The academy may well be what saves us face this year.

Fuck me, that’s dreamland! Double the last Girona game?

Let’s not forget this is a side that beat Real Madrid in April, they’re no mugs. That 16 looks handy!

Convinced my dad and his best mate to come, plus my Wigan fan uncle. Hopefully we can nudge past 3,000, but 5k+ would be dreamland.

Let me talk to ya. The momentum picked up by a guy who has spent a lacklustre 20 years busting a gut and trying and trying and trying again has made a relatable legend in-the-making. He’s simply (but very effectively and entertainingly) a throwback to the attitude era, combining aspects of each of the Mount Rushmore of WWE, and it’s astounded me that he is actually an incredibly humble guy off camera. He describes his character as himself at a party melded with himself in an argument, and turned up to 11. No wonder he feels so authentic. I’m back into wrestling because of this guy, and I’ve completely bought in to the megastar. Who’s game is it? Well everybody’s sayin’ L A Knight, YEAH!

So in other words… What he means to say is… Well, frankly, I can’t put it any simpler!

Probably would’ve hated defending against him.

Their version of the spread is also a game changer’

My dad will like him. Always said the hardest strikers to defend against have a massive arse.

Still about 500 more than the last Girona game.

I do appreciate it, but it’s a mess of their own making. Raising standards (I don’t even mean promotion) would ease the financial burden on them by bringing fans back to Ewood and therefore enticing higher sponsorships from outside the club. It’s not all that difficult really.

Peter Shilton was often quoted: ’Brian Cloughie bought the first million pound player and for some reason later him on the right wing!’ Have say the price was irrelevant when his debut in the European Cup was for Forest, in the final, and scored the winning goal. A proper Roy of the Rovers.

Dougie converted my dad from being a Rangers fan, age 11. Saw a Rovers v Preston game on the way down to Cheltenham to break the day up. Dougie remains his favourite ever player and was (age 76) giddy and awestruck like a child when meeting him at the Hall of Fame events before Covid.

Mornington Crescent!

It happens to me occasionally (Twitter embedding in particular), but a quick page refresh usually does the trick.

I follow the Footy Scran facebook page and there are some amazing (and cheap) offerings. Rovers could easily provide our own local delicacies at cheap enough prices #JohnBulls Hell, I’d even quite like Venkys to try providing their chicken just to provide something a bit different than the usual. And how hard can it be to get a decent ale on tap?

To show Rovers what can be achieved as a match day experience with just a touch of fan engagement.

How do we submit playlist requests?

I play ‘TeamKickabout’ at Accy on Fridays, shall I lace up?

Love me so Joe Roberto-Carlos!

As much as I complained about the tactical choice to use as few subs as possible, the fact that so many of our players lasted 90 minutes so often is testament to JDT and the fitness regime, as is the fact we (I believe?) used the fewest number of players in the Championship across the whole season while doing so.

I feel like his capability in midfield is what makes him such a great RB, would personally rather him stay there for now, as he puts the willies up the opposition lefties.

That is fucking funny 😆

Good choices there imo. Only change I’d make is swapping Barnes and Carter round to even up the defensive experience and allow Barnes to play cub, while Carter has more experience filling in at full back.

Bought Girona tix 🙂 cheap as chips! Well, probably cheaper than the actual chips at Rovers…
