Mike E

I think they plan on taking the Ledley King approach…

Like I said, my favourites, not the best. I toyed with putting Dack behind Jansen. For the best I’ve seen, I agree with Chaddy’s team.

Completely agree with that team. I’m going to go a different way and give my favourite X1 (not best, just my favourites): Friedel Emerton Samba Amoruso Warnock Thompson Tugay Flitcroft Duff McCarthy Jansen Managed by Sparky ofc.

I think it depends on your definition of ‘best’ footballer. Of those I’ve seen live: Most effective? Shearer. Talent on the ball? Tugay. My dad says ‘Douglas wipes the floor with both’.

A couple of days after Hulk Hogan’s passing, it’s now being reported that Mr. America has also gone missing.

Absolutely top notch reference

I’m not mourning Hogan because he was an arsehole. I’m mourning the bit of my childhood that has gone. Remember my dad watching Smackdown with me once in 2003 and a Piper’s Pit segment came on. My dad liked Roddy Piper so started paying attention, apparently someone called Mr America was going to debut. Then Hogan’s old music hit (unbeknownst to me) and my then 59yo dad ‘popped’ like an absolute child 🤣

Need an in-between striker. A Danny Graham type.

Now now, get off that fence and tell us what you REALLY think…

That’s like questioning the reality of being a Rover 🤣

Just wide at Old Trafford…

If Rovers had anything about them, they’d have a space for him at Ewood to be a barber for fans.

I’m shocked too. It suits infant sizes, being the colour of vomit.

I’m think Pedersen because of the set pieces, but even a Bargain Bert would be a great find.

Adding the goal to everything I’ve read about DeNeve… Have we found the Poundshop Pedersen?

I think that print would’ve worked on the green kit (which I like, and reflects the colours of the town badge). In this, it doesn’t work imo. Would’ve been better to have in subtle font the names of the greats who have played for our club instead of copy/paste landmark pictures.

They were extensively scouted by a tried and trusted scouting team with Premier League experience and knowledge. Their cost was not the reason they were bought but their potential ability. The current incomings appear to be scouted based on what we can spend and what their FootballManager ratings are by a scouting team that hasn’t remained intact for longer than 6 months since Covid.

Seriously, all any new owner would have to do initially is get rid of these bullshit charges, and introduce a ‘new era’ ST of £250 all over the ground. Just be the antithesis of Venky Rovers re: actual engagement with fans. The money/investment wouldn’t matter half as much with competent ownership.

Just watch it all go to cock.

My dad played in a charity friendly of some sort in the late 90s, I think it was something to do with the PFA as I remember him saying Gordon Taylor was involved. Dad is about 10 years older than Robertson but could outrun him easily. ’The problem I had was that Robertson slowed you down to his level so you couldn’t actually run anywhere, almost froze you to the spot. Then he’d suddenly grab a yard past you and put a ball in with either foot. And that ball ALWAYS went to his striker, made you feel a right mug being beaten by a guy who couldn’t tackle a good fish supper, but what magical feet.’ My dad also regarded Robertson as the best player in Europe for a good 4/5years when Clough and Taylor were at Forest.

I don’t think Brittain (or Sammie come to think of it) refused to play, did they? They just asked (not demanded) to be allowed to speak to other clubs instead of playing and were granted it. Happens more often than you’d think tbh. But I do agree IF it was an outright ‘refusal’ to play despite the manager’s wishes, then yes that crosses ‘the Gestede line’.

But you do need one to rule out re-injury.

WTF is this club playing at? Braindead the lot of them.

Baradji seems to be an ‘engine room’ powerful marauding athletic type, like Steven Reid.

Whoever joked about it being from Yverdon Sports should have a prize!
