Oldham Athletic 0 v Charlton Athletic 0

Pity the 183 poor sods who made the trip today. Our first 0-0 in 70-odd leagues games - the last one was also against Holdam Athletic. The only goal-less game in the top five divisions!


I didn't listen to much of the game but the commentators were obviously bored stiff and were chatting instead of commentating. I have been wondering recently whether we could get Premium TV or whatever they are called under the Trades Description Act. They don't appear to have any control over the service they provide. We are often listening to some other game to start with, we have had to endure some absolutely hopeless commentators and far too often it's inane drivel and no commentary.


Anyhow, the main talking point from today's match was the sending-off of Christian Dailly just after the half-hour mark. It's his third sending off of the season and probably symptomatic of time catching up with a proud player. It will mean he is banned for the next five games and can begin his Summer holidays early - wahoo! If his contract is up for renewal in the Summer, it could well be his last appearance, especially if the Board are going to be as ambitious as some expect.


I wish we could just concede defeat and the remaining points and forget this season. At least there are only three home games left; Huddersfield, Rochdale and Hartlepool. It's been a shocking second-half to the season and significant changes must be made or next season could be the worst ever.
