I'll watch it tonight as I've watched every England game these euros but it will never replicate the feeling of excitement last year when we beat the Dutch in the semis

If you like cider. Try old rosy. Really good taste and doesn't have the cider taste which leaves you with heartburn

Yeah, the fact that we are (seen as) a club without ambitions is only the fault of Venky's and their "advisors". Of all the people that have been involved in Rovers that need to fuck off, they should be first in line.

Then chaddy would say I'd rather have Sam Gallagher anyway

I think you're completely wrong on this. 100% of the blame attaches to Venky's and our management. 0% to Eustace and Derby or any other Club. That's even before taking into account that Eustace tried to get assurances on these players contract situations in January or February. If Eustace had got his way then, at the very least, even if he'd left, Clubs would be having to pay a small fortune to land these players now.

I read It a while ago. My mistake

There didn't appear to be any safe standing at either end on Saturday.

It's not necessarily blame, put it this way... You've got a fit missus who you love (Rovers) and an old best mate that fucks you off (Eustace) then starts tapping her up saying "I've got more money, more ambition" etc... What you gonna do? Say... "Oh well, can't blame him" Or are you going to call him every name under the sun? He can fuck off.

Not sure how anyone can blame Eustace. The issue he will have, is making sure he only picks up the winners, and not the Rovers rubber dinghy boys. Can you bet on Derby to finish exactly 7th anywhere? 😁

Yep, Hirst (having looked useless for 6 months) looked ok in those, & scored, then we sent im back to Leicester a week or 2 later and brought in O'Brien 😉

Seems likely Brittain is going to one or the other. We have a valuation on him seemingly and dont appear to be making any particular effort to persuade him to stay. Was always on the cards when that other RB rocked up.

Marc Leonard at Birmingham is being linked with moves including to Huddersfield.

Our Leonard?

Im sure that the idiots will replicate bringing lots of inflatable snakes to the Derby game. But when a player actively wants to go to either of 2 teams who arent blessed with big money and both finished below us, it tells you a lot. They seemingly seemed keen to make out as if Brittain was spitting his dummy out but he seems to have constantly trained and seemed very professional against Everton. Will be such a huge loss as I cant think of a better right back in the league. When we had him and Beck, our full backs were up there with anything in the division.

I think you need to read it more closely - he specifically mentions that it is only the fact that he was wearing a helmet that means he is still alive today. This myth that he wasn't wearing a helmet keeps on surfacing on here despite the fact that there are numerous interviews and even a whole f-ing book where he states clearly that he absolutely never refused to wear a helmet - in fact, he says his girlfriend had lost hers whilst they were out and he offered her his, but she refused as he was the one driving. "I said "do you want my helmet?" and took it off and handed it to Lucy. She said: "No, no. You are driving; you had better keep it on." Fortunately I did." - https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49581670

Why do we need a CB who can play LB?

Sorry, I meant signing a CB who can play LB in the interim until Jones is back fit. We need a CB anyway.

Unfortunately no one will take them off our hands. Not even Derby.

Actually sounds about right for someone we'd actually pay money for...

We played two friendlies in Marbella during the world cup break in December 2022 against Ajax and Hearts.

Normally try to stay professional on the forum but Brittain to Derby is a fucking joke, set of cunts...

And they bought him for £3m last January and won't be short of cash themselves.

There's high fees, reasonable fees, low fees and Rovers fees---in that order!

Where are we up to with safe standing? Were the Everton fans stood in a section on Saturday, as Bradford fans have a "safe Standing' option for this.
