Here is what he had to say !
PRO-GK : Dale , you had a period in the middle part of this season where you was left out the team , how did you deal with this and do you think it has made you a better player ?
D.R : well obviously i was dissapointed and i didnt like the decision but i took it in the right way being professional and working hard as i knew that the strange game football is id get back in and when i did i had to take my chance. i also took it as abit of a kick up the back side to be fair and it made me even more determind to succeed. personally i think it has made me a stronger person on and off the field.
PRO-GK :You have been called up to the England C Squad on numerous occasion's now , but with fellow PRO-GK endorsee's Lance Cronin and Adam bartlett illegible , do you think you can go on and establish yourself as the chosen number 1 ?
D.R : i would like to think so only if my performances week in week out for rushden deserve a call up because im so proud to represent england c and be part of the squad. ive got 3 caps now and hope to earn more in the near future.
PRO-GK : Since regaining the number 1 shirt at Rushden , the team's results have vastly improved , most recently with you keeping 7 clean sheets in 8 games! That's a very impressive statistic, what do you put this down to ?
D.R : to be honest we have a team of very hard working players and a defence infront of me that have been outstanding since ive been back. personally i feel ive been more commanding in the sence of being more vocal which brings confidence and a belief that every game you play all you think about is a clean sheet and hope the strikers get a goal at the other end.
PRO-GK : Is there any advice you can give to any young goalkeepers out there wanting to make it in the professional game?
D.R : first thing i would say is to work hard and dont worry too much about making mistakes. another thing i would say is be patient as the hardest thing is getting a chance to play and once you do get that chance be confident and most of all enjoy it.
PRO-GK : What is a typical match day for DR in terms of preparation?
D.R : for a home game it would start by getting up around 9am to watch soccer am and make some cereal. then id have some beans on toast. about half 11 id make some pre match which would normally be chicken pasta and drink plenty of fluid. (not to mention i like my food) then about 12 il start getting ready for the game. half 1 we would meet at the ground. into the warm up i do exactly the same warm up every time i play. away games would be slighty different only because the distances of which we travel to them.
PRO-GK : How pairs of gloves would you normally take with you on match day ?
D.R : i normally always take 2. a brand new pair, and a pair that ive worn in previous games. i dont like to use a brand new pair in game straight away i always wear them on a friday morning in training to get used to them. the gloves i wear in a warm up are always the ones i wear in the game.
PRO-GK : What made you decide to wear PRO-GK ?
D.R : Well when i was at Notts forest a few of the other goalkeeper were talking about this new brand , one had tired them and he said they were decent so i decided to have a look on the website and get in touch with them. They sent me out a pair ive never looked back.I absolutely love them
PRO-GK : If you could sum up your gloves in 5 words what would they be ?

Argyle head coach Paul Mariner confirmed that Stockdale, who has played six matches in his first month's loan, would be staying with the Pilgrims.
"He is returning for another month," said Paul. "We're trying to get it [for longer] but we're happy with what [Fulham manager] Roy Hodgson and his staff have asked."
Paul highlightred three key contributions from his young custodian in the midweek draw.
"He made three saves," he said. "Two early on in the first-half with his feet and the one with his hand late on was a great save.
"My viewpoint is that he's improved the team. He helps the unit and he helps the back four, so we're delighted that he's joined us."

PRO-GK : Carly , your quite a experienced goalkeeper for someone of your age , With all your International experience with England at various age groups , going to the FIFA Women's world cup with the National team , your debut against Scotland and not to forget your Player of match performance in the Women's F.A Cup Final a few years ago , what would you say is the highlight of your career so far ?
C.T : Well its hard to pick out of the above... Aswell as first ever playing for england for the u17's v France, playing in the u19 Euros!! Hmm probabyl my senior debut for England v Scotland I played well so it was a good experiance! Altho FA cup was close if we hadn't of been beatin it wud have been a perfect day but I can't say the best day was losing an FA cup final :)
PRO-GK : You recently was awarded a central contract by the F.A , how has this helped your progression ?
C.T : I think its a great step forward for me and all the other players on one. I can personally now see and feel the effects of training full-time which I've never had before as trying to accomodate both work travelin to leeds and england trainin was hard to all fit in!
