  1. No, that was just a bit of fun. But to use a modern, heavily armed force (and let's not forget the phosphorous bombs) against what is essentially a massive refugee camp is unforgivable. Unless you're Nick Griffin, or the Israeli government. Hell, even the Americans were getting embarrased.
  2. Unless I'm very much mistaken, Griffin claimed last night that his was the only party to support Israel's right to defend itself by using it's Western-supplied army against kids throwing stones.
  3. So you've purchased some sort of special goat douche then? That's dedication folks!
  4. I was waiting to hear it repeated, which it wasn't (by either party) before mentioning it. As for reporting it to the stewards, I can't think of a better way to waste my time! Unfortunately today will reinforce some thoughts I already had about who to bring to matches in future. It wasn't the worst I've heard at BP by a long way. But anyone abusing Trotman shows their ignorance as well as their prejudice.
  5. As above. Heard it from the row behind today (directed at Neal Trotman!) and from a couple of rows in front as well. Muppets. Is it any wonder why BP isn't frequented by a more representative cross-section of the people of Oldham?
  6. Would Ariel Sharon be a worthier recipient?
  7. Brooke has looked well out of his depth (sadly) when he's been brought on. He took the goal at Walsall excellently, not straightforward either. But this season he looks like he can't get rid of the ball quickly enough. Pav looked to be feeling his injury by the end of the game yesterday. I wouldn't mind seeing O'Grady being given a chance if necessary, but I suspect he'll go to the Dale for an undisclosed fee in January.
  8. But that's a classic! Used to love that show.
  9. Get it now and again, but only on the laptops strangely. All running Avast. It seems to have a problem with a GIF on the main header!
  10. Why assume they're talking about Brill? Fleming and Brill were at the club together...
  11. Will anyone come up with a song about Barnes and McAteer? Kind of hard to find anything appropriate to rhyme...
  12. Surely that's breaking and entering? Or is there no 'proof'?
  13. And yet in this case is completely true. The daughter of one of Mrs Anchor's colleagues was on the show. The fee? £50 plus drinks.
  14. Didn't see the programme myself, but I'm reliably informed that the 'local' girls featured hail from the better parts of Rochdale, and wouldn't go out in Oldham if (well, UNLESS actually) you paid them. All staged by the producers.
  15. He must have had a bet to see how often he could say 'Exciting times' during the interview. Despite all his off-field flaws, I wish him well and hope he sorts himself out.
  16. Whilst I wouldn't recommend or condone that (it will only help her to prove her point) her knowledge of football crowds clearly dates back to the 1970s. There will be lots of them to contend with too...
  17. Leeslover doesn't get to all the games anymore, so the problem should be minimised. This is more worrying... OAFC vs. NIMBYs Round 2?
  18. It still does, at least until 7ish. I wasn't thinking of myself as much as those who come from further afield, and who rely on public transport. Getting to the new ground should be easy enough. I fear that getting away may be another matter though. At BP, the crowd disperses in all directions. The same won't be as true at Failsworth. Buses and trams will be overloaded, and traffic will cause more problems than at present. I suppose it's an excuse to stop for a drink or 3 before leaving.
  19. If everyone else who currently goes lived very close to BP, your argument would make some sense. As it is it's just stupid.
  20. According to tomorrow's Rochdale Observer, SC suggested we ground-share at Spotland until a new stadium (for both teams) could be built! Rochdale's chairman is apparently open to discussions about such a move, although no detailed negotiations have taken place.
  21. I hope we redevelop BP over the next few years. I don't see what interest Rochdale would have in a ground share. They've already got a relatively modern stadium, with much better facilities than the current BP.
