[Archived] THE BATTLE FOR PROMOTION....WON.

[tugayislegend]

Happy Easter! Enjoy the weekend now!

Ouch. I guess your luck has to run out at some point. Scoring late goals is a good trait to have but you don't want to have to rely on doing it all of the time.

You feel that might be a turning point. A pretty devastating result for Shrewsbury as injuries and suspensions continue to pile up. If we don't get promoted from this position we really won't deserve it.

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssss!!!!!!

[Mike E]

Have it!

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Well done Rochdale! 

[skous18]

Wtf what goes around comes around i guess

[Bbrovers2288]

First time I’m confident of going up. Shrews were due that to be fair

Gate 4,000+.

Expecting we will have a few first hand reports on here sometime soon...

3-1

great result just got a "get out of jail free card" as some say "7 wins to save our club"

[FGS5635]

Time to go crazy and open an easter egg early to celebrate

[rigger]

All we have to do is win the next seven and we are up

[GreenRover]

Well done Rochdale. Up they stay up now. Felt that was going to be a tough game for Shrewsbury as Rochdale's form was fairly good. Delighted. Full steam ahead to Monday and bag another 3 points. ?⚪️⚽️

[Mike E]

Affords us one loss in our remaining games, but let's keep winning!

I was frantically watching Rochdale’s Twitter feed. Injury time went like this:

 

WOODWORK! Nolan's rasping shot clips the bar! #RAFC

PENALTY TO SHREWSBURY #RAFC

Huge protests by the Dale players following that penalty decision #RAFC

NO PENALTY! THE PENALTY HAS BEEN OVER-RULED! #RAFC

GOAL! IT'S 3-1! #RAFC

FT | ROCHDALE 3-1 SHREWSBURY TOWN #RAFC

 

Got to be less stressful hobbies than this!

What a good do. My mate text me 2-1 Rochdale, penalty to Shrewsbury, 3-1 Rochdale. So Christ knows what happened there.

Rochdale have always been my most favourite team after Rovers.

Suddenly, a bit of breathing space. It's still going to be tough though. Games against play-off chasing Posh and Charlton look especially difficult

What an ending. Ref awards a pen to Shrews, consults his linesman and gives a corner instead. Our favourite goalie comes up and Rochdale break away to score a third.

Absolutely brilliant. I was so confused but what a massive result.

Football on 5 is on at 10:30 tonight. Goal rush (League 1/2) at 11:30.

That's a ferkin cracker of a result. Basil will chuffed. And Keith Hill. Rovers smashing the Shrews again!

For once Shrews didn't get the rub of the green.

A point ahead and a game in hand. An Easter Rovers Resurrection...

Up the Dale ...Down the ale ...lets get pi55ed!... COYB!

Can I say that could be a turning point?

Yes, yes you can.  I was going to post the same

The beauty of that result now is that every win we get will feel like a massive step closer.

We just need to make sure we get the next one on Monday as Shrewsbury will feel they have absolutely no room to slip up now and potentially without a couple of their big players 

[HowieFive0]

Suspensions and injuries look like they are hitting shrewsbury hard. Look like they may finally be running out of steam ...but we ve still to do the business!
