i remember us playing at springy against winsford utd in the cheshire league, the ref lost it completely and ended up abandoning the game. in the papers the following day it was said he sent all 22 off !!
hello micky, good observation, i am at an “age” i am retired and i have been around, and seen a bit. i come from springfield, within a delap throw from our old ground. i’ve been watching latics since i was a small boy, and i will still be watching them till i expire. i have seen us rise from the lancs combination to where we are now, so i’ve been round the block a few times. i know it dosen’t make me a know all about football just because i’ve been watching them for donkeys years, but i don’t like what i’m seeing now. we have always played with 2 up front , but our manager in his wisdom chooses not to. only the top teams can play 1 up front. this style of play we have is not working, everyone can see it, except the manager. in my opinion we are going down, no question about that. in all the years i’ve been watching us, since martinez has been in charge, i’ve had the stuffing knocked out of me. make no mistake, we’ve had some bad times in the past, but we managed to ride the storm, but not this time i’m afraid. the frightening thing as well is, should we get relegated, this man will still be in charge. when he was appointed as manager, we all wanted him to be a success, one of us leading us on to better things, but it’s not to be. most of us would think more of him if he turned round and said ” it’s not working we will try something else” i would rather see us go down fighting than going with a whimper as we are now. :(
just got in, several pints later, still dosen’t take away the pain of the dross i’ve witnessed tonight. i’ve been watching latics for 57 years, so you can imagine what i’ve seen in that time. i can honestly say, hand on heart, this is the biggest crock of shit i have ever seen. i don’t blame the players one bit, we have some good players, and with a decent manager in charge , we would do very well, but with this bellend in charge we are doomed. tonight for the first time, we played two up front, so what does the prick do ? he plays without two widemen, victor and charlie are on the bench !!! if drogba and rooney played in our team, they wouldn’t score. in the second half he brings charlie on, what a difference it made. just to confuse us, he plays charlie on the left wing, he always plays on the right normally. he plays thomas, neither use nor fekking ornament, defensive midfielder against a team second bottom in the championship ffs !!! i don’t like saying this, i wish we had lost tonight , we might have seen the last of this joker if we had , we can’t put up with much more of this, it,s not a pleasure anymore to watch, i never, ever, thought i would be saying this about my team that i’ve supported man and boy, but this prick in charge has knocked all the stuffing out of me. i don’t feel anything anymore, my passion that i’ve had all these years has gone, it has been taken away from me in one season by this gobshite. i will still go and watch, but i will feel nothing, i will just sit there and accept the inevitable. how can one man in the space of one season, destroy everything we,ve worked so hard for, and we will sink without a fight, it’s so sad.
this mon has knocked all the stuffing out of me, i’m not angry anymore, he has browbeat me i’m devoid of feeling. whelan won’t sack him, had his chance last season but didn’t. if martinez has any feelings for us he should do the decent thing and resign.
i’m sick to death with martinez and his tactics or lack of them. the first half we played quite well and deservedly went in leading. what happened in the second half is beyond me. what is this guy thinking ??? young mcarthy is taken off injured, and he brings on that waste of space gomez !! not content with that he swaps charlie over, takes scotland off, who wasn’t doing too badly, puts hugo there. instead of having a straight swap for mcarthy, he switches everybody around to accomodate his love child gomez !!! we’ve two strikers on the bench and he brings gomez on, this guy has totally lost the plot. he stated with moses we’ve got a player who can play anywhere up front, so why not bring him on instead of gomez, how many more chances is he going to give him? he can’t hack it, end of. in my opinion, we dropped two points, because of martinez’s positional changes which allowed stoke back into it. i fear for us, this man will take us down.
i’ve not been on here for a while, i’ve been totally pissed off with all the moaning and whinging being spouted on here, christ !! some of you want to get a life. how refreshing to come back on and see a post like that from bendy, it’s a blinder !!! i’ve watched the latics for 50+ years, i don’t give a shit what league they play in, they are in my heart, always have been always will be, nothing changes. thanks bendy for your post, it sums up what i , and a lot more feel about our beloved latics, good times, bad times, makes no difference to us, they are still our team, thanks again bendy, you’ve made my day :D :D :D
