I realise some of you may have zero interest in this which is fair enough but from time to time I like to have a snoop on OppositionWays out of curiosity. Thought it was worth compiling some together which I'll do in this thread whenever I get chance. 

Seems like Lincoln have some pretty level headed fans but then one or two absolutely bitter fuckers. 

Pick of the bunch includes:

THE BITTER

Quote

How about 10 points deducted for every £million of debt a club has?
Wonder just how low these perennial cheats would drop?

Quote

Red Wimp said:

Bolton stayed in Lincoln last night. Not leaving much to chance.

No that was so they could rack up extra debt.

Quote

Surely we can't lose to these cheats?
Why are they not on multiple minus points?

Quote

I'd rather be us than them. How long do they have to pay their debt?

Quote

The simple truth is, as much as the away fans won't want to admit it, we lost to one of those vile clubs tonight. One of those that has spent beyond their means, and clearly continues to do so.

 

THE PRAISE

Quote

Good game. Shit result.
By the standards of last season Bolton should be pushing for promotion. But then that was last season.

Quote

Beaten by the better team. Good to see a big away following.

Quote

FT. Good game. Credit to Bolton - they did enough to control the game throughout, although we had some bright moments, especially in the first half. They also scored at exactly the right time and managed the game out. 

Quote

Bolton also look like a really good side who should be in the top half of the table.

Quote

I have backed Bolton to win the league as I think they are a decent team. They looked like a very settled team that are used to winning.

Pressure on Bolton to get into play offs

Quote

Can't see Bolton scoring as many as 1

Quote

Bolton still have that weak mentality, despite the manager change, but I do fear the 10 year+ run will come to an end.

Although i said exactly the same both times we played them last year, and earlier in the season too

Quote

I think we’re under the most pressure against them for a long time …lowest scorers in the league and we lost the highest of those scorers.

First half on Saturday showed again we just don’t score enough especially when on top and even when chances to do so come along and we don’t convert.

Quote

my head says 1 nil to them tw@ts & my heart says 2 nil to us.

Quote

They're shit. 1-0. Own goal. We don't need strikers to beat Horwich.

Quote

our main problem is the squad is so unbalanced and unfortunately for Ryan Lowe he is stuck with it until he can get many of them out the door. I fully expect Bolton to win tomorrow and to make the playoffs. Its a big ask for Ryan to get a decent tune out of what he has inherited and I bet he can't wait for the transfer window to open . Up the tics.

Quote

Maloney and Evatt a future partnership for some club. Good cop, Bad cop. Same shit football.

Quote

Difficult one to call. Both teams have new managers who know each other well so may cancel each other out. They seem to lose every derby, no matter who it’s against suggesting a mentality problem, even under their new gaffer. We are pitiful at scoring and can’t convert the most basic of opportunities. Both teams need points for different reasons. Coin flip for me.

Quote

We created more chances on Sat in first 20 mins and in last 20 mins. Two strikers playing together, and 7 shots on target. A bit of luck and we could have 2 or 3 goals on opening play. A few more weeks by Ryan could see us win on Tuesday. 3 1 Latics

4-0 Latics
Aimson, Taylor, Carragher, Asamoah.

What's the shortest reign of any permanent Latics manager?

Quote

Well that was a hard take.. seriously 2 SHITE teams and yet one of those are going for play offs. The quality of Bolton was nothing short of w@nk yet they scrawp a goal. The corner leading to goal could have been stopped & cleared but hey ho that's us all over

Quote

Two shit sides. Dale Taylors workrate apart what an inept performance. Giving away the corner at the end was unbelievably bad. Ref was a moronic piece of shite. One consolation the ball was going forward. How shit was that January window? Lowey has a massive job on this summer.

Quote

That performance tonight was NO better than Maloney's tenure....but I guess that's the squad we've got

Quote

At least the ball was going forward.
Bolton slightly better quality and probably just about deserve the 3pts if there was going to be a winner.
You can see who has the biggest wage bill but I can't see them winning any playoff.

Quote

Said before the game midfield would get over run. And they did second half.
You can’t play a game of football. With out any goal scoring threat up front
Manger needs to be fined a weeks wage.
Mcmanaman. Shouldn’t kick a ball again. Shocking should have had a red card. Thanks for the memories but them two tackles. Nothing short. Of disgraceful. Can see us not winning in Lowes first 6 games.

