[Archived] Should Dunny Have Come Home?
LeftWinger replied to blinddevotion's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
Sort of related. Does anyone think we should try and loan Jon Obi Mikel from Chelsea in January? Apparantly he's fallen out with Mourinho due to his poor attitude in training - and he hasn't been in the Chelsea squad since being sent off on his debut. I know we don't want players with poor attitude in training - but it'd give him a chance to show Mourinho what he could do - so he'd have to perform well for us. Mourinho claimed him to be one of the worlds best young players when he signed him - I think he could do a job for us in the short-term. -
I'm surprised you haven't heard of Foster. He is a Premiership regular - and has been in very good form this season. Went from being a chef to the England squad in just a few years. As for the squad. How on earth does Kieran Richardson get in? He's the biggest waste of space I've ever seen.

"Then probably the miss of the season came after Saha's shot was too much for Friedel to handle and the resulting parry fell to Rooney only for the scouser to miscue with little left to do!" I've seen far worse misses this season. Did anyone see Fabregas and Rosickys misses against CSKA at the Emirates? They were both far worse.

[Archived] Vinjay's Latest Rant
LeftWinger replied to Glenn's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
In fairness - you do raise some interesting points Vinjay - but then shoot yourself in the foot in other places. So Rovers fans are too lazy to do anything about Williams? Then you go on to say you didn't go to the BRISA AGM as you "doubt you would be able to restrain yourself listening to Williams lies" I'm not happy with us being mediocre either - but I think we're actually doing pretty well on a limited budget. We're in a bad patch - but we'll come through it. Rick -

Commons is a class act. Way to good for that division! Is he a Forest fan or was that a dream? -
I want a copy!

Obviously never seen Rachel Unitt - who is a footballer and very much a woman -

Beckhams just to cover for the 37% of games that Dunn will miss based on recent injuries. -
I see what you're saying. However, isn't it the case that the Autobahns are just as safe as English motorways?

Anyone think we should try to sign that David Dunn lad from Birmingham? I heard he used to play for us a long time ago. -

Just out of interest - How does this compare to Racism? When I had questioned whether it was any worse to use a racist insult than call someone fat the arguments were: 1) You can't choose your race 2) Black people suffered years of prejudice Isn't this the same as women? So surely sexism is just as bad as racism - yet it's fine to make sexist jokes on here? I wish someone would print me a set of politically correct rules lol! -

Is Reidy not due back early next year anyway? With Sav, Reid, Toogs and Dunny - sure we could patch up at least two players to put out every week. -
[Archived] Dowie Wins The Sack Race
LeftWinger replied to philipl's topic in Football Messageboard Archive
I like Jordan too! Very good business man - and seems to have a hatred of Big Club. -
I'm personally all for standing at football matches. I know when I went to watch England - Portugal in the summer, a German guy I was sat next to said that Schalke usually had standing areas - which could be converted to seating. If they can have standing sections in Germany - why not here? This would also stop kids/older people from being forced to stand or missing the game. The atmosphere would be a lot better too!

There is no-one who would pay 4m for Dunn. An injury prone player with 6 months of his contract left. I'd personally not like to see us pay more than 1.5m, but or relationship with Big Club probably means they'll try and screw us for at least 2m. I think it's a gamble worth taking - Prodigal son and all that - bring a few fans back IMO. -

Newells comments were outrageous and sexist. I'm all for women officials - as long as they competent at their job and have a nice wrack -

I agree with every word he's said. Women get fast-tracked to the top. I've a mate who's a referee (shameful admission), and he when they had to do a fitness test - there was a girl who failed it comfortably - but they let her through as she was a woman. -

Merchandising: With Beckham on board our world-wide shirt sales would rocket IMO. There would be kids all over the world in Rovers tops - Beckham would bring his own band of supporters. Glory Hunters: We're constantly moaning that we don't get big enough attendancies - and yet you wouldn't "relish" the prospect of an extra 5-8k on the gate (which is what would happen). I don't care if they've never been to a Rovers match in their lives - if it fills the ground up a bit, it will improve the atmosphere, improve performances and make us extra money on the gate. Becks would have to drop his wage demands a bit, I admit this, but he's loaded - and the big factors for him now are getting back in the England squad and keeping the Beckham brand going. As for Rooney, Lampard, Ronaldinho - these would command huge transfer fees - unlike Becks who is 31 and contract up at the end of the season. I'm not having a go Wolverine - just offering an opinion matey -

I'm sure the club will find the £2 they're missing out on somehow -
Leeds are apparantly in for him too - that could be interesting. http://msnsport.skysports.com/list.aspx?hl...ester+-+Le+Tiss Le Tiss has us to get a draw on Saturday.

I bet you've not had many girls stick pictures of current Rovers stars on their exercise books have you? He's a huge name and would do our reputation no end of good! -

Think about it! I'm not going to repeat what others have said - but wages would not be the stumbling block. -

I think Becks will want to go somewhere that he is guaranteed first team football. He's still just short of 100 England Caps - and if he plays regularly I'm sure he'd get back in. -
