[Archived] Tonights Game

Williamsonaldinho!

[West Yorks Rover]

A screamer from Williamson, who says we need to strengthen in centre mid? Hahaha LEEEEE @OneRovers: 19mins: Williamson robbed a Rochdale player of the ball in his own half, advanced towards the edge of the box and powered home a fine shot.

He's found his level.

[West Yorks Rover]

1-1

Sounds a fairly even game, Rochdale have had a few chances and hit the post, O'Sullivan had one cleared off the line.

[Tim Southampton Rover]

We found our level...

Bowyer Out.

In the chippie.

Seriously when I went to watch Chesterfield at Rochdale the whole of the Rochdale reserve team were in the queue (in tracksuits) with the Chesterfield fans buying, fish, chips, pies and battered sausage.

I wonder if our new frenchies have heard of battered sausage or mushy peas?

Never mind that, what's a rag pie??

[Mike Graham]

Rag pudding (also known as Rag pie) is a savoury dish consisting of minced meat and onions wrapped in a suet pastry, which is then cooked in a cheesecloth.[1][2][3] The dish was invented during the 19th century in Oldham, a former mill town in Lancashire,[1] previously at the centre of England's cotton industry.[3] Rag pudding pre-dates ceramic basins and plastic boiling bags in cookery, and so the cotton or muslin rag cloths common in Oldham were used in the dish's preparation.[2] Rag pudding is similar in composition and preparation to steak and kidney pudding,[2] and may be purchased from traditional local butcher's shops in Greater Manchester.[1]

Conceded our first preseason goal then? No improvement in defence..?

[K-Hod]

Sounds excellent! Hopefully they are sold in Oldham on Saturday!

Bowyer Out ;-)

Thank you Mrs Beaton.

[Mike Graham]

That's fine Mr Gascoigne

[JayPeeBee40]

I would say that's our first choice back 4. Interesting that raya is the keeper. Will he be our no1 this coming season..?

[bluebruce]

I look forward to us employing a deadly 4-6-0 formation this season.

[West Yorks Rover]

O'Sullivan hits the post from 25 yards, Willy has just tried another 20 yarder, goalie saves.

Told you he likes this level.

HT 1-1

Is Hanley still captain..?

He has scored that kind of goal for previous clubs

[bluebruce]

Is Hanley still captain..?

Ah crap. Hanley still plays for us. I guess the second half of last season was just a pleasant dream in that regard.

He might be much improved this season

or he might not

[Mike Graham]

Has he lost his beer belly?

[JayPeeBee40]

Hanley was at one time prem quality, he CAN get back to that. Strachen wouldn't have as a first choice pick for Scotland if he were a dummy..

Along with Lowe, why is it fans think players that are signed better than home grown players..?

[Butty]

Nice too see young Willem Tomlinson get a run out in centre midfield, being from Burnley but supporting Rovers, a sin I know. (my dads a rovers fan) I know quite a bit about him, looks a really good prospect. Was the main reason why his school won the English schools cup a year or two back, goal scoring centre mid. One to watch in a couple years.

[bluebruce]

He might be much improved this season I'll give you odds of 10-1

or he might not Not taking any bets.

I exaggerate a bit for fun. But I expect more or less the same. A handful of fairly commanding performances, a handful of atrocious ones, and a smorgasboard of rank average with poor positioning blended in with a hefty dose of oh-my-good-god-why-is-he-captain.

That's not a sin. Being from Blackburn and supporting Burnley is a sin. Being from Burnley and supporting us just means your hearts are true. However many you've inherited.
