They are supposed to be professionals.

They should be capable of performing at home even with a noisy away crowd.

Pandering to precocious, cowardly darlings is not ever a good look.

Grow some balls.

Tim Flowers v Liverpool springs to mind. But I would say today’s was worse

Flowers undone by a divot of his own making.

Pears, well I can't understand that one at al

Callum Brittain really pisses me off. Epitome of a fair weather player, cried when we had a manager who had standards. A complete wimp of a player. Doesn't give a shit if we go down he'll be happy to go. Ill be happy to see him go. This lot of players are absolute rats.

He's a coward.

The only "robust" tackle he made was a needless one conceding a free kick by our corner flag.

Usually wimps out, when not passing backwards.

I cannot stand that specimen.

Let us hope that 49 points and GD is enough.

We will get nothing v Coventry or Leicester. Nowt.

You can't blame Eustace for that.

He's the manager, he selects the team, he "inspires" them.

The on field display shits on his desk.

I give up with these fucking wanking cunts.

Fuck off and take the twat Eustace too.

Pen all day long. Clear handball. 

 

I see pep is moaning about the scheduling like he doesn't have two starting 11s that could beat any team outside of Liverpool and Arsenal with ease. 

It went to VAR, I think Atwell, say no more. A useless piece of paid for garbage.

100 % a penalty.

It's gone beyond incompetence into very dark areas.

Pep? Simply a fuckwit trying and failing to impersonate a sensible person.

If, and, as a pessimist, I think we will lose this then we're deep in the shit.

I know we beat Leeds the other week but prior to that we were absolutely abject.  We've won two under Eustace since he came in, our home form is absolutely abysmal.   

This squad needs quality injecting into it- the sum of the parts and all that..

Players like Buckley would be a lot more useful if they had pacey wingers and proper target men to play off.. 

Without that I think we're a very poor squad.

Objectively I don't see why we win today? Two bad sides in not the best form. However Sheff Weds must go into this one with a bit more belief. They were marooned before Christmas and have dragged themselves into contention. Conversely we were 'safe' and have been pulled into it.. 
 
Who knows, toss a coin. Can't say I am confident though.  If we lose this I think we go down on GD.

If we lose today, and I also think that's a real possibility, GD may be what saves us from oblivion, for this season at least.

The PL, the best league in the world, or so the propaganda says.

After the quarterfinal stage of all the European completions it's just Villa left, and that's in the lowest level Conference.

Just maybe you ain't as good as you'd like us to believe you are.

Last night Villa got lucky, Liverpool were shite, and if I watch WHU I would question my sanity.

City and Arsenal, good riddance you boring, boring tippy tappers.

""iFollow and club streaming services will be replaced in the UK next season as part of Sky Sports’ new five-year English Football League (EFL) broadcast deal.

All midweek fixtures in the Championship, League One and League Two will be shown live on Sky from the 2024-25 campaign to 2028-29.

These fixtures had previously been available to watch in the UK on EFL subscription service iFollow and clubs’ in-house streaming services, plus on Sky’s red button.

A Sky Sports statement read: "From the 2024/25 season onward, this agreement makes more matches available to stream and will effectively replace the current Sky Sports EFL red button coverage and the EFL's domestic streaming option provided via iFollow and club streaming services.

"Domestic streaming audio services will remain alongside existing audio-visual arrangements for international audiences via iFollow and club streaming services."

iFollow was first introduced by the EFL in 2017.""

I don't get the people bemoaning them getting a 7k allocation. Yes Waggott is a cock regardless but a full Darwen end hasn't done too much harm this season, Newcastle arguably our best home performance? A full Elland Road didn't seem to give them much of an edge at weekend either. Just seems like another reason to moan.

Completely agree.

At the low level I played the biggest crowd was about 2,000 and the lowest was a man out walking his dog.

I know which I preferred, the more the merrier.

