Re: Freedman out!
Today is D-Day.
It's Darlington 1985 all over again. Minute crowd, uninspired players, befuddled manager and opposition who will really enjoy twisting the knife.
Lose tonight and it's all over for the Wanderers.

Re: Owl we get on, on Saturday?
He comes out of his box. Stands there with his hands in the pockets of his trousers, goes back, comes out and stands there with his thumbs in the pockets of his waistcoat. Then he wipes his mouth and returns to his seat. As far as I can tell that's about it. Lennie? Apparently he moved during this g...

Yes. You can get them online by viewing FLS on I-Player or, if you don't have internet access you can simply stare at a painted wall.Bruce Rioja wrote:Are there any, ahem, highlights of Saturday doing the rounds yet? NiceHotCuppaTea usually flings them up?!

Re: Freedman out!
At the half time/full time whistles on Saturday there were the usual round of boos but I don't think anyone's really interested in paying attention anymore. It's all blah blah blah as far as the club are concerned and even the fans know that Dougie's not really going anywhere soon. That was my first...

Re: Freedman out!
'Get real' What a cheeky c*nt. What does he mean by that? That we have to accept he's a fecking clown who has no concept of crossing the half way line (in either direction)? That he's only interested in not conceeding, despite not showing any control over whether we do or don't? That he's saddled th...

Re: Owl we get on, on Saturday?
I was having a look around on Saturday thinking 'How many of these players BOLTON players?' Not in the way they come to work, pull on a shirt and stagger around the pitch like zombies for an hour half - Bolton players in the sense that they have the club's interests and success at their very heart. ...

Re: Owl we get on, on Saturday?
By Christ that was rubbish wasn't it? Full back who won't (or have been told not to) push on to help midfield, wingers who can't beat a man and centre forwards who won't attack the ball. You can't expect Mark Davies to be back to his best straight away but I was crying out for him to get on the ball...

Re: Owl we get on, on Saturday?
I'm bringing one of eldest's mates and his dad along for the ride. As long as we see some goals (with any luck in the 'for' column), anythign but a 'crucial' 0-0 bore draw which 'hopefully' will 'kick start our season'. In fact there's part of me that wants us to go all out and try to lose very game...

Re: The New Freedman Poll
Is that something that's endemic in the modern striker?
Heaven help we get another 30+goal a season centre-forward but do strikers feel that 10 goals a season is enough now?
Doing the bare minium to draw a wage is usually a realm that only public sector workers can aspire to.

Re: The New Freedman Poll
I am now convinced that Dougie has gone mad. Really. I've just come from the BN where he's saying that we need 'new blood'. Isn't this a squad made up of players he's signed? Who else is he after? What does that say about the players he's signed so far and his ability to spot a player or work with w...

Re: “Make towards the pebbled shore"..The Brighton match thr
Taken individually every game up to now has been one you could see us losing even if we were playing well Watford, Notts For and M'boro are all hard games and, as Duggy Stink keeps us there are no easy games. For us anyway. Again, an away loss to Brighton wouldn't normally be seen as a bad result if...

Re: The New Freedman Poll
He's set himself up to fail. Everything is everyone else's fault (sound familiar?) and he's trying to sort out the mess left by the last bloke (ditto). He moans and he groans, complains about the ref, complains about how 'hard' football is 'thesedays' and bemoans his luck infront of goal. Well from ...

Re: The New Freedman Poll
I voted 'keep' because the next clown we get will be another Gartside apointee who'll be the King of Football until we kick off the first game under him when we'll see what we've got is Freedman-lite. The next manager we get is either Jimmy Phillips, Kevin Blackwell or Micky Phelan. Someone looking ...

Re: The New Freedman Poll
I'm remaining tight lipped re my opinions on Dougle until the 10 game mark.
Only then will I let you know what I think of the useless nice person.

Football thrives on cliche.

Subsequent events have proved that a) He quite clearly wasn...

I think Mansfield is the nearest mainline station.
