Although I was obviously happy to win the Hartlepool game, I did feel a bit sorry that we ruined their chances of getting the title as I think of them as a similar sort of club to us. I would not feel the same at all about possibly scuppering Port Vale's promotion push given their idiotic behaviour on here after we dared to draw at Vale Park. | ![](/images/avatars/1236.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

John Doolan's role was brilliant that day. Retaliated to a horror tackle on Glenn Murray by kung fu'ing their lad (Andy Monkhouse?) Then chased him down the tunnel after they both got sent off! Fantastic. | ![](/images/avatars/3770.gif) |

Classic Doolan. Sure he did something similar at Gigg with Dave Challinor in the tunnel the year after? | ![](/images/avatars/1813.gif) |

That moment was fantastic. The ref did a good job of sending Monkhouse off down the tunnel before taking as much time as possible to brandish Doolan's red as he could see what was going to happen. Didn't work though! JD almost snatched the red card from the ref to give it to himself before running faster than even he thought he could run to catch him up for the tunnel punch up. Also recall Doolan in one game (don't recall which one) showing the ref a card after he fell over and dropped them.

That was a truly terrible 'challenge' from that tw@t Monkhouse, I never respected a Dale player more so than when JD went in like that, I too felt a little sorry for their fans after we got the 2nd, was clear they weren't going to get the title. | ![](/images/avatars/1164.gif) |

We ran out of games - if only Hilly had had another month we'd have gatecrashed the playoffs and possibly been promoted 3 years sooner. That Hartlepool game was such a statement of intent - to totally boss and outplay the champions elect was a brilliant moment http://www.statto.com/football/teams/rochdale/2006-2007 [Post edited 1 Jan 1970 1:00]

Thrashing MKD 5-0. I think that was Le Fondre's first time in a Dale shirt and he was soon tearing the defence apart. The final league table is a reminder that had MKD won they'd have had enough points for automatic promotion. Let's hope KH gets the team in an all-out attacking mode for the rest of this season! | ![](/images/avatars/0.gif) | | ![](/images/icons/ignore-user.png) |

and yet had we not come back from 2-0 against Wrexham, we might not have even had any of the success that immediately followed, never has a game been as much of a turning point as that imo. The Boston (h) game was an amazing experience, felt the start of something special. | ![](/images/avatars/1164.gif) |
