Tranmere turn to this man to help turn around their flagging fortunes.

:00:06.:00:12.

Tonight, Ronnie Moore tries his best at Prenton Park. Welcome to

:00:12.:00:22.
:00:22.:00:28.

Coming up tonight, then deals uphill battle. Apologies all round,

:00:28.:00:35.

but cannot Rochdale escape from their sorry state? Be got it wrong

:00:35.:00:43.

Gillic in the season. Is it is it the end for or the one major? And

:00:43.:00:46.

when training was poor blacks, a football legend reveals which

:00:46.:00:55.

football club's training regime included hide-and-seek. You had to

:00:55.:01:05.
:01:05.:01:06.

Apology for the loss of subtitles for 40 seconds

:01:06.:01:46.

Rochdale are rock bottom of the table after a loss away to Carlisle.

:01:46.:01:55.

Their trip to Huddersfield on Saturday to be even more importance.

:01:55.:01:59.

In a tough loss for Rochdale fans, bottom of the table after a long

:01:59.:02:07.

trip to Carlisle. Party due to? Devastating. You just think, we

:02:07.:02:14.

want those. So badly. A absolutely gutted, especially after Sheffield

:02:14.:02:20.

Wednesday, the penalty miss. I hope it doesn't haunt us. Apologies to

:02:20.:02:24.

the fans after the game have helped to soften the blow. I thought it

:02:24.:02:34.

was very nice of him, it really nice. You don't get managers

:02:34.:02:38.

apologising but he is bigger than that and he is the man for our job.

:02:38.:02:43.

Speed into bitter man, he was confident that John Coleman can

:02:43.:02:47.

keep Rochdale up. Been bottom of Billy, how does that fit with their

:02:47.:02:53.

club? Not very easily, actually, but it was nothing to do with John.

:02:53.:02:57.

We have certainly tighten the defence up and we are a lot better

:02:57.:03:03.

and playing some good football. What we did in the early part of

:03:03.:03:08.

the season is catching up with us. People forget we have been down in

:03:08.:03:17.

a division. We are expecting better this season and we have addressed

:03:17.:03:23.

the problems. It is just whether we have got enough time. I think we

:03:23.:03:27.

have. If you do not have enough time, are their contingency plans?

:03:27.:03:35.

Absolutely. We are going to turn in a good province would the season. -

:03:35.:03:42.

- profit for the season. Should the worst happen, we should be able to

:03:42.:03:52.

build a team. Can they start to flog their way

:03:52.:03:59.

back third of the relegation zone? The odds were not looking too good,

:03:59.:04:04.

when Danny Ward struck Kong for Huddersfield just after the break.

:04:04.:04:10.

How do you answer that? For Rochdale, with this... Tutte

Rochdale, with this... Tutte Rochdale, with this... Tutte

Rochdale, with this... Tutte levelling things up. Jordan Rhodes

places above them. The believe you can keep them in

:04:37.:04:45.

his sleep. Without a doubt. I would not have come here if I didn't

:04:45.:04:48.

think the players were not good enough. The players have shown that

:04:48.:04:58.
:04:58.:05:08.

they are. Well League One is proving to be hard going for all

:05:08.:05:11.

our sides this season, with the rest of the action from the weekend,

:05:11.:05:14.

here's Howard Booth. Tranmere were in front after a

:05:14.:05:19.

corner. A second in first-half injury time proved a killer blow.

:05:19.:05:28.

There was a conversion to help It is for games without a goal for

:05:28.:05:34.

Preston. They find the net against Scunthorpe but it was ruled out for

:05:34.:05:39.

offside. If you want to sum up Oldham's season, look at our last

:05:39.:05:48.

three games. They had to tough luck home defeats. They were on good

:05:48.:05:52.

terms against your will but the visitors had a laugh last -- last

:05:52.:05:59.

laugh. This side simply should not have lost.

:05:59.:06:03.

This seemed could be said about Berry, who could have felt hard

:06:03.:06:13.
:06:13.:06:14.

done by to lose at Carlisle. They did not have the advantage for long.

:06:14.:06:19.

It looked like a light -- a drop until just 10 minutes from time.

:06:19.:06:23.