Sammie will enjoy scoring at the Darwen End and hushing up 7,000

Some really strange results over the weekend, non more so than the mighty Ross Country beating Rangers for the first time in the clubs history, handing the title to Celtic.......

Rovers, Villa and Ross County all against the odds and I saw all 3 games. A good weekend.

For the record I like both Rangers and Celtic. I saw the Celtic European Cup victory live on TV back in the day. Jim Baxter a big reason for liking Rangers.

Very good.

You asked the question.  The original initiative was from We Are The Rovers the Supporters Trust; it is clearly within our remit and aims to build and rebuild lost support.

We approached the Club who were supportive.  We were actively supported by formal supporters organisations such as Proud Rovers, the South Asian Supporters.  We also had the backing of a number of people from this messageboard including Ian Herbert who did some excellent work and his input cannot be underestimated.

It was, to reiterate, an award for a specific We Are The Rovers initiative involving other groups and a lot of decent folk from brfcs.com

I am proud of the award and hopefully it puts WATR in an even stronger position to influence the Club.

Thank you to everyone on this board, particularly Ian Herbert, 4000 Holes and Roverschat.  If I have missed anyone out I am happy to be chastised.

Thank you for confirming what I understood from the time the event occured.

It is to be hoped that the CEO apportions the credit for the award to those who facilitated it.

I will await Waggott's announcement.

Of course some of these die hards (specifically the Scottish based ones) could try supporting their local teams and maybe Scottish football wouldn’t be so skewed…

That is an amazingly stupid viewpoint.

Maybe I will be told to support Bangkok United.

One event covers up a multitude of sins.

We played Waggott, you fecking conman.

I can just imagine how this award is being sold to the owners.

Whose original initiative was this????

How tf have we won that? The only club in the country NOT to increase our attendances significantly post-Covid.

I wonder if the Rangers players will call a meeting with fan groups to express their disgust at being booed and abused after their first ever loss to Ross County.

It would make a great video.

It looked liked Klopp said "wow" after Palace scored that well constructed goal in which AW played an important part.

History shows us, he’ll be up against it with these owners. They’ll always pull the plug on anything that is going well for the club. They won’t want us doing well. 

Promotion would scare them. So, we can’t have that happening. Let’s sell most of the team.

There you go, promotion gone for another year…

And so the circle is complete.

Job done, failed Promotion (again).

Like this season the plan will be just to stay in the Championship.

It "suits" the project......

The last 6 matches looked, on paper, as tough as it gets,many were asking where our next point was coming from.

The Bristol game has taken the gloss off a pretty decent run of form, considering our position and who we've played. 

All the above is true.

It's taking me a while to "like" Eustace but when he joined all I asked is that he avoids relegation and he's almost achieved that and I'm confident he will.

He's done the job so starts with a clean slate next season and hope that he gets the support from the Board and owners that all managers deserve.

That was worth a watch to see how pears lived rent free in the slime lickers heads. Although the biggest surprise is I didn’t know those yarkshire knuckle draggers could count so high.

Although one did go from 23 to 40 and fairly swiftly to 55 and 60. To be fair in the 20s these are pretty big numbers for the average Yorkshiremen. He definitely earned his gold star A for effort.

That being said I’ll add the caveat keepers wasting time does normally annoy me. I think they have 8 seconds to hold the ball but it really isn’t uncommon to see them hold it for 15-20 seconds and I’ve never seen it ever punished. 

We got a break with a lenient Ref but we did push the envelope quite a bit.

The speed counting of seconds was good fun.

It's quite scary how a faction are so persistent in ripping JDT a new one, usually without the context of what he had to deal with by way of lack of support from above and later on the players, led by the trio of disloyal shit houses in Wharton, Brittain and Hyam.

Eustace, let's see how he does next season when he experiences the same.

JDT suffered as he followed GOD, aka Mowbray, and the disciples never forgave him for that.

You'll get what you deserve
