Haha, both me, my girlfriend, sister and brother in law did the same for my folks, so you’ll be fine!

Another FA Cup game here from 1950’s, this time away at Cardiff with Rovers taking 4000 fans. I was surprised to read 5 aeroplanes carrying 200 supporters each taking fans too! You don’t associate away travel with planes back in the day, or I don’t.

Hasn’t stood out of did anything of note in league one which likely is the reason why

not til 2027

That original post would be ideal for the LT if they had the cajones to print it - which they won't.

Yeah Surprised a championship club hasn't taken him at that price, he was out of contract at the end of the season I think

The original post must be the most liked post on here ever, or very close to it. Can the mods print that and all the comments off and send it recorded to Pasha Gestede and Ismael and ask them to comment on it in the local media. I know they won’t, but let’s do this and get the story out, as it is all heartfelt and it would be a shame to waste it.

Elite compared to now.

I’d persuaded some of my school team mates to come along on the strength of the 7-2 thrashing of Spurs and the thought of seeing Stanley Mathews. We’d played that morning so we’d be there in our school uniforms, probably minus school ties though. Young people today don’t realise that the modern fashion for casual and sporting clothes hadn’t been invented at that time. Nobody there would be wearing a replica shirt. Same goes for club branded clothing. It hadn’t been thought of. I was one of the first lads in Rochdale to get a pair of training shoes in about 1966. . They were a blue “ Adidas “ pair. One summer night we’d been training and after we’d got changed I kept the trainers on. We decided to go to the nearest pub for a shandy. When I walked in the pub everybody looked at me like I had two heads. That’s how things were then !

Good on you. Needs more to have the guts to make this stance. I did the same about three years ago. We need these scabs out of our club

Not in the least bit sad to see gueye go, I thought he looked like a footballer on his debut right up to the point he tried to strike the ball, he couldn’t shoot. Got the odd goal with his head but he wasn’t particularly good with that either

that is so depressing, could have been competition for both wing back spots, and also on the wing should we switch back to a 4 man defence seems a very good price too

Bali mumba signing for Huddersfield for £1 million

The sales of Jones, Kalinic and Samba brought in enough to cover V;s purchase price plus the inherited overdraft. I'd love to know where all that money went seeing as we still had Prem income then to run the club and previous losses were i think sub 10 million.

Beamo

I'd be all over max Dean. He's 21 scored goals in the champions league/europa league. Has a decent strike rate. Shame we've no chance of getting him

Oh for the halcyon days of Corrado Grabbi.

Well, we've no substantive transfer links to talk about so might as well carry it on. Fun fact: Gueye scored the same number of goals last season as Luke Varney did between 2014 -18. (Six) Reg Varney would have been better. "Get that bus out Butler".

Exactly Tim! Pointless argument. I'll say this though, that Gueye was no Paul McKinnon.

Agreed. There will be coaches out there that could come in and do a better job than Ismael. The question is whether Rovers are capable of appointing one... 😅

Read he did his ACL in December 2024...missed the remainder of last season as a result, so has probably been set back in his development since.

Had a cruciate ligament injury in Jan 2025, missed nearly a year of football.

I posted about Max Dean as an overseas English option playing in Belgium a few weeks ago, didn't necessarily want us to actually go after him. Probably where to rumour came from tbh, I'm deffo not an itk, just a Football Manager player lol. Young so should develop; good last year, but poor this year; English but plays in Rudy's favourite league.

Exactly. " But who would come in?" " But who would buy us?" etc.....

Pretty sure this guy posts nothing but total bollox.
