It wouldn't have done -they have a proper pitch.

Shrunk in the rain? 😉

In society in general. Anybody's fault but mine.

I took it a different way. Just another example of the farce that is Rovers -the players clearly knew, so why weren't the freezing cold fans told quickly in an announcement? And I just thought that their players were praising their fans for giving good support having travelled a long way in crap conditions. Sammy, nice touch from him and the BBE as well.

Hey, when I made that point I was downvoted 🙂 It happened a bit ago no? (Can't remember who we were playing). Arrived at a home game around 2pm to hear announcement on Radio 5 that it was abandoned. Cue Rovers fans, away fans, BBC 5Live all moaning about the ref and late cancellation etc etc.

Curiously, no comment about dreadful championship refs at the time on the thread. Funny that. 🙂

Anybody care to comment on the pen? Live, at the game, I thought there was going to be a booking for a dive. More than happy to be corrected. On the game. Think Mori shoud play up top with Ohashi as they clearly think quickly and understand each other. Cantwell wasted up top -they played a very high line and he is not fast enough to exploit the space behind. Other than that, fairly regulation stuff from either side. 2 chances for them first half (one straight at Toth and one a reasonable save from Hirst). 1 for them right across the face of goal. Ref gave us pretty much everything. No point crying about the abandonment. Correct decision from ref as pitch became unplayable safely. We could certainly argue about what should happen now, but given precendent and the rules, looks like a fully replay. Pasha rubbing hands. Mori has made a big difference and I think Gud will too. Looking at the sides we have played this season, the league certainly seems average/ January/february/injuries will tell the real story I guess. Not been dull so far 🙂

Thought he just ran out of ideas and hoofed it forward hoping poor Ohashi might make something of it.

Should be replayed - refs are always against us. 😉

Then there would be plenty on here moaning about late cancellation, travelling fans etc etc.

Adults in the room finally.

Realism finally.

Dribble. Refs have protocols and they folow them.

Pasha rubbing hands.

Wrong.

RG?

Who is responsible for that?

Straight at him.

Well in terms of Rovers yes -ie standard MO of messing a player about and being economical with the truth.

Diploma in Sport Directorship I read that very quickly at first -thought it said Sport Dictatorship.....

I predict worse than last season -nothingness of mid to low table. (And let's see if we can get beyond the quarter final of the cup).

7th.

Well, given that the "negative drag from some of the established players," the "cozy environment on and off the field" and the "snake" of a manager have been jettisoned, I fully expect us to go well beyond 7th, what with all these exciting new influx of lads.
