Lost 82-0

You see a score like that, and then (for the older supporters) think that it only seems two minutes since we won 33 8 at the
Boulavard. After Hull took an early 8 0 lead Oldham stormed back with 33 unanswered points. The 2000 or so Oldham fans
behind the goals at the scoreboard end going wild at the final whistle. Question. Has any team gone as far backwards as
Oldham in the last 14 years?

I remember going to the Boulevard in the Mid 90's. Lidner went over the line with 4 Hull players on his back.
And yes, I dont think there is another team that has gone backwards as much as Oldham in the last 14 years.

Greetings Roughyeds....

The last time anything was this one sided consisted of lions and Christians.

Great analogy the Christians are still fighting.

Had a great day out today. Hull's fans were fantastic towards us and treated us with a great deal of respect. On the pitch they never lacked effort or switched off because they thought we were easily beat. Their stadium is fabulous and is easily the best I've been to.

On the pitch it was pretty obvious we were going to struggle no matter what team we played. If we played a full strength team we still would have beaten by 60+ and could have suffered even more injuries. On this count we were doing very well until the last minute when Gilly was twisted very awkwardly on his ankle I think and had to be carried off. Didn't look like he would be available for next weeks game. The majority of our young lads gave a good account for themselves especially Robinson,Diveney and Ward. Our goal line defence was pretty good considering the scoreline but we really struggled when Hull attacked from deep especially with Houghton and Horne running down the middle. Their two props caused us problems all day, especially Moa and you could see why there are in such good form.

I don't mean to sound harsh to the lad but Stephen Nield's performance today must go down as one of the worst debuts of all time. In the first half he carried the ball only three times, each time losing the ball and in defence he was appalling and directly at fault for at least four tries in the first half alone. He was so poor he had to be shipped out to the wing and Robbo brought into the full back role. I hope the lad can recover from that performance because it was a shocker.

Just go to show how far our club as fallen when 82 nil is seen by some as a respectable scoreline. Not doubting the lads efforts but none the less it's very sad. I often think how different things could have turned out if someone like Terry Flan had taken over the club 14 years ago. I don't think you could find a chief executive with such a record of failure who would still be in the job after all this time in the history of any sport. Maybe Alan Hardy?
It's the kids like my son that I feel sorry for. I drag him along to every home game whilst his mates are off watching the Rhinos,Wigan,Warrington and the rest . At least I have had the pleasure of Watching My team compete with and beat these teams in the not too distant past. Will he ever be able to say the same ? Maybe someone like Terry Flanagan might take pity on him and the rest of us and buy the club and run its tradition deserves. I can dream can't I?
