If it's any consolation, I'm still extremely bitter about what 'went on'. There comes a point though (for me) where what's the point?......you can't change anything...it's gone. The present and the future though is entirely different. I'll never forgive, nor will I forget (far from it) but neither will I spite my face because of it! WE ARE The Rovers, COYB!!!

'Crown of Crowns'?.....behave Merc, stick with St Emilion, you're showing your age with the initial reference!😉 Any betting tips btw?..........'Boro nailed on?

1. You're welcome...have you scrutinised the financials? 2. Yes it is, look at the league table as of today.

I'm sorry Tony but historically I agree (as you full well know) but as is the here and now, I vehemently disagree. I'll leave it there.

I get all of that, but at what point do you draw a line in the sand? Who would you rather be today, here and now......a Claret with their owners or us with ours?

1. You tell me?....that's not the point, as you well know! 2. My point endorsed, thanks.

"A quick look at our opposition tonight shows you don't need £50 million in sales and training grounds being transferred to comply with FFP and still invest." .....And where do our opposition tonight sit currently in the league table compared with us? Your mathematics also don't add up....you can't use potential sales in the future as current cash in the bank. FFP is a fact, rightly or wrongly...it's about time there were more bums on seats at Ewood, rather than just completely berating the owners for "lack of ambition". Like it or not, the fact is that Venkys poured in another just short of £35 million into BRFC last financial year, respectfully give it some thought.

I'm pretty certain that all at Rovers are fully aware that this season presents our best shot at going up. Particularly bearing in mind where we currently sit in the table and being mindful of the financial clout of those that are likely to be relegated from the PL this season. Despite the rumours to the contrary, I'm also pretty certain that nobody will be going elsewhere this window, unless a ridiculous offer is received that would be silly to refuse. There'll be some incomings (perhaps short term) but there will always be the thought that we don't want to block the progression of the wealth of talent (particularly in U18s) and some in U23s. I'm pretty relaxed, as long as we sign some experienced heads (even if short term) to support our young squad and hopefully help us over the line this season. COYB!!!

Markandy has only been with us for 5 minutes Rigger....you can't throw that injury at Rovers' training regime. I accept though that we have always had an unhealthy level of hamstring and groin issues. which should be looked at in terms of the reason why.

Seriously? Edit: Apologies, I've just read the report.....how unfortunate and sad for both Markanday and us! Harvey Elliott is with us on Monday night....get him signed up until the end of the season and if we go up, permanently! It'd take the pressure off Buckley, Rothwell and Dack.

I'd like to see Dolan back up top, assuming he's fit.......playing the chasing/harrassing game, high up the pitch, against a big, cumbersome back 4. Then the 2 banks of 3 at the back and in midfield that have served us so well (assuming they're available) and then perm any others (except Gallagher) for the remaining outfield slots. We have to take the game to 'Boro IMO.

If We got our act together from the position We're in, we shouldn't worry about anyone (Fulham excepted). We've 10 days to do something to shore us up (even if it's just to seasons end and see where it takes us). It's not just about illness and injury but yellow card counts are also mounting (Lenihan and Buckley in particular)....We're short term wafer thin and need some investment NOW!

Gonna set off for" 'Ull" in a couple of hours.....meeting up with pals from Cheltenham, Colne, Solihull, London, Nottingham, Warrington, Epsom and Santa Monica California. We're all die hard Rovers! COYB, let's tear a hole in the cheating Tigers tail!

http://www.eticketing.co.uk/lutontown/default.aspx Worth a punt!

I was 10 years old, other than an away game at Bolton and being scared to death under the bridges en route to Burnden Park, the fog at Goodison is my earliest recollection of an away day back then.

Perhaps he got lucky......I couldn't buy one extra for a season ticket holding mate at 9.30am this morning and that's what I was told.

I think Rovers will be really fired up for tomorrow night and will need little motivation from elsewhere....we'll rip into Hull from the off, on the front foot. On the ticketing front, Rovers are still expecting 2,500 plus at Hull and if folk didn't already know, we sold out our 1,000 allocation for Luton by mid afternoon yesterday, which was the first day they were on sale. COYB!!!

What about the 3-1 defeat a couple of days later!😉 2 games in 3 days against the same team, all that travelling, no Christmas Day with the family....... ridiculous was the cry! These current young pups don't know they're born by comparison.

I think that is a damn good shout!

Whether it's down to coaching, limited overs cricket or just player application, I don't know. In Test Cricket, if all of your top order batsmen (Root excepted) don't average above 30, you haven't a cat in hells chance!

Just wait until Scott's younger brother Adam is introduced in to the first team squad.......you'll 'cream your jeans' then! Fabulously gifted midfielder!
