How about four matches where each one you attend gets progressively cheaper? ie. first £25, second £20 third £15 fourth £10. Go to them all and you’ve averaged out at £17.50. Perhaps even make it any four matches rather than them having to be consecutive.

Were we? I don't remember hearing them once until they scored, and I remarked on how quiet they were for a reasonable sized following.

Former? Isn't he still here?

Yep, but is them Venkys or the auditor… ’interesting’ development either way.

Maybe Ismael could do a list of critical errors made by players this season. I imagine he’d need more than one sheet of paper.

I acknowledged that the referee made a mistake and it was frustrating. But we went into injury time with a lead anyway and again threw it away. It doesnt surprise me to see you parrot the manager and just brush our own repeated failings under the carpet. A culture of excuses. If you are watching De Neve coming on and are not seeing how out of his depth he looks then you are seemingly watching a different player than the majority.

The Owls will be playing for fun, as it is pretty certain that the season will end in relegation for their club, and not withstanding the payment (or not) of their wages going forward, they can afford to see themselves as very much either in the shop window or in the swansong of their journeys as professional footballers. Ceteris paribus Rovers should be capable of competing, especially if the energy levels of last night are repeated (over 90 plus minutes), but we haven't demonstrated much in terms of consistency in a positive sense this season, so perhaps it might be too much to expect us to put on a show. Feck it. Just go for it for the whole game lads. We will never criticise you for doing that...(but we mean THE WHOLE FECKING GAME!) Predictions? Nope. Speculation? Of course. Let's make them Owl all the way Ome to 'Illsborough - Rovers 3 Owls 0 Hoots mon and Haggis it's a foul feathered hangover - Rovers 1 Owls 2 That's tawny it, Chansiri's cast-off-cast-aways-cast cretinous chaos on the leafless trees of EWood Rovers 0 Wednesday 6 COYB!

You everytime ignored the impact of referee poor choices of decisions. What did he actually do wrong? Or not useful sub? Did we look poorer with him on the pitch? Not at all. Baradji downgraded? What did De Neve do during his cameo that was so awful?.

That's them acknowledging in a roundabout way promotion is a pipe dream and less likely than it ever even was before due to the downgrade in players.

Sunderland the better team at Anfield. Liverpool got lucky again.. Good job Cheisa chased all the way back otherwise its a defeat

I'd agree almost wholeheartedly with that. Personally Id add Miller to the list of players who are "Not Championship standard" and upgrade Alebiosu slightly to "very good". A pretty dismal return out of ten players. What's Owen's "data" written in - braille?

And then have key players out for the Sheff Wed game ? I assume he takes players off because he knows he has to keep them relatively fresh.

They got away with it to some extent with another lateish goal. 1-1. Isidor was clean through from the half way line in injury time but failed to convert the winner for Sunderland.

First 30 mins yesterday were the first times I saw him actually affect a game further than 5 yards out, but as the game went on he vanished again before popping up for the goal. I said it yesterday but our issue is we've got all the attributes of a top striker spread across two players - Yuki's work rate and boundless energy and Andri's ability to lose his man and finish (generally, he's missed some sitters too). If they could teach each other they would be deadly.

Ismael's just following the Venky Rovers playbook - blame anyone and anything other than ourselves. Already we've had referees, the weather, the drainage, previously we've had injuries, bad luck, the EFL, fans, parachute payments, FFP rules, covid, Eustace, nasty players, their agents, Tomasson, Broughton, administrative errors, plain hard luck. It is quite the list and it grows every season as a failing regime searches far and wide for reasons, other than their own decision making and ineptitude, why this club is a failing husk of an organisation. Obviously they can't blame the real source of pretty much all our ills - the vile group of people in India overseeing it all year in year out - nor will the lower down employees do anything that might lay blame at the door of the henchmen in the shadows doing whatever it is they are doing. Nor indeed the incompetents beneath them, promoted way beyond their capabilities or stations simply by virtue of being willing, compliant and cheap. So into the void they blame all the other things that we cannot control and which clueless supporters just love to point their fingers at and believe little old Rovers are doing their best in the big nasty world that is set up against us. I'm the first in the queue to blame refereeing competence, of which there is a catalogue, but I am not for one second having it that our pathetic home results, rapid decline down the table (play off to relegation contenders in mere months) are the fault of anyone bar those running this shambles.

Ah yes. Thanks. At normal speed I initially thought the defender had got something on the ball but on watching the replay, it was a pen and a mistake by the ref. That cost us a point then.

I was pissed off. Im sick of seeing our sub par team throw away points. You blamed it all on the referee and brushed over the tendency that this team and this thin group of players and poor manager have of conceding late. I didnt say that Baradji is a horrendous player. But hes not been a very useful sub, hopefully because (in December, predictably) hes still not fit. Yes, De Neve in particular was awful again, he shouldnt keep bringing him on, and Baradji and Tavares were downgrades too. Obviously Gueye who again he keeps bringing on is like De Neve playing a number of levels above his natural level.

Young Adam doing the business at the Dingle Dome

Agree with most of your post but there was a really clear foul in this one (I think on Cantwell but I can't remember for sure) who was taken out after pulling it back past the defender at the edge of the box. Guy next to me at work supports Swansea and said it was one of the worst decisions he'd seen in a while.

Tosin may have left Rovers a while ago but there's still a bit of us in him.

Liverpool currently losing 1-0 at home to Sunderland. Slot starting to push his luck a bit.

Plenty of empty seats at the Dingle Dome tonight..lets hope Newcastle make it 6 losses on the bounce come Saturday.All crying they want Parker out now. Down ya come inbreads!🤣

Looking at Vince's complaints in detail..... "No pen at WBA" - From memory the incident was extremely early in the game so a real stretch to say that was a pivotal turning point "Gudjohnsen at Watford" - We won, not sure what his point is "Charlton Handball/no pen" - We lost 3-0, not sure what his point is "Swansea no pen" - Don't recall anything particularly contentious "Preston No red card, no penalty on Gueye" - We won, so not sure what his point is on Gueye. Agree on the no red card, was a potential career ender. "Wrexham No foul on Hedges" - Virtually irrelevant either way, we should defend the resultant free kick Ipswich "Red Card/Penalty on Ohashi Most people agree Ohashi wasn't a pen. Imo possible red card but by no means clear cut. Either way the failure to win down yet again to our inability to defend. Nothing whatsoever to do with the officials. Overall a load of self serving twaddle from our so called "leader" trying to divert attention away from his own abysmal performance to date.

Burnley undone by one quality cross at home to Palace tonight. Unlike last time under Kompany, there looks a definite lack of quality throughout their team for coping with the Premier League. 5 defeats on the bounce. With Forest winning and Leeds currently winning, there’s now a 4 point gap to safety. Looking good. I mean, er, grim. 🙂

It’s that man again… MOTM template.mp4
