[Archived] Pre-season

[Heinz]

Do you actually know if Vieri or Van Heerden are on the bench?

So far not even a cameo for Vieri, which I find odd.

[Balwer]

Great cross from Olsson, Benni unmarked, and slips....

We're dominating this half.

[philipl]

Their keeper saved them again then Benni fell over.

[DeadlyDirk]

Fantastic burst down the left from Olsson, great ball in towards Benni, shame Benni fell over

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Benni slips on a McFlurry when it should be 3-2.

[Balwer]

Judge and Doran are looking great, which is which though.

Judge had the curly hair yes?

[Tom]

Pedersen is tantastic

Some tasty challenges going in

[Pinch]

Benni slips on a McFlurry when it should be 3-2.

[JonnyH]

Bunch of kickers these Italians

[saviola]

i reckon emerton looks a better right back than jacobsen

[Ricky]

Is this supposed to be a friendly lol

[Balwer]

No offence to the rest of the teams we play, but the preseason won't get more intense or skillful than it is right now.

[Iceman]

Is this supposed to be a friendly lol

Whats that Ricky? Lol

[hollowsr]

Judge and Doran are looking great, which is which though.

Judge had the curly hair yes?

Nope that's Doran (shirt 17), Judge is the other smaller kid in midfield (shirt 18 maybe??)

[Tom]

Looks like we may not get our Vieri sighting

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Looks like we may not get our Vieri sighting

We can go whale-watching another time.

Based on a crap pitch and one friendly !!! Give me A break!!

[Iceman]

134 members reading this thread! Quiet night for Nicko for now at least. Lol

[Balwer]

Nope that's Doran (shirt 17), Judge is the other smaller kid in midfield (shirt 18 maybe??)

Thanks hollowsr, yes Judge would be 18 then and Dunn 15, Treacy 16.

Doran looking very good.

[champions1995]

True. Although didn't we draw against Benfica last Summer (then win on penalties) and then go and lose 4-2 versus Wolves?

I think we won 3-2 against Benfica.

[Anti-Dingle-Brigade]

Jason Brown just ran off and started playing as a winger again there.

[Balwer]

My old man just texted me saying he heard reports Vieri had gone AWOL. Any truth in that?

What reports? Is he based over there?

Where's Nicko when you need him. Probably waiting for us all to go back to his thread after the game....

[Tom]

Great effort by Benni there

[Hughesy]

Lovely attempt by Benni - unlucky

[jonv]

To Be Honest,

This has been the most exciting Rovers match I have seen for the past year.

Not 1 long ball.. free flowing football I like it.

yes I know it's a friendly
