Quick one as I'm on my way out 🍻 PREMATCH Really? They normally bring bugger all considering they are a big club. So that's the centre questionable with Santos and the left is now knackered too. Could be a cricket score this !!! DURING POST MATCH All taken from > https://londonroad.net/Forum/showthread.php?tid=21716&page=5 Will update in the morning. Am off to get pissed. Up the Whites 🍻

About fucking time

Good grief

BB seems to be getting desperate. We have a government that has run down every public service (NHS, Police, prisons,) to breaking point over 13 years. Who also allowed millions of PPE money to be corruptly taken by their donors and friends. Had a chancellor who owed 4 million in taxes. Had a PM that frequently broke his own lockdown rules and allowed parties in Downing Street and then lied to parliament for months. Another PM lasted a few weeks after an inept budget proposed giving tax breaks to the wealthiest during a cost of living crisis. Delivered a brexit deal that has created chaos for small businesses and reduced our GDP. And on it goes. What Rachel Reeves did was tweet the worst case scenario for the BoE bail out (5 billion per day for 13 days) which never came to pass fortunately. It is not remotely comparable to the Tories list of lies and corruption.

Hallelujah! Bang on. Unions need dismantling.

In my lifetitime we've beaten United five times, two at home and three away. I wasn't at a single one of those away games sadly but was at both the homes. Perhaps it's time to collect our memories of these glorious occasions in to one place. December 22, 1978: Bolton 3 United 0 - I was still a school kid lucky to be taken to one of my first ever night matches. I wish I could remember more about the occasion. It was a pretty foggy night and United's fans were put in the bigger section of the Embankment nearest the Manny Road. Not sure if that had ever happened before - it was to happen pretty regularly in the 80s. There was a bloke near us in the Manny Road Stand who was a United fan that came to watch Bolton, odd. As you'd expect he was gobby - but harmless. He'd been talking for weeks about how Gordon McQueen would stop Franky Worthy. I wish I could remember which of our three goals it was but Frank looped the ball over the Jock and put it in their net. Total mayhem all around him and around Burnden. November 24, 2007: Bolton 1 United 0: One win all season and we get our second at home against United. Big Sam had tried and failed to beat them on home turf and Megson did it at his first attempt. The goal and highlights are on You Tube - great finish by Anelka. I remember Owen Hargreaves' late free kick when it felt like they'd snatch yet another late equaliser at ours - they'd done it twice before in the preceding few years. Unlike 78 I was old enough for a pint or three after the game! I remember being in the Jolly Ploughman up near Church Road with my Dad who was in seventh heaven. The ale went down a treat and the whining from the two United fans at the bar music to our ears. My Dad comes in to a memory of the famous 1-2 win at United in 1979 even though we weren't there. It was 1-1 very late in the game, United had already missed a penalty. Then Piccadilly Radio said "there's a late goal at Old Trafford". Our hearts sank. Then they went to the ground and it took the reporter, Tom Tyrell, a few seconds to speak. You could distantly hear the ecstatic Bolton fans on the Scoreboard End. What a moment. My Dad leapt over the settee just as Tyrell broke his silence. He was United through and through and his sour grapes weren't disguised So come on folks - give us your memories of these and Big Sam's 1-2 and 0-1 wins there in 2001 and 2002. If you're owd enough and remember give us your memories of the beatings we gave them in earlier days too! Doesn't matter how quirky or whether it was about the build up, post match or game itself.

Lovely. Ruined Darren taggarts and his dads day

If you can't be happy on a day like this you should probably take an eccy. Almost delirious with a 5-0 away win. Cut your losses Aldo, you're flogging a dead horse pal.

I'm not sure he was claiming it's good, just quite common And it is up north

You'll be hard pressed to find a centre forward capable of taking every opportunity first time at this level He might not be the type to hold up tge plaay but he's a constant menace to the oppposition centre halves

Well deserved great result I have still not given up on automatic promotion .

I hope Dion doesn't score a hattrick again this season, that was a painful watch.

Everything

Put the Daily Mail down lad ❤️ Migrants don’t hold monopoly on shit behaviour. Happens in all walks of life.

Things no one in league one is arsed about.

thanks Matty, always a pleasure to read, especially after handing them their arse on a plate

Cheers matty 🍆

that 'paper's' not fit for wiping my arse on

Well I wasn’t there today. But I’ve bloody loved it! In Milan with Mrs on anniversary. Lovely day on Lake Como. Following game on here, through family and Twitter. Saw some BWFC fans on Twitter were out here. Met up with them in a bar! They were watching on Ifollow. Good set of lads. Had a few beers, now celebrating round the Navigli area of Milan COYW 👏👏

Unruly migrants... Blimey

I didn't make any excuses if you care to read. Not unusual though for such poorly considered retorts. However, it simply is a fact that folk are sick and tired of unruly migrants behaving like this (it isn't the first time) and whether it's right or wrong sooner or later they're going to react. Government must get a grip, and quick, or things could escalate.