PRO-GK : The female game in the UK is growing all the time , where do you see it in 5 years time?
C.T : Well the superleague is starting in 2011 which again is a big step forward for the womens game and is an important one if we are to keep up with other nations such as USA who have the pro league! The superlegue is allowing more money to be pumped into clubs so facilities, pay, staff and teams can get better and stronger. ESPN has also bought into the legue so television will again hoepfully promote the game! So maybe we can be proffesional female footballers in the next 5yrs!
PRO-GK : Is there any advice you can give to any young female goalkeepers out there wanting to become the next Carly Telford?
C.T : To always have fun, that's most important! Listen to your coaches and family they can help you make descions and push you when the time is needed. Just make sure you work hard and take any oppurtunitys that you get as you never know what doors they may open!
PRO-GK : What is a typical match day for CT in terms of preperation?
C.T : Well I've forgotton its been that long since we have played.. :) we have only played twice in 14 weeks!! But as we play arsenal tommorow I can let you in with what I will be doing... As its away we travel the day before on the bus.. Nutrition and hydration r most important in prep for tommorow so sipping juice and eating well are most important on this 5hr journey! Then a good meal tonight and a early night will help, then up tomorow for good breaky, probably a team meeting then bak on the bus.. The ipod goes in and the fluid intake continues, then at grounf hava walk on pitch see area, then time to get changed and go WIN!! :)
PRO-GK : How pairs of gloves would you normally take with you on match day ?
C.T : Probably 2-3 especially with how pitches are and weather.. Having a dry spare pair helps a lot on a wet wintery day!
PRO-GK : What made you decide to wear PRO-GK ?
C.T : Well when I was sent a pair to try I kept an open mind.. I knew what I liked in a glove and it was like a perfect match I loved them.. Not only the design on the glove.. But the fit, shape, grip and duration the glove last was especially something I liked! I hate havin to get rid of a pair of gloves I like just because the foam is falling out the fingertips after a couple of games! With PRO-GK they last a hell of a lot longer and the performance of the glove never let's me down!
PRO-GK : If you could sum up your gloves in 5 words what would they be ?
C.T : Fantasic, Durable, Flexible, The Best
Or Definitly One Of A Kind!
You can choose :) ha.
Carly will be looking to continue the fantastic few season's she has had with Leeds this Thursday (11th) when they meet Everton ladies in the F.A Premier league Final at Spotland , the home of Rochdale. Kick off

Stockdale joined the Whites from Darlington in 2008 and made his Premier League debut this season in Fulham’s victory over Everton at Craven Cottage.
Speaking from the Club’s Motspur Park training ground today, Stockdale was clearly delighted to have put pen to paper.
“It means the world to me really,” he said. “It was great to be here in the first place and I’m settled here and have had the opportunity to show what I can do. Thankfully the Club has rewarded me.
“The keepers here are great to learn from and there’s a wonderful rapport, if I can do half of what Schwarzer and Zuberbuhler have done in their careers, it would be a great career to look back on. I’m working with the best here at Fulham and it was nice to get an opportunity in the Premier League against Everton earlier this season.”
Stockdale's choice of glove is the PRO-GK Revolution Aqua Roll Finger which is now available at great-save.com

A interview with Chris can be seen below (with thanks to dafc.co.uk)
Following his on-loan signing Chris Smith was delighted to return to competitive football in Dunfermline's game at Dumfries on Tuesday night. Apart for a closed doors game against Falkirk three weeks ago the St Mirren player has been out for over eight months with a knee ligament injury. Before boarding the team coach outside Palmerston, the keeper had a few words for the website:-
"It was good although I have just spoken to the Manager and said that I am very very rusty. It was good to get a game since that's just my second game in eight months, hopefully there is better to come because I wasn't happy with it. I wasn't happy with how I did in the first hour to 70 minutes. I just need to get that match experience back again. Hopefully I can pick it up again for Saturday.
"The boys in front of me were outstanding - the defenders were brilliant, everybody played their part and did really well. It was a great result on a very heavy park that didn't give much of a chance to play football. I am delighted with a 2-1 win down here."
