From my point of view I won’t be buying a ticket for the Stockton game until I arrive at the ground given that the weather forecast shows heavy rain that morning.
That forecast may well change of course. |

Oldham v York is the evening kickoff on Boxing Day.
All the teams in the top seven have to play each other before the end of the season.
What Dale don’t want to see is the current top five pulling away leaving another half a dozen clubs including themselves scrapping for the last two playoff places. |

As far as I can see it’s the only postponed game in the top five divisions today. |

Another hit to the cash flow not to mention wasted food, programmes etc |

Wasn’t Steve Parkin also sacked as well around this time in 2006 after a Friday night defeat at Hartlepool? |

Three to blame as I’m sure that the fourth official was consulted as well and was actually on the pitch at one stage. The ref was also listening quite intently to his earpiece as well.
It was getting pretty hectic in the couple of minutes prior to that with some hefty challenges going in. |

It’s been so protracted that I read this week that the caretaker at Burton had reached 79th in the list of long serving managers in the top four divisions. |

Gilmour and East seem to have a bit more room than they’ve enjoyed recently which is cutting out a lot of the tippytappy stuff at the back.
Rodney looks sharp as well.
These are eminently beatable. |

Is it a consequence of signing a few players who play in roughly the same position and having to keep them (and their parent clubs) happy? |

Six out of seven of the teams currently occupying playoff slots have still to come to Spotland. |

Ramsey had two wingers in the squad in Ian Callaghan (before Liverpool converted him into a midfielder a few years later) and Southampton’s Terry Paine but neither got a real sniff of a regular place in the team.
I remember Brazil popularising 4-2-4 in the early 1960s and had always thought that Ramsey had used 4-3-3 in 1966 and amended this to 4-4-2 in time for the 1970 finals in Mexico.
Having said that I agree that I can’t decide who the third forward was alongside Hurst and Hunt. |

Southampton have sacked Russell Martin, a manager with a rigid adherence to playing The Right Way with a conspicuous lack of success. |

It was the long throw that unsettled Huddersfield in the cup.
Didn’t it land in the six yard box and the keeper punched it into his own goal? |

Back in the days when there would be a full page every Wednesday in the “Observer” devoted to the town’s two amateur football leagues. |

Just learned that he’s passed on aged 86.
One of the earliest Dale players that I remember. Went onto have a successful coaching career. |
