you know if you plan on selling or not Al?

 

Selling? Us ? You jest, surely, when have WE ever sold our good players? Oh yes, I forget, Thomas, Clemence, Keegan, Cassidy, yawn..........every one we've ever had.

Yep, it'll be a matter of time, When, rather than if.

Last month, three articles in the local rag:

"We won't sell, says chairman". Then, two days later,

"Iron £1.3 million in the red". then two days later,

"Not unless someone offers £2 million, says chairman".



I can see it now, same as ever. Some bigger club with more money comes in, either from the division WE are trying to get into, or even from the same division as us, but a bigger club. Suddenly, all the "we won't sell, we don't need the money, we have ambition" is replaced by "we can't stand in the lad's way, he's going on to better things" and the money? If we get £2 million, we'll be lucky to see £200,000 spent on ANY players

Personally, I wouldn't put it past Lawsy to come in for Sharp AND Keogh as a pair, having already agreed with Wednesday that money would be available for them, and that agreement made even before he agreed to leave us call me a cynic if you will.

As for Marcus williams, yep, watch out for him going to a prem side before long, and probably Joe Murphy too.

As for us..........well, next season, if we do sell, league two beckons again

All you have to do is ask for more. Cardiff did it a few years ago, when they were champions, threatened loads would turn up without tickets. The local plod (Humberside ), and the club, panicked and gave the Cardiff fans OUR TERRACE AS WELL! GRRRRRRRRRR!

THEN they were both mystified when there was wholesale violence before and after the game, and LOADS of fans boycotted the game and just went for a ruck. Are they THICK or what? And NO I don't mean the fans

Alcazar

BTW: did you know that Oldham's ground is the highest (altitude) league ground in the country? Of course you did. You're coming to Glanny, then?

 

Aye I do believe he will go this Jan, hes out of contract in the summer though isnt he? Cant see someone stumping up £2m for him though.

Cardiff fans are known for their trouble causing, one of the worse 92 clubs out there IMO.

Wrong, we are 3rd highest above sea level behind West Brom and Port Vale Although its definately the coldest ground in the country I'll definately vouch for that one

I dont mind scun-thorpe and dont want to see them have a bad season but I was gutted yesterday when you got that point otherwise we could have gone top...lol

And yes, I'll be and Gladford presuming I can get a ticket (PITA as Im not a season ticket holder at Latics. Guess who our next game is after you, Brizzle City, typical, talk about doing it the hard way... Saying that though, 5-0 against Forest wasnt exactly hard...lol

 

p.s. Just had it confirmed just 1600 tickets now for us. On Sale from tomorrow but only to ST holders for the first week

 

Is it ticket only? If you have trouble, let me know, and I might be able to help. You'd get to see the game, but might have to keep a bit quiet

Alcazar

Just phoned the club and it's not all-ticket for us...........

 

No its all ticket for the away fans but they dont go on general sale til saturday IIRC although I have a couple of lads going to BP on saturday to see if they can get me 2.

Trust me I cant keep quiet at the football, put me in the home end and I might be in a spot of bother

 

Probably the wettest too. In the 18 years I lived in Oldham, I think I remember 2 days when it didn't rain.

 

You've got a good memory

 

Scunny game called off today, meaning a latics win next saturday and we go top

Enjoy it whilst it lasts Irons

 

Confirmed I got my tickets 1200 sold as of first thing this morning with a week to go, I think its going to be a sell out for our end quite comfortably Cant wait for saturday now.

 

Get ready for you spanking boys, the 2100 travelling blue army are going to make a noise today

Al, If your going Im having a pre match pint in the Berkley Hotel if you fancy a drink with us? I shall be with my younger brother, he'll be easy to spot, skinny ugly ginger lad he is

Good luck after today

 

When Saturday comes. We'll be top by 5 O'Clock Just got to dispose of the long ball bindippers

 

Come on Latics

 

 

Well, there you are, top at least until Monday night. We now HAVE to beat Brizzle if we are to maintain our push. If they win, we don't move YET, but they would have same points and a game in hand. And Forest would hbe TWO points behind with a game in hand: potential disaster. We drew FAR too many games in January.

Still plenty of games to go.

I can already hear the comments re: selling Keogh, if we lose though

Alcazar

 

Aye a draw will put you back up there but tbh, it'll only be for 24 hours when we take on Blackpool at home

 

And don't write off the Tangerines.........you'd better take them seriously.

Alcazar

 

Could you imagine how exciting the premiership would be if the first 5 places were as close as division 1

 

I know, shows where the real football lies

Al, Im not writing anyone in this league off although on our day we have nobody to fear so no harm being positive

Although we might have a prob now we are missing our star midfielder Ritchie Wellens.

 

Blackpool seem to be on a roll, I'd bet on them being in the playoffs, or thereabouts, come May.

Alcazar

 

Definately they will be in the Play offs although they took a bit of a battering this weekend. Im hoping for a draw tonight between your lot. I shall be watching dont worry. 0-0 will be the right result

 

09:45 - 05 February 2007 Marcus Williams and David Mulligan will not be in the Scun thorpe United squad to face promotion rivals Bristol City at Glanford Park tonight (7.45pm) after the pair breached club discipline.
