What price category is this game C ?

Cat B

Seem to be leaving it a bit late to do a test run, imagine the first twenty minutes of the Swansea game will be an extreme stuttering close up of the back of a head with audio commentary "oh ffs , is it the blue or red lead that I plug in, I told Waggot these cameras from cash converters were shit."

Rovers TV are offering to stream the Bradford game. Not sure if payment is required because I'm doing something else.

Where did you see this @bazza ? Can't see anything on the Rovers TV site regarding the offer to stream etc

Its almost perfect, would have preferred opposite sleeve colours, but a solid start from Macron. 

I'd guess the away might be the same design, but in red and black?

Intrigued to know what colour the socks are, and also the goalkeeper shirts to come.

7/10 

On the Rovers website it says the socks are blue with white top band and shorts are white with blue stripe

Looks like no reverse halves on the back :(

Anyone know if these are genuine?

No idea if genuine, but they appeared on reddit a couple of weeks ago

If the real things are anything close to these, would be a thumbs up from me (providing its reverse halves on the back :) )

Lol ya but surely someone could email a picture over? Right?? 

email? ha ha ha, they are still trying to work out how to plug the fax machine back in after dodgy del unplugged it during the transfer widow a few years ago.

Emailed the club no response as yet, presume they are hoping to sell season tickets  for actual attendance at Ewood, before releasing streaming prices.

 

For a club that have always said its important to get money in early. this could have been an additional early income stream, not sure of numbers of those Rovers overseas subscribers to ifollow, but even a low guestimate of 100 at 140 quid each is 14,000 extra in the kitty., most would have subscribed in July / early August last season

Leeds tickets out, 15 quid a pop for adults. Riverside seemingly closed.

Would be a ideal test for Rovers TV, but it's all gone quiet since the initial press release.

only national journalist who covers Rovers or even the EFL anymore

and that is your defence of the red top funster? bit like saying JK Rowling is the only person covering the goings on at Hogwarts, both make a living making up  stories.

Just for clarification Harry Potter is not real :) even if you have seen him on TV

At this point I reckon if I worked at Tony’s local greasy spoon I could get a job at Rovers.

I don’t blame anyone for their skepticism. It’s understandable. This guy has some impressive players to his name, but at Celtic, there’s a bigger budget and a bigger draw (with European football here and there) too. 

Let’s see if a trusted DoF/HoR by the owners and the manager will get some financial backing. 

First job for him will be making sure the Armstrong transfer goes through as close as possible  to 10.59 pm on transfer day, then doing his charitable bit for the give a ex North East player a chance foundation by  dragging in any cast offs who have still not found a club

Twice worked with him. He also worked with him at Hibs.

Nearly three, he turned down a job at West Brom when TM was there according to this

He has made enough comments about the way he wants to play and this style has been implemented through the club age groups. 

do we need to keep going this again and again?

He's also made enough comments on not being interested in formations, tactics, results ,league tables etc to understand he does not know what he wants.

Next match Monday, same time, vs Uruguay.  Should be a great, tight match.  Uruguayans & Chileans kick the shit out of each other.

It has been missing a bit of the South American "passion" in the tournament so far :)

Is he playing central? Makes sense if he is, rather than left forward wing back winger.

Not sure he keeps drifting wide

Edit for those who have not seen it

Get in Brererton 1-0

2021 couldn't get any stranger.

Wait for the triple somersault and handstand when he scores :)

Just thinking, with the current view that seems to be at Ewood with regards to not enticing people to turn up at matches, wonder how much extra space / cost would be needed to add a 15,000 seater stadium onto an all in one academy on say the outskirts of Whitebirk ?

Would the sale of some land in Brockhall cover it?

Would only 3/4000 season ticket sales and home support of 6/7000 at matches be used to justify such a drastic move?

The way Mowbray talks the opposition up maybe Swaggot thinks there are 23 big category A clubs

How are people moaning about Benno leaving and making conspiracy theories 😂.

He's league 1 at best and has been for 3 seasons. 

He's stopped Nyambe growing and got in the way of development of the youngsters.

Didn't know that Bennet picked the team, glad he's gone then and ToMo will have a free reign on selection.

Not shooting you down at all but I don't believe it, two things stick out to me that don't add up.

Kean was a disgrace, but I don't believe he would turn up drunk. It doesn't fit the profile before he joined the club, he was a very well respected coach. I severely doubt he would rock up to training inebriated. He was just a terrible manager.

When were said coaches not allowed to go and watch players? That has been the case anyway for the last 15 months. We have certainly heard before the pandemic of scouts going to games across Europe. Even TM has suggested in the past that it was important that players were watched before any major judgements.

The drink spiker pounced again.?    There were plenty of stories from his times at other clubs doing the round regarding his off field antics, but when a bunch of idiots give you a million pound contract the move from buckfast to something more expensive could have dire results, especially for somebody from the mean streets of rowdy Cumbernauld
