A view from the Dale side of the fence

How many of the saves and blocks made did you miss ?!!! And what would a Barnsley supporter know about a regulation away win ?

 

Martyr alert.

 

I'm not having that !! we've had much luckier already

 

Could do with some of that luck then

 

There was it was straight in front of me near the half way line.

I'm guessing your a Rochdale fan? If so you wouldn't have had a good view of the incident from any of the stands so what you mean to say is 'I didn't see any elbow incident'

 

Yeah , because we are such a rough house team. Come on don't get silly now - we are one of the nicest teams around, too nice at times - I didn't see anyone trying to snap anyone's legs - we couldn't if we tried - there was barely a tackle in the game.

 

Not a bad report, but you didn't mention Cole, who destroyed you. Time and time and time again,

 

Didn't notice him at all. Any quality was in a red shirt and the reall quality came from Cole. If you can't acknowledge that, then there's no reason at all to read any more of your posts.

 

Chuckling at this.

 

He's just instantly become my least favourite player, I fecking despise pony tails on men. Especially that new craze of having really greasy blonde hair and about an inch of pony tail near the top of your head. The Swindon substitute who scored the 2nd goal last week had the perfect example. They're fecking horrible.

Rant over

 

The guys on player said it looked about 1200. I think it seems more when you're sandwiched in the middle of it. I remember going to Peterborough a few years ago on the standing terraces and someone estimating we'd taken more than we had as they were packed in. Yet we stood towards the corner flag and had tons of room either side of us.

 

1300-1400 will be right. Each block of that stand has roughly 500 and you had 3 blocks from what I could see. Certainly not the 2000 Whitey mentioned. Shame you were on such a woeful run or you would have certainly brought 2000+.

 

Thats exactly how we played under hill every week.

 

Thought that myself, looked closer to 2000 then 1000.

 

Then which game were you watching???????

 

Genuinely don't remember writing that. I'm a bigger idiot when I'm pissed than I am sober and that takes some doing. Although I was right about one thing, Cole was the best attacking player on the pitch. He's still learning and he's still getting a few things wrong, but that guy really is fast.

 

Nowt idiot about it mate. I think it was a genuinely funny reply to 442's post and I'm guessing he'd read as such.

 

Hope so.

 

I did indeed. You'd have to have had a few or not know your football to have been oblivious to Allen's ability.

 

Their sub, Hery, he retrieved the ball in his own box, thought he could run it out etc, unopposed. Devante was 30 yards away, and still caught him up, got to him, forced him out and think it went for a throw near the corner flag. I applauded that more than I did the goal. Because for all his Welbeck-esque talent, that showed his character. He was chasing their players down all afternoon. Worked his sack off. As did Winnall.

If Lita had played yesterday we'd have lost.
