    Dropped it twice before he signed it though. That's a guaranteed 6 points for us next season then.

    Oh no….you can write the script already. RoD saves last minute penalty to deny the Bantams their 20 match winning run…… I’ll get mi coit.

    To be fair, I always thought RO'D played to his capability. Perhaps not the greatest, but nevertheless a reasonable and wholehearted player. He got into being a Bradford City player. I wish him well for the future, except when he plays against us.

    Rooted to his line for Crewe's first and beaten from distance for their second-sounds familiar?

    No chance. I liked his personality, commitment and attitude but to be honest he was the worst first choice keeper we've ever had. Capable of the odd spectacular save, but so is any professional keeper.

    Wish him the best, of course, but would absolutely be relishing playing against him.

    He wasn't even the worst keeper we had last season.

    Perhaps it's the wording but hat doesn't even make sense as an argument.

    There's failing upwards, and there's Richard O'Donnell having a medical at Blackpool today. I know he'll only be a back up at very best but it's not a bad way to start coming towards the end of his career than playing none league football at Rochdale.

    Yeah but there's Richard O' Donnell levels and then there's treble winning Scott Carson levels!

    Eh?

    I suppose Premier League teams sometimes sign old veteran keepers that will never play 'just in case'.

    Good for O'Donnell.

    Guess he'll be third choice keeper, but could even be fourth? One of them hasn't played much though, so I'm going with third. No word on if he'll be coaching or anything, but I imagine they wanted an experienced head in?

    I don't know, I'm just making excuses.

    Blackpool had better hope he’s only there as backup otherwise they’ll likely end up in the National league.
    Relegation follows ROD wherever he goes.

    Starts in goal for Blackpool away at Derby tonight and Blackpool are 2-0 up. What a turnaround after getting relegated out of the league last season!
