Gonna be plenty of added time here.

Orange

Solid start. Not sure about booing Rothwell.

Ayari starting again today at Anfield. Seems like we could have got more out of him.

I can't listen to them anymore. I get they're not neutral but we do have eyes.

Borderline.

Source?

Why are people saying it has to be deliberate to be handball? That's not true right?

Not a classic.

Hedges trying to outdo the old Gamst dive there. Booked. Sound issues AGAIN on the Rovers feed.

Don't see Pickering playing much this season. Been upgraded.

Surely gonna be a surge now on the Yuki shirts?

Obviously Pears is crap but that shot looked unstoppable to me. Hyam a bit slow to close down I thought.

Can't say BBD didn't learn anything on his travels.

What are RoversTV up to? Do they just not own functional equipment or what? Sounds like a dodgy cable to me.

Was just thinking this was one of the better games Pears has had. Then he nearly gifts them a goal and gets cut open my Tronstad covering his error.

They look wide open could be a few more goals if we fancy it. Kit looks nice on TV.

It's channel sky sports + event 40 on my service if that helps at all

https://www.rovers.co.uk/news/2024/august/09/watch-rovers-against-the-rams-live-/ Don't even know what day we're playing despite the article being published the same day as the game. Stellar work, as ever.

Pears as our #1 this season will not be pretty.

Can we get a 'you know' count on that interview? We were a bit spoiled with JDT I think in that sense. Still calling us Blackburn too.

In terms of who goes first it can't really be any fairer than 50/50 can it? When I watch back some shootouts it's amazing how far the keepers came off their lines which they wouldn't get away with now. But I do agree that the balance has swung a bit far in favour of the taker, with how they now do the feints in the run up. How to address it though? Would you allow keepers to move off the line?

I do enjoy a shootout and was a bit gutted we didn't get one in the Spain Vs Germany game. Still hear ignorant pundits talking about how pens are a lottery. It's a technical skill along with a huge mental element. Pretty clear that despite how shit they have been England have practised pens. I see the Copa America is going straight to pens after 90 mins and that's fine with me. Extra time is usually terrible..

Credit for the pens, more or less perfect and Pickford always likely to save one. Absolute shite otherwise. Think the goal was only shot on target in 120 mins?
