Hey Why the fu** is Matteo and Flitcroft playing??? And where is Gray and Pedersen??? What is Hughes doing.... if we loose today we can surely criticise his coaching!!! Matteo is crap.......so crap crap crap.. And Short is getting too slow and old now. We should have started with this side: Friedel Neill, Todd, Nils-Eric, Gray Emerton, Ferguson, Pedersen, Reid Stead or Gally, Bothroyd Dickov is annoying me at the moment....he miss sitters... Thompson isn't match fit enough but good to throw on in the last 20 min. Thanks for listening....hope Im wrong today about the team and that the players getting their chance shines.

Martin O'Neill at Celtic has to be my obvious choice as manager, heard that he needs a new challenge!! read this: http://rangers.openfootball.co.uk/article....=3729&newsnow=1

looks like we won't get any players with souness as he is regarded to be hard to work with, took this from a fulham website:

ok Lee, sorry.

[image removed as it is already on the appropriate thread] A picture on Volpato on his trial game with rovers! (can be found on the mystery trialist thread - RICKY)

Nissa and Amoruso seems to play the full game!! Short the only player not to get on.

48 mins: Goal for Rovers, Gresko puts in a cross from the left, and a Prague defender tries to remove Stead's shirt for him. De Pedro cooly slots home from the penalty spot. Rovers 1 Bohemians Prague 0

According to admin at the official site it seems that Vratty Gresko is playing really well in Germany so now it may be a full fight for the left back position between Vratty, Gray and McEvely!!! NICE!! Also Nissa is pushing for a starting place in the back four.

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooo why? He just wan't to try him on that position, it's what the pre season games is all about.

Is all the other players on the bench or will someone not play today?

Nice to see Nissa playing so much in the pre season games, maybe it could build up the young back's self confidence and he may be a hit this season! Lets hope we've got a real gem in him!

From an interview with Andy Cole on Fulham official website: SO THERE'S STILL PLENTY IN THE TANK? Absolutely. I'm 32 but there's a lot of fire in my stomach. I had a difficult two years at Blackburn but as a result of that I've got a lot of desire. It's when that desire burns out that I've got to call it quits, but that's a long way off. I'm still loving my football and I still want to score goals. Bullocks.... he didn't have the desire when he played for us....good he got rid.

I think youre putting so much effort into trying to make sensible points all you are managing to do is create humour. For one thing Djorkaeff has left Bolton, but I'm pleased DePedro likes to challenge players and shoot ! Well Djorkaeff hasn't left according to their official website...

Yes but according to Souness we now have a great team spirit and probably Bolton had that last year and a bit of lady luck in some games but if we can have the same spirit and luck we may well end the season on a high. I've got great feelings about it! We now have a whole team to replace the first team, 2 staring elevens who seems to be good and with one or two extensions now when Cole, Yorke and Todd has left we may be a force this season.

It's my own views. What do you believe?

I believe both Jansen and Gally are better strikers.

When I look at all the teams that finished 10th or down it looks like we have a better squad that all of them, just to compare with Bolton we have a much stronger squad: If we look at their players at their positions: Friedel -----> Jaskelainen (both are good international goalkeepers) Neill ------> Hunt (Neill is far more experienced than this guy) Amoruso -----> Ngotty (Amo is great on set pieces and a great marker) Matteo ------> Jaidi ) don't know about Jaidi, Matteo is class when fit?) Gray ------> Gardner (Gardner is faster but Gray is a better tackler) Emerton -----> Giannakopoulus (Emerton is a better crosser and player) Ferguson ----> Campo (Campo's old and Ferguson hungry for success) Thompson -----> Djorkaeff (Two trickery players well worth watching, but Djorkaeff is getting old) De Pedro ------> Okocha (two players whom like to challenge players and shoot) Stead ------> Davies (Stead's got more pace, better shot and is better in many aspects) Gallacher ----> Bridges or Ferdinand (Well you've all seen Gallys enthusiasm in the game and his pace and shooting skills, Ferdy is singing on his last swansong and Bridges is off the hill totally) When you look at the bench they look weak comparing to us so if they get injuries they'll face big problemas. What do you think?

After these two games I hope we will lineup: Friedel Neill, Amoruso, Matteo, Gray Emerton, Thompson, Ferguson, De Pedro Gallacher, Stead Bench Gresko (looks lively down the left, can come in for De Pedro if he stalls) Jansen (fighting with Gally for a starting place) Tugay (can come in to the game with calm) Douglas (can settle in at any place) Enckelman (well you need a goalkeeper replacement) Others: Dickov (he'll be happy if he gets on the bench) Reid (may get a chance if injury) McEvely (if Gray gets injured) Flitcroft (dont really know) Johansson (if centrebacks gets injured so) Short (too old and slow now) Anyone agree??

I think it will be the team and I think the subs may be: Gally, Jansen, Neill or Douglas, Thompson and Enckelman

no trialist on pitch.....Gally scoring the opening goal from a Gresko knockback!

Great Mr. Volpato scoring again or what??? SIGN Him noW!!

does anyone know the lineup for todays games?

Thanks for calling me an idiot.... So nice re rovers supporters.....well....I've supporting rovers since the 1992 season when rovers got up to the premier league....I was 11 years old... I love rovers and I just wanted to discuss the black player thing but now it's an end to it. I'll pull a plug on it.. Have I been mean?

Please, just stop. Why do you keep putting two posts where one would suffice? I forgot to post it in the same window.

In one of the English newspapers today, The Sunday People, after criticising Dwight Yorke, Souness was quoted as saying: "I only want to have hard-working players at the club now" It makes you wonder if Souness is implying that black players in general don't work hard.
