Eustace - we have a problem!

Nailed it - didn’t have to be Venky’s that benefited from any dodgy betting. But they may have facilitated it - knowingly or not they would still be seen to be culpable. Far fetched? Being involved in match fixing and dodgy betting whilst ridiculous amounts are spent on wages and agents fees is still not as unbelievable as appointing K@#* and Coyle As for the whole Shaw situation 🥳

Will Pickering play RWB with Chrisene LWB? Struggling to think of any alternative.

Yeah - i wrote what i actually meant further down in the post 🫣 (that even bets at evens or beyond are profitable)

Be nice - Hyamey, Gally’y, Hedgey, Pearsy and Brittney (sic) are much happier now that everything is the fans fault whilst not being forced to do stupid things like learn how to pass and control a football whilst still being exonerated for being crap at defending Waiting for one of them or JE to raise our fantastic bus/coach…

The betting market has 2 angles - one is profit (anything even beyond evens given a known outcome is a ROI) and the other is to move money around without direct links. Systematic betting fraud doesn’t need every transaction to get 33-1 - multiple bets all the way down to (and beyond) evens are winning bets if you know the outcome. If money laundering is involved then even losing money deliberately as the bookie enters the picture…

See Abbey’s post about betting in the V’s/HMRC thread and contemplate what odds would you have got on relegation after last season 🤔

After last season - what odds would I have got betting on a Rovers relegation this season… (ok - maybe even they aren’t stupid enough to do this whilst being investigated but… 🤫)

From reading between the lines I wonder if JDT (or the Swedish FA) actually paid to be released from his contract

The club is in profit but the owners will inject any monies needed to fund the club In short zero reinvestment and Stevie gets a pat on the head for getting us relegated 🤬

Unless we have new owners or Eustace quits then he will be here next season regardless of league. Would I have him? He has a lot to prove in the remaining games and off the pitch because so far it would be no

🤣👍 Says it all in a way - regardless of who the manager is we can’t beat the worst team in the league

Have we actually been better or has Pears been the difference? Any stats guys willing to compare xg against for the last 6 vs 6 games with Wahlstedt

Nice job but giving us 3 points vs Rotherham may be a tad optimistic 🫢🫣

Not sure if we are a helpless puppy or an ailing old lab in the dog analogy. Fight - 🤣🫣 They couldn’t fight their way into a paper bag never mind out of one!

Swansea were shit - we were worse. Not entirely sure what our gameplan was and don’t think the players knew either.

I’d be bringing on Gilsenan just to see if he can do it at this level

Moran is not a cm - Garrett should be playing today

Anyone know if Gallagher is fit to start?

Being a Rovers fan has given me great Pleasure at times but a also a very pessimistic view… I think today will be the day when all the bounces go against us, probably a penalty against and either a worldie or a “fell on his arse and the ball bounced off him to deceive Pears” type. 2-0 Swansea I fear but I hope I’m wrong

Fair play to them being a little honest/humorous

Last night highlighted why implementing a plan b is not easy against teams that sit back. With SG off, and no Hedges the last 20 were “JDT” football. If Telavovic was trusted and we dared go to a back 4 then we could have just bombarded their box. That it didn’t/can’t/won’t happen under current circumstances I can fully understand given the players available and our shocking record of conceding late goals.

”Growing together” is my new bullshitbingo/drinking game phrase… Suspect i may end up with a drinking problem… 🤔🤣

Mcfadz - good signing whoever made it. Buckley, Dolan and Moran changed the pattern but nobody up top to replace Gallagher. Doubt we will play anyone worse than Cardiff so not sure whether to be happy with a point or not
