Several reports I have read/heard have put the whole thing down to our not having to play Sunderland. Funny it did not do much for Bolton, Boro or the Geordies. Don't believe I heard any mention of It benefiting Charlton. They just can't seem to give us any credit, the media, can they.

MODS, make this pillock go away

Mmmm, "us" 'we" "rovers" better terms I think for a FAN

It was my understanding that the Newcastle game was off not due to the pitch but down to the fact that the roads approaching the ground were iced over.

I would not say there is anything wrong with constructive criticism if the club fouls up. No real proof they did here, seems like. Thing is you get the same people with the same negative posting. It seems some only post when they do have an axe to grind, one finds very little in the way of anything complimentary when the club does something right or is doing well that comes from these folks. Rev, if you complain about everything you are sure to get some right, eh bud. Match was off let's move on. Course I did not make my way to Ewood but it's not like it's never happened to me before. My main cincern is that by the time we play Sunderland their fortunes could be brighter and we lost the chance at a decent crowd.

Exactly. On both counts.

4eva, we should all know and understand some people never miss the chance to have a go at the club.

Well, that's ruined what should have been a cracker

Look on the bright side Gav, now she has a reason to take 'em off again

I blame the Walker Family Hee Hee

No prediction but I think this will be a cracking game, don't fancy us to turn over wigan. I am really surprised this one is not on the telly, over here anyway.

Bloody bandwaggoners, were was you when we played Formby back in '68.

I see quite a few who would be eating some humble pie if it were not for the egg on their faces

Funny you mention that. Fox had a run of old Cup finals on the telly Xmas day Man U ones. I was thinking how much better officiated those games seemed to be. Stuff going on that would not be allowed today. Also stood out a lot less whining about the decisions. Did some one tell Mike Riley handball is no longer an offence, he must have "missed" at least four today. Halsey's handling of the Bowyer incident was spineless. Both Crouch and Gerrard should have gone IMHO.

jim as long as you have been watching Rovers? You know better, or are you setting yourself up for a good moan? That must be it two improbable wins on the bounce and jimbo is feeling a bit depressed My feelings are we will blow it, and also you know it, you are just sharpening your daggers

Spoken like a true Rovers fan, and for the Kuqi bangers and slaggers, how do you feel?

Reasoned, good response. I was just playing Devil's Advocate. Ok Ok I admit it I was ###### stirring

I know MGP is being rested, my question is, is he being rested or protected for the January window?

How come you consider it strange TND

Anymore news on this latest breakdown.

What's all this about Bellers breaking down again?

Did anyone really expect anything else. I avoided commenting cos I really did not excpect us to get through this one. But it was bleeding obvious Arse and Man U would not meet in the semis. Too bad because Arse and Manu and us and Wigan would have been a few cracking games for the semis. Doubt we will turn 'em over with 2 legs

Too bad all three are quite losable. Bit nervy at the moment me.

So win the next three and we did it. Highley unlikely though.

I wonder why it is I questioned MGP's form a few weeks ago and was told off. Here we are a few weeks later and more and more are wondering why he has gone pants.
