Pair of Tossers 00:19 - Mar 31 with 6000 views | dearnley_pete | What do we have to do to get some recognition on The Football League Show We know "claridge" doesnt like us I think he has twisted Bhasin the same way, if we were to win every game 4 or 5-0 we wouldnt get proper air time. Admitted York are playing well and we have got a hard match ahead of us on Saturday but when it goes to league two the team at the top usually leads the show , but oh no not little old Rochdale, it as though we are just making up the numbers. We have managed without these TOSSERS up to now, so when they DO want to come knocking, WHEN we win the league, we should tell them to piss off. We have managed all season without them so we will win it on our own. This is my 56th season and I havent been this excited in all the years I've been following the Dale, even when we were 15 points ahead the last time, this is the year to go up as CHAMPIONS | | | | |

Pair of Tossers on 07:14 - Mar 31 with 4446 views | macro | Radio five as well mentioned Pompey and scunny in the round up. Not dale though | | | |
Pair of Tossers on 07:22 - Mar 31 with 4436 views | Mass_Debater | Ridiculous OP. Why the paranoia? We lead the League 2 section last week and Claridge, Leroy and manish have given us plenty of positive coverage down the years, as well as all the other league clubs. | | | |
Pair of Tossers on 08:14 - Mar 31 with 4384 views | dingdangblue | Must admit the highlights of the "game of the day" in our division weren't much last Sat - guess there wasn't that many! I imagine they are waiting now till the game when we 'do it' before giving us any major coverage. | |

Completely agree. When ITV had the same programme with a bit of Gabriel Clarke audio over the top it was much better. Just a shame they insisted on showing it at about 4am. I am sick to death of hearing about sodding Portsmouth. He even came out with "I mean that is a top 6 squad at Portsmouth". No it's not, that's why they are fighting relegation after 40 of the 46 games. | | | |

Very true about Portsmouth - all these "experts" were predicting they would walk this division, them being billy big balls and all that. How wrong they were. As you mentioned, Claridge's comment about "a top 6 squad" was ridiculous. Granted they stuffed us at Fratton Park but were utterly inept up here last week - they looked bottom two not top six, and (allegedly) Claridge was there to see it. | | | |

Talking of which, I did a pre-season prediction thing for a website and I forecast Chesterfield, Portsmouth and Bristol Rovers to be the top three! That, of course, is why I very, very rarely have football bets!! | |

Typical BBC North West coverage - "I'm sorry we were about to bring you live coverage of Rochdale's wrapping up of the League Two title, the first in their history, but we've got no time as we need to talk about Manchester City for another four hours, who are not playing until tomorrow. Now, who is our first boring, ill-informed caller to talk to the boring, ill-informed Fred Eyre" | | | |

Bolton and Wigan have been part of Greater manchester since 1974. For Radio Lancashire, you have Burnley, Accrington, Blackburn Rovers, Preston North End, Blackpool and a few non-league clubs. | |

Possibly the alleged media blackout has meant we're not willing to cooperate in the production of a piece? | | | |
Pair of Tossers on 13:46 - Mar 31 with 3774 views | deeplishblue | For a bit of balance, I quite like the FLS and don't mind the presenters. I think that Dale get their fair share of coverage. You can't expect them to focus on us every week. Also I find that GMR are quite complimentary about our club, esp Jimmy Wagg. Isn't there one of our supporters on tonight at 18:00 ? | |

Pair of Tossers on 13:55 - Mar 31 with 3757 views | macro | I think it's courtesy to mention the leaders, it happens in all the other divisions. league two though is the oddity whoever is top the coverage on the whole is the same - poor. A right media love in for Pompey, will Luton get the same treatment I wonder | | | |

They trailed the show a couple of days ago on GMR and cited Martin as the Dales number one fan . I think even he would be a bit embarrassed at being described as that !!

Pair of Tossers on 18:54 - Mar 31 with 3290 views | ColDale | the only bit that surprised me was that having been at the Dale v Pompey game on Tuesday (and I'm guessing from his seats, he was somebody's guest rather than as a paying punter), he made no reference to it.. You'd have assumed that he'd have used this game to show an insight into teams at the top and the bottom, but looks like he was just there on a freebie. | | | |
