So Jon Snow...! (spoilers)
...was trained by Rodrick! It would've flew past my head otherwise but I started watching GoT again from the first episode right after finishing "Iron from Ice". When Jon gets to the Wall, the part where Tyrion intervenes when he gets jumped. He mentions that not everyone there is as lucky as Jon, he being trained by Sir Roderick and all. I remember the first time I watched the series I had no idea who he was talking about of course. But now we know why Jon is such a fierce fighter since now we know who Roderick was.

Haha, sorry man, they mean Roderick Cassel--a different person all together. He's a man-of-arms for the Starks from House Cassel, a minor house that live near Winterfell.
He's actually talking about Rodrik Cassel who was on the show, not from the game.
The castellan of winterfell was named sir Rodrick. You know the guy with the white hair who got beheaded by Theon Greyjoy in the second season
.. he still knows nothing, dont worry, no spoilers.
The Forresters are going to get mentioned more in ''The Winds of Winter'' though.
So we have spoilers they're going to fight for Stannis.
Ahh I see, wrong Roderick then! I should've known as Rodrick Forrester would've just been known as sir Forrester.
I'm a little disappointed they don't go whole hog with this game.
Explain away the similarities between the Foresters and the Starks as them being kinsmen to the family like the Karstarks.
8,000 years is a LONG time to leave descendants.
What is Jon actually doing during season 4 anyway? I forget I seem to remember him sort of just pledging his innocence etc. Before the battle i mean
He was admitting to breaking his vows and fighting some mutineers at Craster's Keep.
The Master at Arms of House Forrester is named Royland Degore, if that's what you mean
Not Rodrik Cassel
Also don't forget, unlike most works of fiction, to keep it simple for the reader/ watcher/ player, no two characters have the same or similar names, but it's another trope ASOIAF breaks constantly. Bran, Ned, Robert, Jon, and even Daenarys are all named after other people from the history of that world.
