"Second win in three days", for Dale, according to the commentator. See Jim, it can be done. [Post edited 25 Aug 21:16]

.... Rekeil Pyke is playing for Truro.
I was desperate for him to be booked, when he played for us, and the ref to have to ask him his name so we could all shout .... Well you know what 😄 [Post edited 25 Aug 20:49]

The team was on a team sheet given away free. That will be the collector's item :-) |

It's one game that's gone wrong. Let's all give our heads a wobble and see if Jim learns from this error of judgement and gets us back on track again.
After all he has recruited well and we can't argue about the previous games this season. |

I was at the game and we were stunned when we saw the team sheet. But we all believed we had 2 players for each position, so what could possibly go wrong?
Well, it showed us that the second string are not as good as we thought they were. They might shine individually when they get a chance in the first team but this team selection did not gel. How demoralising for the lads!
We were back to pedestrian football. No pace, no one who could run to the by line and cross. All our attempts were down the middle and snuffed out until Tobi came on.
Levi had a marker stuck to him like glue, so we couldn't get a ball to him.
Honestly, we might have had all the ball but we couldn't do a thing with it. It was one of the dreariest matches I have seen in a long time. The complete antithesis of Wednesday.
Don't believe any flannel Jim might spout about the match: we were cr@p.
I commented at half time that our hole had already been dug too deep and no matter who we brought on, the damage had been done.
Ref was bobbins and all! [Post edited 24 Aug 7:59]

The Heed had a great chant: "Backwards and sideways everywhere we go...."
Struck a chord did that. Hopefully we won't have to borrow that song for a while. |

Aye. MacBride and the curse of the former player.... Even the Gateshead fans were cheering that goal.
That was as good a performance as I have seen in a long, long time.
I can't wait to see Amantchi fully unleashed. To have two tall players in a Dale squad is unheard of. But two who can actually play??!! Wow! [Post edited 20 Aug 23:00]

I thought the same when Mani got booked. A player fired up and passionate, who cares.
It was an Alty payer who dragged him away and calmed him down. All credit to their player for that. [Post edited 16 Aug 17:30]

An odd one really but has stuck in my mind was Donnelly's goal v Burton. We had never got a point off them and they had taken the lead. We could not break them down. Donnelly smacked a shot and, I can't just remember whether it hit one of their defenders or he just miss hit it, but it flew into the air, over the keeper's head , who managed to claw it out of the goal. We weren't 100% sure whether it had crossed the line but the ref thought about it and gave the goal and we drew.
As I say not a particularly good goal but it broke our duck against the Brewers. And probably added another grand on the fee we received for him when he got sold 😀 |

Bizarre when you look at last season that I regard it as a disappointing season.
I would like us to win something. Apart from the Lancs Senior Cup and the occasional Rose Bowl we haven't left our mark on any major competition.
Play-offs too hopefully, but we should have enough about us to challenge for top spot. |

You are not far off the truth there 442. I think it is more down to actually having somebody to get on to the end of the crosses. We watched so many of Tobi's balls into the box go to waste last season. |

A couple of the stewards in Sandy were wishing us all good evenings as we were leaving. Not had that before. |

Non-event the first half may have been but we were a whisker away from scoring three goals.
Tobi sent two beautiful pinpoint crosses which Mani and A N Other got their heads to, which their keeper did well to save and Barlow blazed high and wide from one of the rebounds - which he really should have scored from.
Then some great pressing of their keeper from Mani resulted in him blocking his attempted clearance. The ball stalled in between them and, in the bit of a scramble that ensued, had Mani gone down, he may have won a penalty.
There was excellent defending from us and from what I saw of Amantchi, he looks an exciting prospect. [Post edited 2 Aug 19:27]

Burnley's friendly v Lazio will be available on Meta Quest headsets as "a first-of-its-kind virtual reality broadcast"
Not quite sure what to make of that. I suppose if you really can't get to a match it might be the next best thing. Will have to give it a try. It's free to view if you have a Quest headset, apparently. [Post edited 1 Aug 9:39]
