  1. Never a red card. A foul but hardly serious foul play or dangerous. Whilst a bit rash, those kinds of challenges happen all the time.
  2. That’s unfortunate. It can be a bit daunting setting these things up even for those who do this regularly. There must be someone who can help you with this and get you up and running for the rest of the season.
  3. Me too Rigger. Will just miss sitting with my mates and of course the pre-match pint in the pub.
  4. You’re making it sound as if the club are deliberately screwing the fans to make a profit. Its unfortunate if anyone can’t get to watch on iFollow and maybe they should be given an alternative deal. However, I hardly think that those fans will take their bat home because of it. If they do, in the current situation, then that’s very sad. Personally I would love to be able to watch Rovers next season but after 56 years it looks like I’m not going to be able to attend as I’m not going to risk my health. Many others will be faced with the situation. I sincerely hope that, regardless of what happens, we continue to have a club to support and are able to watch either in person or online. Kids buying me a cardboard cutout for Fathers Day. I know it’s ridiculous but I honestly can’t think of a better present.
  5. Of course we would prefer to be at the ground watching games, but we can’t. Of course we would like a refund on our season tickets or a discount off next season. Of course we want to watch games on iFollow as an alternative. As it stands the club are trying to finish the season without Covid making a bigger hole in the finances than it already has done. No match day income, money for testing, players wages etc. Let’s not have a go at the management for doing what they can, to try and ensure we still have a club to support next season and those following.
  6. No doubt Preston will now be pressing for the season to be decided on a PPG basis given that they are just hanging on to a play off spot.
  7. It may be entertainment but it is also a job for many involved in the game. There are risks but sooner or later we will all have to go back to work as government money can only last so long. If not, then we are all well and truly screwed. Providing adequate precautions are taken to ensure those involved do not have the virus, then those risks are going to be small and probably not much different to working outside on construction sites etc.
  8. Maybe there could be a new rule introduced whereby players are not allowed within 2 metres of each other and an electronic device fitted to alert referees to the infringement. A free kick would then be awarded. I suspect this would lead to a more free flowing game with none of this shirt pulling in the box but unfortunately lots of free kicks!
  9. Surely, we’re not just talking about the professional game being missed. Millions of people watch and play football at all levels. Hell, I’m missing playing 5–side once a week with my mates. We may not be able to visit Ewood or wherever for some time but being able to watch Rovers on TV would be a godsend at the moment, providing it’s safe to do so.
  10. A fan rather than someone who is indifferent to football. You know what I mean Arbitro. Just as I’m not missing golf because I’m not really a golf fan
  11. Not missing football in general? Really? I can’t believe any genuine football fan would say that!
  12. Isn’t the furlough scheme for companies that can’t afford to maintain their workforce? That surely means that they cannot afford to keep their workers on and would normally have to let them go? if a club like Liverpool can’t afford to pay all their employees for a few months then football is in big trouble.
  13. Watched it over the last couple of days and thoroughly enjoyed it (as did the Mrs who’s not really into football).
  14. The football authorities, TV companies and clubs will need to be imaginative to ensure football is affordable and attractive.
  15. There could of course be an upsurge in attendances as a sort of solidarity with the clubs. Everyone has taken football for granted and never had to go through anything like this since the World Wars. Whatever happens, things won’t be the same
  16. I thought I read somewhere that these loans were in lieu of the money that all clubs would receive at the end of the season.
  17. You can’t really compare this situation to the one that Bury were in. It’s not the leagues responsibility to keep football clubs afloat when they overspend or are mismanaged.
  18. I like Rothwell but he often looks like the kid in the playground who gets the ball, tries to beat everyone and score the goals. With little actual end product. Unfortunately modern day football is miles away from the kids playground and he needs to know when to pass as that is the style of football that Mowbray is wanting us to play. There is room for Rothwell but maybe not out wide
  19. We may have unearthed a little gem of a player. Great performance today which could (should) have been polished off with the winning goal
  20. A tough game, no doubt about it. A win would be good but a draw will be just fine. Good luck to those travelling to the game
  21. Game played out as many probably expected. Fulham much the better team technically and Rovers lacking any creativity. what surprised me the most was that we really didn’t put them under any pressure until they scored. Too many nervous wayward passes, Travis didn’t really get going until Johnson went off (a clue there). I don’t like criticising players who give their all and Gallagher certainly does that but why on earth do we keep him out on the wing. On one occasion he won a header only to see it go out of play. Surely he should be doing that in a central position and leaving the wing play to someone with the relevant skills (Chapman?). Overall a reasonable performance in the circumstances we find ourselves in, a bit of luck for their goal was the difference in terms of goals scored. This league is not really that strong and it’s just a shame we aren’t really in a position to put in a serious challenge.
  22. Why shouldn’t we win? We are one of the top teams on current form. Yes, Fulham are doing well too but beatable
  23. Bristol City just lost 3-1 to Birmingham this evening. A win for Rovers puts us within 3 points of 6th as it stands. What better incentive to have a right good go at Fulham
  24. Interesting debate however we are where we are and have to finish the season with the current squad. Of course we are disappointed that we haven’t added some quality (not depth) as that is what we need given the shortcomings in certain positions. it’s fairly obvious however that we would have had to spend megabucks to buy the quality players that would guarantee a promotion push and this window is not the time for such a squad rebuild. Im expecting the season to fizzle out with a comfortable mid table finish in which case I hope the younger players get their chances.
  25. Believe you me, IF we get into the play-offs, folk will turn up regardless off price, temperature or whatever. It's just the nature of many fans (not just Rovers), they can't be bothered unless there's a smell of success.