It's wrong that anyone watched it without intervening, if that's what happened. If no teachers were there, then they can't be blamed. The main issue here is folk taking matters into their own hands afterwards. Folk turning up in "paramilitary" clothing. Intimidatory and completely unhelpful. Police had already made the arrests, so just leave them to it.

Build Neil Heart a 30ft statue right now

"It can't be can it? It is... Santos again" pmsl

If Carlsberg did Saturdays…..I’d still not drink Carlsberg.

Cracking team, great to see Dion and Shorty starting up top as they did at Charlton, they’ll run their defenders ragged the later when they tire we’ll batter them again with Jerome and Victor. COYWM let’s give it to them big time.

As their internal memo outlines; ”the suppression of the capitalist system by a socialist order of society” Clearly, nothing to do with rail, members or Doris; pure power politics.

Ill finger my own arse on a live stream to this thread if he does.

What are you talking about!! Look at the tweet I posted. Tell me what part makes any sense whatsoever. She is a Chancellor in waiting and she posts nonsense like that. She is supposedly one of the better ones in Labour. Doesn’t say much about the rest.

Fucking hell. This is the rant before you take a shotgun to a room.

Exactly- and when they say nurses need food banks to survive is the biggest shit I have ever heard. Some of them Two to three Costa Coffees a day at Worcester Hospital where I was going recently for a month up to Mum passing away; plus during the week there is that many staff they are falling all over themselves but hardly any over the weekends

"Looking after their members" bit the bollox about them being useful is shite. They largely read their papers & slept. In later years they took to turning up, signing in & fckg off. These are facts btw. It only ended as they retired ... usually with a pay-off to go. Initially ASLEF insisted on them being replaced ! You may see "looking after" as their role, but it's sinful, blackmail, wasteful & bullying in reality.

I think they should be subject to a stairwell noncebashing which leaves them quadraspazzed on a lifeglug.

Miami’s thread, Miami’s rules.😉

Classic Miami

Always been shite with numbers. PS , the 6.17 from Howfen has departed .

@Mounts Kippersomething to tell the class?

Yep. Anyway, the BOE sold the gilts for 23 billion making 4 billion profit.

Nothing to do with train drivers. This is the RMT. Doris who works in the ticket office on £10.50 an hour and Bert in the cafe on similar money, that's who they represent amongst others. If she's on £400 a week, I'd be surprised and they think another £18 a week covers the increases in her outgoings?

It was a play on "Emmental", rather than an attempt to impersonate a real person.

I hate phone calls. One of my biggest annoyances is when I text someone they ring back. Or if someone rings they dont leave message or simply text in the first place. Fuck off ringing me.

OK @paulhanleyhere goes… 78 - don’t actually have that clear a memory of the game. With my dad being a Burnden Paddock regular I would have missed any of the entertainment on the Manny Road prematch but I do remember the Embankment being packed and a fantastic atmosphere 79 - will always be my favourite game. My mate’s dad had STs at both City and United (weirdo) for him and his son as he just loved football and had moved to Manc to study medicine and was one of those blokes who just went to any game that was being played locally no matter who. Remember going to his house straight after getting back from school and them two, me and my brother getting into his VW Beetle and trundling over to OT. Thing that struck me about OT was the sheer size of the place. My dad had taken me to plenty of aways in places like York, Mansfield, and Sheffield but OT was summat else I have to admit. At Burnden I remember there being one burger trolley outside the Burnden Paddock but at OT there were loads everywhere. My mate and my brother sat in the ST seats in the stand opposite the cameras. Me and his dad stood in the paddock just below. I remember going mental when the second goal went in and loads of disgruntled Manc’s disappearing out of said paddock grumbling at my mates dad that I shouldn’t be there. After the match I remember loads of Bolton celebrating and a few brief scuffles but the main thing was all the cars heading back to Bolton with scarves hanging out the windows 2007 - had gone there and back on the tram and train. The elation of winning was just superb. I’d not been there in 2001 or 2002 so that was the first time since the 79. Stayed in Scott’s (I think) to get a later train back but very much remember having to keep my head well down the whole way home My dad detested Utd as Louis Edwards utterly fucked him over on a business deal. Any time we were near OT in the car as a young kid he would point at the place and say that it was built on bent money. I could listen all day to his tales of the 58 final and his celebrations in The Liberal Club in London post match when, much as now, there were a large number of Cockney Reds who were mightily pissed off about Nat’s challenge on Harry Gregg. He started watching BWFC late 1920s and apparently we had a poor record against them both pre and post war so 58 made it all the sweeter for him. Wish I’d spoken to him more about that era following BWFC
