We generally look better away from home and honestly I think if the home crowd are loud it will actually help rather than hinder. This is a must-not-lose, and I think we will do that - just. Pompey 1-1 Rovers

I would say winning games, trophies and achieving things is the main reward. Money is great but most PL or championship managers/head coach arent poor. We arent going to agree on Edwards to move to Wolves. I understand his reasons after listening to his interview when he got the job but I still think Boro was a better bet to be in PL in the league. That's Wolves squad is bloody awful and summer recruitment was a disastrous for them. Taking the Wolves job was guaranteed relegation on his CV this season and his focus will be on next session and beyond. You wont agree on all that, @roversfan99so can agree to disagree and move on.

The only goal should be to remove them. I wouldn't care if they did give assurances about the club's future, because I don't trust them.

I'm a fan of that; to the point and with purpose. Though it's hard to see them doing anything other than ignoring it. On the general point / club video though, why are they making an issue out of a non-issue? It makes it sound like players/staff have been personally abused. All that has ever happened has been criticism of performance, as absolutely should happen. Can anyone, anywhere, point to an incident where anyone at the club has been unfairly targeted or abused?

This weekends games for our loanees, 3pm Saturday kick offs O'Riordan - score/update Barrett - score/update Olson & O'Grady-Macken - score/update Edmondson - score/update Wood - score/update Farkas - score/update

Rovers win 2+1 with (ironically) a 97th minute winner from Harvey Higgins Rovers other scorer Joseph, who caused the Saints defence plenty of problems with his powerful running and physicality. Other mentions to Frank Vare , but to me even though he only came on for the last 15 mins or so, Higgins really impressed against a tiring defence who were down to 10 men for the last 25 mins or so. Apart from his goal Higgins could easily have notched another couple. Another big lad but better technically than Joseph I would say on this showing

Focus gents, focus. 🏳

I knew you loved to deflect from the owners but I didnt realise your views are so ludicriously extreme. You will struggle to explain what was going on and why we was so shoddily run and why we was downsizing continiously for over 7 years prior to his appointment.

Do football managers do their jobs purely for enjoyment? Or is money not the main reward?

I think this was debunked as false at the time.

It's that someone makes it up and 3 pages later it's being discussed as if it's fact.

It was the timing of the release I didn't particularly appreciate.

Well tbh its what you expect at a world cup to have to play at least 3 top teams. England have been very fortunate in recent tournament draws. Great opportunity to improve our appalling record at major tournaments against the top 10 or so sides. Think if you go back 30 years we've managed to beat those sides 5 times (Spain & Netherlands in 96, Germany 2000, Germany in 2021, Netherlands in 2024) In that time we have managed to lose to the top sides 10 times (Germany x2, Argentina, Brazil, Italyx2, Spain, Portugal x3)

Not sure on this one. I think we'll certainly miss Hedges.

At some point surely there will be a movement to leave FIFA. Its ludicrously corrupt.

If we had a 20k shoe box we'd have a way better atmosphere even now with it half full.

I've added to my orginal post. I was trying (badly I think) to show that this site has been going for over 25 years or so (and more in different incarnation) and so the stuff from Snyder above is pathetic.

Tyjon will be a 10, Sergeant & McCoy wide, Joseph up top Vare and Ball should be a good base in midfield too

Joseph Tyjon and Sergeant up front could be a potent goal mix. Each has different skills and physiques that could be a good blend on the night.

Just not going to happen. I do agree on a boycott though, and it should be the rearranged Sheffield Wednesday game.

He's got a million times more of a chance of promotion next season with Wolves than he would ever have with Boro.

So like, Pape can't hit an open goal from 18 yards out. Not surprised. I'm sure Cantwell actually says "I'll give you £100, if he gets this" to the Skysports presenter, which suggests he doesn't rate Pape much either. Oh, and Pears dropped the ball 🤦‍♂️
