Ever heard of the owner giving the team-talks? 🤯
This Oldham Athletic fans explains why they are protesting against the owner, why he needs to go and his love for the club.

We all yearned for this to happen, we’ve got our club back in the hands of a family who get us. Stop fuckin whinging and show the Rothwell family how much we appreciate their fantastic gesture.
No more negativity, get behind the club and thank Frank we’re still
#oafc
Seriously
@BradleyKnowles1
, either keep off the booze or stand down. You really can’t post the shit you do whilst trying to be the voice of the fans and then try to alienate the club, manager and supporters….

That noise last night was electric, the atmosphere created by
@OA95Athleticos
and the way it reverberates around the ground is outstanding. I’m proud to be a part of it, it’s unprecedented in lower league football. It’s special beyond comprehension
#oafc
I don’t know the finer details of the takeover or the influencers in its progression but kudos and huge respect are due to
@_OASF
@PTB_OAFC
@OA95Athleticos
, FLG and each and every rebel amongst us…. Football’s coming home….
#oafc
£12m, Frank and family, we’re forever indebted to you… thanks is simple but heartfelt….. you’ve made so many people happy, there are no words 💙💙💙
#oafc
Clinton Morrison... not surprised at HK’s sacking, the Oldham owners are renowned for doing that. No one would touch that job with a barge pole.... bang on Clinton
#oafc
And breathe, back to the Joe Royle 80’s… I’ll take that every game, win lose or draw… that’s the football I want. Played on the front foot, some great closing down, bodies on the line and fuckin passion.. needs a few tweaks but that’s the Oldham I fell in love with……
#oafc
Shez, get your bucket and spade packed fella and get yourself off to the beach. If you love the fans like we love and respect you then you’ll walk away from this shitfest with your head held high 🙌🙌🙌
#oafc
@OA95Athleticos
These young men and women have led the support off the field and actually led the protests from the stands and on the pitch. I applaud and respect all of them, I fully back them boycotting, this is the only way forward.. I’m right with you and so should all of us 👏👏🙌🙌🙌
#oafc
On this morn of another great episode in the history of our club, please take a moment to celebrate the final demise of one of it’s darkest, most self righteous, narcissistic and clueless pieces of shit that’s ever darkened it’s doors… good riddance Owen,
#oafc
How bad as that debacle at Fylde affected this # It’s like something’s taken the wind out of our sails. It’s real life people, we’re nowhere near the finished article, Micky’s got a lot of work to do. Let him get on with it and let’s keep onside, keep the faith
#oafc
Let’s see some solidarity and fellow support now people, one single person receives a ban and total boycott, we’re all out. We all goaded on and encouraged the kids to protest, now we support and stand by them. Anyone who doesn’t is either an hypocrite or a real fan 🦕
#oafc
It’s Tommo’s job, everything’s pointing towards it. Sheron extension, Redders and he’s talking on his progressive approach and how things will pan out in the future.
As I said earlier, wasn’t my first choice but I’ve seen enough already to know he’ll get my full support
#oafc
@DorkingWDRS
hope your club benefits from the publicity through being live on TV. Absolutely impressed with your performance and your managerial team, you deserved a point at the very least, respect… See you down there when I google the directions 👏👏👏
#oafc
Hey, the only reason the 1990 Strangeway riots lasted 25 days was because I acted in a purely advisory and fiduciary role to the prisoners ……. Without me it’d have been sorted in a couple of days… I’m da man.
#oafc
Dismissing the sad anglers on here, we’re not going anywhere this season. It’s not consolidation, it’s a progressive and structured attempt at rebuilding a sleeping giant that’s been severely wounded. It’ll take time and patience, your ignorance and deluded arrogance is a -
#oafc
Owen, you’ve created the biggest divide between a club and it’s fans that I’ve ever witnessed. If you have a shred of decency, you’d address the situation and offer some sort of explanation as to what’s going on… you’re a cancer and you’ve helped destroy our club, fuck you
#oafc
Season ticket for 35 years, haven’t been able to get to a game all season. 3 weeks post hip replacement after contracting bone destructive illness in both hips. Booked some sunshine over Xmas period, should be fine for Jan and run in to play offs
#oafc
Listen, the guy loves the challenge and gotta say the attention but it takes some commitment to do what he’s doing in his twilight years…
You take care Frank, god speed as they say and please return safe, triumphant and fulfilled.
