I hope a Rochdale player does something agricultural to Dele Alli.

Lucas taking lessons from the little sh!t, it would appear. I'm surprised half of them
can stay standing in that fairly strong breeze. :D

:shock: Got to say the commentary / punditry has hit a new low in this game. It is absolute garbage

Their antics are rapidly turning me off football, it's becoming an absolute farce and is disgraceful.

I really want Dale to win, ..... but if (and I know it’s a big if) we finish seventh then we need one of the top teams to win the FA cup and we are in Europe. Decisions decisions.

This is increasingly becoming a game of spot the ball. Why aren't they playing with
an orange ball, for goodness sake ?

Probably can’t use an orange ball nowadays as the sponsors want the ‘official’ ball on the pitch at all times, even if it makes the game impossible to watch. Also I wouldn’t be surprised if you can’t have an orange ball now due to it offending someone. Been years since I’ve seen an orange ball.

VAR is not like rugby, where the referee says what he wants the camera to look at, as that is the doubt. Nothing else matters. Also not shown on screen, so secretive.

White out h, white ball, white spurs...Rochdale never stood a chance!

I can remember that the Clarets, maybe for one or two seasons, walked collectively, arm in arm, to Spotland from the Turf. It was great exercise and fantastic fun and boy did people enjoy their pints when they got there. Possibly `88/89 and `90/91?

It probably would have reminded me of an average leg of the Tour de France. Did they have a bone wagon following behind?

Just watched it. The disallowed VAR goal at first viewing I agreed with but then changed my mind.
The Son penalty, in my opinion, was correctly disallowed as he had two distinct movements in the run. The keeper doesn`t stand a chance!!!!!
It really does need to be speeded up though and at least shown on a big screen in the stadium.

The snow got me thinking though and trying to recollect the `worst` snow I have experienced watching Burnley. Halifax Town away when we were throwing snowballs at their keeper (believe he took it in good jest)?
