How dare dirty Derby and a ref obviously totally biased and on the take and with the snake of a manager who stole all our players not let us walk all over them, disgusitng from deby county yesterday. Truly awful. 😉

Miller should certainly have been sent off in a prevoius game for a 2 footed lunge.

How long are you giving them?

Not disagreeing Tyrone but perhaps not as career threatening as an old time reducer that you could get away with in the past?

😉 You know the answer. It's the official club line.

Indeed -banter is ok. But some morons believe certain narratives peddled by serial liars.

Not for the first time. Managers at Rovers unhappy? Must be because they are snakes and liars. Or could it be something else? 😉

I try to be fair.

Hedges was fine and cost us nothing in terms of the result. Pears did nothing wrong and didn’t cost us in terms of the result. The ref was ok (he let a lot go, but got nothing materially wrong) and didn’t cost us in terms of the result. Toughen up Rovers. The lads gave their all but weren’t good enough against a resolute Derby side. We simply didn’t have enough to prevent 2 simple goals or enough to then open up a side who sat back and said ‘come on if you are good enough.’ We weren’t.

Apologies Andy for the abrasiveness but still don't agree. 🙂 They played a lot of good short stuff. They were resolute in defence (how many headers did we win?) They played really well into the hole/front man and kept it well (signalling lacking from us). And yes of course they were certainly 'physical' at times. Certainly not saying they are Barcelona but they are not just 'hoof and run'.

;-))

Disagree. Bristol were dreadbul first half - so scared of conceding - and allowed us to play in their half so easily - and we took advantage well (and agree, we should have scored more.) The defending to allow Albeiousu to get in to set up a goad was really poor (but full credit to Ryan). We didn't sit back second half - they forced us back by being far more aggressive (half time team talk?) but agree we dealt with it really well (just like Derby today) and was really pleased with no-nonsense defending.

Yes, surprise nobody has commented on this. Embarrassing. To be fair, think it was the refs fault not the clubs. (For a change).

No he isn't. He is a workmanlike footballer who can do us a job and has scored a few great goals.

What a load of nonsense. Do you think they care? They won and they didn't just hoof it long and high just like big Sam wasn't all ugly football. They played at times, got their goals and then sat deep to let us huff and puff to no effect. Eustace kept us in this league and does what he has to.

So short sighted Rev. Derby defend far far better than Bristol. We were allowed to play first half against Bristol and took full advantage. Derby are well drilled and made life very difficult -doulbed up on de Neve and Albeiousu. 5 across the back, 3 in front of that and no space to play in. Got their goals, and just sat in, worked extremely hard to nullify us. You have to have special players or sheer physicality to open up a side like that. Also, Bristol played far better in the second half, pressed us more and did not allow us to play as well as the first half.

Except here of course.

So is it correct to say that the minutes on the official Rovers site contain lies -that is, reporting things that were supposed to have been said but in fact, were not?

Dogs of war on both sides..

Agreed.

Simply because Bristol have upped their effort, pressed more and made life more difficult.

More of a contest now.

Rev won't mind 😉

Talk of Mori giving it away, what about McLoughlin?

Tronstad.
