apologies wring thread

Was there a story on here about Bolton doing the Cockney Reds on Piccadilly, one of them phoned for help but had the phone taken off them and met with the comment "Its too late we've smashed them"

think it was too posh and expensive for Bolton and kept getting broke into, so didn't last long

He went to play in the States and was late coming back, didn't go down well with the Manager Ian Greaves. Was the main reason I think, there was also behind the scenes rumours of financial problems at the club and money was needed.

If there was such a thing as a time machine the one match I would return to was that Friday night before Christmas 1978, I was eighteen and the shit received from Bolton rags since primary school was laid to rest in one single 90 minutes. I can't remember the match in great detail but do remember we dominated and Worthington was brilliant. God bless you Frank!

oozed quality and charisma very sad news

Walsall

Spot on, I also worked at a place were a famous weather man was just asked to leave for his indiscretions, nothing else said. He just left and carried on elsewhere.

Bennell was very convincing some of the assaults happened in their own homes, he was in a position of trust and obviously exploited that position. This has happened in all walks of life and also in amateur football in Bolton, where very little was at stake . Google Coleman Bolton Paedophile if you don't believe me.

I know somebody very well who was multiple raped by that twat Bennell, I also know his parents who just blame themselves. He really has done a lot of damage to people that don't deserve it. No laughing matter in my opinion.

first time I went there night match in the cup, think it was a draw, on the coach straight after school. Coach got bricked and very moody afterwards. After that visit, went several times more and never a problem.

It was always Bolton for me. probably around the age of 8, my cousins lived off Manchester Road and at the time time they would open the gates and let you in free for the last half or so. However my Grandad was from Aspul and he took me a couple of times to watch Wigan in non-league he used to love Don Rodgers, he even took me to Maine Road when they drew Man City in the cup. So for some time I viewed them with some affection, but I used to work with Wiganers at Aerospace, and they came out of the woodwork when they beat us a time or two, I grew to intensely dislike them and the Rugby lads were even worse, they thought they were top of the tree. So if they can suffer some of the pain we have suffered or even worse, then I am a happy chappy.

absolutely wonderful made my day watching that

Taggert was a big fucker I once saw him stood in the doorway at the Fox and Stork on Halliwell. He filled the whole doorway, if he grabbed hold of you it wouldn’t be pleasant. The game seems bereft of characters like that now, I miss that.

I have worked today, just looked at the latest posts and thought we were losing 😂

agree

Looks a big bugger

It’s all about opinions, not in a position to speak for him but he seems frustrated, as I am. I hope it’s not another year wasted by making the same mistakes as previous years

For where we are at the moment, Thomason and Arthur in Graham versus Tutte Darcy versus Crawford Brockbank versus Jones Politic versus Sarj/Isgrove maybe not in the side at the same time, but as an investment, not much difference in ability and certainly cheaper. The players mentioned are first team the no marks sat on the bench are not even worth a mention.

Agree, irrespective of contract, if he was getting a sniff of first team minutes he may have thought about it.

No problem with this, however would have been nice to see a little bit more of him, cameo roles from the bench? Instead of the dross sat on their arses at the moment. The quote above about Evatt been tuned into our youth setup, not sure about that. He would rather pay to borrow players from Lincoln.

Completely agree, I thought we would see something different this season, very few loan signings, a squad younger, fitter, fresher and playing a different style, apart from glimpses, we have seen the same old shite.

Commentator just said 4 players 21 or under playing against City. Where are ours? Either on the bench or out of the squad, surely they can't do any worse!!!
