Rochdale v Spurs

CrumpetMonkey · Post by **CrumpetMonkey** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 3:53 pm

Could Rochdale cause an upset here ?

Tottenham was minutes away from going out to Newport in the last round.

I fear 'Dale may have given up an advantage by having the pitch renewed.

Wouldnt be surprised if Spurs give them the money to get it done ?

My sister and nephews have gone on the Leeds - Bristol City game (birthday party for one of their friends), so I think I'll watch that when they kick off.

I'd like Rochdale to win. I remember going to Spotland for a trial about 92 years ago (or so it feels).

Just found out the draw for quarter finals has already been made - there was still 2 games to kick off

I listened to the chairman on Friday and it was paid for 100% by Rochdale, he clarified that point because of rumours.

And surprisingly managed to keep Spurs, Chelsea, United and City apart. Strangely they managed to do exactly the same thing in the league cup quarter finals as well.

Get a replay and they've got their dosh for the pitch back.

Big ask, mind.

I had to laugh at your 92 years ago because I know that feeling --I had a trial there 53 years ago and the pitch was none too clever in those days either.

Fantastic overplaying by Spuds in the box and then missing the goal

Stayingup · Post by **Stayingup** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 4:32 pm

Watching Trippier. Love to watch him. He's one of my favourite players.

Spurs obviously more class and are better but Rochdale have had a couple of good chances.

CrumpetMonkey · Post by **CrumpetMonkey** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 4:32 pm

Chants of ‘Burnley reject’ towards Trippier

Spuds looking like a non league side..Another chance missed by Rochdale..

Dirty Leeds losing.

Deserved goal from Dale

Great stuff!

Tripps a yard behind?

JohnMac · Post by **JohnMac** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 4:45 pm

What a cracking goal!

Stayingup · Post by **Stayingup** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 4:52 pm

Can they hold out? Kane will surely score when he comes on.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 4:55 pm

They'll just bring Alli on to fall over in the box if they need a goal.

Wonder if the pie and peas at Spotland are still as good as yesteryear....?

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:02 pm

Come on, 'Dale!

conyoviejo · Post by **conyoviejo** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:02 pm

A deserved lead for Rochdale,hope they can increase it in the second half..

Mondsley · Post by **Mondsley** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:04 pm

Always had a soft spot for the Dale. Growing up in Littleborough used to go and watch them in the days of Reg Jenkins and Tony Buck. Never thought I would see them beat us with 9 men!! Really hope they can hold on.

That long grinding version of "oh when the saints" is bloody awful.

The diver is on. Hope they don't cheat their way to a winner.

Looking a bit knackered now, 'Dale.

shocking dive.

do tottenham need to cheat to beat the mighty rochdale?

Dele dives again

Diving cheating git.

Blatent dive never a penalty

Buxtonclaret · Post by **Buxtonclaret** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:47 pm

Bloody knew it.........diving toe rag.
Made contact, but he really knows how dive.

Sickened for Dale.

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:47 pm

See my post#22..

Mind, you, it was entirely predictable.

Rileybobs · Post by **Rileybobs** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:47 pm

Alli is turning into the next Vardy. He’s clever at ensuring that there is contact, and as we all know contact in the box is now universally accepted as a penalty.

He’s a cheating turd. Is there a more dislikeable player in the Premier League?

ClaretDiver · Post by **ClaretDiver** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:48 pm

Cheating ****!

ŽižkovClaret · Post by **ŽižkovClaret** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:48 pm

Not a dive for me.

RingoMcCartney · Post by **RingoMcCartney** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:48 pm

Dele alli really really is a stain on football. His acrobatics have, once again, robbed a team. I genuinely wouldn't have light bulb head near our club.

dsr · Post by **dsr** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:49 pm

There was no way Madley was going to miss that chance. He knows he' a premier league referee and he referees for his team. He's been giving them every free kick they asked for. Rochdale players can fall over after contact and it's play on. No problems that way for Spurs.

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Sun Feb 18, 2018 5:49 pm

Fxxxxxg Alli is a disgrace to football. He should 've excluded from football until he says he has learned. Spurs shouldforfeirmt their place in the cup. The worst of all cheating. **** of the game.
