Reply | Dale drawn at home in FA Cup second round
at 23:17 9 Nov 2026
That was before the current TV deal came in.
The BBC only have 14 live games all season - two in each round from round 1-6, one semi-final and the final.
Wikipedia suggests S4C could choose to show Welsh teams, but they didn't on Saturday (Newport v Walsall) and nothing else online implies that's the case. |

Is there any need for that last comment, which follows on from something similar last week?
I'm fairly sure the "sickies", as you call them, would rather be playing. |

No, you also have to remember there was only one sub in his day and subs were rarely used.
Smith came on as a sub twice in his 345 appearances. |

That's today's quiz question.
NL by season:
23/24: 21 (+18 sub)
24/25: 9 (+32 sub)
25/26: 5 (+24 sub)
Total: 35 (+74 sub) |

Don't be surprised :)
Full figures by competition are:
League 1: 240
League 2: 107
NL: 109
Play-Offs: 3
FA Cup: 31
Carabao Cup: 14
EFL Trophy: 12
National League Cup: 8
FA Trophy: 7
TOTAL: 531
414 starts, 117 as a sub.
He needs two more sub appearances to set another club record. |

Another alternative view.
He might have played more earlier in the season and picked up a few niggles that limited his subsequent appearances, thereby meaning the record was still out of his grasp. Unlikely, given his track record, but in the context of this season, less unlikely.
As you say, it's something of a no-win situation.
If we were top of the league and winning every week, this would have been a non-issue. |

"... you are going to play most of the season on pitches and in weather that do not lend themselves to " technical" intricate football.
"EFL2 is the land of giants , six foot, 13,14 stone players are the opposition."
It's not 1985 anymore, you know!
The pitches this season have so far been excellent, including our own, while I can't recall any of the teams who have beaten us having a plethora of 'giants' in their teams.
Granted, it might rain a bit more now. |

The away end is at the opposite end of the ground now. Hopefully it won't detract from the view! |

To be fair, at Dale he wasn't playing in a team that had nine men against an opponent who had pushed everyone up in an attempt to recover from 2-0 down, thereby allowing the nearest Carlisle player who collected the clearance to race the full length of the field with opposing players in pursuit! |