The skipper was caught out. Carlisle were head and the defence

:06:23.:06:33.
:06:33.:06:39.

crumbled. -- ahead. It is now 10 lot healthier for Tranmere than it

:06:39.:06:42.

did this time last week. It's four points from six for Rovers now. But

:06:42.:06:45.

this statistic should send shivers down the spine of North End and

:06:45.:06:48.

Bury fans. From the last 54 points available to those two sides,

:06:48.:06:58.
:06:58.:07:00.

they've taken eleven points between What has changed? People would say

:07:00.:07:04.

it is their new manager, and results do change. It is a good set

:07:05.:07:13.

of lads aren't once you get used to losing, they haven't won for 12...

:07:13.:07:22.

What the due find? -- what did you find? It is just as easy to get in

:07:22.:07:29.

the habit when you start losing. Let's get in there and change the

:07:29.:07:39.
:07:39.:07:40.

way we are playing. I like to play 4-4-2. The big thing for us is the

:07:40.:07:45.

crowd are behind us. Playing at home, I have said to them, we have

:07:45.:07:54.

been lucky away, it gets the crowd behind us. So you are just having a

:07:54.:08:04.

go? It is no good sitting and playing differently. I think they

:08:04.:08:08.

just need to attack harder and try and win. How has it helped, knowing

:08:08.:08:15.

that Tranmere set up so well? to players. Goodison was one.

:08:15.:08:20.

Taylor was the other one. The wealth -- the rest I do not know.

:08:20.:08:28.

If you have got fear in football, you will not shoot. I just tried to

:08:28.:08:32.

relieve that and try and put farm things into big game. That has

:08:32.:08:38.

probably helped, be clean slate? The biggest thing for me, it is

:08:38.:08:43.

great to be back. It would have been 12 month on 22nd March. It has

:08:43.:08:48.

been a nightmare. I can do all the washing now, I have been hanging

:08:48.:08:53.

out, just to make sure because my missus has been out working. It has

:08:53.:08:59.

been a long time. I am going to make sure that they are on my side

:08:59.:09:04.

and we are fighting like mad to stay in it. Briefly, Preston

:09:04.:09:08.

tomorrow and in the near future, can those to Max I'd be dried into

:09:08.:09:14.

the relegation? If we can beat Preston it puts us a point behind

:09:15.:09:18.

them. Berry is only another two match points. There is Rochdale as

:09:18.:09:24.

well. One to come from the boys shortly.

:09:24.:09:27.

Well hold onto your hats as we get the weekend's League Two action

:09:27.:09:29.

underway. Gillingham-Crewe was a right rollercoaster. Here's BBC

:09:29.:09:39.
:09:39.:09:45.

they did it a hard way. Their opening goal at Gillingham was

:09:45.:09:55.

described on Radio... Oh, I cannot believe it but I will Tiley once

:09:55.:09:59.

again, watch out, this is goal of the season!

:10:00.:10:05.

They struck back before the break and Powell inspired his side to a

:10:06.:10:12.

second half leat, setting up Smith before scoring his second. What was

:10:12.:10:17.

arguably the game of the weekend, the other side hit back to equalise.

:10:17.:10:26.

It was a fantastic finish. Moore has it. Enit goes to the penalty!

:10:26.:10:32.

They have won it with a wonderful goal! It was a long but happy trip

:10:32.:10:36.

home for Accrington, who took the lead at Southend. The Essex side

:10:36.:10:41.

are not end the automatic promotion places for nothing. They surged

:10:41.:10:50.

ahead midway through the second half. It looked bleak for the boys,

:10:50.:10:54.

but the boss would be delighted that his side stuck to their task

:10:54.:11:01.

and equalised at the death. A brilliant win against Cheltenham

:11:01.:11:06.

in midweek, a Surrey defeat against Hereford for Morecambe, a reverse

:11:06.:11:13.

that might have ended their play- off hopes.

:11:14.:11:17.

After eight straight defeats, it is five straight draws for

:11:17.:11:24.

Macclesfield but this one probably fell like a win. Two down, they

:11:24.:11:33.

showed spirit to fight back laid on. -- later on. In injury time, they

:11:33.:11:41.

grab the equaliser they deserved. This was a valuable point in the

:11:41.:11:51.
:11:51.:11:53.

