I would say off photo 1,its impossible to say if he he got to the ball then?On the basis of picture 1 it does look like it was outside AND that Toto got the ball .............. But three stills aren't conclusive, I suppose
Rochdale Thread
- Thread starter heth
- Start date
Hence the qualification to my last post - very hard to tell, because you're forced to make assumptions and the eye can be tricked very easily. I get the impression you thought it was a penalty Cashy?
Well yeh know were we stand on Clayton end? we were virtually in line wi the incident n we were all convinced it was. O.K.i know its a long way across yon, but thats how it looked to us.

Dinos injury seems to be taking forever to recover from, thats starting to concern me a bit. Has been a big miss imho.
Was talking to Dino on saturday, a couple of wks off before he'l be back in action
For having less fans than us you lot really put our fans to shame on the atmosphere side of thing you all deserve a well-earned pat on the back
UP THE DALE
Hrmmmm there was 1660 home fans on yesterday tazzydjr
Apart from when you scored you lot seemed subdued to be honest Was amazed how quiet the Rochdale Fans were in general,
To me many seem to be sulking cos they came down,Have seen the club are crap posts on Rochdale Forum, But don't buy into that, Until pretty recent times ours was n it never made any odds to our Ultras.
Rochdale fans have always been quiet, nothing more to add to that

Nothing probably will change at away games until Sandy Laners stop their petty motive of letting fans who don't sit in their stand integrate songs on the away games. I think they've let their stand down almost every away game this season
UP THE DALE
A huge following and not a peep from Rochdale. The only noise I heard all game was the 20/30 mindless thugs that were in the pub after the game. To quote 'we go every game away, we dont watch the football, we go to cause trouble'.
Now if we're talking about how fans portray themselves to others surely the actions of the idiots in the Pub, are worse than a few sporadic chants aimed at a town with highest unemployment rate in the country. Anyway i'll leave the politics.
People are very quick to throw the negative on us, particularly considering many who criticise didnt see or hear the Clayton End yesterday. The clayton end was epic, packed to the rafters. I'd go as far to say our backing played a huge part in the fightback from our players. Coleman and Jimmy received an outstanding welcome before and after the game, whats your thoughts on that? Surely its more of a talking point.
Its a local derby fueled by passion and emotions. The chants do not insinuate that everyone in Rochdale is involved in the 'topic' just as everyone in Morecambe is not a cockler, every player for Chelsea is a not Racist, its topical its banter.In fact a few things were aimed in our direction when Stan the Monkey was publicised and the Gambling saga came to light. I didnt take offence and nor should anybody else. We didnt sing about rape, or the abuse to Children, people are looking to far into it and deciphering it down to be personal to all Rochdale fans.
The term 'banter' is used often but thats all it is. It wasnt taken too far as people are making out.

After some time for reflection on yesterdays game I now feel it,s time to air my views great game with some great goals I think stanley should feel aggrieved they did,nt get something out the game and if we had come out the blocks in the first twenty the result would have been far different IMO. As for Toto,s little incident I like Cashy felt it was a stonewall pen but having seen it on tv and the stills on here I would say the ref was wrong the trouble with Toto is his tempremant at times and sometimes I feel it,s just like he wants to impress all the time maybe he needs to stand in the naughty corner for a couple of games he has great potental and you can,t fault him for his enthusiasum he needs a bit more care and growth and under Cooky and Leams wing I think he has a bright future.
As for the long awaited return of the messiah and his ex stanley desiples all I will say is thank goodness it,s all done and dusted and now we can move on with the new regime at stanley, don,t get me wrong we needed to give em the reception that they got which is all well and good but JC & JB are now history as far as Stanley is concerned so now we have got the niceties out of the way lets leave it at that and move on.
Stanley have found in the managment duo of Cooky and Leam IMHO a team who can equal if not surpass the acheivments of the two J,s and if the start of this season is anything to go by to me the futures bright the futures Stanley.
As a footnote it was good to see Rochdale could afford enough material for Mr Craney,s shorts and i wonder if they could find us an old pair we can us to cover the pitch when the frosty weather comes !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

If there was chanting about the child abuse in Rochdale then I would say the people who were singing are complete and utter morons and need to grow up. I currently live in Southampton so am not able to attend the games, but I guarantee if I'd heard it I would have both told the people singing to shut up and would have reported it to stewards.
For about 4 years [when I was about 15-19 yrs old] I watched Stanley, home and away, sang my heart out, but not at any point did I join in with singing that was so overtly offensive it is almost laughable; and I dont think I ever heard chanting of that nature. It is inexcuseable to join in and it is inexcuseable to just stand and let people spout such offensive bile. A lot of people who heard the offensive singing and didn't like it were probably too shy or not confident enough to say anything. But, there are enough people on that terrace who aren't backward in coming foward, who can let people know when they've overstepped the mark.
The atmosphere at Accrington for some big games over the years has been excellent. We don't need offensive chanting to add to that. Why don't we try and be different to most of the negative stuff you hear about football fans and not put up with it. Excusing it as mere 'banter' is lazy.
