Re: The Debt.

Hi folks. Could someone please explain to a Yankee what the consequences of a winding up order are? I've obviously heard it many times over the years but never quite bothered to investigate it because, well, it's never been relevant to me before . . . :(

Re: FA Cup 4th Round - Fields of tw@t'n'cry - Liverpool (a)

This will be the first Bolton game I've been able to watch since the infamous 2-2 draw with Stoke.

Needless to say, I'm excited.

Re: Top twenty bolton goals*

A few omissions come to mind. Diouf against Plovdiv (5:48)



And Diouf against Man City following spectacular buildup play from Diouf, Anelka, and Davies (5:04)

Where are they now? Tyrone Mears.

Tyrone Mears is apparently heading to my local team, Seattle Sounders FC: http://www.soundersfc.com/post/2014/12/29/sounders-fc-signs-defender-tyrone-mears" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; Mears should probably be OK at MLS level, but our previous right back was DeAndre Yedlin, a light...

Re: Karl Oyston Step Down – HELP the Petition

Oyston clearly needs to go - he's part of the new breed of totally unhinged owners like Tan and Cellino - but online petitions are worth the paper they are written on. Especially from a fan like myself, who has never and will never spend a dime on Blackpool. You need to make this a financial boycott...

Re: The Joy of (Twenty-)Sixth? Rovers / Boxing Day

A 36-year-old Heskey scores minutes after making his debut, on an assist from a 36-year-old Eidur Gudjohnsen. If that's not a Christmas Miracle, I don't know what is.

Re: Coyle to Houston Dynamo?

As someone who both knows MLS and lived through Coyle's time at Bolton, I can assure you this would be a horrendous appointment. Coyle is not a hard worker. Reports were that training consisted almost entirely of five-a-side and table tennis. Set pieces were not practiced at all, and considering how...

Re: Mackay to Wigan

Vincent Tan is very much the innocent party in all of this. He's seen a opportunity since to get back at the guy who spread lies about him in the national media, racially abused him behind his back, made him a laughing stock and 'helped' cost him hundreds of millions of pounds. Yet hear people are,...

Re: Mackay to Wigan

just to be clear... are you actually saying that Tan illegally hacked Mackay's personal phone - or merely that he found material on his work-based equipment? I'm aware that Tan didn't do anything illegal. I think that trying to ruin a man's life six months after he's left your club is much worse th...

Re: Mackay to Wigan

No. That wasn't, nor isn't the point at all. Don't try to fudge the issue. Your grief was, although isn't now for some reason, the way in which the issue was investigated. Not the severity of the crime itself, or whether or not it is one, but the way by which it was investigated. Using "investigati...

I'm aware of Saville. Surely you're not comparing what he did to what Mackay did? You know what? I had a little wager with myself that that would be exactly what you'd come back with. I might treat myself with my winnings. Where the feck have I compared their respective deeds? :roll: Perhaps the Po...

Re: Mackay to Wigan

I think the other thing that annoys me about this is that it's indicative of how activists only go after low-hanging fruit these days. Pricks like Stan Collymore act like they've ended bigotry in football because they've driven out a manager who sent a few offensive texts. Meanwhile the 2018 World C...
