But, yet again, mid-game pitch invasions by their "fans". It's happened so many times this season in breach of NL regulations. Why can Oldham get away with it? Where is the punishment?
That said, weren't York projecting themselves as the next Wrexham? Oops.
Curious that football pundit Carragher on Sky who spat in a child's face is still allowed to continue in the role. Different standards by different broadcasters?
The question always asked when a manager's job is in the balance. There will be a multitude of applicants should the manager's job become available. The directors will make a decision accordingly. Happens all the time in football.
The Ogden Trust has done a magnificent job keeping RAFC afloat and forward looking. They deserve our support for that. Season ticket already purchased. At key moments in games, can this manager be relied upon to bring the success their commitment deserves? No.
If you repeated the same mistakes time and time again, showed no capability to rectify them, causing a loss of confidence in your business and its customers, should you be kept on in your job?
Indeed. Never mentions "clout" when we win. Southend have had horrendous ownership issues for years.
The total lack of personal responsibility, and finding excuses for and diversions from last night's debacle (and others) in this is blatant. We know what we saw.
Tonight is another "big" game, thrown away by a manager who appears incapable of learning from mistakes and whose game management last night was gormless at best. AGAIN. With "Sit back Jim", we handed Southend an opportunity that their players and management team took on with relish. Three goals in half an hour is the evidence. Another bigger than average crowd that fully got behind Dale left disappointed. AGAIN!
Jim has took us so far, well done, but his inability to improve, learn and change with experience is very concerning. The club will not progress without better tactical acumen from its manager. Can't see it coming.
Jim had earned the chance to contest the FA Trophy semi-final and the play-off campaign despite serious misgivings in his management methods. He's messed up both opportunities. At home. Surely this will have been noted in the boardroom?
Well done Kevin Maher and Southend. You deserved that win, gift wrapped as it was after 65 minutes. The better manager won. All the best at FGR and maybe Wembley.
Indeed. The attendance for the next home game after the Spennymoor debacle was awful. We beat Eastleigh 4-0 that day and played well. But so p!$$p00r was the display in the FA trophy in front of a good crowd, encouraged to attend with positive advertising, even season ticket holders were staying away for Eastleigh, never mind occasional fans. That's "The Spennymoor Effect", and the finger points at the manager.
Recent games here on live broadcast TV, or those of a high profile have seen the team turn to water over the non-league seasons. The manager MUST address this failing before Thursday.
Well researched link. Given that we've only had one red card all season, you feel the refs will be keen to give us one or more in the play offs. Balance and all that.
It's a repeat from a couple of years back when Town Hall Square was being renovated, but nonetheless, a fine example of getting children involved in local archaeology.
Agree with that. Dale at their best can beat most in this league. If Southend decide to put 9 or 10 men behind the ball, history dictates we won't score and will probably lose unless Jim has a paradigm shift in approach to such a situation as an alternative to 122 ineffectual passes around the opposition penalty area until we lose possession. He'll also have to be more savvy and imaginative in-game than Maher, Cotterill and Hinshelwood which seems unlikely. Prove me wrong Jim. Please!
Around that era, I was in Dale Bar after a Saturday game, when an acquaintance who worked for a drinks supplier not a million miles from Spotland, was seen bringing in barrels of beer/ lager. He stopped to say "hello". This is when I believe we were under contract with J W Lees to sell their products, not the supplier my acquaintance worked for. Absolutely nothing dodgy going on of course..........not.
Anyway, that's history. Ratcliffes / Dale Bar are brilliantly run and properly accounted for in 2025, unlike the bad old days of the bearded wonder.
Was behind the goal in The Sandy when that went in - incredible to watch and the celebrations were mint. A couple of Leeds fans had been smuggled in to The Sandy for that game, but they left very gracefully and respectfully when the GOAT scored, knowing they had been well beaten by a better side.
