Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

evenin' Ddevil - sounds like we are having fun at Radcliffe and our new strikers are having a lot of the ball.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

oh yes

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Don't even know if I can make this Saturday yet due to unforeseen injury (broken foot) so I cannot drive from Wigan will have to see if my chauffeur can help.

Any idea where the goalie has come from?

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

HT 4-0 kee again ive been on with the name since kick off but i will find him before the season starts

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Byron Rundle from Blackburn Rovers? Apparently he has been loaned out very recently.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Duff info on Goalkeeper its not Rundle sorry

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

5-0 kee again

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Bloody hell, seems like Coley has worked his magic again, lets hope Kee is up to it in league 2.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

are we good or are they poor? Are you at the match de or is it on t'wireless

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

keeper is apparently Sam Russell from Rochdale

UK Cowboy has stated to me ont' phone that Kee is very economical in front of goal, even going as far as calling him clinical!!! Lets hope he can step up come the start of the season and have the same impact

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

i did'nt want to name him as he was at rochdale last season, don' know if he's been released or not

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Gotta hope it is good and they are poor. But this Kee fella seems useful and with Joyce and Gary King joining in the goalscoring fun, then maybe we have the start of a useful team. Hell Michael Symes aint playing yet so we could have cover up front, now to get the goalkeeping department sorted. Thats my worry

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

:)we may not need agood keeper if we can keep banging them in like the lads are tonight ;):D

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Just been on RBFC twitter site and it says 4-0??? Being updated by mobile - can anyone confirm please?

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

unibond north ?

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

I hope that they are playing good, :confused: Just we are playing even better..... :D:D:)

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

5-0 on phone now

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Its definately 5-0 at the mo. Gary king, Luke Joyce and a hat trick for Kee

Pretty sure Sam Russell was released by Rochdale at the end of last season, he certainly not down on their current squad lists

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

thanks for the updates

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Sorry I meant Tuesday night, not Saturday

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Depends on which site you go on, He is down as their No1 even though Kenny Arthur is also listed as No1. Interesting (from Rochdale website current squad)

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Yes, you're right, Sparkie; see BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | R | Rochdale | Rochdale tell 10 they can leave

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Do you get the match ball in a friendly????

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

:)any more goals:D

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Greedy:)

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

BILLY KEE!!!!!

Economical is a very good word for this guy. He didn't do a lot off the ball but when he had the ball he was aiming for glory. His second was a belter as he skipped through three or four challenges in a crowded box and slipped it in.

Sam Russell was good with his kicking but didn't have much to do other than back passes. He missed punching a cross which let their number 9 in but he was that surprised to suddenly have sight of goal that he cocked it up and let Russell recover.

It was a good combative run out for the lads but Radcliffe offered little in real threat. Gary King looked good.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Dream on mab.:) forwards are a little better in div 2.;)

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Thanks fer the link mab- Bring on the Dingles.:D;)

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Although he didn't have anything to do, I wouldn't say he stands out as our new number one.
There'll be better out there.

good work out the big test next + full house =$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for new players 4,500 we pay

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Both teams winning 5-0 last night, you might miss a goalfest if you don't make it Tuesday :D

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Radcliffe were probably the poorest of the teams we've played so far this pre-season, but it was a good run out.

Sam Russell had 3 years at Darlington, before Rochdale, so plenty of experience there.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

[the 2008–09 season Russell was handed the number one shirt for Rochdale. He has made some important saves for Rochdale this season, however he makes the occasional mistake, such as scoring an own goal in the Rochdale and Bury derby, and slipping in a late equaliser by Jamie Ward against Chesterfield despite a Tom Kennedy late winner]. - seems like could be another Gary Sprake.:D still i made a mistake.............Once.:D taken fron wiki.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

I've been talking today to a Darlo fan who reckons that they would willingly have him back - and had hoped, in fact, that Colin Todd might have moved in for him. Says he's a good keeper, was popular with the fans and he reckons that if he were to play for us against Darlo he'd get an ovation from the Darlo crowd. Sounds a far better option than Dunsavin!!!

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

The only action that Russell saw against Radcliffe was when a cross came in and he shouted "keeper's!", went to punch rather than catch the ball and subsequently gave a black eye to thin air. Obviously it'd be unfair to right him off after that game, but other reports seem to back up his tendency for such howlers.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

How good is Martin Oldgobbin ? Please give us your opinion of him.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

I honestly don't know, Jeff. Highly regarded here at Leeds but I haven't seen him play, so can't really comment. I personally was quite pleased to see that we were looking at Russell, because of my mate's opinions from Darlo, but that opinion was shot down in flames on here, so I feel I'm better just to wait and see. However, I HAVE seen Dunsavin and I KNOW he's poor!

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

disagree revived red, about as much use as a chocolate fireguard. IMHO.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

You can get a good shot-stopper on Highams on a Saturday morning. To be a good keeper you must be able to make the correct decisions, command the penalty area and have the respect of your defenders who must also have confidence in you. Dunbavin has none of this. In my opinion he is worse than people make out. He is not a good keeper and never will be. We must sign a decent keeper to have any chance of survival this season and if we do sign a decent keeper I can see us having our best season ever.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

... yeah! what Jeff said!

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

"... yeah! what Jeff said!"

Ditto! Spot on Jeff.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

A Rochdale fan on another forum said that we could do worse than sign Sam Russell. As others have said, he is prone to an odd mistake (worst one for Rochdale being him punching the ball into his own goal versus Bury....lol) but on the whole he's a solid 'keeper.

I agree with Jeff concerning Dunbavin. Any 'keeper from the Unibond upwards will be a good shot-stopper, but 'keepers today have to be much more than that.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

I'm a keeper myself so always pay more attention to the man between the posts, and aw the Rochdale games home and away last season and Russell played both and played well, very solid and one of the better keepers I have seen at commanding his area, and made a few good saves too (including one brilliant reaction save in the away game). He's no Kenny but certainly one of the better keepers in the division, and was suprised when he was released.

Incidently in the away game around Xmas time Dunbavin was playing as Kenny injured, and Russell just looked a class apart from him at the other end, remember thinking at the time if the keepers were other way around we'd have won not lost 3-1. Might have the odd moment, but certainly a good signing if his performances against Stanley last season were anything to go by.

A side issue, keepers having 'moments' coming for crosses are often (although not always) a bit unfair I reckon. I'd far prefer a keeper that consistently comes and deals with crosses and gives away a goal or two in a season than one who remains rooted to his line everytime the ball comes near. Although it's pretty much impossible to show, I reckon keepers like that let in a fair few more goals a season from close range headers that simply wouldn't be chances if they could judge a cross and come to claim it. Rant over!!!

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

I am sure any keeper Unibond or otherwise would have been proud though of Dunbavin's performance in the 2-2 06/07 league draw at Mansfield.

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Sorry had to post this,I personally would love to see you guys play us in a pre-season friendly.Think of it money wise probably close to a full house as on the FC United forum they regard their time in 2005/2006 season when we played at your ground as some of the best away days they had.IMHO I think we may give you a sterner test than Radcliffe Borough.Any ways good luck for the future season :)

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Don't forget the big favour Sam Russell did for us in Conference days by getting himself injured so that Darlo then had to recall Bertrand Bossu after just one match for us! :)

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

I believe your club are banned from the Crown Ground.:(

Re: Radcliffe Tonite
 

Yes, a good performance of shot stopping.
