  1. I didn’t know either. BT Sports as well😏
  2. Just watched “Warne in a million” on sky sports. It was made before his death but really is worth watching.
  3. and not that long ago we were fully in charge of the second promotion spot. That transfer window really costing us.
  4. I just thought he was the top man for cricket, whatever he did I thought he was fantastic.
  5. Aged 52. One of crickets greatest ever. RIP Warney, loved watching you.
  6. Died today after suspected heart attack
  7. After our recent run - and only around two and a half days after what could have been a demoralising defeat at Sheffield, taking into account the injuries as well I thought Rovers were tremendous. To have the spirit they showed from the first minute to the last was probably more than we could have expected. Everybody played their part but Dolan and Kedra never gave QPR’s back four a breather. They chased everything while their defending from the front meant QPR never really got control of the game. Defensively the three at the back won everything in the air and didn’t miss much on the floor either. My MOTM was Dolan. Superb today.
  8. When it went out for a corner I texted my lad. It said Nooooooo. Yes, you could see it coming.
  9. We started nervously with little belief it looked to me. We were very fortunate not to be behind, hence out of the game after 20 mins. Fair do’s to the lads they slowly turned the game around and second half in particular played some excellent football. There was some real quality on show I thought. However, and a BIG however. Every supporter knew that without Breo we have no goal scorers at all in the club. Supporters knew it, the manager knew it and the owners should have known it. Rovers should have pulled out all the stops in this season of all seasons to address that problem, but they didn’t do it. The current situation isn’t down to injuries, individual mistakes, missed penalties, bad luck or just a bad run. It’s a result of a failure to address a glaring weakness in the squad and this, IMO, is why we are where we are. Part of me is angry that it wasn’t addressed, part of me is just sad.
  10. Came back into it really well but it’s another game where we must not go behind.
  11. The battery packs can cost more to replace than the car is worth. Also, it seems important to take certain precautions for them like not using rapid chargers too often or letting them run down too far. So buying second hand might deter some people. https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/advice-electric-cars/what-battery-life-electric-car
  12. It waterlogged between 12:30 and 2:15 when it didn’t rain and the snow was swept off? Im not doubting YOU Martonrover btw, but either the ref or rovers neglect of the pitch was to blame here. This wasn’t caused primarily because of the weather. It could have been prevented in my view. Maybe both parties should shoulder the blame, but it’s not good enough.
  13. Has it been determined WHY it was called off? If it was because of water logging? Really? - it didn’t look waterlogged from what I’ve seen. Was there any standing water? Plus there was no rain between the two inspections so why the change of mind if that was the cause? It couldn’t have been because of snow. That was cleared before KO. That only leaves a hard pitch, in which case was the under soil heating working and being used?
  14. Maybe, but it usually takes standing water for it to be called off.
  15. I suspect the undersoil heating hasn’t been working.
  16. Better second half showing by quite a bit. I guess a point is decent enough, but the game was there to be won. Desperately short up front.
  17. Jeez. WBA are short of confidence and so poor but rovers seem so intent on doing our bit for them.
  18. 😂yeah probably.
  19. On a very similar but happier theme, when my daughter was getting married and her and future husband were looking for a song for the first wedding dance, my wife chimed in with “I’ve always liked with or without you”. Bloomin’ with or without you on your wedding day. 😂
  20. The effort and sheer work rate of the players in the second half tonight was absolutely tremendous. We have to say that. The weakness though - and it’s a huge weakness, is that there’s a big gaping hole where a centre forward should be. So while we run at them and get players out wide, their centre halves just aren’t tested. They really aren’t put under pressure. All our play is in areas that don’t hurt the opposition. Mowbray somehow has to address that otherwise the season is going to end under a depression.
  21. Forest will be buzzing and no doubt fly at us from the off. Its absolutely imperative that we’re ready for this and don’t allow them to dictate from the off. As ever with Rovers, first goal matters.
  22. Interesting article Gav. A new start, a new era, a different way of thinking. It’s the kind of approach needed for sure. Like the article says this tour has a nothingness about it. It’s neither a backwards move in selection, nor a forward move. It does feel like English cricket is in limbo, waiting for the saviour to arrive. however, to get success you must have some of the best players in the world. They’re not there, are they?
  23. Brereton might have won us that game, if he’d started Arbitro. Start of game the Swans we’re all over the place defensively and he could have taken advantage of the room they afforded us. Once they got in front and went down to ten, the game didn’t suit Breo at all.
