Shit or bust, all or nothing, win or lose, kamikazee knockabout two effing days codswallop.

I was a Rovers fan in the 70's, an England cricket fan watching Haynes, Greenidge, Richards, Lloyd, Marshall, Garner, Croft, Holding, Roberts in the 80's, the Atherton years, the Graham Taylor years, the Steve Mclaren years, the Sven years, the Nasser Hussain years, the Venky years.

I don't mind losing. I'm USED to it. 

What i do mind is gifting victory to the opposition at a professional level. Two fucking days. Seriously??? We've got to be better than that.

Crawley 60 tests averaging just over 30. Its mind boggling how he keeps his job. Driving on the up not moving his feet time and time and time again when he has just walked to the crease. Against the worlds best. Thick as pig shit. Root and others also.

Players caught behind, or in the deep hooking. Hooking!!!! Why can't we just leave anything not on the stumps? And duck? Its so frustrating.

Gav, you'd be going mental if Rovers were 5-0 down before half time. Then recovering to 5-4, but ending up losing 14-7. Even if we did win 10-2 one week against some abject mess at home.

A five day test over in two days. It's cowardly. Thats what it is. Cowardly and spineless, spun and parcelled as brave and couragious for the unwitting and foolhardy.
