You mean we'd do it with 30 sec left? This is Rovers you're talking about - it'd be more like we go in front with 3 sec left

This is Rovers we're talking about - we ALWAYS make it hard for ourselves!

Well, that settles it then: Brum 1-0

It's a toss-up between MGP v Fulham & Bellamy's 1st v Pompey. I think Bellamy just edges it as it's rare for a Rovers playerto dribble the ball so far without being tackled!

IN that case: Mackems 1-0 Rovers (Stead 90') Arse, Spuds & Mike Bassett's lot will all win as well.

As it was for two yellows it'll be just for one game.

Rovers 2-1 Pedersen

Boro 1-0. Spuds, Arsenal & Boton all win.

In the 1st half we should have been 3-0 down!

Todd 1-0 Rovers

Great minds think alike!

The link doesn't work.

AS we've got a chance of getting back in the Champions League (where we belong!), we'll mess it up - this is Rovers we're talking about after all... Spurs 2-0

ID cards are on their way... Ministers have won a Commons vote making it compulsory for people to be given ID cards - and put on a register - when they apply for passports. Earlier, MPs approved a measure requiring new legislation before ID cards are made compulsory for all.

Depends which version of Rovers turn up: If we play like we did vs Utd: we'll win quite easily If we play like we did vs Everton/Brom: Sunderland 2-0 I actually have no idea.

You must be unaware of the fact that this message board has various sections, not all of which are footy-related.

Must be how he always gets Souness to employ him!

We're screwed then... Brom 1-0

How can you be so sure?

According to the Irish paper the Evening Echo, if the ID Cards Bill is passed, then Ireland will adopt ID cards as well, albeit on a voluntary basis for those who regularly visit the UK. Hmm… the English oppressing the Irish, why does that seem familiar?

There’s a great post on the Obsolete blog on the numerous justifications that the government has tried to come up with for ID cards, all of which have been pulled apart. It also has this: Perhaps the best criticism though came from Lord Philips, who quoted a Labour politician who attacked the then Tory plans for ID cards by saying the money should be used on more police instead. That Labour politician? Tony Blair. If the Tories do it it’s a bad idea, if Bliar does it it’s a good idea…

The House of Lords have voted to force the govt to disclose the full costs of ID cards before they can become law. We'll have to see if the govt are able to overturn this in the Commons (hope not).

An updated version of the London School of Economics’ report on ID Cards has been published. Includes this on page iii): We are extremely concerned at the ongoing culture of secrecy endemic in the planning of the identity cards proposals. The Home Office has conducted most of its work in a covert fashion, refusing to disclose information that would inform debate, and conducting negotiations in a closed environment. This process is inimical to the creation of trust. This situation also makes further research on the proposals impossible. We find it incomprehensible that Parliament has been denied crucial information about costs. We cannot see a justification for any claim of commercial secrecy and believe this assertion is misleading. We are mystified as to why, after three in the planning, no government department has either signed up to the scheme or has provided published material on costs and benefits. We conclude that there still exists widespread uncertainty and scepticism about the proposals to an extent that may make the scheme unworkable at a level that goes beyond even that predicted in our first report. The main part is that they predict they'll cost £500.00 each!

Seeing today's transfer news, you can only make one prediction: Bolton win with a Jansen goal.

Gerodies & Villa have swapped places. I'm right about Charlton so far...
