Are you all rambling on about Lio's escapades or Adebayor's swan dive on Saturday? Because the latter was clearly a dive and the former was taking protective measures in response to a ridiculous, out of control challenge. It's disgusting that Del Horno is getting a relatively 'free ride'... just moments before he had planted a two stud welt on Messi's knee and even had he not seen red, it was a matter of time before he'd do it again, as he was never close to properly tackling the kid.

As for the 'New' Maradona... I personally hope it isn't the case as the original never stops embarrassing his countrymen. I just hope Messi is Messi and stays healthy--

Hughes for Premiership Mgr of the Year makes me very nervous, FLB !

I don't want to lose our Manager just yet !!!!

Barisk--

Do not take offense ---- jobo was saying that in jest, as it was a bit funny. Enjoy the match.. althou if you have other pressing business, you could shut off the telly as the Arse get Nothing !!!! Go Rovers

Cheers.

Al

Are we are in pucker up time?

How much stoppage time?

What was the nature of Gamst's injury, was it serious? I"m flying blind at the moment....

Oh, that.... don't worry LeChuck...

that was yesterday !!!

Don't forget to add Aguero as the next new Maradona.

(check out Independiente FC)

The Arse looked a good side because the lily whites allowed them the luxury,

when was the last time RM ever played defence? And I'm not referring to kicking lumps out of their opponents' legs.

I would imagine Rovers will look to lock down the freewheeling aspect of the Arse's game and will more than make a match of it--Sparky will make certain of it.

C'mon lads, where's the proper attitude? This is good side be positive -- all's not lost !

I'd like to echo those congratulations!

Good times to be a Rovers' supporter, may Sparky's tenure

continue for many a year.

(knowing fully well that's not to be )

On the other side of the coin, lets' not forget that

Jonny Stead also factored in the U21 as a Rover

and look where's that's gone.

Am I missing something?? Where's everybody?

Very lonesome in here today!

C'mon Rovers, let's make it 2-0 for halftime.

Abbey...

Aren't you a bit perturbed that Jan scored a lower score than you?? or me,

for that matter......

I just scored a 46%... am I highest score?

What a tremendous honour !

Phil you read my mind.... are NOTW Brasil in disguise?

If find it very odd that this so-called paper has embarked on this dodgy

mission now as the calendar rounded in January... very odd.

Abbey.....that's two Shemale references in two different threads in one day...

Mods, is that sometype of mark?

EDIT: I stand corrected.... three references if

you count Tranny...

Not that I'm fixated or anything... Abs, me friend, seek counsel

I think the 'hairdryer' probably doesn't have the wattage it used to.

Bentley !

Hope Sparky paid for this lad in full yesterday... as the Arses now demand more $$ for him!

c'mon you Blues..

Holy crap ! What is going on here.....

Geordies down 0-2 @ half. auf Wiedersehen Souey?

I'm not sure about Goran, but I think I read in a biography somewhere that Eric clapton was a big Baggies fan ....

Good read, BF.

It was a hectic month & the cup competitions will be missed. Den,

since this column has proven to be so successful perhaps we can

introduce the proverbial other side of this coin ? I was thinking perhaps

Vinjay can submit his own take on the months goings-on from his padded

cell in elba.

what do you think?

We need to fill ewood to the rafters and

show the manx our love ! c'mon you blues'

Well done the preview !

I 'd just noticed that as well, Phil...

Perhaps that would cause me to change over to home #3, but

I still think a red accent gives the blue/white business a more

complete look.

2nd. home & by process of elimination: 3rd. away as the least disagreable option.

As someone else has stated, we should use the red/black away kit from '95 every year! I know we had it go at it last term, but it wasn't the same.

Bring back take shade of red & never put the badge over the heart. Lastly, I agree the halves always look best with a flash of red-- that's why the piping on the last Euro kit was so stunning. C'mon Rovers bring it back & move the badge over the heart. (That's a universal sentiment, isn't it?)

Despite the numerous complaints heard here, i'm impressed that the club seems to be moving to a more fan friendly or more inclusive policy.. perhaps they've not got it totally right, but there's a effort being made & for that: Kudos.

Dr.Ryan...

Yes, silly barsteward that I am... i've a feeling this machine will not make it out of this cave ! C'mon Rovers.

God Bless you, big BRAD!

Goal !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Reidy !!!!!!!!!
