[Archived] League Cup - Gillingham Away 25/08/09

[joey_big_nose]

If it's a draw after 90 minutes would there be a 2nd leg or straight to extra time?

Straight to extra time.

[rover6]

I've a feeling that Gills star striker Simeon Jackson will score. But we should still win. I'm going 2-1.

Edit: WOnder if there'll be much interest from Canada in this match seeing as the future of Canadian football, Jackson and Hoilett, could both play.

No? Thought not.

[Hughesy]

4-1 Rovers

[roversfan1]

What are the chances of us starting with a midfield of?

Emerton Reid Grella Dunn

On a serious note, I hope all 4 play some part of the game.

Rovers to win 3-1

and Roberts to score a hat trick...well you started it

[dopper69]

Hopefully we will get the rub of the green. We're certainly due it!

4-1 Rovers

Pedersen

Kalinic

Roberts x 2

So who is heading to the Livingstone Arms prior to kick off?

[Fife Rover]

Which victoria station is that from? I fancy the game, but dont fancy the 4 hour drive each way

I think the clue is in the 54 minute journey time from Victoria to Gillingham. I doubt that even the new fast trains from Manchester are that fast.

So who is heading to the Livingstone Arms prior to kick off?

i shall be :-)

does everyone know where it is? it is literally a minute from the ground, also i have been told that they will be closing the walkthrough (similar to hull) so the away end may only be accessible by one road.

This has not been confirmed yet though. I Will let you know if i am told!

Maybe it's just me misunderstanding things, but I think the game is live on the bbc website. Anyone know if this is correct?

Unfortunately you are misunderstanding - it'll just be live text commentary on BBC Sport.

Nafe - how far is the Livingstone Arms from the train station, and in what direction?

come out of the main entrance and hang a left and you will be able to see the top of the ground, walk to the end of the next road and hang a right and it is just up the road, cant miss it.

or look on here

Depending on what time I arrive, I may have a cheeky pint prior to the match.

[jonv]

Does anyone know of any TV coverage for the game? I have a jet on standby that can fly me anywhere in the world to watch there local sports network, just as soon as I make the call...

[Oklahoma]

We will win 2-0.

I would use this starting 11:

Brown

Jacobsen

Zurab

Givet

Ollsen

Diouf

Grella

Dunn

Van Heerden

Kalinic

Hoillet.

Reid, Emerton could be used to replace Dunn and Grella.

[Veevs]

Robinson

Lars - Zurub - Givet - Olsson

Emerton - NZonzi -Dunn- Elrio

Peders

Kalinic

Bench:

Brown

diouf

Jnr

Roberts

Grella

Gunning

Andrews

EDIT: Just noticed he isnt in the squad lol..

[Hughesy]

Where is the squad list?

[sambo]

I'd start with

Robinson

Jacobson Zurab Givet Olsson

Emerton Grella Dunn Pedersen

Kalinic Hoilett

I'd have players like Andrews, N'Zonzi and Van Heerden on the bench to cover for our injury plauged midfielders, with one or two 'big hitters' on the bench incase things aren't going too rosy. Pedersen and Kalinic should play to boost their confidence - a goal would do wonders for both of these players, especially Kalinic. Hoilett could get some much needed experience playing, and we will be able to have a better look at him. A lot depends on how fit Emerton, Grella and Dunn are - doubt all can last 90 minutes, and we can never be 100% sure if all three will start.

Sorry Ricky, I know you have to do your moderating bit etc. But why not just encourage people to join the Rovers player on the Rovers offical site - I know it is only commentry but better than nothing.

[Ricky]

Pafell, that's absolutely fine. More than happy for that to be suggested. I think we bob now that's what people aren't askig for though.

Any legal radio feeds can be discussed on here.

Yes, I am aware we both know what people are asking for. Yet often there are posts on match days for people asking for commentry on games. It was just a thought that maybe the mods could do more to encourage those who want to listen to visit the rovers player.

Where is the squad list?

Phillip mentioned it a page or two ago.. no idea where the squad list is.

[jonv]

Sky Sports say Salgado could start tonight's game...

[roversmum]

The texts of the line up should be on their way soon for subscribers. Anyone???
