I was surprised that the Ref allowed the Pools Keeper to play in all yellow, surely a direct clash with Dales all yellow 2nd kit! |

I agree and wish to comment upon your point the Chairman "having a swipe at fans for interfering with the sale of their own club" was totally unacceptable, those fans who post on this forum have been absolutely amazing, rooting out the shitehawks, the same shitehawks whom if the Chairman had had his way would now be stripping assets and running the club into the ground ! |

Someone "needs to read the riot act" I totally agree with that however, defiantly not the Chairman, his communication skills are that of a snobbish, pompous and out of touch £wa£ which will rub the players and management up the wrong way and only make matters worse - we require someone of the calibre of a Churchillian "fight them on the beaches " you know someone you'd have in your trench sadly, that isn't Mr Gauge!
Who then, sadly we don't seem to have anyone ! |

Exactly my thoughts Newbury, if I may , in addition from the glimpses I saw of Conway during his brief loan spell at Dale, he looked to me as the real deal at this level (proven over our two games against Fylde ) Big Jim preferred Ufuye (nowhere near good enough, even at this level) Conway didn't get the required pitch minutes therefore, he was recalled by Bolton, rightly so !
Conway went stright back out on loan to Fylde where he's been putting in man of the match performances since, I'm absolutely baffled ! |

Exactly, I've been saying this to anyone that's willing to listen since Pep introduced "possession football playing rom the back" but squads can't play the "City Way" with players that don't have similar calibre of players as the City player's - possession, playing from the back seems to be the in thing, fashionable, even at Dog and Duck level in fact Managers at Clubs at all levels, standards and age categories seem to have got the bug and are instructing their squads to play the City Way/Pep way, I recently watched a Sunday League game were the Keeper was kicking/rolling the ball out 10 yards to a "Full Back" who couldn't even trap the ball, no variation, no clearing their lines, no Gerrit - ing it Forhead or relieving pressure, constantly on the back foot, being dispossessed time and time again !
Back to your post Drigdale, with regards to Dale, I'm not saying that its that bad but I do see similarities to the Dog and Duck not having good enough players, trying to play a certain style more suitable for top players , you've summarized everything I needed to say with in your first one and a half lines ! |

Thanks for your post Dalei - I hope that the young lad is OK and that what amounts an unacceptable experience hasn't put him off attending future Dale matches, your post reminded me of an incident when my son was 7 years old, I can see him now in my minds eye with his Dale shirt, scarf and clutching his Desmond Doll , the couple in directly in front of us ( I still see them now attending Dale games) were F - ING this and F - ING that, with the odd C and T thrown in, just futile, senseless, moronic swearing , so I asked then very politely to refrain from swearing there're response "why don't you F - OFF! Yeh, F - OFF into the family stand! " My son and I moved to another seat out of earshot from these two charmers,
it still brings a lump to my throat when my son said "Daddy does that mean that they don't want me to be a Dale Fan anymore" I wrote to the Club and received the response I'd expected - we take this sort of thing very seriously etc - with regards to the young lad who left in floods of tears, as I've said I really do hope that this sad experience hasn't put him off, as far as my son goes, he's now in his 20's and his support for the Dale is as strong as ever ! |

Spot on Brierls, it's a case of a player who looked the part not getting much game time and a player who hasn't/ doesn't look the part getting game time, from the glimpses of Conway that I saw he has the makings of a decent player sadly, for whatever reason he didn't get his chance at Dale, he'll now go out on loan elsewhere and be brilliant and we'll be stuck with Oduroh ! |

I thought that the Boreham Wood match commentator was the best opposition commentator I've heard, clearly researched the Dale, unbiased, fair and honest, he had everything that sadly most way commentators don't have ! |

RIP Mavis - my sympathy goes out to both Mavis's family and you Michael , Michael you've been a true friend and companion to Mavis you are both at the top of the all time Dale supporters list - Michael do you recall our chat at Wimbledon (just inside the turnstile) a few years ago when I introduced my young son to her and took photo's , my link is that Mavis supported Shawforth FC when she was a young women and that my Dad was one of her favourite players - god bless Mavis. |

I think this is a fantastic idea 49th , I'd be shocked....Well, no I wouldn't actually be shocked if the Club didn't run with this one or something similar however, the Club do seem keen on getting the Kitchen up to scratch and starting up a take - a - way service, maybe they are waiting for a investor to drop £40K in their laps, they may not have the resources, will nor motivation to get your idea off the ground, maybe they are putting "400 - 6 x 20 vouchers =100" in place as I type, I don't know however, as it stands it's the best way to raise the required £40K that I've heard, I don't want to jump the gun but the primary problem being as I see it is if there's a stampede to spend vouchers over the first couple of weeks then the outgoings will way exceed the incomings if there's no capital to cover that initial period then it's going to be difficult to get off the ground ! |

Dalenet - unless your some kind of wind up merchant, in which case well done I've taken the bait, your sarcastic comments are in my opinion unnecessary, you've totally missed the point, the customer chose to attend the ticket office in person, maybe he doesn't have a printer, I don't know, the fact of the matter is that the ticket office was closed when it should have been open!
Yet another example of Rochdale FC shoddy customer service. |

There are so many interesting post's on this subject, I'll tag on the end of yours EllGazzell if I may - for me Dunphy said it all when he said something very similar to " I've promised the wife and myself that I'd never get involved again" he was/is never going to get seriously involved in RAFC again furthermore, he doesn't (never has had) the financial clout required at the level of investment required , why he pretended to have throw his takeover hat in the ring shortly after relegation was confirmed - only Dunphy himself knows!
Spanner in the works comes to my mind...... |

Nigel, I believe that your primary objective is the stir the preverbal shite however, if I'm correct in thinking what your referring to then you may have a valid point, had the B of D already made pervious plans to seek outside investment whilst continuing to lead supporters on into believing that Rochdale AFC would remain a "Fan Owned" Club ? |

I'll second that, we (The Dale, or any squad for that matter) can't be expected to play the "City way" if we don't have the calibre of the City players, Jim isn't Pep either, surely Jim won't persist with a system that works fine with the elite top Leagues but doesn't work in League 5 !
Never the less Jim seems to have the respect of the players and visa versa, Jim's first job, off load the chaff and bring in some wheat so to speak !
Good Luck Big Jim ............. |

Agree with your post Northern, I'd like to add, it would be criminal to retain John on top wages sitting on the bench offering zero and allowing Danny to go elsewhere because we can't afford to offer him a decent contract to entice him to stay, then again thats the Dale way of doing things! |

I have rather (agree, Dogshite by the way) vague memories of "Big Willow" -
1) Burnley fan acquaintance informing me that he was absolutely "Dogshite" or very similar the day after we signed him.
2) He was courting or married to a girl who was the owner of one of his previous Clubs.
3) He missed a sitter (2 yards out of an open goal) in the last few minutes verses York city in the League Cup had he scored we'd have won - York drew Man Utd in the next round at Old Trafford and beat em 2 nowt .
As I said rather vague memories . |
