It would be like Man Utd having a terrible season and getting relegated only for Sky to then say well if they go down we will pull the plug if you dont let them stay up.It is wrong what Rangers have done and for the good of the game the rules must be adhered to.You cannot make exeptions for any club however big they are.
It’s not hard to imagine just such a scenario (though maybe more so when NewsCorp were wanting to buy an interest in Man United. After all, the FA allowed them not to enter the FA Cup because they were already participating in the World Club Challenge, a clear precedent of a money/TV-led decision devaluing an established competition.
Couldn’t watch that vid as I’ve got bad mobile reception but I trust it was his screamer against Swindon in the playoffs. One of the first genuinely great Latics goals I remember. RIP Chris. Like someone said, a real 100 per center.
Yes, the four I was looking for are Zambia, China, Isle Of Man and Oman. Have we really played Moscow Torpedp twice or is someone getting confused with Locomotive Kharkhov?
I want to see a rematch with Bodo Grand.
Here’s your starter for 10.
By my reckoning, Latics have played friendlies against four national teams.
Who can name them?
I think that Whelan will be missing a trick if he doesn’t take advantage of the fact that the home end’s going to be full for once. He should print up 20,000 flyers advertising season tickets for next season. If half were printed on blue paper and half on white, they could be held up en masse at the start of the game to form blue and white stripes; would look great on Match Of The Day.
See this example from the last ever game at Highbury (note the blue block of Latics fans in the bottom right hand corner of the Clock End)
http://ontheterraces.files.wordpress.com/2010/03/highbury2.jpgThere were a bunch of City fans on Crewe station that day.
Them: “Where are you going, lads?”
Us: “***********”
Them: “On that thing?”The heating was on full all the way down, then it was blooming freezing all the way back.
Shilts got a lot of stick about his wife leaving him (“Tina! Tina!”), Tony Kelly was excellent in a genuinely world-beating Latics first half, but Jimmy Case turned it around for them in the second half.
I’m not making excuses for it. It is what it is: the intermittently interesting sound of a slightly more punk Oasis.
To parapahrase an old Not The Nine O’Clock News joke, they sound like a subtle mix of early Oasis and more-recent Oasis.
The Roller is gash but parts of the album are great; I’d still pay money to see them because you never know what you’re gonna get with Liam, and it’s that attitude which makes him a proper rock star, the last of a dying breed.
Giving away CDs in the News Of The Screws is a bit desperate, though. His big brother would never have had that.
Diame was our best player, first half. Played some brilliant balls, won everything he went for, and worked hard to send Moses, Cleverley and McCarthy on their way.
It’s a sure sign that the fotoball season’s petering out when people start going on about bat and ball. I once watched a game in the Tin Shed at Feethams when the arguments about Durham’s chances that summer were noisier than the Darlo support.
I was speaking to a Spurs supporter just today who reckons we’ll beat them. Would be our first double in ages.
Anyway, in answer to your question, Horc: the missus says, ‘Yes, so long as he doesn’t sit behind the bloke who says f****ing Wigan every five minutes’. I did tell her that that rules out about 11,000 seats.
And the lad himself say he wants to go, but only because it’s an opportunity to wave the flag you gave him. Would you be able to transfer to the South Stand for the day? And, you know, sort the tickets?
