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…

Is this the away kit? On Macron site…

Love that shirt. Even the Cambridge blue accent has grown on me (I had expected red).

If you’re new.

Sort of, but given that you have to buy a sky package then bolt Sports onto it really puts me off. Ends up being £80-ish if I’m not mistaken? For just TV and Sports?

He was a bang average manager. Not great, not bad. Bang average. However, the moment he turned on fans, he should’ve been off. ‘They need to understand that Shearer and Sutton aren’t here anymore’. Fuck off you twat, there are at least two generations of fans that don’t even remember them playing for us (starting with mine).

They’ll beat the shite out of you, but they’ll give you directions to the hospital.

‘Capable of’ being the key part.

Finneran’s agent is a pal of mine, and he says he tries to emulate Roy Keane in his style of play. Personally think he does a solid impression, he’s hard defensively, but equally capable of bursting forward. I think we’ll be talking about him in a similar vein as we spoke about Jones and now Wharton. Capable of being a generational talent.

Sorry for my reaction last night and earlier today, I get very touchy about this place 😅 Hopefully the following is a bit more measured and might explain (not excuse) my reaction: I also completely agree with gooz’s post, but imo your agreement with it doesn’t really mesh with the part of your original post with which I took umbrage: When asked several times by different members for your suggestions to improve the experience in a different way, you offered nothing but ‘I’ll put a free adblocker on’, which I found to both mean you didn’t want to help the site, nor did you actually mean your original post. It felt to me as if you were antagonising an admin team that works bloody hard, even more so than us mods. I apologise for getting as wound up as I did and replying to you how I did, but my feelings were genuine when I posted, rightly or wrongly.

Not a lawyer I’d want, without any care for detail or nuance. A state prosecutor in the US, per chance?

You haven’t ‘given feedback’, you’ve used a minor quibble to actively have a go at people doing what you used to do. That’s what grinds. The facade of ‘it’s just feedback’ doesn’t match the snidey judgement that permeates what you say. IF you don’t believe you’re being snidey, then it’s clear you haven’t actually read any of the initial or subsequent posts on the topic since the ads were first introduced, or you wouldn’t have bothered to start what you did.
