Phew! "What might have been" cf "What is"!! Great game the Trust and the individuals we have to thank. The complaints re lack of info on the OS, although valid, fade into insignificance. |

It's a terribe website. It's a guessing game trying to get to the match after you have paid and subscribed. It's hit or miss getting the right page. Writing to them is a waste of time too. Ifollow was bad enough! |

Same here. I registered and subscribed for the match this afternoon, then wrote to them to ask how to get the game on. They simply referred me to the site, but no help whatesoever. I kept trying to get coverage from about 7.15 and each time emailed them to ask for help. Nothing forthcoming. Eventually at about 8.05, managed to get on, but no idea how I did it it - just hit or miss!! |

All the best to you and your club. When I was a child, I lived in Heywood. My dad used to take me to Gigg Lane on Ribchester's coach. I remember the music for "Sports Report" coming on the radio when we got on the coach after the game. This was from the 1940's onwards I have always had an allegiance to the Shakers. I recall Dave Russell as manager, Quigley, Pearson, the Griffiths brothers Stuart Imlach (the father of the cyclist reporter) , Ray Pointer, John McGrath, Colin Bell, Alec Lindsay. I will probably remember many others tomorrow!!!
After I "fell out" with football, I came to live in Rochdale and, through my brother, developed an interest in the Dale. I was a season ticket holder for many years - until the last few years, when it became a burden watching them. Also, two contributors to the fans' board were unjustifiably very unkind to me a couple of years ago. Now I just come to the occasional game.
Perhaps the Shakers and the Dale will one day play each other in a league game, but I fear it will be too late for me! I intend to go to Gigg occasionally for old times' sake. Good luck to you and your club. |

The way that Reedy reported it, it didn't seem to be from a corner, - " Clarke didn’t look to be offside and Downing certainly wasn’t because I think he put received the ball direct from a corner." - implying that Downing didn't take the corner. This says to me that it wasn't direct from a corner.
As I said, unfortunately I didn't see it. I can only go on what was said on here. I'll watch Quest later and perhaps get a better view. :) |

Re -
"The rules are, if the ball is played backwards you can’t be offside, no matter where you are on the pitch".
I'm sorry, but I beg to differ. There is no mention in the laws of the ball being played backwards, sideways or forwards.
I didn't see the game due to having covid and having problems getting in to iFollow, so I didn't see the incident. I am simply disputing your premise.
I am assuming that he was in an offside position when the pass was made.
The following is a copy of the relevant part of the law.
2. Offside offence
A player in an offside position at the moment the ball is played or touched*
by a team-mate is only penalised on becoming involved in active play by:
- interfering with play by playing or touching a ball passed or touched by
a team-mate or .....
I'm guessing that, since he put the ball in the net, he did touch the ball.
This part of the laws was the same as it was when I was refereeing 45 years ago :) |

Good advice, but something rung a bell with "straightaway", which prompted me to find the following from https://www.nidirect.gov.uk/articles/phone-scams-and-cold-calls -
"You should wait for 20 minutes before you call your bank on a trusted phone number to check it out. This is because scammers are able to keep phone lines open. Whilst you think you are making a new phone call, the line is still open to the scammer who pretends to be a different person from your bank or the police. If possible, use a different phone or call somebody else in the meantime." |

This is weird. It is like living in a parallel universe.
I was watching on ifollow and it didn't take a genius to work out that there was another game taking place on a nearby pitch. In fact, one would have to be pretty slow on the uptake not to realise that this was the case.
Quite apart from the fact that you have put 2 and 2 together and got 156, what I can't understand is why someone would carry out an investigation into a total stranger who has simply taken the trouble to provide an answer to the opening post. Totally weird.
By the way, I'm guessing that fans were not allowed at the game.
I shall now return you to the ignored list, together with your sidekick.. It annoyed me having to temporarily remove you from it in order to respond to your stupidity. |

Five questions -
What made you think I had been to the Charlton game?
What would that have to do with my answer to the opening post?
Why would it have made me a cockney?
Or a mockney?
If I were a cockney, so what? |
