I had Stokes vibes about it a long time ago and to be honest it's beginning to feel like history is about to repeat itself from that period in the not too distant.

Remember Simon Jordan getting a zinger about Stokes.

Apparently in trouble for hitting an Ellis impersonator, Jordan said something like ‘I paid him a fortune to impersonate a footballer’ 😂

Without hyperbole, one of the most soul destroying days I've experienced as a rovers fan

This is up there with the day we sold Duff. Or that game vs Bolton (14/01/06) when Jansen returned as an away player.

@rigger who's the next academy grad to step up? We currently have Garrett, Tronstad, who's the next best academy player?

Atcheson. Similar level to Phillips in JDT’s first season imo. Probably Roy (Rory?) Finneran after that.

That was leaving his hotel, by looks of it. On way to Brockhall?

Take this with a pinch of salt, but I’m told there’s at least 4 players including Ennis and Gilsnan that are waiting to for loan moves away from the club but JDT is refusing to approve anything until someone clarifies exactly who, if anyone, is signing. 

GOOD!

Imagine if after all this, we sign McGuire and Brekalo, plus Ackermann…

Imagine…

Pretty sure @TommyRovers has been pretty spot on in the past?

If I remember rightly, he ran the Batth cock-up.

Not going to the QPR game is a better way to tell them how you feel. 

Shouting ‘We want Venkys Out’ from my settee?

The moral bankruptcy of this has genuinely stunned me.

Fuck off Venkys. Wish it were fucking snowing.

Get to the QPR game. Tell Venkys how you feel.

Get to the QPR game. Tell Venkys how you feel.

Get to the QPR game. Tell Venkys how you feel.

Well Gregg if your reading this thread all I ask for is one thing. Please do not take the player/players out for a slap up meal until it's confirmed by the authorities! Not much to ask

Aye, they can eat after signing the contract! Take them Maccies afterwards or sommet.

Did we piss someone off?

Maybe we’ve annoyed them by going for the defender they wanted.

BUT Nathan Jones is known for BSing.

Difference being I don't get triggered and call players dogshit etc, then call those said players amazing after we scored/won.

Embarrassing, keep up...

I don’t think it’s ‘embarrassing’ to react with disdain after our form since just before Christmas, then going 1-0 down to a L1 team.

I do think it’s embarrassing to judge those who did, though.

I've been giving it plenty of clog all day to the point where posters have been asking how to block me.

Nothing to do with Wharton, dude 😝

I feel sick.

I'm sure all of those who are close to Vince know exactly what he's about - although probably not to the absolute depths the lawsuit describes. Triple H gave a shitty answer from a PR perspective at the RR presser by claiming he hadn't read the suit and just wanted to "focus on the positives". I figured he'd have something smarter than that to say. Cody did a much better job with his answer.

I haven't watched WWE for a while, but I did watch the Rumble. 

Women's match was really good. I thought it was paced well, did a good job interweaving storylines throughout, had some nice surprise entrants and there wasn't any definitive favourite to win the match. I thought they'd go with Jade, but I'm cool with Bayley as well. 

Fatal four way was a good match but it's obvious Roman isn't dropping the belt before WM, so a bit pointless really. Can't believe they're still doing the Bloodline screwjob finishes. Talk about overdoing something. 

Logan Paul and Kevin Owens was pretty decent. Not much more to say than that.

The men's rumble was utterly boring to me. Nothing particularly interesting happened throughout, the winner was obviously going to be Cody, other than Andrade (meh) and McAfee (eliminated himself after 38 seconds) there were no surprise entrants and no legends. Last year's rumble was really boring to me, and this one was as well. The current roster simply doesn't have the star power and charisma of previous generations. Also some really questionable late entry choices. Ricochet at #28? Sami Zayn as #30? Right, okay. I did read that the original plan was for Lesnar to be there, but that got nixed after last week's revelations. I'm not sure his appearance changes the dynamic of the match much though - we've seen it before with Lesnar. 

Anyway, yeah... to use a Gen Z term, the men's rumble was very "mid" from my perspective. 

 Bron Breakker took Lesnar’s exact role allegedly. Which is actually disappointing as he should be an entrant to oppose Lesnar imo.

Definitely needed some more legend sprinkling in there. I feel likes of X-PAC, Scotty2Hotty, would put on a decent show with a decent pop. Maybe even fully retired types like Kane/Kurt Angle could do it?

I think the main ‘boredom’ factor is that you can’t pop to any wrestling music anymore. It’s all very generic. Where are the catchphrases, the glass smashes, the Jim Johnston stuff?

Every time I watch Gally’s goal, the calm finish impresses me even more. A daisy-cutter from that far out doesn’t normally go in.

JRC is my favourite player at the moment. He’s superb. 

Ditto. Skill and hard work. Aggressive too, and not in a chickenshit way like Trav.

Joe Roberto Carlos kept that ball superbly again!