Right in front of us - you're absolutely correct.
I've been to three games at the Brick in the last 4 days, the officiating has been shocking in all of them.

Quote

A big whoops for Mr Lowe after tonights result. How long has it taken horwich fc to beat Wigan Athletic ?
The new manager bounce came and disappeared during the international break.

We have a manager who has imposed a style of play that does not suit the attacking players at all.

Shame about the result. I thought it was heading for a 0-0. Neither team looked like they would score
Bit disappointed that two players decided to allow the ball to go out of play .... the pitch looked like it had slowed the ball right down .... and then conceeding that sweaty effort.

Quote

Tics 0 Whites 1

1. Referee.
Disgusting. Needs reporting for that. Shambles. Blatant penalty not given, Bolton having an absolute field day when it came to fouling us.
...

Better team won. We were never really at it today and all the bullshit before the match was an embarrassment. Half expected us to come out to John Cena's entrance music or some other nonsense.

Quote

I wonder if Lowe has a relegation release clause in his contract?

Quote

We'd have won that with Maloney in charge.

Quote

Shit game and a typical derby in many respects. Two poor teams though in fairness I thought they were more front fronted. Absolutely diabolical defending for the goal.

Poor up front again but when you don’t recruit forwards this is what happens. It’s still staggers me we never addressed our most obvious need in the summer yet indulged Maloneys fetish for recruiting the worst set of wingers this club has seen.

Well and truly in a relegation battle and that last Tuesday night game away to burton looks like a decider.

Quote

Inept display, no quality anywhere.

Both teams were equally dreadful 1st half …Bolton improved to be almost mediocre in the second (we regressed!)

Although they created nothing of note and Tickle didn’t need to make a save ….the goal was coming nonetheless and it was telling how much farting about we did to delay taking a goal kick …at home….with over 20 minutes to go …

Quote

The defending for their goal was 'shocking' it should have been well cleared out of our box, far too much 'faffing' about in your own box. it's like watching Sunday League Football.

and NOT in a game we were winning ….embarrassing as the team knew we had no chance of scoring.
Lots of quick high balls to our dwarf forward line, Bolton centre halves had the easiest game of heading practice they could have wished for.

Sickening to concede a 93rd minute scruffy goal from a post corner scramble ….one where we failed to clear the ball multiple times.
I'd say we got just what we deserved in the end.

Very disappointing to see Ryan Lowe adopt the ‘Evatt posture’

Quote

Disappointing night really, but got to say though that the best part was watching them men's celebration when they scored.

Did anyone else not know it was the equivalent of FA Cup and Champions League Final combined?

Quote

Bl**dy hell the defending for that goal looks even worse than it did in the flesh

Quote

given that the previous Noblot manager, a certain billy big bollocks Evatt saying that Noblot players had class & would never celebrate in front of home fans....that quote stood the test of time...not.
Absolutely shite to watch them celebrate the win but I somehow doubt they'd have been celebrating with SM at the helm instead of RL 

Quote

Quote

We are very limited on quality and Bolton have the stronger squad on paper so it seemed like our plan was to just drag them into a battle which they generally aren't good at to just grind them down sheer effort. But I think we acted like the gap in quality was far bigger than it is.

...

In the first hour i thought our organisation, aggression and pressing were improved from earlier in the season and we out ran, out worked and out fought them. Bolton couldn't ever settle on the ball and we were constantly forcing them out of their game.

But as fatigue set in and the subs (some forced, some unforced) not doing their job anywhere near as well as the men they replaced saw us start to leave gaps and giving Bolton more time and space and they started to get on top. The defending to conced the winning corner looked very poor from us.

After 10 years Bolton were eventually going to get a slice of luck and they got it with a scruffy, scrambled winner from set piece in injury time. I thought a goaless draw would've been a fair result as neither side really troubled either keeper.
 

Quote

See the Horwich faithfull were getting on the backs of the players but celebrated like they had won the cup. To think that we are just tinpot and not a rival to some of them too. What I couldnt work out was our six yellows to none for Horwich.