The world and Oldham are proud to have you
#oafc
Hey
@CarlPidge
, you’ve been a rock this season and had to endure some awful shit from the ‘fans’…. I’d have you in every side I put out in this division… keep your fuckin head up and keep doing what you do
#theman
#oafc
The 3 best centre halves in the league, three of the best centre minds and two of the best forwards oh and one of the best keepers…. Plus one of the best crossing wing backs and by far the best bench, managed by one of the best at this level
#oafc
Really frustrates me when you read all this shit about us not scoring. We’re not conceding shit loads each game, that was our problem, it only takes one decent effort and we win the game. We ain’t got a bustling target man, so we go with what we have... massive improvement
#oafc
🔹PROTEST ACTION🔸
Following our relegation on Saturday, the pressure on Abdallah Lemsagam to sell the club will intensify. Our first action will be a protest prior to the game against Crawley Town
#oafc
Please read our full statement here
⬇️⬇️⬇️
@OfficialOAFC
Whilst issuing the final written warnings - in order to comply with justification in doing so - you need to evidence that the original misdemeanours were alleged and by whom. You should also furnish the 3 with copies of transcript from meetings.
Failing that, not valid
#oafc
Owen, you’ve blatantly lied in terms of the North Stand, either sue the guys from FLG or offer credence to your statements on the official website. This is clearly a crusade on your own behalf, you’re a horrible piece of shit…killing our club to fuel your ego…fuck off now
#oafc
No way any credible, potential buyer would give this club a second look. We don’t have a viable offer, far too many loopholes, separate entities involved to even begin any sort of negotiation. The assets are so far divided that the effort to consolidate them is impossible
#oafc
@OfficialOAFC
What did SAG have to say about breaching H&S laws, potentially putting people’s lives at risk by blocking fire doors and exits.
#oafc
#sag
@OfficialOAFC
Absolutely take that, honest and hurt… told it how it is, nothing but respect for the man. Get yer men in and take us forward big man # oafs
Sorry Frank but the longer you persist with this fraud then all the goodwill will quickly subside. It’s blatantly obvious, he’s clueless and very much unliked, not because of the man he is but because he’s responsible for serving up this drivel game after game… DO IT FRANK
#oafc
So today might be that day, I really don’t know what to do with myself…. I don’t want to witness the inevitable yet I don’t want to abandon my club in its darkest hour… how the fuck has it come to this…😢
#oafc
Mike Fondop, I say this without any other reason but from what I’ve just witnessed. That my friend is the most complete performance I’ve seen from an Oldham player in years, you have been fuckin outstanding, take bow son, seriously the best ever I’ve ever seen you play 🙌🙌
#oafc
Seriously, if the club doesn’t acknowledge the absolute disgusting views of this Birkett fella, I’ll take civil action against both himself and the club… abhorrent
#oafc
Fundraiser by Gemma M : Tommy the Warrior
This family shouldn’t have to worry about their financial situation whilst devoting their time caring for their young family and being there for Tommy.
Come on
@_OASF
you know what to do
#oafc
#footballfamily
Safe journey home to all the lads and lasses who did us proud tonight… what can anyone say that’s not been said… we’re a proud club, always have been.. you’ve stripped away the lifeblood and soul from me and generations before me Abdallah, do the right thing please
#oafc
Please seek help if you’re venting your spleen on today and all the pre-season games…. Talk to Frank, drink less or just get something interesting and personal to worry about
#oafc
Any passengers alighting at Rochdale, we’ve had to cancel the scheduled stop due to what can only be as a major sinkhole between Oldham and Rochdale….. the gap has disappeared, it’s now irreparable and out of control
#oafc
#rafc
I’d seriously have rather been beaten by Chester than have us publicly humiliated on national tv….absolutely never seen my club play without any heart and desire irrespective of levels of ability
#oafc
Yarney, my one 💕 errr, if I wasn’t straight and liked men that is. Seriously, we’ve found a rough diamond there, well done to whoever brought him into the club
#oafc
The fat, deranged, self obsessed, egotistical, blinkered narcissist has literally promised the Brothers Dim that he’ll get them the North Stand. In doing so, he’s literally made it untenable for any self respecting Oldham fan to physically support
#oafc
at BP indefinitely 🖕
Seriously, all these selling multiple tickets at £50 plus. There’s loyal fans on here who couldn’t get to the ground or online who never expected what happened today to actually happen.