He made his debut in First Division football with the Buddies but that was only two end of season games against Ross County and St Johnstone in 2005. Nevertheless he was well aware of the tightness of that division and the enormity of his task against the league leaders. The slippery ball in horrid first half conditions did not make for a comfortable baptism for the new keeper but he played that down:-
"I had a couple of saves but they were just straight forward. I am looking forward to playing as many games for Dunfermline just now for the short space of time that I am here. Hopefully I can do well and help them push up the table."
The 23 year-old keeper's last match for St Mirren was in March when he was part of the successful cup win over Celtic. He will be at East End Park until mid January and added:-
"The Manager has brought me in and hopefully I can repay him by putting in some good performances."
Chris certainly gave his all on his Pars debut but there were fears when he required treatment in added time. A collision with Queens striker, Derek Holmes meant that he sustained a cut to his right ear:-
"That's part and parcel, I'll take that any day of the week as long as we get a win. I have played with wee Burkie and know a lot of them from playing against them at youth level. They are a good bunch of lads and hopefully I will do well."
After 80 appearances for Dunfermline, Paul Gallacher moved to St Mirren in the summer and the on loan keeper says that the former Pars keeper has made a massive influence on Chris' development since his arrival there in the summer.
"Gall is a great guy. I think the Manager spoke to him before bringing me here and Gall said some nice things. He is a real professional and will do well for St Mirren. He has been by far the best performer this season and I am sure that he can go further."
Despite making nearly 100 appearances for the Paisley club, the competition for the Saints goalkeeper's shirt will not be easy for Chris given Paul Gallacher's success in the SPL with Gus MacPherson's team; success that saw him called up into the international squad after an absence of over over five years.
"I have been ready to go and play games for about the last two months but trying to get games organised is not easy when there is no reserve league in the SPL."]]>http://www.pro-gk.com/news/index.php?entry=entry091204-1115312009-12-04T00:00:00Z2009-12-04T00:00:00ZDALE ROBERTS INTERVIEWDale you were given your opportunity during midweek, getting your chance back in the team.
Yeah that's the thing, obviously I've been working hard, its been disappointing not playing, watching it from the sides, but I feel as though I've come back stronger, I just want to keep my place in the team and will be working hard to do that.
It must be a little bit strange going away with England C when you didn't have a place in the club side at the time.
Yeah, a little bit frustrating, but I knew all I had to do was concentrate on working hard and doing the right things and just getting on with it and its paid off.
I just know myself I've got to take every opportunity that comes and grasp it with both hands. I'm still a young lad and I'm still learning but it's a learning curve, and I feel like I've come back stronger.
Fair play to Nathan as well, me and him work hard together and I've learnt quite a lot from him.
It's a strange situation for a goalkeeper isn't it, compared to outfield players, because there's only the one place, and its not like you can come on to have 20 minutes at the end really.
Yeah that's the thing, its harder for a goalkeeper, when you make mistakes you get looked at, but that's the only way you get your chance, obviously if another goalkeeper makes a mistake or gets injured, but you've just got to sit tight and work hard.
Is there a good bond between the goalkeepers here?
Yeah, we work hard in training, there's a bit of banter between the goalkeepers union, so we all stick together.
Did Nathan say anything to you about gaining your place back on Tuesday?
Nathan wished me luck, which was excellent from him, because he's a nice lad. He just encouraged me to go out there and show everyone what I can do, he's got full confidence in my ability, which is a pleasing thing.
Presumably you have as well?
Yeah that's the thing, no-one had to say a lot to me on Tuesday night, I just wanted to go out and grasp the chance and hopefully I've done that.
It was only a couple of weeks ago there was talk of you possibly going out on loan?
I had quick chat with the Manager about it, but that's it really. Its hard as a goalkeeper if you are not playing, you just need to get your eye in and confidence up.
Once you are in you've got to stay in, and we'll just see how it goes from here.]]>http://www.pro-gk.com/news/index.php?entry=entry091203-2133072009-12-03T00:00:00Z2009-12-03T00:00:00ZBIG F.A CUP WEEKEND FOR ENDORSEE'S !
