Thread | This Forum vs Facebook
at 13:17 19 Apr 2023
It has been on my mind for good while now that in my opinion, there are many distinct differences between this forum and the Facebook page of Rochdale AFC Appreciation.
Do the majority on here look at both as I do?
I don't post or comment a lot on here but avidly read the posts and subsequent comments as I learn a lot about various issues going on at the club ( that I may have missed) and see different points of views on games / the footballing side.
The majority of the time, people's honest and often well educated opinions on here are respected, challenged, responded to, mistakes corrected, lots of witty replies (Judd does make me laugh), good banter but mainly the respect is there.
Again, IMO, the Facebook group is very much an opposite and seems to be lots of petty arguments, opinions given that are replied to as 'just wrong' and the level of intellect seems somewhat lacking.
I have always believed that people's opinions are personal and although a reply does not need to agree, one should never say it is incorrect as it is just an opinion. They should simply be respected and to use an age old phrase, 'agree to disagree'.
I have posted once on the Facebook group and got told I was wrong, shut up, sworn at and ridiculed so I only ever view it now, but it does sometimes make for frightening reading when I see what and how some people post.
It is called Rochdale AFC Appreciation but there doesn't seem to be any appreciation at all of anything. When we win the players and managers are great, when we lose it is the total opposite. Same with the current chairman who was hailed as a hero for stepping in to save the club from MH and now is the villain.
Whereas on this forum, everyone is well aware of the ups and downs of our fortune, but take a far more pragmatic viewpoint on affairs based on respect.
Just my opinion!!!! |

He can't have been on too much of a wage at Southend all those times he kept going back.
Also didn't he have them in Non League at one point?
Barrow surely can't pay over the odds either.
I was looking at the BBC article to see if Josh Lillis was going to be given a go. |

I just saw the article on BBC Sport and remembered that I had seen him.
Not my intention to suggest Dale should have looked at him. |

Phil Brown has been appointed at Barrow.
I did see him at Dale at the Barrow match on the 12th in the 1907 bar and in the main stand so he was obviously doing some chatting to the Barrow bigwigs at our place. |

Please can someone remind who that bloke was who took the manager's job after Ryan Lowe left for Plymouth. Think he left Truro to take over but it seemed to me at the time that it was like a new captain taking over control of the titanic halfway across the Atlantic! Wonder what happened to him? |

Thread | Baldy Mourinho
at 11:58 9 Mar 2020
Following Jose Mourinho’s recent public criticism of Tanguy Ndombele at Spurs, I started to think about other reasons why the chants came out for KH calling him Baldy Mourinho.
Yes he has been the most successful Rochdale Manager there has been so managerial success is a likeness to Mourinho but there are many other traits that they have in common.
Arrogance
Great success then great lows with sackings that follow
Public criticism of players
Public criticism of fans
Never their fault
Lone wolf scenario
Do you think KH took the comparisons too literally?! |
