All Activity

Apologies, it was my birthday yesterday and I was bought more drinks than I expected 🙄 Forget Mowbray, he's history.

Read he was going Preston

Plants on LET and social media and some would say here -I couldn't possibly comment. 🙂

Dire Straits - Walk of Love

Only Rovers Pasha & Rudy could mess up a weekend as badly as this. Club's PR department (haha, do we have one?) is a shambolic mess. Recruitment appears to be being done on a whimsical fag packet. Pasha's tantrums, if OssyDave is to be believed (and I'm inclined to do so) are verging on the pathetic - does the bloke actually have a remit to piss people off (I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was being paid to twist the sodding knife). I guess it is a case of 'more fool me' for beginning to think there might actually be a plan and a potential silver lining in the offing, with the mooted approaches for Gudjonsen etc, and the apparently shrewd bit of business to offload Harry Leonard.. but nah. I do keep forgetting we are a basket case, not a sodding football club. PASHA 'I CAN THROW MY TOYS OUT OF THE PRAM IF I WANT' - OUT!! VENKYS OUT! Tools. The lot of ye.

Anyone know much about Davis Keillor-Dunn? Barnsley. Think we have gone for the scatter gun approach to a striker and seeing what sticks.

U21s Premier League Cup Draw https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2025/august/29/under-21s-learn-cup-opponents/ Coventry City (A) Wednesday September 10th York Co-op Community Stadium Kick-off 7pm Leyton Orient (H) Wednesday October 8th Lancashire FA County Ground Kick-off 7pm Leyton Orient (A) Wednesday November 5th BetWright Stadium Kick-off 7pm Watford (A) Friday November 21st The Orbital Fasteners Stadium Kick-off 7pm Coventry City (H) Friday November 28th Ewood Park Kick-off 7pm Watford (H) Wednesday December 17th Lancashire FA County Ground Kick-off 7pm

Totally guessing and tongue in cheek but... Pasha not liking comparisons to Putin (ie cross me and you're out)- so contrary, make it hard to lose Leonard? I know, realms of conspiracy which is definitely not my style but hey, transfer stuff is thrown out here willy nilly 😉 Edit But no, it's just the cash, isn't it? 🙂

You are spot on including the exit message

He had our pants down for Szmodics, and that was with Broughton in charge. I shudder to think what Pasha's playing at.

As a pedant, I recall that Darling went to Norwich a while before Furphy arrived. From memory, we swapped him for Bryan Conlon. He was certainly in the team that went down to Division 3.

Can't argue with that. Everyone got a crib sheet for the names and positions? 😉 Don't rely on the scoreboard. 😉

Yep, he played for both at U17 and I think also U16 level too

Tomorrow should be a good marker of where we are at after a set of good performances but only one win. looking forward to it and the sense of mystery still about all the new signings. Fingers crossed for 3 points and a performance to match!

Don't think it means anything until it's a senior cap. See Grealish and Rice.

I hope they task the double agent with leading the mole hunt like the FBI used to do.

He is spot on, so he knows from someone.

How does Tyjon play for England and Poland at the same time, does he have a twin?

Thanks mate. Lots now know so he should get a nice send off. Im in Spain so will be watching on Rovers TV as usual and will applaud from there.

I don't think he does get that much ire though. He probably got more in the early 2000s in fairness, but I think most fans always recognised he was doing his best. Doesn't alter the fact that it was a catastrophe of a transfer. Huge money and a big contributing factor to getting relegated. Agree that there are lots of examples where we've had players where the shoe has been on the other foot. Danny Graham at Sunderland is one that comes to mind.

Watching the managers interview - I’d agree with you!

'Big Mac' a colossus and maybe the best £20k Rovers have ever spent. Hard as nails and Fergie revealed in his autobiography Mac threatened to kill him during one game and he was loitering with intent outside the dressing room post match waiting for Fergie! As you say, so influential in dragging Rovers back from the precipice and I recall he weighed in with his fair share of goals for a ch - think he got into double figures with Rovers. Sadly, he succumbed to Alzheimer's and Parkinson's passing away last year in his 80's.

In the same season as £7.5 mil (including future international, Rovers fan James Beattie) for Kevin Davies!

I never get the ire directed at him. Flopped here, true but did good elsewhere. It happens a lot - both ways. Ie we get someone who we think is uselesss, they go on somewhere and do well. And vice versa. All about timing, luck, surrounding players and all sorts of other factors. One that sticks in my mind is Franny Jeffers -not necessarily his time here but he looked cracking at Everton and then went to Arsenal? and flopped. Stars wax and wane. And also, your shelf life can be short. A striker can be the dogs for a bit and then there is another one off the rank. edit I guess it was the price tag for Davies and he didn't do much (but not entirely his fault).
