Good to see him back .....  and nice to see that he got a good reception.
Did he manage to touch the ball at all?

I think he stayed on the half way line as much as he possibly could, touched the ball once, and made two fouls. |  | | |

You could see as soon as he stepped on the pitch he didn't want to be there, never heard such a hostile reception for an ex Daley. |  |

He was your mate MD you loved him once upon a time!!!
Do you now see what we all saw the lasiest excuse of a footballer ever?
Has a talent ever been so wasted with a CBA attitude on the pitch?
Amazed he has picked up a league 1 club he must have some agent!! |  | | |

Never known any regular ex Dale player to get a reception like that before when returning to Spotland.
Although I have to admit I wholeheartedly joined in the booing and chanting and found it very amusing, especially the "You're not very good" chant in stoppage time at the end of the game just after his petulant late tackle on Tanser.
He had the skills and ability to be a very good player but unfortunately his attitude and application and the lack of both will always be what he is remembered for.
His career will likely just fade away to nothing (half way their already.....couldn't make Bury's team) and if he is even remembered at all it will always be for wasting the talents he had. |  |

Don't think it was particularly hostile, just that 99% of the receptions to former players is either warm or indifferent. It wasn't on a par with what some of our players have received elsewhere.
It was evident with Grimes right from the off. The petulant side showing in two preseason friendlies, and initial efforts were seen as being that before Autumn. His talent has never been in question. But its just that no one ever gets to see it. It said it all when signing for Walsall that he referred back to his spell at Dale as being a good spell in his career.
As said, his agent is probably the only other person who could get money for Donnelly. | | | |

I'm not sure how you come to that conclusion, OD. |  |

Dont believe everything you read Diddums, it was far from hostile, most fans near me were willing him on to break into a jog and/or touch the ball. |  |