While points are precious for Macclesfield they will need a

:11:53.:11:57.

couple of wins to ease the pressure. They have a superior goal

:11:57.:12:02.

difference on all the sides below them. Now, he played less than a

:12:02.:12:06.

season for the Shakers but he is still regarded as Bury legend. He

:12:06.:12:11.

went on to win league titles and cups and became his country's most

:12:11.:12:16.

capped players. He was regarded as one of the best in the world at his

:12:16.:12:26.
:12:26.:12:32.

position. It all started at Gigg Bury season 1980/81 and the

:12:32.:12:38.

beginning of a brilliant career. Many great players have graced Gigg

:12:38.:12:42.

Lane down the years. But this guy only played 39 games for bur ri,

:12:42.:12:47.

and yet he became one of the world's great lest goalkeepers

:12:47.:12:56.

was given the tip-off, by a lad called Micky Pick Up who was one of

:12:56.:12:59.

the trainers at Bury. The manager said get down and have a look at

:12:59.:13:06.

him. I did do and I thought this lad's looks the part, who, he was

:13:06.:13:10.

ajiel, good with high balls, terrific at low shots, so I thought

:13:10.:13:15.

he is terrific this boy. Windfall McGuinness was a coach there. He

:13:15.:13:20.

recognised something special and snapped up Neville south hall from

:13:20.:13:24.

a non-league side. It was a dream. It was a good chance to take. The

:13:24.:13:32.

people were friendly, and it always rained. That is Bury. It is cloudy,

:13:32.:13:35.

rainy. Neville didn't drive so he used to cycle or get lifts into

:13:35.:13:41.

training. Some of the sessions left him nonplussed. I I remember one of

:13:41.:13:45.

the training session, we stood in the middle of the pitch and he said

:13:45.:13:50.

last one of of sight. So we had to climb over fences and go behind the

:13:50.:13:54.

bushes and hide. I thought this is real football. There was no warm up.

:13:54.:13:58.

It was last one out of sight or you stand in the middle of the pitch

:13:58.:14:03.

and the last one to touch four posts and back. I thought we

:14:03.:14:07.

haven't warmed up, to me it was great, because I had played non-

:14:07.:14:14.

league and been to grounds in the back of trucks. Summer signing

:14:14.:14:22.

where he won cherub league uners up medal. His displays got rave

:14:22.:14:27.

reviews. Neville says he has only one person to thank. Will of was

:14:27.:14:32.

great. It would be me and him. We used to work for an hour, hour-and-

:14:32.:14:39.

a-half, he knew what he was doing, he was not a goalkeeping coach, he

:14:39.:14:43.

taught me sense to me than all the coaches I have had. He wasn't lazy,

:14:43.:14:48.

he was a tremendous trainer, wanted to learn and he did learn and

:14:48.:14:52.

develop. Tremendous. John Forrest had been the number one at Bury for

:14:52.:14:57.

years but there was no jealousy for the rise of the new star. To help

:14:57.:15:02.

him, give him a shove to start him off, makes you feel good and to

:15:02.:15:06.

help a fellow pro-and make the career he did. It was all football

:15:06.:15:12.

for Neville with no time, nor cash, for anything else. By Christmas, by

:15:12.:15:16.

the time we had snow, all the furniture I brought from Wales I

:15:16.:15:21.

sold, because I couldn't afford to pay the electric bill, so I was,

:15:21.:15:26.

that was handy, because I got a house with a massive storage

:15:26.:15:31.

heaters. I took almy furniture and sold it to pay the bill. Local

:15:31.:15:35.

press named man as the club to be following Neville's progress. It

:15:35.:15:40.

wasn't long before the big clubs came knocking. I thought we have

:15:40.:15:44.

one and I rang Manchester United, and told them what a goalkeeper we

:15:44.:15:49.

have here at Bury. But I think Everton jumped in first and

:15:49.:15:56.

snaffled him up. I had no intentions of moving anywhere or

:15:56.:16:00.

doing anything. I only new about Everton's interest when I went home

:16:00.:16:08.

for, to say with my mum and dad. is regarded as a legend on the blue

:16:08.:16:13.

half of Merseyside having won honours with Everton but he retains

:16:13.:16:17.

huge affection for his first league sidement They gave me more than I

:16:17.:16:22.

took out of them. They gave me lots more. How do you say thank do you a

:16:22.:16:27.

club like that. There would be no Everton without Bury. Great guy. I

:16:27.:16:31.

think his hide-and-seek days are over though! Imagine you are the

:16:31.:16:35.

manager of a lower league club and you are small squad -- your small

:16:35.:16:39.

squad is decimated by injuries the transfer window is shut so the only

:16:39.:16:42.

thing you can do is take a replacement player on emergency

:16:42.:16:48.

loan. Not for long. FIFA is to outlaw that system and it could

:16:48.:16:57.

have catastrophic effects for our clubs. It was introduced six years

:16:57.:17:01.

ago and the emergency loan system continues to be essential for our

:17:01.:17:06.

