Before Buckley has a go for sure.

I get the “ Observer “ I’ll have a look.

That’d be my team I think.

I was browsing the racks in TK Maxx a few years back, what should I see but a modern copy of that very shirt that Pele is wearing in that photograph. I just had to buy it. The colour is green. It was the “ away “ shirt. A few weeks later I came across the white “ home “ shirt. I got that as well.

How many games did he play for Rovers and how many good games did he have ? A deeply average player.

We’ve nearly had as many pages on a non event as we sometimes do on an actual game. Give it up lads, in tomorrow’s paper it’ll tell you the match was postponed.

He’s a number 9 type lump who can’t really play as a number 9. I thought maybe he could at one time but I was wrong.

He might be able to get his head up and pick out a pass.

The skipper.

Not much of a bounce there.

We signed two players who can play in our current system. That’s after signing Khadra and Poveda who are best suited to that system. We already have Dolan who is a similar player. All our eggs in that same basket. If we can’t make that system work again we have no plan B. I’d have signed a more conventional type of striker just to give us options.

Edun’s looked bad at the time. The Luton player really filled him in, and he got away with it.

Burns got subbed off just after half time at Scunthorpe. They lost 1-2 to Rochdale . Nuttall came on in his place.

Yeah. If you’d have told me the result was going to be a 3-0 I’d have said Brighton win. Maybe they were over confident.

Swansea, who recently beat us with ten men got dicked 4-0 today.

So the girl is there in a football shirt and Ben is wrapped up like a mummy !

I would have made it just in time for the kick off - but I had to go back for my sunglasses.

Maybe they didn’t want the snow to melt and soak the pitch ?

I presume they’ve had a look at the forecast for this afternoon and it’s clear. It’s stopped snowing here anyway.

We all die in the end. James Bond isn’t special in that regard.

I’d swap Buckley and Rothwell around position wise. Chances are that won’t be the team though.

What’s it like in Darwen ? Still snowing here in Rochdale but nothing like as bad as it was. Roads not too bad.

Unfortunately it’s not about the pitch these days is it. It’s about the area surrounding the stadium.

Just clear the touch lines etc. As long as it doesn’t get any worse it should be playable.

Back to big lumps falling again here 18 miles away. I was right about the gritters, the road outside my house isn’t clearing. That’s unusual because we’re on the route to the infirmary 200 yards away.
