Match Of The Midweek 1: Bury 1-0 Rochdale

Twohundredpercent 01 February @ 05:49 PM EDT

Manchester City and Manchester United may live like kings, dining out on the excess of Premier League football, but this evening our attention turns to two of Manchester's satellite clubs, both of whom may in the past have been considered also-rans of the local scene but both of whom, this season, are having rather good seasons Bury and Rochdale.

Cheltenham Town 1 - 4 Rochdale

Cheltenham Town Are At Home 23 January @ 02:08 PM EDT
Football League 2; Saturday 23rd January 2010
This was not a rout it was a well organised educational away day delivered by a highly competent Rochdale. You got the feeling that on the coach down the manager had asked for a three goal victory; unless Cheltenham misbehaved and were asking for a detention. Click to continue reading...

HMRC Go For The Jugular, And The Clubs Only Have Themselves To Blame

Twohundredpercent 08 January @ 05:46 PM EDT

The cold air that is whistling through football isn't solely as a result of the recent wintry weather. HMRC are on the move, and their aim is to recoup taxpayers' money from football clubs that haven't been paying their bills. They have been busy since the start of the season, having already extinguished Kings Lynn, agreeing a last minute payment plan with Rochdale and forcing a change of ownership at Accrington Stanley, where over £300,000 had to be found new owner Ilyas Khan, at the last minute, paid £110,000 and stood as guarantor for the remainder.

Ich liebe mich selbst, vor allem beim Torerfolg

In der dritten englischen Liga weiß man noch, wie man kreativ Tore bejubelt. Matthew Russell von Rochdale Town F.C. zeigt uns, was er sich für eine Jubelorgie überlegt hat. Er bejubelt sich einfach mal selber, nach seiner frustgeladenen Energieleistung auch vollkommen zu Recht. Sein Team verlor gegen FC United übrigens mit 1:3. Click to continue reading...

One to Watch - Joe Bennett

Middlesbrough FC news, match reports and articles - Boro Mania 21 September @ 04:00 AM EDT

Joe Bennett was recently held back from going to the Under-20 World Cup with England by Gareth Southgate, a clear indication that he is in and around the first team squad and could find himself in the first team before too long.

Bennett is an very talented left full back who currently finds himself behind Andrew Taylor and Jon Grounds in the pecking order, but many think it is a matter of time before Bennett makes the breakthrough.

U2 Is Destroying Football (Pitches)

The Offside 24 August @ 03:30 PM EDT
That's right, the great champion of trendy product branding and impoverished people, Bono, is destroying football. Hard to believe, isn't it? We've heard a number of times about concerts doing damage to football pitches. For example, "Madonna" is now German for "neutral site". But normally we hear about the state of the grass or the inflamed [. Click to continue reading...

Dirty Tackle 10 August @ 04:08 PM EDT

The BBC debuted a new late night football highlight show aptly titled "Football League Show" last night, but don't let the boring title and worn territory of sports highlight shows fool you the world's largest broadcaster has taken a unique approach to the old format.

While showing highlights from Saturday's League Two clash between Torquay and Chesterfield at 12:50 am last night, the video inexplicably cuts to a scene from the surfer girl flick Blue Crush just as Kate Bosworth sits down on a toilet (0:42 into the video above).

Ground-sharing: Should it be a taboo?

Pitch Invasion 10 July @ 09:54 PM EDT

There is something of a buzz walking into your rival team's stadium. Being in a small minority of a group of away supporters is surely part of it; you're outnumbered, but you're hungrier and louder as a response. Everywhere around you is enemy territory. It's not home; it's unfamiliar, it's foreign, it doesn't belong to your club.

The Moose that roared? Gareth Musson Brisbane Strikers

A seat at the A-League 22 May @ 11:19 PM EDT
It is great to see young players making their way to their local A-League club. However, Brisbane Roar has a wealth of strikers and you have to be pretty good to score in the A-League these days.
I keep an eye on the off-season Queensland State League to see if any gems are being thrown up. Click to continue reading...

League Two Ups and Downs

soccerword.com 03 May @ 10:34 AM EDT

League Two
Brentford have won League Two, and will be joined in League One next year by Exeter, Wycombe, and the playoff winner. Luton Town finish bottom of the league, primarily due to the hard 30 point penalty they received before the season began. Without the point deduction, Luton would have finished comfortably in 15th.

Balti Pies and Rochdale- a taste of the lower leagues

Footy/Soccer Blog 09 April @ 09:13 AM EDT

Football was once described as a game that touched the hearts of people who witnessed the fluttering of its silken wings. The ‘beautiful game' is perceived as the most elegant, perfect sport known to man. In other words, God has goalposts in his back garden.

However, it was with a note of self pity that I approached a modest urban ground called ‘Spotland', home of Rochdale FC, on a biting Saturday morning.

League Two Update

soccerword.com 14 March @ 03:42 PM EDT

League Two News
With fewer than 10 matches to go, it looks like Brentford will earn promotion to League One, especially after their 3-3 draw against Wycombe today. Sam Williams scored a late goal for the Bees to keep them 7 points ahead of second place Wycombe. There are three automatic promotion places in League Two, so Wycombe will battle it out with Rochdale, Bury, Exeter, and Gillingham for the final two automatic promotion spots.