Football League clubs. Nowhere more so than at Macclesfield who have

:17:06.:17:11.

made four loan signings since Jan, January, three on an emergency

:17:11.:17:21.
:17:21.:17:23.

basis. Well, for clubs like, in our position, you know n the lower esh

:17:23.:17:28.

Lens, that can't carry massive squads, it is a godsend for us.

:17:28.:17:32.

have had 12 front line players out, managed to get four in on loan,

:17:32.:17:36.

which has seen us through. As well as having the summer to bring in

:17:36.:17:40.

players clubs have a month in January and it is during the lat er

:17:40.:17:44.

part of the season having a small squad can take it toll. Other

:17:44.:17:48.

options are available. Though the January transfer window closes on

:17:48.:17:52.

the 31st of that month. Emergency loans can be arranged outside of

:17:52.:17:56.

this period. We have tried to get hold of a FIFA spokesperson to come

:17:56.:17:59.

on the programme to talk about the decision to establish the system,

:17:59.:18:05.

instead, we got a statement. # English football has not been

:18:05.:18:08.

observering the guidelines, an emergency loan is not longer an

:18:08.:18:11.

emergency and England must fall in line with the rest of Europe and

:18:11.:18:15.

the rest of the world. When a player moves clubs it is still

:18:15.:18:19.

considered a transfer and there are two transfer windows, the length

:18:19.:18:26.

lish football will have to abide by.". We have had onrations, hernia

:18:26.:18:31.

operations, groins, hamstrings, calfs. An one stage I only had two

:18:31.:18:37.

defenders in the squad. I hadn't got a keeper fit, so obviously, if

:18:37.:18:42.

we lost that facility, we would have been snookered. Macclesfield

:18:42.:18:47.

aren't alone. Rochdale currently have three standard emergency

:18:47.:18:51.

loanees, Bury Accrington and Crewe have two. Oldham and Preston have

:18:52.:18:56.

one. Bringing in players under the separate category of emergency

:18:56.:19:00.

youth loan signings will be restricted, had that been the case

:19:00.:19:05.

now, Bury wouldn't have been able to make a short-term signing like

:19:05.:19:10.

the teenage West Brom strike er. The youth loans are really

:19:10.:19:14.

emergency loans because they came within that window, or outside the

:19:14.:19:18.

ra transfer window. I think in termles of clubs with small

:19:18.:19:21.

financial budget, we can't be taking players on that won't be

:19:21.:19:25.

involved on a regular basis, to get something for a month or two month,

:19:25.:19:30.

which means it is not restricting us financially is a big help.

:19:30.:19:33.

benefits aren't just for small clubs according to the player's

:19:34.:19:39.

union. We have had some 300 to 400 such loans, for the past five or

:19:39.:19:45.

six seasons. Half of those players will be probably young Premier

:19:45.:19:51.

League player, and I think that is good for Erne r When it is

:19:51.:19:54.

established is that not good for some of your members to get a

:19:54.:19:58.

chance to step up to the first team? Yes, it can in fairness. That

:19:58.:20:03.

is the other side of the argument, with regard to windows, when there

:20:03.:20:07.

is no opportunity to get players, they have to give their own

:20:07.:20:12.

youngsters a chance. If you are good enough we will play them.

:20:12.:20:16.

Certainly, I'm conscious of the fact that sometimes you can play

:20:16.:20:22.

them too early, play them too often, and the young boy Hewitt we have

:20:22.:20:27.

got is a terrific prospect. But he has played a lot of football for a

:20:27.:20:31.

17-year-old. We give him his debut when he was 16. So you have to be

:20:31.:20:36.

careful how you handle the young lads. As our lower league clubs

:20:36.:20:40.

await the implication of change, FIFA has announced a consultation

:20:40.:20:45.

period to consider the whole transfer window structure.

:20:45.:20:50.

