Probably move the ball by a yard when the ref's already put shaving foam down

David eyres when we got a free kick that wasnt quite in his range 

Plays keepy uppy  whilst the ref deals with their player manages to move up the pitch ten yards before ref turns around to take kick class

I understand it will continue, but with no EFL funding and won't be able to play in an EFL youth league, so likely to be playing against youth from lower non league clubs. 

Also I believe next season our youths can leave for other clubs if they wish.

If so I  think it's imperative we offer contracts now to the outstanding prospects we have.

I have suggested to the club we apply to join the open age Central League North West which contains mainlyleague clubs (although non league clubs have played in it)

to give a mix of youth and experience a better chance of competitive football, but not sure if this will happen.

Iirc other clubs can come in for our youngsters and we get no compensation .so either take the risk or have to give profesional  contracts to youngsters before they are ready which is another risk on the budget .

Havnt listened yet but must be a good interview as Biffo Barry is very exorcised about it on twatter excellent stuff .

I think most of us over mid 50 year old would have been there. 

Yup i was there in the kippax lots of citeah  there iirc they were losing at newcastle 

Realy in two minds about replacing him on the one hand he knows who he needs to retain and release  if he can where as any new manager would need time to asses the strengths and weaknesses of the squad . Cant help thinking that the "other problems " link back to the reid  video and the prolonged punishment of the player if hes popular with the rest of the dressing room some may see it as unfair 

 Can some one explain why we are calling MM  bigfoot now ?

No. Sharp did against Luton. That's the only one, I think.

What happened to the proposal to bring back terracing again, particularly at lower level?

Being in non league could we actually do it?

Iirc once a stand has been built or converted to seating that cannot be reversed although rail seats can be retrofitted (safe standing) .

Something that did frustrate me though is am I right Rochdale were only restricted to selling the top "tier" of the chaddy yesterday. I'd actually quite like to see it relatively full. We turned down the chance to sell another 2000 tickets to Chesterfield a couple of weeks ago. I know their maybe reasons to mot give them a huge amount of fans but we turned down between what 30-40 grand of income on that one game alone and it would have enhanced the atmosphere significantly. 

Rochdale were restricted to 1700 tickets and managed to sell 1689 of them by friday dinner when they went off sale .what makes you think they would of filled the rest of the stand  if available ? 

Important playoff derby clash and where are bbc manchester bloody rochdale !

I see BBC five live are celebration thier 30 th birthday today 27th of March .now we had wins at Southampton & home to Qpr in the following week  back in 1994 but since then its all been down hill did they curse us by there exsistance ?

Does every fanbase make such an effort to dislike it’s own players so much or is it just us?

The internet is a different place these days, there's a lot of hate out there.

 

The function of being able to switch clubs boards by just selecting a team on a drop down menu was so simple, it was a great feature.

was great having banter with the plastics donkey lashers and bin dippers often heated never nasty usualy with a tounge firmly in cheek happy days 

Cant forget the regular ding dongs we had with Dirty Leeds for most of the 80s .many a lairy trip to Elland road .

Currently 4th wow

Looks like our win got the manager the sack!!!.

 

We are good at doing that, from memory, the most high profile manager to be booted after we stuffed them was Kevin Keegan (CIteh) Megson (Forest)…

Petty it wasnt Ferguson 1990

Think seats were removed at both ends of that stand

Iirc they were used to replace broken seats elsewhere under corney to save money

I remember reading that in the late 70's we had agreed a fee with Man City for Brian Kidd only for him to chose to go to Everton at the last minute.

 

Remember that on the back pages of the Chron for a week

They chipped in over £10k when some Latics fans went bucket shaking at Eastlands. Tbf their fans were very supportive of us generally. From memory also had a pre-season friendly where they brought about 10,000 fans!

Iirc they refused their share of the gate receipts from the friendly to help us out
