    Yes there was. Newton Hall on a Saturday night and the Rowing Club on a Sunday. I’d joined the army middle of 1984 so never really got down to the RC.

    Very true mate and I also don't think the current regime would actually be able to convince the right person to come.
    If we have the right people owning the club with the ambition to take the club forward there will be some decent names fighting for the job.
    Whereas with SD in change no half decent manager would consider it

    Serious question, just wondering ...

    ... would you be allowed to call it Mecca these days?

    I've lost track of what terms are acceptable tbh.

    Agree with all of that marra...

    I'm not one for slagging off managers / players but its becoming embarrassing. Their midfield 3 never stopped moving and chasing, our 2 stooges were invisible, no wonder Baily Wright didnt give them the ball but the 40yard diagonal pass often went into touch....

    Why weren't Diamond and Neil not even in the squad and why is Embleton not ready yet again...

    We were outplayed for large portions of the game last night by a set of youngsters , while our promising kids were left at home....

    Let's hope the new Owners have someone lined up to sort this **** show out....

    Why is he so scared to go 433 or 442 and bloody attack teams from all angles instead of the same old get it out wide and ping a ball into the box to a striker who cant jump or take a gamble and get in front of his market...I was gutted it was bloody Wyke who scored last night, we will never change as long as Wyke is our main target man....

    Yeah the worst team I’ve ever seen
    I was saying to the lads last night watching the game
    Out of our squad apart from McGuire and Hume
    You could pick any player from our squad it would make little difference
    There all of the same quality
    OR LACK OF QUALITY
    We have to do better

    Thanks for that, I'll make a note of leaving the house earlier in that case, I've had enough of having my weekends ruined and so has my Mrs....

    I don't even know what to call people with physical, or mental disabilities any more tbh.

    The terms I grew up with are now taboo.

    In the case of skin colour it makes me wonder how people give descriptions of someone to the police.

    I'm not sure what you're allowed to say any more and you wouldn't want to appear racist ...

    ... especially if the officer, taking your statement, had a different 'complexion' to you.

    Unfortunately our team of leauge one players can't cope at times with the oppositions team of leauge one players, problem is, opposition raises their game to play us because were the big fish. To add to that, in all honesty, that squad we have know they are there because we're in the 3rd division and if we were to go up, 1 or 2 would make the bench in the championship, the rest would be looking for clubs. I'll back any player that puts on the red and white, but being in this league suits quite alot of them. imo like.

    McGeady shows why you have to play it crafty with modern players.

    He's making so little effort to play football, just content to take the money ...

    ... doesn't even have to kiss the badge these days.

    That may have been true two years ago, but the Rochdale manager clearly stated in his programme notes last night that with this being our 3rd season in this division we are where we deserve to be, so his lads should go out without any fear and beat Sunderland. Unfortunately we aren't good enough to beat teams anymore that don't shut up shop and leave themselves open.

    Person of colour seem to be the acceptable buzzword at the minute. However, calling someone couloured is right out of the window ATM.
