I haven't seen him, but heard that he is the dogs do dahs.

Probably one of the reasons why I didn’t see eye to eye with him.

It was our only home defeat that season. They beat us 1-0 and all I remember was Jimmy Mullen breaking his leg and the 9 year old me, think they were the dirtiest team in the world.

What happened to the poster, who started this thread? I didn’t always see eye to eye, but as a regular and interesting poster, I did enjoy some of his comments. Is he okay?

A very hard watch, especially after the red, but I don’t care. Had we been awesome and drew or lost, I would have been a misery guts for the weekend. The defence did its job and to concede one goal in the last 8 games, is just awesome. With the last minute Luton winner, adding the cherry on top, it is a celebration for me tonight.

I am almost sue you once mentioned the original offer Shebby put in for Rhodes was crazily low and I think I am correct in thinking he made a jokey type of threat, about coming after your house if the Rhodes signing didn't work out. Despite some cringe worthy things, I do actually have some fond memories of Shebby and agree, that at the time, he gave us some hope, during some very dark times.

The Morten Gamst Pensioner, is another incident that springs to mind, when I think of Shebby, which was what he blurted out at the meeting at King Georges Hall.

Whoops sorry, I just posted a new topic on this too. Can the Mods please remove. RIP Shebby 61 too young these days.

The empty stadium, will make for an unusual (2020/21 excepted) atmosphere and should work to our advantage. I am hoping for a win, but avoiding defeat is a must. Rovers 0-1 Big Ben.

One other thing to think about is, if we did go up, they are then out of contract and would presumably struggle to get a premier league team to take them, so they simply miss out on a promotion bonus and a premier league contract. The payers seem to be playing a dangerous game.

Earlier posts from some people suggest we spike play fringe players. That team wins that comfortably with the first choice keeper. Bad for confidence that result and wrong that 4,000 had to witness that.

During our early premier league years, we had trips to the final of the league cup and won it of course, a two leg semi final another year and two FA Cup semi finals too. All of those achievements, are close to as exciting as the actual winning of the league cup, as it felt great supporting Rovers in such big games at the life of the Millenium stadium and Old Trafford V Chelsea. Yes the game has changed, but there is no reason why we should give anything but our best in tomorrow's game and go on a decent run in the competition.

It shows what it means to the fans still and therefore should be taken seriously.

It's beginning to feel a bit like that Olympic badminton match, when both teams were trying to lose. What a farce the FA cup is becoming, which is very sad.

Or Burnley at our place and turn them over. I love the cup and hate how the big bucks of the premier league have ruined it.

Call me a traditionalist, but I will be pissed right off, if we lose this by fielding a badly weakened team. Granted we are on a great position in the league, but we should be trying our best to make it through and pocket the money and the chance of a lucrative draw in the next round.

It is a concentration thing that, rather than a lack of ability, as I do believe he has the ability. Cut that out of his game and we have a quality player, at our current level. If we lose him for nothing in the summer it will be an outrage.

I suppose under Venky’s, it could be argued that we are, as I for one, consider that still being in existence, is probably more than I dared to expect roughly 4 years ago.

I rate him and strongly disagree with him being singled out by the manger. To play Bennet in front of him was a joke and I have to say he is one of the best full backs (wing backs if you like) in the current championship.

Hopefully Ryan goes nowhere near this site, as anyone reading some of this, would think we have a liability on our hands.

Exactly, yet Roverite seems to want to blame Nayambe, for almost every goal we have conceded, when he is playing.

Well if you don’t need to go any further what about this. Kaminski needs to start upping his game, as all the goals this season, went between the sticks that he is supposed to guard. His deputy didn’t concede any, so why has he conceded some? I think you have a very strange agenda and I guess you are one of these bully boys, who frightened Big Ben to death in his first couple of years. I suggest you get a grip on reality.

Okay then, just so that your theory isn't also debunked, with of the following would you put down to Nayambe's fault? Swansea 1 07/98/21, Millwall 1 14/08/21, Forest 1 18/08/21, West Brom 2 21/08/21, Middlesbrough 1 28/08/21, Luton 2 11/09/21, Cardiff 1 25/09/21, Huddersfield 28/09/21, Blackpool 2 02/10/21, Coventry 2 16/10/21, QPR 1 19/10/21, Derby 1 30/10/21, Fulham 7 03/11/21, Sheff UTD 1 06/11/21, Bristol City 1 20/11/21, Barnsley 1 29/12/21

Looks to me like the American takeover, was a huge mistake. The old directors have taken the money and run. I suspect a relegation, will be a disaster and see them struggling to make it back to the prem. As for the Dyche out agenda, that’s plain crazy.

Not at all, I am trying to put over, how great it is to be able to look forward to each game. It’s as positive as we have been for over 11 years.
