Thread | REFEREE TODAY
at 19:06 18 Oct 2014
Some replies to posts below about booing the ref off the pitch, defy belief.
He was appalling in his bias,and is probably celebrating Gills equalizer right now.
Even KH got very animated towards him on several occasions.
Allowing Gills to get away with chopping/kicking out, and shirt pulling, whilst blowing up for even a hint of a Dale infringement, especially in the 2nd half, is one thing. Then halting play instantly when a Gill hit the floor and played out the dying swan routine, upset the rhythm of the game. Iddleston did all he could to help Gills get the equalise they did not deserve.
I hope that KH makes an official complaint. |

Barnsley have a history of poaching from Dale, going back many years. Managers and players, who have ALL, gone on to great achievement at other clubs.
So is it not obvious that Barnsley are just a crap club, destined to achieve fkall, as they are currently doing? End of.
They should have learned from Stockport, who did the same years ago. |

I totally agree with this.
They all must buy a programme, simple. At least some revenue and an opportunity to help develop their reading skills in an age wherein they continue to be abysmally failed by the system. |

Why are we so reluctant to have a go even with a half chance?
Several times today we were in a position to hit the fkn ball goalwards, but then passed to a player in a worse position, like pass the fkn parcel?
A shocking example was in the 2nd half when a perfect short cross landed on the head of an unmarked player only 4 yards out with only the keeper to beat. What did he do? Headed it back across the box and saw it easily cleared.So frustrating to see that.
Our set pieces are never seen as half chances either,although TK did have a couple of direct strikes. |

at 20:26 6 Jun 2014
I would have liked to reply to some of the messages below about Fleetwood, but lost the will to live, trying to find a simple "REPLY" tab? I am getting old, but this should NOT be difficult!
Certainly Fleetwood are benefiting from some big, if not bottomless pits, which we don't have. And this news about their new training ground must be fantastic for them. Also interesting is how Hilly viewed Barnsleys training facilities. I visited Bolton's training facilities near Chorley this week, and could not believe them! Cricket pitch and 5 star hotel!
But nothing seems to be the be all and end all, as a formula for success, in the entire football league, even Chelsea! However this is no bad thing as it keeps the door open for any Club to achieve some success in their own way
Even levels of support offer no guarantees of success also. EG, Look at Leeds and Bolton and many Yorkshire Clubs, and others struggling on big gates.
So let's take heart and appreciate the magic that Keith Hill has brought back to the Dale, and in so doing demonstrating that success comes when the Manager/fans and Directors produce a formula that works, without big money and big crowds.

"The least performing club in the history of the football league"
Remember that?
Well they will have to find some other club now for that mantle. Especially if we finish top and thereby get a TROPHY?

Yes me too. I was 19 in in 1969 and admit to running on the pitch along with my mates from Rochdale College.
It's a valid point below as in relegations, but there are only 2.
Think we can stay up as long as we have Hill. |

Thread | PRESSURE THIS WEEKEND
at 20:00 24 Apr 2014
Fortunately out of the top 4 we have the least pressure, in terms of opposition needing to win. Hope it helps, but "it's a funny old game".
1) Dale. v Cheltenham who have nothing to gain except pride. And we are at home for the last home game of a wonderful season.
2) Scunny. v Exeter who remain in the relegation dog fight, needing points for real safety, and Exeter are at home.
3) Chesterfield. v Burton who are safe in the playoffs and would need snooker scores and 2 wins to get to automatic. And Chesterfield are at home.
4) Fleetwood. v Southend, who cannot get to automatic but safely in playoffs. And the Cod army are at home. |

Note ickle fleetwoods big message board on their tiny ground. Very effective. LED brightness.
These cost c £18000. My Company would be willing to contribute in return for advertising/sponsorship etc. I wonder how many other Rochdale Companies would be prepared to do the same?

I remember him well as a solid defender, who had a nice habit of turning to the fans when he triumphed, with knowing looks and gestures etc.
Sometimes you need bruisers like him, to put fear in the oppo, and I would love to see him back! |

I want to go to Fleetwood on Saturday with 3 family members.
I am now informed that this game has become "All ticket" for Dale fans with a c1400 allocation.
So tomorrow early doors I will make my way to the ticket office at Dale, but I'm lead to believe that I will have little chance?
If this remains true, then shame on Fleetwood and we need to chant "NON-LEAGUE, and you know you are".

Thread | MY TAKE ON LAST SATURDAY
at 19:37 3 Mar 2014
1) Enjoyed fantastic result and crowd numbers.
2) Very well matched sides struggled for some domination. And it weren't that pretty to watch? but of course we had no choice.
3) The only difference was Hogan. Without him we would have drawn. Realism.
4) Vincenti played wide? Even taking some corners? Not his strength. Should be ever in the box?
We will bury bury on Friday. |

Thread | BURY BURNLEY and LEEDS
at 19:53 24 Feb 2014
I have friends who support these, and in turn because they are good friends, I follow their results.
Now I appreciate that this is just another sympton of older years?
Who could not wish these Clubs well?
I must say that out of the 3, and only because ROB attacks us on any opportunity and has done for many years, I question Bury's survival prospects in real terms.
Can they come back from their poor financials, and points on the board, and contrary to what robshaker may think, I hope they do. Dale have a great debt-free promotion chase and Bury don't. Bury have a great past, and Dale don't. But the present is all Dale's at the mo.
So come on Rob, bury the hatchet, and give us some credit, unless your cup of vitriol has not yet run out, and you wish to entertain us further. |
