My choice too. Not quite Championship level but league one will make him a better player

Waggot needs to provide a justification as to why gave them the full darwen end ? How on earth has that been allowed to happen in a game as big as this? An absolute disgrace. Their players on post match interview “it felt like a home game” says it all.

The ceo report to venkys (sometime next month!) will show a 21k+ crowd. Unfortunately he doesn't have to justify anything but will recieve a pat on the back..

Don't see us surviving championship after today. Coventry could field a reserve team but it makes now difference at home with our defense. Both keepers have caused religation yet we have the leading championship goal scorer. I'm not blaimimg JE but I am asking "management" why we have an in balanced side - leading goal scorer with two keepers who should not be at the club.  

We'll carryon this downward spiral until owners are replaced.

Players need to show today they are a championship quality. 

A must win. Need to relax for last two games.

Can imagine that if/when Sammie leaves for a premiership club, he won't be happy warming the bench. That's not his style.

He's never a team captain but leads by example.

The ref is Josh Smith for this game 

He's done ok for us in previous games.

Makes me laugh how modern keepers punch and punch… until defending a lead late on, they then suddenly remember how to catch again (with elaborate falls to the ground wasting thirty seconds) 😅

Can understand (🤣) why Leeds fans were annoyed with Pears taking his time but he was given a yellow card which doesn't always happen when an away keeper does this at Ewood. Seen a lot worse so a little bit of pay back.

Still bouncy on the result, the way we scored & Rovers fans reaction when players came over after game with the "we are staying up, we are staying up...." sound hitting the airways.

Outstanding Team effort including fan backing too. 

Personally for me beating Leeds at their place the way we did is the result of the season.

Bristol C 0 Hudds 0  HT

Typical Bristol haven't had a shot in the first half, Hudds have had 5.

Like someone said, they're on the beach.

GOAL!!!!!

Mercer!!

1700 Rovers fans going to Leeds today. Great effort and probably the one constant of recent times.

 

This is brilliant! 

Bad shocking embarassing performance all round. Fans deserve a refund, apology with venkys walking away after sacking Waggott, and LT need to lead the way with some true publicity about mismanagement of Rovers.

LT reporter didn't hold back on criticising Hyam during the game yet he gave him 3/10.

looks like we're trying to go down.

1 change - Markanday for Hedges

Deserves a start. Up against it tonight & it's a game I'd be happy with a point but we need 3.

If you watch the sky coverage it shows that replay during the main the game from 38.40 onwards. I can't post the video on here (on which Don Goodman actually changes his mind about whether he's offside when he sees it), but can only post the stills in sequence.

If you still think this clearly in the keepers line of vision then fine, but I disagree.

edit - I'm just going to crop and repost these to make them bigger.

 

 

 

 

 

The assistant on Jack Walker side had no right to raise his flag. On what evidence without VAR could he see Szmodic was in line. The interfering with play bit is a talking point for the ref to make a decision but Atwell cancelled the goal without talking to his assistant.

Diabolical decision which will help Atwell and other refs officiate next time a similar action happens but sadly cost us.

Atwell got wound up when Ipswitch started wasted time, crowd got agitated and he didn't know how to deal with it. The goal that was disallowed when Sammie was in the eye of the keeper, which TV replays show was incorrect, was disallowed quite a while after ball his the net. This suggests the linesman had some doubt so why didn't Atwell go over to have a chat with him? Probably because he was wound up and couldn't focus.

We've witnessed a poor ref. Yet he a rising star and we'll see more of him officiating top games. Like in all jobs he'll learn from his mistakes.

Lots of blame towards the ref including from no excuses Eustace. They could have had a penalty and Brittain sent off after 5 minutes.

So that shows what a poor ref (premiership too) he was today. The game was full of bad decisions.

Game should be abandoned due to incompetent officials.

QPR & Stoke big winners. We need 3 points today. COYB

Why has it taken until 25th March for this story to hit the press?

Very good open game of football between United and Liverpool. Very enjoyable for the neutral fan to watch. 

Cracking game. Thought the ref should have used decression when he gave a second yellow for player celebration. Winning goal with 10 seconds to go and he applies the letter of the law. 

Chelsea in blue Leicester in dark blue. Easy on the eye close up but on long shots crazy. Whoever made that decisionneeds a bollocking.
