I dont think I did write off Smallwood, no.

Im making a comment about whether I would want a player to be signed, I can do that without getting all the "judge him in a Rovers shirt" rubbish, Im not saying I wouldnt but not every signing has to be one that people fully agree with. 

If we signed a 40 year old from non league, would you still make these comments?

Yes he would and you no it

Mowbray could not win our league as a boss at Celtic

In fact no Englishman has as boss

Fergie Dalglish all won EPL as gaffers

So much about our about our pub league ???

I never thought about it like that. 

I see Scottish football in a whole new light now.

Thank you for educating us all.

Egypt are taking a 45-year old goalkeeper with them to the finals. The only downside is he's not their number one from what I can see.

Roger Milla, Carlos Valderrama... Some fantastic oldies have been the finals. Any other golden oldies that anyone can remember?

Roger Milla was my favorite. I remember him dancing round the corner flag when I was 7. It was my first world cup and that's one of the first things I remember about it after that singer missed that penalty in the opening ceremony and they still ripped the goals apart .

Dino zoff played in his 40s for the older lads

What is your point exactly

Cardiff likely to go down and with a 20% relegation wage drop I reckon Middlesbrough would be a better bet. 

Why. He will play in the premier league which will put him in the shop window for teams in the premier league or abroad. Cardiff as unlikely as it is could stay up i.e Huddersfield, Bournemouth, Brighton. Middlesborough have more chance of staying in the championship than getting promotion. It's a no brainier for me 

Al give it a go. All countries with small populations have a shit standard of league football. Scotland being the worst

Couldnt care about population - its a shit league end of. Some players make a career in England, the rest kick a ball around hoping that one day Celtic will pick them up. The rest play league 1 (at best football) and below.

Nail, head

The fact he is clearly putting effort in means he gets a clean slate from me to prove me wrong that he isn't good enough for rovers. Let's hope he somehow learns how to be composed when his chance comes over the summer

No he hasn't.

Mowbray out

Get behind the lads ffs

So your saying Scottish players are not good enough for EPL

Typical English arrogance especially since you guys are lucky if you have watched him more than twice

Bigdog is Irish.

It's not just the English. Everyone thinks your league is shit ?

He was good at Everton and if he's of the same standard now I'd have him in a heartbeat. That was a few seasons back though

I think having the pick of city and Chelsea's kids will help. He's a very intelligent likeable person. He has an IQ of 157 so he's a smart lad. He has a wealth of football experience and will be respected from the off. I know he has no managerial experience and until he starts managing no one really knows how well he is going to do I just believe he will do well and has all the qualities to succeed.

Pilkopants is a few years younger than Dick Whittingham, and he's a left-winger (no idea what Whittington is), so I don't think there are too many parallels.

Not in playing style just when I saw pilkingtons name made feel the same way about when I saw whittingham before i saw him kick a ball. Pilky is a top player. Surly if he signs then we wouldn't need Conway ?

Pilky and Fielding would be terrific signings. Reminds me of the whittingham signing last year so it's hard to get excited . I really thought whitts would be a revelation

That car number plate was registered in Norwich in 2011. Anthony Pilkington played there, that year.

I stand up for everyone who deserves it  Actually, the Irish way is to be critical of our own. Have you ever heard an Irish person speak about Bono ?

That isn't strictly Irish people though is it. That's just people. Even his hat thinks he's a cnt 

Portugal were a dissapointment in the euros and they won it. Awful to watch

Honestly I don't think Raya is up to championship standard yet. 

He is very good at reflex saves but in my opinion his decision making is poor and requires improvement, which you would expect from a keeper his age.  He is also short for a goalkeeper and struggles to dominate the box and his kicking is quite frankly a liability; although again this could improve with time.

I understand why you would say that but he's at that point in his career now with the experience he has where he simply has to play. It's sink or swim time for David . It's going to be a defining season for him with rovers next year. He's either got it or he ain't. After an early wobble he certainly deserves to be our number 1 come August with some of the performances he put in. That save at Peterborough was friedelesque (  that is a word. It's in the dictionary)

dont feel for Shrewsbury one bit. 

Thats football

That is football however surly you can have some empathy towards the Shrewsbury fans who have followed there club up and down the country for year after year avoiding relegation or mid table mediocrity for years then finally they have a season where everything gels and they have some belief and dare to dream about progress then one game they lose and the whole thing is ripped apart to be back at square one. It is football but them fans , proper fans have my sympathies. Hopefully they will do well next season and find decent replacements

was reading the autobiography of an ex - England international a year or two back and he reckoned he hit that wall over a period of a few weeks when he was in his thirties. One week he was his old self and the next week he'd lost it at the level he was playing at.

I would think to deteriorate at that rate alot of it would have to be mental but I've never been in that position so wouldn't know
