Leonard Venkhater

The Scott Wharton thing brought genuine joy, as we watched on TV... And I ended up telling my offspring about the League Liner and a previous away win at Watford with goals from Endean, Napier and Field... Over 50 years ago!!

A cigarette before the firing squad?

It's not all rosy again, but I do think there is something in what you say. The buzz of a win lances the boil/diminishes the energy for the (necessary) protest......temporarily..

NOT..according to Andy Bayes...

Agree totally. Even when I was boycotting under Kean and Coyle, I still kicked every ball and cheered any Rovers goal! Surely, it is possible to despise Venky's, have grave misgivings about Gestede and Suhail...yet enjoy a good away win... On the other hand, someone said to me yesterday, it's a bit like getting a lovely new guitar, when you have just received a terminal diagnosis! I guess it is summed up by the old phrase: "Love Rovers/Hate Venky's"..

Eustace would be a good shout!

I think Tavares will be able to play his way up to speed. He has clearly got something... Nzonzi took a while lol

I think we have been badly let down by local radio and press..

Agreed. I can't help wondering if there is a deliberate functionality in the actual churn produced. Who gains etc?

Yeah, it might be handy if the flags were not blocked at the entrance...and I witnessed this happening to a supporter of many years with a completely non-abusive flag...

Honest questions..Do you think that the plan enacted by Suhail and Gestede will make Rovers a better team? What is your assessment of the risks entailed?

So....20% to the selling club, 20% to the surgeon....60% to the agent?

Sounds great. Can I order ten of the blue ones with the "Gestede is a gobshyte" logo?

And they are busy trying to sell it as a reasonable decision! Also, we have history of selling two centre halves and relegation..... Gestede is a gobshyte...I just can't listen to him without needing to find a hole to be sick in...

Something shit...

Next, the club will be doing a deal with Scales funeral service

Ooh, Matron!

Yeah...just like a few others hmmm

I remember someone telling me years ago that Nixon was in cahoots with the agents...and to be wary of the agenda behind any Rovers related transfer story...

My own disease was profound anger!

Wilsden is absolutely correct. You don't even need Latin O' level to know there is no genitive case here...it never, ever was "of"! 100% BY....

Waggott, himself, said he brought Eustace in... Re two factions, in the early days, I always wondered whether the two factions reflected two different owners...

...and his head in a polythene bag...

100%.. And there is so much known about the negative impact of a bullying culture on morale, performance, staff retention-in particular, the impact on the motivation of an organisation's best staff.. I always felt that our positive culture/camaraderie etc was a key reason that the team managed to punch so far above its weight-particularly under Eustace. Now, not only has that been eroded, it seems to have been replaced by the polar opposite. So, do we think this more or less likely to help the team survive a very challenging season?
