I never had a board on my site, nor did the official site.
However – I’m not sure the original board was actually labelled “Cockney Latic”, as in the early days that was “just” the fanzine. The “board” was a “mail list”.
And here are some of its contributors before the Gillingham play-off at Wembley:
their reserves usually make more than a game of it anyway
And so should ours. That’s what’s wrong – not the fact that they played.
Surely the best player development is to play in winning teams.
I don’t see it as one or the other. Playing younger players (and yesterday’s team wasn’t exactly the Youth squad, was it?) could provide a platform for squad players to shine.
They didn’t – that’s their fault not Roberto’s, or the system, or policy, or whatever.
It was due to bones, and bone-related dog foods providing high calcium diets.
All stopped when BSE appeared.
Euphoria? Which of your carers found that word for you?Is that like “You four ‘ere – you’re in defence”……..
I bet today’s game wont linger in the memory for too long !
it will as one of the worst performances by a Wigan Athletic team in 33 years supporting the club.Bournemouths performance was also memorable for their fight and honesty and their fans a credit travelling up in such numbers.[/quote]
“One of the worst performances in 33 years”???
You haven’t watched us a lot, have you?
I agree (sorry Griff).
I have no problems with the team RM named. They are “Premier League squad players”. They should be out to impress and convince him they are ready to contend for PL places. It is not his fault that they did not.
I have defended Boselli in the past, saying he is a poacher, and isn’t given a chance. Against Bradford and today he proved he is no more than a benchwarmer (and yes be honest a waste of a bench place). If the service isn’t coming to him then he needs to make things happen.
Stam disappointed. He can on occasion take on PL defenders. He didn’t seem willing or able to do that today against Division 1 opponents.
I thought Redmond played well in the first half, and McManaman was nowehere near as good in the second half when pushed out wide.
I had hoped that Henriquez would add sparkle. OK – maybe a few mistimed touches didn’t go as he would have wished – but I fear he’s not going to change the world.
Noticeable that the better players today – Boyce, Figueroa, Gomez (yes, I though the played well) – are the ones who have appeared at league level. The others failed to impress when they had the stage to themselves.
I think we’ll win the replay – but we should not have needed to go to a replay.
Espinoza seemed to have the mobility of a pensioner at half time on the pitch – very stiff !!!
Sorry but you are now judging players by how they looked (to you) in the warm up at half time??
You cannot be serious :ohmy:
It’s quite bizarre how you remember some games and others not at all.It is true.
I know for example for certain that I have seen both Exeter and Lincoln a number of times. But do you know that for the life of me I cannot remember one minute of any game.
I don’t remember much of any games with Bournemouth either, except one excruciatingly boring 0-0 at Springfield the season we were relegated, I think, but I do remember seeing Ted McDougall playing for them v Tranmere back in about 1971/1972.
Remember the game well, was willing the ref to continue till the time elapsed whereby the score would stand.
George may be able to tell us what that time was, 75 mins? or have I dreamt it?.It’s a myth, I’m afraid John, that there is such a time when the “score stands”.
Law 7 states that a game lasts two halves of 45 minutes, and it states “an abandoned match shall be replayed unless the rules of the competition state otherwise”. The FA Cup and Premier League have no such clauses, so any abandonment should be replayed in full. There was the famous 1961 case of Denis Law scoring 6 for City in a game that was abandoned, and had to be replayed. His goals were all erased from the records, and City lost the rearranged match.
In practice the organising committee can look at whether a game abandoned near the end has to be replayed, but it would have to be very near the end.
I was actually at the famous “Denis Law backheel” match that sent United into the (old) second division and that was abandoned after about 88 minutes because of “crowd invasions” (it was actually non-threatening – just kids running all over the pitch) and that wasn’t replayed.
But in answer to your question – there isn’t such a time.
