Paul Scholes 600 Up

Last night (Wednesday), Paul Scholes made his 600th appearance for ManUre in their victory against Portsmouth which puts them clear of Liverpool again in the race for the Premiership title.


If you didn't know, Paul Scholes is Oldham born and bred and he is a serious REAL LATIC fan. When he can, he gets to Boundary Park to watch THE REAL LATICS play and I have been told on and off that when Paul finally decides to hang his boots up at Old Trafford, he wants to play for his hometown club for a season or two.


If ManUre win the title for the third successive season, could Mr Scholes be playing in the Blue of THE REAL LATICS next season?

Pretty in Pink

When The Real Latics step out to play Leeds United next month at Boundary Park, they will be doing so in a bright Pink kit.

Pink shirts, Pink shorts and Pink socks.

After the game, the shirts will be auctioned off to help raise funds for the Victoria Breast Unit at the Royal Oldham Hospital.


Tomorrow, The Real Latics entertain Northampton Town.

The REAL Latics Up to Third

The REAL Latics are up to third in League One after beating Hartlepool United, Monday evening 2-1 at Boundary Park.

The game was re-arranged after being postponed at the weekend.

Dean Windass, signed on loan from Hull City, made his debut and hit the bar from a free-kick.

The REAL Latics scorers were Lee Hughes and Dean Smalley. Latics also scored Hartlepool's goal, Kelvin Lomax the culprit.

The REAL LATICS Get Back to Winning Ways

The REAL LATICS got back to winning ways at Boundary Park tonight by beating League One leaders Scunthorpe United 3-0.


Lewis Alessandra (pictured above) scored a hat-trick.


This important win moves the REAL LATICS back into fourth place in League One.

The 'REAL' Latics Top of The League

After their 4-0 demolition of Cheltenham Town at Boundary Park this afternoon, the 'REAL' Latics are top of League One, two points clear of Leicester City, who are looking to make a quick return to the Championship.

Oldham's Lee Hughes scored a hat-trick inside 17 minutes.

Already..... The Comeback of the Season!!!

And the Football League has only just kicked off!!!

As you know this blog is dedicated to the REAL LATICS - Oldham Athletic.

Yesterday at Boundary Park, Oldham played host to Millwall in their first League One game of the 2008/09 season in front of a crowd of 5,367.

Millwall took the lead inside 15 seconds, Oldham equalised through Andy Liddell on 3 minutes - Millwall went 3-1 up and then the comeback started.

Liddell got his 2nd from the penalty spot, (Millwall had Robinson sent off) Alessandra made it 3-3 and Oldham born and bred and Oldham fan Chris Taylor scored the winner with five minutes to go.

Here are all the goals:

Boundary Park - Home of The Real Latics

First Post and Welcome

Despite the title of this blog and the fact that there is an Oldham Club Crest in my profile pic, this blog isn't about Oldham Athletic FC.

Nor is this blog about any other particular club.

Let me explain the reason for the title. I am very good friends with a loyal, die-hard Oldham Athletic supporter, who lives in the town and follows the club up and down and all over the country. We have known each other for a good few years and over the time I have developed a bit of a soft spot for The Latics of Boundary Park.

Anybody that tells you different that the 'Latics' of Wigan are the real ones - take no notice - Wigan is a rugby town.

Have to mention Oldham's fine win at Port Vale on Saturday, 3-0 and I know 'me man' was there.
