@CharxRafc We need someone experienced at establishing clubs in the league. I think taking a punt on an inexperienced young manager at EFL level would be a recipe for disaster if they don't hit the ground running

🚨 Rochdale and York City have released the following joint statement:

“This Saturday’s game brings an end to one of the most thrilling, exciting and unpredictable title races in football history. Both ourselves and Rochdale have the chance to write our names in National League history.

The National League is no longer a non-league competition. It is effectively a League 3, with fully professional clubs operating at a level equal to or higher than many of those in League 2.

We both understand how important this game is to both clubs and supporters. We both pledge now that whatever happens tomorrow, we will both continue to fight for 3UP.

Both clubs sit on over 100 points. One of us will have to fight once more in the National League Play-Offs. However, we both strongly believe that this shouldn’t have to be the case.

We call on the National League, Football Regulator, EFL and Premier League to come together immediately and resolve this issue, so that we do not have to highlight this injustice year after year.

For both sets of supporters attending the Crown Oil Arena this weekend, we say thank you for being with us all season. The passion you’ve shown for both clubs has been felt across the world. This game will be seen far and wide. We want to showcase this league for all its potential. Keep your support in the stands, not on the pitch, and let’s all protect the game we love.

Thank you!

Rochdale AFC & York City FC”

Exactly the reason why it annoys me when players immediately take the medals off after a final!

[Football Tweet ⚽ @Footballtweet]

🗣️ David Villa, on the value of a runners up medal in the Champions League:

“I have the silver medal from Atleti's final on the same shelf as the gold one I won with Barça. And my son Luca was asking me why I had it there…

And I say: ‘Do you know how hard it is to reach a Champions League final and lose it?’. I would have loved to win it, of course, and we would have gone much further into Atlético de Madrid's history as the first ones to win it, and all that you want.

But let's analyse it: Do you know how hard it is to reach a Champions League final in that season? It wasn't Atlético de Madrid's current squad.

It was a very short squad, where we had a lot of young guys, where we had to go to the Camp Nou and leave it all out physically a week before, when Madrid was resting at home already preparing for the Champions League final…

It can't be a thorn in my side. Would we have liked to win it? Of course…, but you have to give value to what was achieved.” 🧠🥈

@IBradders @YorkCityFC Makes me want to unfollow you seeing this

@PaulMcGarraghy @PitchPublishing @80s90sfootball Mine has to be Beckham's redemption at the 2002 WC with that penalty against Argentina or Bergkamps goal against Argentina in 98

Looking to get back into some writing or video content.

Anybody know of anybody looking for writers or video content creators who cover EFL or National League mainly?

Would be happy to cover PL, La Liga or Bundesliga too 😊

@RhysCurtis14 @DGreen102 @OverTheBarFB @BundesligaRory @bulinewsdotcom @CovertFootyTrip @otb_benjamin @PaulMcGarraghy @IBradders @PeterVicey Definitely worth a discussion then

[David (P)earson @dwp1989]

@DGreen102 @RhysCurtis14 @OverTheBarFB @BundesligaRory @bulinewsdotcom @CovertFootyTrip @otb_benjamin @PaulMcGarraghy @IBradders @PeterVicey Maybe launch my comeback too? 😂

[David (P)earson @dwp1989]

@PaulMcGarraghy @RhysCurtis14 @DGreen102 @OverTheBarFB @BundesligaRory @bulinewsdotcom @CovertFootyTrip @otb_benjamin @IBradders @PeterVicey Yeah I echo Paul’s sentiments. Ben was a cracking cohost before I had to give it up and Rhys you took up the mantle and did a great job.

It was a blast over the years to be involved in what started out as a way of keeping in touch with friends from Uni into something we could never imagine. I got to interview players, write about my beloved Rochdale and have a platform to write and record about the game I love

[David (P)earson @dwp1989]

Today marks the end of an Era, OverTheBar is no more. Following an agreement reached in June, ownership has changed. From today the OTB brand has ceased and takes on a new name The Bundesliga Show. I’m no longer involved, but I wish Mark & Rory all the best with what they do next

[The Bundesliga Show @TheBuliShow]

🚨 ANNOUNCEMENT 🚨

After a series of successful negotiations we are excited to announce Over The Bar will now be rebranded to The Bundesliga Show.

We (Mark & Rory) are very excited for the 2025/26 season & about what is to come on the channel!

[David (P)earson @dwp1989]

@IBradders @up_the_millers You need to watch a National League game Ian if you think those tactics are the norm. Vast majority of the sides I’ve seen play Dale since we ended up down there try and play some good stuff. Just don’t have the level of player for it to be a huge success
