It’s so easy to go down divisions in sport, yet brutally hard to go back upwards. Rovers Women’s team have gone back a generation today. No matter what you think of women’s football, it’s a bad look and a narrow minded, short term decision. Another tremendously embarrassing day for our once proud football club.

A farewell to Goodison Park, the first away ground I ever did, Everton 0-0 Rovers (26/9/98) a ground full of history no doubt, but an awful fan experience as witnessed on my last visit to L4 for Everton 2-3 Rovers (Paul Ince’s first game in charge - 16/8/08) as we were on the back row of the lower tier and could barely see the pitch! Hope Rovers get an away day at Bramley Moore Dock soon!

The Ruel Fox effort? I always think the Peter Beardsley save in the first half is the most underrated. Doesn't even make some of the highlights!

Which one? 🤣

Was taken by my dad to a game when I was 4, no memory. A 0-0 draw against Plymouth I believe. The first I have real memory of, what I’d call “my first game” was the Playoff Final at Wembley against Leicester aged 5. Memories of the day are hazy, but I remember the train ride down and the colours/sights/sounds/smells. The old Wembley being a pretty cool place to start.

Paul Gascoigne from Spurs to Lazio for £5.5m the British record (at least involving a British club). I have no memory of Lentini 🤣

If you are under 31 you've never seen Rovers win at Bramall Lane. 15th January 1994 the last time Rovers won in South Sheffield. As of 15/1/94 UK Number 1 Song - "Twist and Shout" by Chaka Demus & Pliers feat.

Lets say Tyrhys and his agent go to the club and say "I want the money that Emmanuel Dennis is on (reported 20k a week) and a five year contract, with a Premier League release clause" circa £1m a year or £5.2m over the deal. Do you commit to him being your 'top man/top earner' til 2030? I don't know what I'd do to be honest, probably err on the side of caution and say no, but would love to hear the consensus.

Dear Senior Leadership, please make these podcasts stop! No winners, only more questions, queries and quotes.

Spotify threw out this song this morning, some appropriate lyrics "If that's your best, your best won't do" Being serious, what a sorry evening it was on Friday. Anger and frustration visible, yet it was the apathy of the majority which told its own story, this Rovers team (from top to bottom) has become easy to dislike. There seems to be some momentum towards change at some level, I just fear it won't be as sweeping and clinical as it should/needs to be.

Past the point of no return? If not now….it’s getting awfully close.

This is in no way an incendiary comment, just out of curiosity Do the groups have a response if they are all at Fratton Park tomorrow? What then?
