ArthurO 84 Report post Posted March 28, 2019 And I was there too. We knocked Jonathan Davies about fearfully that day, but fair credit to him he never took a step backwards and he never complained. As for Offiah, he was sickened by the hammering we gave him every time he touched the ball. By the end of the game, he couldn't wait to get off the pitch in order to get away from it. Brilliant tactics that day by Oldham's coach. Happy days. If only we could repeat that historic result ! And I shall continue to hate Holdsworth 'til my dying day. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I win the Euro millions and build New Sheddings, I'm going to have the John Holdsworth suite, complete with pictures of the man. It will be the best toilets in the RL.

Quote With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BryanC 478 Report post Posted March 30, 2019 Just been up to the ground, there's a football match on this afternoon, what I think might be the disabled sports league. Something the club are heavily involved with. Celtic first team haven't played a home game since 23rd February and the weather down here has been great for the last week or so. Celtic's ground staff have covered themselves with glory once again and the pitch looks absolutely perfect. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roughyed1064 121 Report post Posted March 31, 2019 Thats the trouble yet again with this team they never play the full 80 mins of matches, weather it's like today in cup match or the bread and butter league games, this will be the down fall of this team. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roughyed34 2,106 Report post Posted March 31, 2019 First half was poor really, Widnes are a quality side that punished errors and were clinical. Second half Oldham played so much better.Pride,passion and a great attitude. Ultimately, beaten by a better side. Im not bothered in the slightest about the margin of defeat etc. Next week at Newcastle is far more important than the CC or the 1895 cup. Well played Widnes, credit to Oldham for not throwing in the towel. Enjoyable day out at Bower Fold. 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
YoungYed 66 Report post Posted March 31, 2019 Was hard to watch that first half today got totally out done on the wings. We definitely missed the players we had missing. Thought we looked much better when crook came off and Owen went to half back. Proud of the lads that they never stopped working, onto the big game on sunday against Newcastle 4 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dave Naylor 2,168 Report post Posted April 1, 2019 Now we can concentrate on the league THAT old adage ‘now we can concentrate on the league’ was never more apt than it was at Bower Fold when a young Widnes Vikings outfit that overflowed with pace and skill demonstrated all too clearly how much ground Oldham have to make up if they want to compete successfully with the better teams in the Championship.
