Feeling quite nauseous this morning with the excitement, the nerves, the trepidation, the knowledge that sheer joy or utter despair will be the feeling come Sunday tea-time.
Not felt like this for a long time. I'm not sure I like it haha

Hi Fev fans, just a reminder that Sunday's semi-final at Boundary Park kicks off at 2pm. Would hate for you all to turn up at half-time!

Brilliant summary of the season so far OV.I feel some supporters, after all the rubbish we have suffered over recent years, are expecting too much too quickly.
As you say, a full strength squad would be a match for anyone, and in my mind a decent mid-table finish would be a success this season.
Even more so if we go to Wembley as well !

I think Ben has played on loan for us before ?

The latest on ET I believe is that the club are waiting for him to be given a date for a scan. If that comes back with positive news, he may be back hopefully.
Not sure Lannon will be eligible for the 1895 Cup as he played for Widnes at Hunslet in a previous round.

I've been watching Oldham for 65 years and have never walked out of a game. But today after 25 minutes I couldn't take any more - they were an embarrassment to the shirt.
I brought 4 newbees who sadly won't be coming back.
I know we are down to the bones but the 25 minutes I watched they were clueless.
The bubble has definitely burst and big time.
You & your 4 newbees won't be walking down Wembley Way on June 7th then ???

There's always a recall option on any loan deal
On the last Boundary Line, Sean said we had it in writing that Phoenix was with us this year.

What Sunday's game against Featherstone has done is set up the semi against the same opposition very nicely! I'm sure their fans will travel in much greater numbers next time & hopefully the Joe Royle stand will be full to capacity.
Will their narrow defeat on Sunday give Fev greater motivation to win? Or will the fact that we were fortunate not to lose wipe out any complacency that might have existed in the Oldham camp?
It's going to be an exciting few weeks as the build-up to the match gathers momentum - bring it on, after several Challenge Cup semi-final defeats on neutral grounds over the years, we are now at home in a semi as the Holy Grail (for us Oldham fans) awaits the winners.
A few prayers will be said in Oldham (and by Roughyeds fans the world over) the night before the game

Excellent work mate, can think of QLT/PLT and George/young Flanagan (father & son) who played against each other but not in the same team as you say.

Not lulling us into a false sense of security there are you Phantom?

This is the one championship fixture I've been looking forward to. No nonsense proper Rugby League fixture from two old school clubs. I remember one freezing night up at sheddings ,Ray Ashton broke free from a tackle and the defending Fev player had somehow got hold of the wasteband of his jockstrap. It snapped and I've never seen Ashy run so fast.

I'd go: PLT, Johnson, O'Keefe, Turner/Lowe, Dixon, Craven, Drinkwater, Dudson, Wildie, Jay, Ashurst, Lawton, Milner. subs: Farnworth, Moran, Ted, Baxter
Would be very disappointed if Lowe comes straight in over O'Keefe who has bided his time waiting for an opportunity. Think the rest of the team almost picks itself. I reckon this is a must win game with our next run of fixtures looking very tough. Oldham by 8
Would be surprised if Riley Dean is left out.

Having had the privilege to attend the extravaganza that was Vegas last week, I would like the Yeds to follow the example of the New Zealand Warriors by utilising the 'Up the Yeds' slogan at every opportunity.
'Up the Wahs' has become a Warriors battle cry in recent times & has been marketed forcefully by the club and their fans have embraced it & shout 'Up the Wahs' whenever they bump into fellow supporters.
Could 'Up the Yeds' take off in a similar way? Something light-hearted & simple like this can only help to generate interest in the club.

Really, really strange squad as we are missing 4 key players for a massive away game which is vital for our start to the season. Thornley, Dudson and Ashurst should all have been rested last week in preparation for this tough away game. The team is still very capable of winning but our lack of squad rotation makes very little sense to me as now Baxter,Lawton, O'Keefe and Aldridge are all going to have to play with hardly any game time.
With the players available I'd go:
PLT, Johnson, O'Keefe, Sambou, Dixon, Craven, Dean, Farnworth, Wildie, Baxter, Taylor, Lawton, Milner. subs:Ted, Moran, Hirst, Aldridge.
Jay?

Seems Craven was named at 6 but pulled out late. Well done to everyone, fantastic start to the campaign!

Really impressed with York , seen them twice on the box this year, the halves Hingano & Harris are class.

Mackenzie was interviewed by George in the 1895 bar before the Wigan game & said he just needed to build up his general fitness now. He was also filmed doing some running in training this week.

Fantastic footage, seen still photographs of this match before but never moving pictures. Very moving .
