  3. Halves reversed on the back means the shirt is in quarters. It should ALWAYS be like this because that is our traditional shirt. There was only one season (16/17?) when we had true halved shirts when the "halves" were not reversed on the back, this being allowed by our stupid, naive owners.

  5. Standard stuff from Mowbray really. As ever the proof will be in the pudding and I'll try to reserve judgement and not pay too much attention to the publicity. I do get sick and fed up of Sky, Radio Lancashire and Telegraph scuttling along to the Eid in the park event and trying to get a story out of him regarding Dack. Maybe to be expected from Sky in their Premier League obsessed world but it is disappointing to see from the local media. Gives them something to do I suppose but I don't think it is being done in Rovers interests and appears to be completely baseless at this point.

  8. Yeah I love the old stuff. “On a pitch barely fit for play rovers take one hell of a beating”. Also like not one of 55,000 home fans thought they would lose. Funny they thought the same in 2002

  9. This has to be a joke. Dack is not an international footballer - it's doubtful he's even good or fit enough to play in the Premier League

  11. I agree, Dack could really benefit from sorting himself out physically and becoming more consistent in his performances.

  12. A Championship modern era Dunn is as good a comparison as you can get I think. Not on his level but similar enigma with the same build, refuelling, ego and bird issues it seems. Dunny at least climbed to the top before he fell off his pedestal this lad will never get there unless he puts the graft in.

  13. Why do we keep going in circles around this. Of course we play in halves, but at one time the halves were always reversed at the back, ergo they were described as quarters.

  15. My interpretation is that Mowbray is covering all his bases because he hasn't said definitely either way. That's what worries me.

  23. Kompany and Zabaleta were both signed for £6m (ish) within weeks of Hughes leaving Rovers for City. They were Hughes' top targets for us that summer and the wheels were in motion on both. Hence why it was such a quick double signing at City. Imagine if City had waited a few more weeks and we signed both of them in 2008 instead of Grella, Andrews and Simpson. They can join the fantasy 11 players we almost had along with Keane, Zidane, Dugarry and Lewandowski.

  25. Why are you on here clearly to wind people up? It is just standard, vague transfer talk which somehow youve interpreted as Mowbray being "absolutely buzzing" and your primary objective is to try to prove/manipulate that others would be anything but happy if we had a healthy budget and the manager was "buzzing."

  28. They were called Quarters as made of 4 pieces of cloth. Yes is the answer to the Bristol question. Everyone now accepts that in the modern age and shirt manufacture Rovers design is called halves. Rovers themselves referred to the shirt as quartered up to at least WW2 Not a pop at just you but some posters on here refuse to accept historical truth.

  32. I havent seen this, but in general I see little to no point in getting hung up on social media over the summer, especially in terms of judging whether players are keeping on top of their fitness whilst on holiday. Didnt the whole team go to Las Vegas last year after promotion? People use their social media for different things, and ultimately its Dacks girlfriend who is clearly desperate to portray this flashy image in her desperation for fame and publicity. I dont know if its just a lack of things to talk about, but I remember last season when Samuel was videoing himself running up hills, I imagine most if not all footballers do at least some fitness work over the summer to keep ticking over but people made a big deal out of Samuel doing it and how he deserved another chance to prove himself despite not having scored in the last 6 months of a League 1 season.

  37. Rich Sharpe is regurgitating Waggott’s line for a second article that we only sold 8,750 season tickets last season. Even though on Twitter Sharpe said he would be asking him why he was saying we had sold 10,000+ a few months ago. https://www.lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/rovers/news/17694740.finances-show-importance-of-season-ticket-sales-to-rovers/

  39. Players are wanting more than we can afford when we enquire about them is now making its predictable appearance along with the no shit Sherlock if you want to sign good players early you pay top dollar and get good players.!!!! I did mention now was a really good time to make room on the wage bill so that a bit more might be chucked at a decent signing instead of carrying players who'll contribute very little if anything. We'll sign some young ones who'll bubble along underneath and break into the side also. Goal posts are moving away from the ready made champ players it looks like, i'll stick my hat on it now and say we won't sign one at all who fits that description. We simply won't or can't pay for them and won't clean broom the squad to make ample wage room for a marquee signing. The squad will just be bluffed out again imo. Lets hope they surprise us and I can wipe egg off my chin !

  41. A simple yes or no would have done Stuart, but thanks for confirming anyway. It was posted on FB as though genuine and does include the Rovers and Umbro badges in the graphic, I have no idea who or what @conceptkits is/are.

  42. I think people taking a wait and see approach to renewing is far more complicated than just “seeing who we sign”. At the consultation meeting, both Mowbray and Waggott categorically stated that Mowbray was in control of all signings. He is given a budget and allowed to sign players within its confines with no interference from Venky’s. I had long suspected the opposite. They were both also quick to shoot down any suggestion that Venky’s had an aversion to spending money on defenders, and acknowledged this was an area of the team that needed urgent improvement and investment. If we go into the first game of next season with either Mulgrew or Williams (or Bauer) starting alongside Lenihan, not only will we struggle, it will also make a mockery out of everything they said. Even if we spend relatively big money on a striker, or a “project player”, and stuck a few ageing midfielders in there as well, it would just be more of the same, and not only would it further cement my suspicions of Venky’s interference and raise questions around their motivations when it comes to signings, it would also damage Waggott and Mowbray’s credibility massively in my eyes. I’d see them as, at best, puppets incapable of exerting enough influence and common sense on the owners, or at worst, liars.

  43. Mowbray’s team work harder than any since 94-95?! Whaaaat? Hughes and Allardyce say hello! The amount of times we downed tools last year was galling.

  44. You’ve proven nothing, but OK. In fact by bringing Allardyce into it, you’ve given TWO examples of over-achieving teams over this lot, so nice one!

  47. Toying with it. Back in the north after a few years working away! Only issue is midweek games as I usually have meetings in Birmingham at our head office. I think they’re a bit steep price wise but think il be going for it this year! At 20 a game roughly what enjoyment can you get for that these days? The zoo cost me 48 quid last weekend!

  49. Whilst Id love him to stay, if I put myself in his shoes...I'm 25 and have ambitions to make it in the premier league having never currently played there. Im off at the first offer from a prem team as the opportunity may never come again. One bad season or injury would see his stock fall. The ideal is if we get promoted with him.
