I liked his withering put down to John Oliver (whom I also like). Oliver: In your multiverse theory, is it possible there's a Universe where I'm smarter than you? Hawking: Yes, and also one where you are funny.

Not a good week, this...

You said 'young' and 'experience'(sic) which is 2 perceived age brackets.

Like those YouTube vids where people interrupt a Will Self monologue with Family Guy quotes.

I knew that ...

I believe that without his pace, he is basically a version of Craig Conway (when we first signed him) that is left-footed. Therefore, his quality is at least that of mid table Championship even before he starts running. It's unusual for someone with pace to have a proper engine too, I've only seen it at Rovers with Bellamy. Maybe Dickov at a push.

Looks like he's stuck on the bench for now with those comments.

I'd be terrified!

Contrast ToMo's view on booing to Paul Hurst's. Might be something as simple as that bit of nous that gets us up.

Think VAR would be improved by limiting it's use in a similar way to tennis. Give each manager 3 challenges to ref decisions. If overturned, keep. If not, it's lost. Can only be applied to penalties or offsides or red card fouls. All VAR time must be added to the match end. Like Hawkeye, ref doesn't just use it when he fancies.

Makes yoù miss proper pundits. Wolstenholme, Clough, hell even Tony Gubba would be welcome compared to Jermaine Jenas.

I think if we were clear in 2nd without risk of falling back to third, or if we were trapped in the playoff places (can't fall out or get to 2nd), that's when we'll try younger players.

That was absolutely sublime!

A fine of one week's wage ought to do it.

So why play it at the moment fans actually DO make noise? Counterintuitive to create noise that drowns out the only noise fans may make.

I think VAR is great! It's simple, it's modern and long overdue. Personally would like to see weekly wage fines (by the FA) to any player seen hounding the ref after he's made a decision and the money donated to grassroots. Let the referee referee!

What is 20 goals in our current league under our current manager from a World Cup winner, if it's not 'proven quality'?

Rumour is he was shoved out wide there, hence we've been able to sign him.

So despite being known as a Rovers fan amongst our politicians for several years now (even before LibDem leadership), him being regularly seen at Ewood by many different people, him speaking against Venky's, him getting full marks in a Rovers quiz (including the unbelievably specific 'points below Utd' question that many of our obsessive best on here didn't know), you think he's not a Rovers fan?

Did you completely miss the 'Farron criticises Venky's' article posted above? He's no less vocal than Jack or Will Straw over the last few years. Graham Jones has been more vocal ofc, but he isn't the leader of a party. Being leader of a party means you have to dilute some of your own views to ensure you have the backing of your whole party. Look how May and Corbyn are 'presenting' more central than their respective right and left wing views. If Farron kept talking about Rovers, it'd render his political influence even lower than it is now.

You still don't know. It was 8 ?

You're the 3rd one on this page...

I think the 2 cms vs Crewe have to be Richie and Willem. After he clearly made a difference today, Tomlinson needs the chance to prove he can go 90mins in the engine room imo. With both players having good engines, good strength and tackling and able to play the simple balls wide or through Dack, they could be a great midfield.

You noticed ?