Scrapping emergency loans may just be the start. It's a real problem

:20:50.:20:53.

for clubs in genuine need? It is massive. It will be a nightmare for

:20:53.:20:58.

Football League clubs, I mean we have had loanees in from the

:20:58.:21:03.

premier, it stops them, it is a learning curve for the kids and we

:21:03.:21:07.

can't afford to be carrying 2530 professional footballers, so it

:21:07.:21:11.

will affect everybody. Do you buy into the fact it is good for the

:21:11.:21:15.

youth team player, they will get a chance instead of someone being

:21:15.:21:19.

brought in. I think the fact it is important that players can get out

:21:19.:21:23.

to other club, because reserve team football, it is not real football

:21:23.:21:29.

as good as it is. When the players go on loan it is an opportunity for

:21:29.:21:35.

them to learn... Football is five a side at this present time. No

:21:35.:21:39.

contact. It is going to help them under pressure. They need to win

:21:39.:21:44.

games, there is points at stake. See who wins the battle. FIFA no

:21:44.:21:47.

doubt. We with were looking at the possibility of Burnley and

:21:47.:21:51.

Blackpool scrapping for a play off place. With the Championship action

:21:51.:21:59.

here is Stewart. A week to forget for the Seasiders off the field

:21:59.:22:06.

awkward reports about the club's finance, now on it a drubbing at

:22:06.:22:13.

Peterborough. Matt Gilkes was the only one to escape criticism. Paul

:22:14.:22:17.

Taylor's drive before the break was the killer blow from which

:22:17.:22:22.

Blackpool never recovered. They pulled one back with ten minutes

:22:22.:22:29.

remains but any lingers hopes of a point were extinguished when Boyd

:22:29.:22:32.

point were extinguished when Boyd converted his soid's third.

:22:32.:22:38.

Burnley's play off push has faltered. This was their first

:22:38.:22:43.

point in 12. Rodriguez's spot kick was the perfect start but missed

:22:43.:22:49.

chances cost them deer and Palace snatched a penalty of their own.

:22:49.:22:52.

snatched a penalty of their own. Darren Ambrose converting. Burnley

:22:52.:22:58.

have slipped out of of the top half. The top half shows Blackpool

:22:58.:23:04.

sliding out of the play off places, the Clarets are nine points off the

:23:04.:23:09.

play-offs now. Michael, we must start off, first by offering

:23:09.:23:13.

commiserations to Eddie How whose mother died on Saturday before the

:23:13.:23:18.

game. That must have shocked the game. It was a huge shock. We were

:23:18.:23:24.

aware his mum wasn't very well. But, you know, none of the players found

:23:24.:23:28.

out until we came out into the dressing room. We found ot the news

:23:28.:23:33.

the Gaffer wasn't at the game. He was with his family. Our thoughts

:23:33.:23:40.

go out to him. That goes for the rest of us. Burnley, a season of

:23:40.:23:45.

two halves, one six, drawn six, that isn't good enough. What is

:23:45.:23:49.

happen something There has been a lots of changes in the past year,

:23:49.:23:52.

before we couldn't win, couldn't win away and always won at home so

:23:52.:23:56.

it is turned on its head. Think we have struggled when teams have come

:23:56.:23:59.

to our place and sat in a bit. We have had to break them down. Away

:23:59.:24:03.

from home we can play on the counter attack and it seems to suit

:24:03.:24:07.

the way we play. A lot has been said about Burnley being a team in

:24:11.:24:15.

:24:15.:24:19.

get into the play-offs. Whilst we still can, there, we have to fight

:24:19.:24:24.

tooth and nail to try and get into the top six, but, you know, like I

have failed to notch a win? Does it become frustrating? Is it the

:24:41.:24:44.

atmosphere? It just frustration, there have been a lot of games

:24:44.:24:49.

where we have played well enough to win. That is the frustrating thing.

:24:49.:24:52.

We haven't maybe taken opportunity whence they have come about.

:24:52.:24:56.

Sometimes when teams have sat in, we've not maybe created enough

:24:56.:25:01.

chances at times. You are one of the veterans at the club, if not

:25:01.:25:06.

the oldest. Are you helping the youngsters through it? I don't know

:25:06.:25:11.

whether I am educating, most of them are better than me I try and

:25:11.:25:16.

organise as much to help me as much to help anybody else. Thank you for