Have a heart and do the right thing, £30 should cover everything.
#oafc
another lesson etc.
I’m lucky enough to remember that our midfielders who lacked natural skill, ran through brick walls and tackled everything that moved back in the day……..
#oafc
If we miss out on winning this league by 10 points or less then the only people I’ll be blaming are the board for not ditching that fat fraud earlier, oh and that podcast bloke for supporting him too. I’m moving on though now, not my 1st choice but I’ll take ST and NR now
#oafc
Meanwhile the doom mongers and manic mouthpieces remain in their seats and muse over whether to remind everyone we’re still crap. 3 points and a clean sheet, I’d call that progressive
#oafc
👏👏
Now if by some miracle, there was a consortium or small gathering of real
#oafc
fans, not backed by a shitload of money btw, who took control of the club and gave it their best shot….. would you back them 100%
Ok, I’ve got kids and grandkids who love going to Oldham, we’re not going anymore… family is no longer an excuse, you either boycott or you take a good look at yourself and admit you’re weak and don’t really give enough of a shit. Simple as that really, kill these bastards
#oafc
BLUE WEATHER WARNING !!!!
Described as ‘prolific’, Storm ThunderBastard has been building in momentum for over 7 days, it’s due to descend on Wealdstone this Saturday. It’s already produced 3 significant ThunderBastards so far and expects to be responsible for many more
#oafc
Everything that football is about, look at the boy’s dad… absolute epitome of why we do what we do and why our kids get it under their skin ….. beautiful moment, they’ll never forget x
#oafc
If I employed and dismissed that number of managers in 3 years, I’d be sacked for incompetence. Of all the players recruited, I think the only outgoing ones that we’ve got money for are products of the youth set up,piss poor recruitment and management right across the board
#oafc
I listened to the latest podcast yesterday, have to say that the passion and enthusiasm that
@MattDean78
displayed, is everything that this club needs. I’ve never really given the guy much kudos but I applaud his dogged determination and vision…respect
#oafc
Shez wants this challenge, he desperately wants to repay the absolute love we feel for him. I get it without any underlying motive that people might associate with the appointment… I’ll support him all over the country but I won’t be there to support him at Boundary Park
#oafc
Sack the media team, sack the recruitment team, sack the owner and management team.
There’s far too much positivity, professionalism and togetherness in this set up.
Give me a piss boil any day, ffs what is there to moan about
#oafc
Get Owen out of our club, poisonous bastard who gives no shits for the club or fans. He’s a cancer, surely his family care enough to tell him to pack it in and try to enjoy his life in retirement…. It really is sad
#oafc
I’ll say it again….. if we fail to make the playoffs from the position we were in and with the squad at his disposal, Mellon will have fucked up big time.
#oafc
Unsworth, turning good players bad, reinventing the beautiful game, telling it how it isn’t and never was. Ruining young lads careers, dividing one of the most loyal fan bases in football and consistently looking to lay the blame anywhere but in his own hands.
Horrible man
#oafc
Extremely disappointing season, underachieved and played some of the most dire football I’ve ever witnessed.
See you next season, I’m now on the beach, so to speak
#oafc
@OfficialOAFC
Go fuck yourselves you lying bastards, your words hold no credibility and mean nothing… Don’t dangle the only honest man in the club as a carrot, that’s low!!
Oh and until you ensure Inspector Gobshite is not involved in the club, forget your statements
#oafc
Lessons learned by everyone over the last year probably no more than Frank. Football’s an emotional rollercoaster, full of highs and lows.
We all love and respect you Frank, yesterday was tough for you, just take it easy and enjoy your time, keep safe and enjoy our club.
#oafc
Lads you must be brave and strong tonight , this is a massive game , I will be watching and shouting you on TV please play you’re hearts out , I love you all and believe in you
@OfficialOAFC
please send the boys my strength , you can do it , let’s go lads 🧤🧤
I do apologise for posting a load of nothing tonight but I really have had enough of the fake Barry accounts… there are some real sad people breathing our air
#oafc