Quote

Can't really have any complaints about the result tonight tbh. It wasn't a good game quality wise but to me Bolton did have the better of it and their winner at the end was deserved. Very poor defending in the box for it though. Several chances to clear our lines, take none of them and are punished for it at the death.

...

I thought Forino probably player of the match for Bolton tonight at the back but also think Forrester and Dacres-Cogley came out with a large amount of credit too. They locked down defensively the right flank of the pitch and barring the cross for Asamoah's header that was off target in the first half they both kept Jonny Smith quiet all game. Hence why he was hooked just after half time.

Quote

I'd agree with most of that, thought it had 0-0 written all over it though. Forino was reasonable for them, if nothing special, unfortunately Santos wasn't in their team which almost certainly makes them better at the back (unless they've got a worse centre half in their squad, which would take some doing)

Quote

Bolton have scored many late goals this season. It was inevitable if they got a late corner they would scab one. We gave them a corner by pissing about in defence with the ball rather than getting shut. Then it happened.
The Horwich lot then showed the joy of beating Tinpot Little Wigan who aren't their rivals.

Quote

Injuries haven’t helped (particularly in midfield) but we also left ourselves really short of options in attack. That was the difference last night. We couldn’t keep possession as nobody in midfield got hold of the ball for us. Towards the end of the game they started to take control and deserved to get the win. I wasn’t overly impressed with them though, apart from the defence they were very lightweight and had no pace in the team. I think their supporters would’ve been very frustrated with the performance had that late goal not gone in.

 

Horwich 😭

Spot on that last quote, the goal really saved some stick coming. The lightweight and no pace bit especially and something Schu really needs to work on if we are to make the top six.

Edited April 2, 20251 yr by Whitesince63

Sounds like threads on here when we lose.

No physicality in midfield and need a striker with presence up front. 

Robin Park 0 - 1 Horwich

Tinpot inbred wankers.

 

I reckon you could have just about fit all of their fans in that stand to the left of us. Terrible support!

Of the 92 clubs Wigan stand at 89 this season for worst percentage of the ground being empty . Been a very lonely experience for them ratting around the stadium

Can’t be arsed watching it. Where are we in the rankings?

53rd.

Nowt to shout about, but as the guy says, big grounds for the league they're in, will be lower down, even if the crowds are decent.

We're back (until I get bored again)

Had a snoop on StockportWays predictions thread. Not sure how much is tongue in cheek.

0-1.

Edun OG.

Shouts of 'bring back Touray'.

3-1 defeat.

3-0 down at half time. Goal back early second half. Game peters out from there.

Quote

15-1 defeat after going 1 up, Powell in goals after Addai red card in the 3rd minute (no Ben on the bench) does his back picking the 5th goal out of the net leaving us down to 9 as all subs used at HT, Connolly in goals does well to keep it below 20.

Quote

P-P

Quote

2-1 defeat. They're surely due one on us.

Quote

I can see a defeat happening due to defensive errors through the backline not being gelled in matches

Quote

0-0 I miss the game through being too drunk having forgotten the date and time of the match and turning up for pre match pints at 12.30 on the Saturday.

Quote

Our glasses really seem half empty at the moment. Optimism will only increase when the new signings walk through the door even if nobody has ever seen them play before.

Quote

(Thomason going)

Huge blow that for Bolton. Which is nice.

Quote

Can see this being a 2-1 win. Mothersille and Diamond

Quote

3-2 win. Bate, Mothersille, Wootton.

0-3.

Wigan 89th from the 92🤣

I was out with some mates and approached in a bar in Spain by a Wigan dickhead who recognised my Bolton top and decided to say something - which was a measure of his stupidity given the lads I was with (not BWFC btw) - and he would have been battered if I hadn’t diffused the situation by saying that it was a helluva coincidence meeting here as I know the other Wigan fan. Lads laughed at him and he fucked off, but he owes me one whoever he is.

Pretty remarkable to spot someone from Wigan outside of Wigan. I've lived down south 25 years now and met ex-pat folk from all the Lancs towns. Never Wigan. 

... presumably they are too attached to various pie shops and the price of Lonsdales tracky bottoms rises elsewhere.
