NFR - Cheltenham next 3 days
at 06:36 13 Nov 2020

So no Dale this weekend... How about some top class National Hunt Horse racing chat?

Outside the festival The next 3 days are huge for Cheltenham racecourse and there looks to be some good racing to watch in Lockdown.

We have somewhere on this board some good tipsters so post on here any you think might have a good chance.

15.00 today - Will Easyland beat Tiger Roll in the Cross Country?

Sunday Shloer Chase shaping up to be a fantastic race... Rouge Vif - Put the Kettle on and Defi Du Seuil all in the same race and you can also throw Riders on the storm in the mix as well.

My bet for the 3 days is Edwardstone in the Greatwood Hurdle Sunday he is currently 11/2 with Betfair.

Over to those who are much better informed than me!

BBM and the 5 new lads
at 10:41 2 Nov 2020

Last season i was a touch critical of BBM.

Hands up and fair play to BBM he obviously has an eye for a player that will play how he wants to play.

Newby / Beesley / Bola / Roberts / Bazuna... That's half a team right there all regular starters this season. The five are all new into the club this season and all doing us proud.

More of the same and with Humphrys due back soon i am really enjoying the new look Dale.

Looking forward to tomorrow night v Oxford already.

Tier 2 / Tier 3
at 13:15 15 Oct 2020

Matt Hancock hitting a new level of incompetence today in the commons.

Press leaks prior to confirmation with local authority.... then backtracking.

Dithering over a statement on Manchester and Lancashire regarding if and when we will move to tier 3.

No doubt the whole thing is complicated beyond belief BUT there should be much clearer / decisive communication and direction from the government.

Staff on minimum wage will be getting 2/3 or just over £5 an hour on this latest job support scheme that's replacing furlough. Minimum wage is just that the minimum required to survive.

Liverpool the ONLY city on tier 3. Honestly?

Ignoring the "Science" when the science advised a NATIONAL circuit break 3 weeks ago.

My two penneth is that this is set for the long term. I read an article saying the average life expectancy is 81 and the average Covid death age is 82. It is a very very tough decision to make i do understand that but everyone knows this and the day could arrive where shielding becomes self governing and everyone makes there own choices. Maybe new Covid Laws need to be applied to allow the nation to do that and the obvious rule breakers can be hit with more severe penalty.

This is one mighty mess and the problem is that the master plan is falling well short its time for a rethink and quickly.

Spurs / Villa / West Ham
at 14:15 5 Oct 2020

Spurs / Villa and West Ham score 16 goals between them.

I know United look a spent force but credit to Villa and West Ham because Liverpool and Leicester who were at home and flying.

It’s great that the premier league looks like its opening up again it’s much better when 4 or 5 clubs are changing places at the top of the table.

What a crazy season we are in for if yesterday is anything to go by.

Lancashire - Finals Day 20/20
at 13:53 3 Oct 2020

Well this is a wash out!

This finals day looks like it will be on the reserve Sunday ( tomorrow ).

5 overs constitutes an innings. It will probably have to be a reduced overs format.

Shamima Begum the ISIS Bride New High Court Ruling
at 12:47 16 Jul 2020

Looks like the ISIS Bride will be given a reprieve.

Latest ruling today is that she should be given a chance to bring the appeal in person to the UK.

It should be so easy... Look we know your young but this is serious. We cant stop you going and if its what you want to do be our guest! BUT you will be giving up your British citizenship and you will NEVER set foot in this country ever again whatever your circumstances.

We are so multi cultural and that is to be applauded and welcome as we have plenty of non white British people & immigrant asylum seekers who do wonderful things for this counrty. Any person though travelling to an area that is ISIS controlled needs to know there will be grave consequence for these actions.

Boris update - Sunday 10th May at 7pm
at 14:21 11 May 2020

How well do you think Boris came across on Sunday night?.

Bit bizarre that instead of making things crystal clear and asking for another push together the whole charade was shrouded in ambiguity.

5/10 from me.

3 home games on the spin - Season defined in March.
at 10:04 8 Mar 2020

Dale now have a 10 day break before we have 3 home games in 8 days.

Tranmere

Burton

Wimbledon

The next 3 games look season defining as our run in especially the last 2 games looks tricky.

The supporters can make a difference especially the two Tuesday night 6 pointers.

Should the club look at doing a 3 x game in 8 day ticket initiative that’s head turning priced or would it make no difference?

5 points or more would be useful in these 8 days I would like the club to step up again and at least try to make some noise in the town to maximise crowd attendance in what normally are difficult Tuesday nights!

League wins away v the big boys?
at 08:37 11 Feb 2020

Southampton 0-2 Dale

Charlton 0-1 Dale

Can this seasons double v Bolton count as big?

Is that it?

I have been to Sheffield United and Wednesday for league games and never seen us win.

Other big clubs have dropped to our level for a season or two but away wins seem to be like hens teeth.

Hope we carry on the improvement of late and we can add another away win to the list come 21.35.

Tomorrow v Slump

What thread did you enjoy the most?

Tomorrow still has the final chapter / obituary to be written I know but both delivered to us by our bucket shaking friends.

Slump was tremendous.... the run we went on after the post was incredible and some of the best football I have seen at Dale.

I do hope Rob is ok and enjoying other things on a Saturday!.

Fascinating stuff in Davos this week.

Capitalism v School girl eco warrior.

To be honest she has a point. All these trillions of dollars will be no use with no planet.

Global Population rising and fossil fuels running out. Massive push in the media now ref sustainability etc I just wonder if it’s too little to late. Not for our generation but any children born now there grandchildren will see a very different adult life. I am all for cutting back on meat eating and recycling and will go hybrid or electric with my next car.

25 Points
at 11:22 2 Jan 2020

Bolton and bury’s incompetences make league one survival points total a tricky one to guess.

Dale have 25 points how many more do you think we need to survive.

I would go for another 22 (47) with only 3 teams relegated and Bolton / Southend looking cut adrift.

Macclesfields Punishment for refusing to play
at 11:35 9 Dec 2019

So another club has decided not to play a game.

The EFL's weak handling of Bolton making there own rules up sets a precedent so it has to be a suspended 6 points?.

Football gets lost in all the politics and unless the EFL start clamping down on these clubs this will not be the last.

Its the Doncaster's and the Crewe's that I feel sorry for putting there own plans and schedules out of kilter.

Callum Camps

I have always said Callum Camps was full of talent but never consistently delivered!.

Well Callum has certainly started this season on fire and looks to have found the missing piece of the jigsaw.

Superb start to the season and now looks like the finished article we all hoped he would be.

More of the same every week please because when he is on song he is a joy to watch.
