Hobson plays on the borderline and quite often finds himself the wrong side of the rule book. However today he wasn't actually that bad. The high shot he got penalised for was high but he was trying to stop a break away and panicked- a bit different to some of his pens this season when he is in the defensive line and puts a high shot in on the ball carrier.

The Best fight was actually caused by the Oldham player (was it not their winger Gillam). Something happened on the floor and then Gillam got up said something, shoved Best, Best shoved him back but then took a couple of steps backwards before Gillam went for him again and then it was on. If the Yellow was coming out, it was for both.

The ref was poor in that he was inconsistent, but also didn't get a firm grip on the game from the start which led to constant messing about and lying on. However, his errors seemed to balance up in the game. Thought the T.J.'s were actually quite good though as they got involved and made calls, which is what they should be doing at all levels!

Blackpool were their worst enemies- how many pens given away between their 20-40m lines when they were on the back foot. Two key incidents were Woodcock handling the ball in to touch in the second half which led to a try, and then the knock on from Thomas? which led to them getting another set in our half.

The Oldham fans along the side stand next to the 'All Weather' reminded me of the Leeds South Stand- shout for anything and everything. The ones near myself were not too bad although got irate in the second half as they thought they were going to lose. Some of them seemed to have absolutely no sense of humour though.

bitter about what? Your win? end of day all you got is 2 points , come september is when it matters as id imagine you wont catch Hunslet. Sustain an argument? Like i mentioned before you think you and some of your fans think you have the right to tell the referee how to referee the game, Now calling him a bottler !!! So hobson takes one of your guys high he is a thug??? One of your guys takes casey head off and its a bad reaction??? Now slagging best off , this would be the same best that was goaded into a fight by one of your players pushing him and mouthing off at him. You also accept foggerty stopped a try, in that case should a penaly try not have been awarded??? I say black you say grey

What's Hobson just served a lengthy ban for? Clearly a thug.

Best - we have experience of him playing both for and against us - pushing and mouthing of at him was because he was giving Gilly a facial in the tackle, so pushing him gives Besty the right to start a fight? He's a tool, and that's coming from someone who's played in the same team as him at amateur level and has witnessed his behavior / attitude first hand.

Do you think the ref had a good game? Are we supposed to not comment when he makes a shocking decision or misses something blatant.

Perhaps he should have given a Penalty try, but unfortunately for you the ref had no bottle.

Game over.

We dont get any thing from referees home or away so we have come to expect the penalty count against us and decisions to go against us. Think this attitude towards referees was down to our 45 match losing streak a few season ago, we got the majority of decisions in most games so it evens itself out over the years. As for besty you have your opinion based on your experience/knowledge of him so your entitled to that. He obviously does add to our penalty count which is something we need to erradicate if we are to make the playoffs.

I think in the context of the game Hobson'sand Fogerty's high shots were both of a similar nature- a touch of panic. It should have been both yellow's or none at all. Same goes with Gillam and Best- either they both get 10 mins to cool down or both stay on. You can't incite a fight and then punish the person who retaliates. I actually got the impression Best didn't want to fight after the first round of shoves, but Gillam carried on, so shouldn't be surprised when he copped a few- no significant harm was done to either, so hardly worth a mention, except that it was Best involved. If it had been someone else other than Hobson or Bets involved in the incidents mentioned, nobody would have spoken about it.

Yes, we are passionate about our club, and shout like the next team, but its easy to slag us off when there are 4x more than the home support. Yes you are playing out of town, but Oldham have in the past, and have passed from pillar to post, yet have grown stronger. Loyal and passionate fans we have in Oldham, that we can be guilty of, but nothing else. Yes its really disapointing to lose in the last few seconds, but to slag our fans off..........you are having a laugh.'"
