50% chance of rain today 100% chance tomorrow 20% chance friday and it's looking quite chilly It's spitting, quick, janice barbara get the kids inside! Anyway just about to head off to the airport so i'll see you lot at the bar. Mines a lager thanks! We're All Going On A European Tour!

It is ridiculas, no tackles are allowed these days. Don't even think about going shoulder to shoulder with someone! But if your a defender you can deliberately play the man and let the ball run out of play, yet you do it at the other end and it's a free kick to the defending team

Good point i had assumed that 2 home games in a row would be followed by an away, but thats where watford comes into it. I shouldn't worry about attendance it can't get any worse.

He didn't exactly flick it just in front of him, there was a fair amount of space between him and the ball. Hmm i've always been a fan of koumas for his attacking football, if he was in the team i wouldn't ask him to worry about defending to much. Also i'm not sure a fit dunn exists anymore!

Prefer last season's to this one. The changes they have brought in are good but mean that you have to alter your team settings massively for every game you go in to. Last time i was able to basically leave my settings for an entire season with only injuries and suspensions causing me problems. Ooijer doesn't seem to have the best of luck in the game as well as real life. So far he has been sent off and scored 2 own goals for me!

Have to say i am really liking the new oasis stuff now. I didn't at first but it grows on you. Listening to so many new bands at the moment though. I blame Griz for starting me off on yeti!

Will do LD, I'll be the one in the rovers top....... Probably in the bar and with a burger king. So healthy!

My opinion about the axe is well known. I'm all for MGP or Bentley in CM with Peter or Emerton taking either wing. We have been linked heavily with koumas again i see, shame we didn't get him in the 3 summers we've been linked with him. According to WBA site he is hitting top form again. Surely a better bet than Dunn?

yes, but as watford isn't on it goes to the game after. Fulham away i think

Ghaly's is for violent conduct and as such 3 match. Tugs is just a normal red so 1 match. The replays are quite damming for Ghaly, glad he got 3 matches.

When you can't even get fairplay at amateur level what chance do you have at the top. With players diving and staying down to stop the opposition attacking there has to be some kind of help for the ref. This is a step in the right direction and then who knows in the future.

15:20 from brum? if so thats the one i'm on. Liedesplien is a good place to start at least, take a few numbers and talk to people out there. I would just look for the swarm of blue & white.

Have got a couple of numbers, if anyone wants to take mine to arrange the meet up then by all means pm me.

Don't know what everyone's plans are but to start with on weds day/night, i'll be heading for Leidseplein, went there last time and it isn't half bad. If Rovers fans are going to the Red Light District area then thats only a couple of tram stops up. What is the plan for meeting up weds and thurs? SCF08: Savage has only just come back from injury but still should be a big influence. Bentley lways raises his gme in europe and normlly scores. Brett is a bit of an enigma, very good at the moment at right back but should be a right midfielder really. Gray is a squad player really, but he played well in our last game. As for Pedersen he can score the most amazing goals but then mess up a simple pass.

Your right about the money situation but thats just the world of football! Who are you most wary of from our team then? and who aren't you worried about in the slightest? I would say that we don't do that, mainly because we can't. Our defence is shakey at the best of times and the only way we win games is to play attacking football.

But we beat an international team 5-0, so read in to pre-season matches what you will. As for English teams not be good in europe, which country was in the CL and Uefa Finals last year? I don't think we'll be as bad as you think! Do you know much about any of our players?

I am not a part of BRISA but i can see it has a role to play. Without giving advice and opinions to the people who matter how will they know what we want? If they don't know how can they change things?

I wish the defences and goalkeepers were as bad as that in the premiership.

Even when he was sent on loan to leeds? Gray has been average and lacks the pace to be a top class left back. Having said that it was his best game for along time for us and long may it continue but i doubt he'll be in the team when lucas becomes fit again. The direction the ball went in clearly indicates that he didn't chest it and his obvious delight at getting away with it. So much in fact that he can't even keep his mouth shut to managers and players. If your saying thats not a penalty then why bother having handball? The only ones you'd give would be John Terry diving saves. Ghaly made the most of his "foul" it was a penalty but not a sending off and i await the FA appeal. No doubt Mr Dowd and his assistant won't even get a talking to. Mido has to have some FA protection order on him, how didn't he go for his countless offences and backchat? Ghaly was unlucky to go but he seemed to go with intent and changed his mind. You just can't stick your arms up like that these days, you can't do anything at all!

My thoughts exactly. I know a couple of them, although a 4-3-3 could be interesting to defend against. Are we expecting lucas and zurab to return?

Mido cushioned the ball down with his arm, if it had been his chest then the thrust would have meant he moved his arm backwards. Plus it's handball because he admitted as much! Gray was very good and it was good to see the energy that savage gave us. Brad was very unlucky not to save the pen, just too much power. after feyenoord we get the weekend off and i think we need to regroup and learn how to defend and take set pieces.

What a ******* joke. Ref's and assistants are paid to get decisions right so why do they get all of ours totally wrong. He lost all control of the game and i wasn't suprised to see that vicious elbow by ghaly at the end, only suprise was that the ref took his eyes out of his arse and actually saw it! Penalty for them was dodgy to say the least, it looks to me as if ghaly stood on tugs' foot and the red card is a disgrace. Mido shouldn't have been still on the pitch to handball it and a more blatent handball you won't see. The assistant went to give it with his right arm and then didn't! Encouraging performance with 10 men, but once again screwed over by the officials.

The most we can expect is to do well in both cup's and if we get into europe do well in that. You can't expect a club with the lack of resources we have to be up there with the big boys. Should a big investor come in that would change and i have no doubt that all premiership clubs in the future will have a big investor. The question would be will rovers get one, fight with the remains of jack's empire or will we be left to drift slowly down the table? I hope we can fight back keeping the walkers involved but i we don't have the vast amounts of cash, so it's up to the manager. Thank god we have a damn good one!

I have similar issues on my laptop and at work. It works fine on my main pc but i have no end of problems on the other 2.

BCFC Profile, again he only 6 months left on his contract. Unless they have a year extra suddenly? Joined on a 4 year deal in 2003 so its either £1m (probably less than) in january or bye bye for free in the summer.
