No signings during the transfer window i can confirm.

Corrected. Now the statement is more accurate.

The league 2 promotion party starts today.

 

[oucho]

I would go with Burge, DKE, Willis, Turnbull, Stokes, Bigi, Stevenson, G Thomas, Jones, Ruben, Beavon.

Subs: RCC, Haynes, Harries, Reid, K Thomas, 2 academy kids

I don't get the play the kids that are here next year every season were dead or safe. Yes it's nice to give them a run out but we've done it year after year and it offers nothing going into the next season. Ponticelli is doing it at u18's and is yet to replicate that in the U23's when he's played so he's still learning the step up, before the step up to senior football.
We need league two men next season and develop the kids further in the u23's next year, to many we've rushed and cast them aside when they don't make the transition.

 

[stevefloyd]

It's not like they are on Ryanair crammed in with no space or anything and I doubt their legs are falling off.

Also doubt they will be standing up at home all day

 

[stevefloyd]

They may do, but they could come of their own accord? We only have a small coach remember. It's not a bus you go on to Ibiza remember

How do you know they have a Honda?

 

[James Smith]

Given the news from Friday anything we can do to get off the bottom will be welcome. Yes we're relegated but we can avoid the stigma of being bottom at the end of the season.

 

[bawtryneal]

What I don't get is even if injured, why wouldn't they go and watch?

They travelled by car, at least Beavon and Clarke did. Probably stopping up north afterwards.

I can see Clarke being here next season

 

[sw88]

Referee is huge! And look old! Good job we have no one with pace he will have to keep up with

 

[bawtryneal]

3-1 win I'm going, kwame x2 and bigi

Have you woken up today. No spelling mistakes so far.

 

[sw88]

Stevenson joining Bigi in a little pre match prayer in the centre circle

 

[hill83]

An absolutely massive well done to anyone who is going to this today. You are all mental.

 

[bawtryneal]

How do you know they have a Honda?

Very good. To subtle for the majority.

 

[Liquid Gold]

I'm not at the game but am goin to do a bit of commentary to pass the time

 

[sw88]

City free kick sent in long by Thomas but too long for Stokes to keep in play and create anything

Strong start by city as Bigi finds Reid on the left, decent ball in the middle but Adebola couldn't quite get the touch

Just put "Bigi shoots wide", then post it every other 10 mins until Rochdale score

'Kyel Reid puts a cross in, but it goes out for a throw in on the opposite side of the pitch.'

That might have been a guess, but it was probably true!

 

[sw88]

Out of the three keepers Rochdale had warming up, the one that appears to be their number one was the one I'd have said was the goal keeping coach!

 

[torchomatic]

And write "stops and checks" every now and then.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Near disaster there. Turnbull walks off the pitch to stroke a kitten leaving Dale 1-1 with Burge. Luckily the 'keeper's hypnosis training comes in handy and the striker wets his pants.

 

[Ranjit Bhurpa]

Referee is huge! And look old! Good job we have no one with pace he will have to keep up with

Nigel Millar, Mowbray's good friend :banghead:. Might have a bet on the red card coming out today.

 

[sw88]

Counter attack for Rochdale, Rawson marks his man with back to goal but he gets megged with a back heel, Willis covers well to clear for a corner

Nuts

And write "stops and checks" every now and then.

'And it's scrambled away...'

Translation:

'I have no fucking way of interpreting if that was in any way dangerous or not.'

That's another Eakin staple!

 

[sw88]

Willis caught out of position trying to keep the ball In play, Rawson covers for him at RB leaving the CB slot vacant, dangerous cross and the Rochdale man opts to try and get a boot on it unmarked rather than going with his head, poor chance out wide

 

[Liquid Gold]

City down to 10 men temporarily as Bigi starts building a church

Hold on. You're making this up, aren't you? FFS.

 

[robbieray]

Very good. To subtle for the majority.

I got it ! Was it something to do with Ibiza , if so how did they know they had a Seat

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

1-0 Rochdale as Burge slides a shit in off his own post, then skids to the ground in despair.

 

[robbieray]

How do you know they have a Honda?

Or a Seat

 

[sw88]

Another chance headed wide for Rochdale

They look dodgy at the back but know how to get the ball into the opposition box

Just they can't convert

Sounds familiar!

 

[Liquid Gold]

The ghost of Dion Dublin's dog goes on a great run down the right but pops the ball at the crucial moment. End to end stuff.
