Owen Dale

[Poolman]

Just to say I am so chuffed after his horrendous week that he got a goal today

 

[Long-shanks]

Class. Knew something had occurred but didnt know what. Personally, I couldn't of done what he has done in both games but totally understand his desire to put his focus into his work. Superb attitude and he has been one of the stand out performers these last couple of weeks. All the best Owen

In a weird way, it could be that through these awful events, Dale actually truly becomes a Blackpool player. Everyone is fully behind the lad and hopefully he'll get comfort and strength from that.

Deepest sympathies to him and his wife and a massive well done for just being able to turn up and play.

 

[Lala]

Ye, echo all the above. Well done to the lad and hope he and his wife are coping.

Nothing but praise and admiration for Owen today particularly in the light of his personal life tragedy.
He's a confidence player and today will boost him enormously.
Give him a run in the team now .... please !!

 

[JohnnnyQuidd]

Since he's been given his opportunity, he's been superb. I wrote him off for tracking back and battling and I was so wrong!

 

[Critchknows]

I think he's been really good ever since he started in the lwb position. Today he was very good again and add to that what he's been going through it was a fantastic performance from him. Nothing but praise for him and has made that position his own.

 

[Micky Walsh]

The lad tracked back very well, cut in got his goal, well done!

 

[AngelBFC]

Wow .

Bearing in mind what he’s been through fantastic performance .

Brilliant guy .

 

[585 = never give up]

This week Owen has demonstrated an heroic attitude. I could not have done what he has managed to do.
There are no words that can suitably describe his commitment to our shirt, his teammates and our club.
As a Warrington family, from where Owen originates and still resides, our thoughts are with him, Jess & their loved ones.

Dales a much better player this season, loaning him to Pompey worked as it should with loans, glad to see him score today

 

[BFCSouthStand]

And further to my earlier post it should be remembered that Dale is still only 24 believe it or not.

 

[JJpool]

Great moment.

Happy for him.

 

[HighfieldSeasider]

Really pleased for him, he's done well playing wing-back considering it isn't his position.

I was right Infront of where he celebrated the goal today and you could see the emotion on his face. I loved Norburn's role as captain in the celebration as well, he got the players around him and he spoke to him in the middle of the group, when Dale walked away he looked emotional.

Every credit to Owen, took huge balls to play after what him and his family have been through and credit to our captain as well

 

[fcblackpool]

Hopefully after what's been a hectic and awful 10 days or so, he can take a few days away from football with his family and try to make sense of it all.

Thoughts are with him and his family.

 

[Matesrates]

Massive performance after what happened, can’t praise him enough. Carry on like this and he’ll be hard to drop.

 

[BillyRonsonNo7]

Just to say I am so chuffed after his horrendous week that he got a goal today

Starting to show his ability after a few starts

 

[TotallyTangerine]

Always had faith in him ( as borne out by previous posts) after watching a compilation of his goals prior to him signing for us…so pleased for him today, although it’s bittersweet….

 

[BfcRob27]

Clearly committed to the team to keep playing after what he has been through, dont think anybody would of complained if he wanted time away to be with his family but he has stood up and then played his best game in a pool shirt

 

[pooljimbo]

The celebration was ace. The way all the players got around him choked me up a bit.

 

[thecatintheroof]

Well said @Poolman - and agree @pooljimbo .. was 'a moment''.

 

[SydneyTangerine]

I was very wrong ! What a shift today ...and recently. Good job I'm not a manager. Showed me up real good last few games. And with all those issues too. Xxx

 

[Macseasider]

He's my new favourite player.

 

[SouthernSeasider]

Delighted for him. Shining this season also. Well deserved

 

[1953forever]

For me great he got his goal but his tackling back and awareness of danger down the flanks aswell as the forward contribution was a man if the match performance..... Closely followed by king kenny.

 

[TangerineBayern]

Both Dale and Casey out on loan last season have come back much better players!

 

[TangerineDan]

Yes i’m delighted that Owen Dale got that goal today after an awful time for his family.

 

[FY16JJ]

Echo all of the above - him and Casey have been my two revelations of this season
