Elite compared to now.

I’d persuaded some of my school team mates to come along on the strength of the 7-2 thrashing of Spurs and the thought of seeing Stanley Mathews. We’d played that morning so we’d be there in our school uniforms, probably minus school ties though. Young people today don’t realise that the modern fashion for casual and sporting clothes hadn’t been invented at that time. Nobody there would be wearing a replica shirt. Same goes for club branded clothing. It hadn’t been thought of. I was one of the first lads in Rochdale to get a pair of training shoes in about 1966. . They were a blue “ Adidas “ pair. One summer night we’d been training and after we’d got changed I kept the trainers on. We decided to go to the nearest pub for a shandy. When I walked in the pub everybody looked at me like I had two heads. That’s how things were then !

Good on you. Needs more to have the guts to make this stance. I did the same about three years ago. We need these scabs out of our club

Not in the least bit sad to see gueye go, I thought he looked like a footballer on his debut right up to the point he tried to strike the ball, he couldn’t shoot. Got the odd goal with his head but he wasn’t particularly good with that either

that is so depressing, could have been competition for both wing back spots, and also on the wing should we switch back to a 4 man defence seems a very good price too

Bali mumba signing for Huddersfield for £1 million

The sales of Jones, Kalinic and Samba brought in enough to cover V;s purchase price plus the inherited overdraft. I'd love to know where all that money went seeing as we still had Prem income then to run the club and previous losses were i think sub 10 million.

Beamo

I'd be all over max Dean. He's 21 scored goals in the champions league/europa league. Has a decent strike rate. Shame we've no chance of getting him

Oh for the halcyon days of Corrado Grabbi.

Well, we've no substantive transfer links to talk about so might as well carry it on. Fun fact: Gueye scored the same number of goals last season as Luke Varney did between 2014 -18. (Six) Reg Varney would have been better. "Get that bus out Butler".

Exactly Tim! Pointless argument. I'll say this though, that Gueye was no Paul McKinnon.

Agreed. There will be coaches out there that could come in and do a better job than Ismael. The question is whether Rovers are capable of appointing one... 😅

Read he did his ACL in December 2024...missed the remainder of last season as a result, so has probably been set back in his development since.

Had a cruciate ligament injury in Jan 2025, missed nearly a year of football.

I posted about Max Dean as an overseas English option playing in Belgium a few weeks ago, didn't necessarily want us to actually go after him. Probably where to rumour came from tbh, I'm deffo not an itk, just a Football Manager player lol. Young so should develop; good last year, but poor this year; English but plays in Rudy's favourite league.

Exactly. " But who would come in?" " But who would buy us?" etc.....

Pretty sure this guy posts nothing but total bollox.

Was mildly interested until I saw who the poster was

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2026/january/13/rovers-to-take-on-the-trotters-in-lancashire-senior-cup/ Rovers will welcome Bolton Wanderers to the Rovers Academy next month in the next round of the Lancashire Senior Cup. A place in the final of the competition will be the reward for the victors as the tournament reaches the final four stage. The tit against the Trotters will take place on Wednesday 11th February, with kick-off scheduled for 1pm. The other semi-final will pit Burnley against Wigan Athletic.

Tonight's game postponed, I think that's it for loanee games now until the weekend Edmondson - postponed

I was going to ask why his name was just left like a bad smell with absolutely no further information or source. Seemingly embarassment as to what that source is.

His complete lack of effort this season has been totally unforgivable, and he has to move on. But the right manager could have got a tune out of Gueye I think. Sure Allardyce would have for example. Not a good fit for Eustace or Ismael though who prioritise pressing from the forwards which he is hopeless at.

Barrister will go down with cramp on case #35 to waste time and get the physio on.
