Apparently, buckets 2.0 have to replay said game v Wythenshawe away tonight following an FA ruling.
Apparently, buckets 2.0 fans are screaming from the rooftops that it is everybody else's fault but their own.

I guess there is a feeling from last season that when we went up against the teams who threatened the play off / promotion places, we mostly bottled it. There was a lack of character when under that sort of pressure and "clout" was unfortunately used as an excuse which wasn't believed. We were weak in those contests and the finger pointed at the manager.
We'll see over the next few games how the character / bottle / game management of what is a far better quality team as a whole holds up to such challenges. I hope our current fantastic start to the season (bar one aberration) proves we have the kahunas to succeed in games to come. Over to you, Jim. |

A solid win, that wasn't easy to come by. Credit to our lads for the 3 points.
First ten minutes, I christened the ref Braintree Braintree such was his biased incompetence. How he loved Braintree in spite of the facts.
One for TVOS: Have we ever won 6 of our first 7 league games before? Can't fault 18 from 21, but then we remember Brackley... Silly Jim.
Great start.
The Scunny game seems to have been controversial re: its abandonment. unless newer facts are available? [Post edited 6 Sep 22:09]

Didn't he send an e mail prior to the infamous night of the meetings in June 2021 claiming credible parties were in place to take over the club?
In just over a month, it was clear how lacking in credibility said "parties" were.
Birds of a feather..... |

Nonsense, Marjorie. You never have been or ever will be toxic, though I get your drift.
You have class. Some have none.
Your next Champagne in Ratcliffe's is on me.
Best wishes to Freda, how is she? |

As a signatory and attendee of the EGM, who barely spoke at said meeting, I am unsure as to whether I am an ordinary Trust member taking an interest in its affairs, or part of a "mob" or even one of the "Toxic 5".
Thought I got on cordially with the Trust board members I know. Conversations with such after the meeting, and e mails, further conversations, correspondence and one meeting since, suggested that was the case. Seems I've been stereotyped otherwise, along with other concerned Trust members (the mob) who made proposals that the Trust board have included in the updated Trust directors spec, which they sent out to members in an e mail dated 18th August 2025.
Said e mail at no point mentioned the EGM called by members, no acknowledgement of their wise contributions to amending the role, nor have any minutes of said meeting been seen.
As a founder member of the Dale Trust board when it launched on 22nd January 2004, it is repellent to see the democratic values that are at the core of THE MEMBERS Dale Trust are being treated with such disdain, and that internal correspondence that needs to remain internal is being handled irresponsibly. Hence this unfortunate thread.
Serving on the Dale Trust board is time consuming and not always an easy task. Service in that role is appreciated, but it comes with responsibility. Name calling of lay members involved in the democratic process because is doesn't suit what certain board members would like is not on. Leaking such abuse is even worse.
FFS we're not bury.
Sad to say Dale Trust have cocked up this time. Apology required, learn lessons then move on. |

Scrapped for a win and got one.
Conversations before and after the game were filled with bemusement regarding last Saturday's bewildering team selection.
Reverting to the title of this thread, I hope no other team has to endure a second half of bare faced, almost deliberate incompetence from this referee again. He was inconsistent beyond words. |
