Rochdale vs Leyton Orient

[The Terminator]

I will be one of about 50-70 idiots travelling up to watch this

I want us down before the last day, so a loss here would be very useful as I want to abuse the hell out of ALL of our players, the manager and ALL his staff as well as our stupid retarded owner and his dopey chief executive at our final home game of the season.

 

[Crewelad87]

Our biggest game of the season this is.

Come on Dale... Although have to fancy Orient to win this.

Come on Dale... Although have to fancy Orient to win this.

Agree with you because while Rochdale have nothing to play for, Orient certainly have something to play for.

 

[LuSiVe]

Come on Orient ... a point at least please

 

[Town]

Massive leyton orient fan for a couple of hours tomorrow.

 

[joethegill]

Orient were a tougher opposition than Rochdale in the last few weeks, so on that basis alone I'll go for a sneaky 1-0 away win.

 

[THE LAST WALTZ]

More chance of crapping in the queen's handbag than Orient keeping a clean sheet.
2-2 or 3-2 Orient.

 

[RotherhamDale]

No idea how this will go.

Erm

4-1 Dale. Dagnall to switch to a blue shirt when nobody is looking.

 

[AJMarsden17]

Could do with you getting a point out of this at least Orient!

 

[The Terminator]

Bring back Steve Whitehall, Tony Ford and Dave Lancaster.

 

[Steven Simcock]

Dale win pleaseee

Also fun fact: I was "removed" from Spotland stadium in December 2005 at half time for apparently swearing and making obsecene gestures towards home supporters during the first half.

As I was removed and surrounded by about ten stewards after taking a leak in the away end toilets (no word of a lie), the female "Mandy Dingle steward" had trouble opening the back door of the away section to remove me, which was quite amusing.

I watched the second half from our supporters coach as we won 4-2 with ten men.

I may do the same tomorrow to ensure a quick exit at half time when we're 4-0 down and have ten men. My two visits to Spotland since that day have always brought a smile to my face, as I stare at the back door of the away end and wonder why it was so difficult that particular day to open.

We will lose.

Bring back Steve Whitehall, Tony Ford and Dave Lancaster.

Could do with centre half cover.

What's Alan Reeves up to these days??

What's Alan Reeves up to these days??

He's now so slow that he walks around backwards.

 

[Dale4ever]

Tough game, Orient need to win, whereas our season is all but over now. A decent referee would be nice.

 

[The Terminator]

Deserved loss, which the owner was there to see.

We badly need to score first in games and in the first half Mooney & Bartley had chances for us to do that.

Second half, Rochdale were the better side, we created nothing and lost our bottle when we fell behind.

Just need to finish the job Saturday!!

 

[RotherhamDale]

Scrappy game which we just about edged. Keyf played a 3-5-2 which didn't work at all in my opinion. We're not good enough to do it at this level.

I thought Orient started brightly, without much threat. Mooney went through on goal but never really looked like scoring.
As the game went on, we grew stronger and stronger and got the goal. It could have been 2 or 3, but for the keeper. His save to keep big Calvin off the score sheet was fantastic.

I noticed that the Orient players got a mixed reception at the end. Applause mixed with abuse. Understandable really.

 

[RotherhamDale]

Oh yeah, we're giving this little play off push a right good bloody go. I'm not sure how but we're scrapping away!

 

[Look Out There Are Llamas]

More abuse than applause. We only had Cisak, Baudry and Bartley turn up. Subs were woeful. Second half was beyond woeful. Essentially relegated.

 

[LuSiVe]

Bloody Leyton Orient bottlers.
Hope you go down now.

 

[PuyolisGod]

Great result.

Well done to everybody concerned with Rochdale!

 

[spireite]

Orient... y u do dis

 

[Richard Cranium]

Have Rochdale's crowds been that bad all season? Not a dig, But how the hell do you compete on those gates!

Once we fell behind, we lost our bottle and confidence which has happened so so many times this season. Rochdale grew in confidence and really should've killed the game off before the end.

The reception was expected, half will always clap no matter what, others love to boo no matter what. Me personally I will clap when we win but not bother when we lose as its part and parcel of football losing, shit performances and getting relegated when supporting a small club.

Liverani is not the main blame, but he has rotated the squad at times too much and his subs don't change games enough and he refuses to play Jay Simpson for some reason which is bizarre.

If Rochdale finish 6th I hope they go up.

 

[Dale4ever]

Yes they have, it's pathehic nobody in this town cares enough. Catchment area discussion has been done to death, but the area we are competing in certainty doesn't help our cause, but even so we should be attracting more than we do.

 

[RotherhamDale]

I said at the game that your manager hit the panic button as soon as we scored. He made all 3 subs before we had even made 1.
To be fair to Orient, they never stopped working like some teams do. Number 20 (Bartley?) Looked absolutely gutted as the ball hit the net. He ended up on the line and his face just said 'awww bollocks.' He had a decent game actually.

And yeah, we haven't had good crowds... ever. I think the average gate is about 3200 this season, bearing in mind that a lot of teams brought a few thousand which boosts that number a bit.
