Finally!! Good to see this saga end with a signing. It took 43 pages here, but can only see good thing in this signing.

As I understand it, Ferguson wants home to Rangers. In that case it doesn't matter if Newcastle or Everton tries to buy him. Ferguson would have to agree on a personal contract so Rovers cannot force him to go to a club against his wishes. If Rangers are the only club Ferguson are willing to go to, they have all the power when it comes to deciding on a transfer fee.

3 points. We are now 9 points above releagtion. Good to get some breathing room to the teams below us on the table.

second red card. this time Portsmouths Andy Faye.

sounds right. I rememeber Arsenal got a fine some seasons ago because of to many yellow cards.

A new hero is born... I hope. Finally he get to show what he can.

Red card to Tresor Lua-Lua. Maybe we will have the uper hand and get three points today.

Three yellow cards allready. Doesn't sound good for the second half. Have to change it to four.

Before we sell Ferguson there is one questions that has to be answered. If we get about £5m for him, will we be able to buy a just as good player for the same amount of money before the transfer window closes. If not we should not sell even if we get £6m or £7m. The goal should be to stay in the premiership. what's the point of selling Ferguson for say £5m, buy a replacement with less talent for £3 and then go down at the end of the season. Okey, we will have £2m in the bank, but lose milions in revenue next season and be in a lower division. We can not sell without knowing if we can get the right replacement.

A disapointing result, but good to see MGP get a goal and 90 min for the first time in a long long time.

Good to get the goal right before half time. Got a good feeling about the second half. Hope MGP can get 10 15 min at the end.

Looking back on the results of the last 7 or so games, I think Hughes has found the right starting line up.

The good thing is that if we go down we don't go down to div 1 any more. Now it is the Championship league But we will not go down.

MGP have started 3 games and in 2 of them he has been taken of the field. In total he has 194 min of premiership action.

In an newspaper interview today, MGP says he feels he is closer to getting into the team. He does not give any reason for stating this. I guess and hope it is because he is preforming better in training and he feels that Hughes is backing him up even if he is not playing at the moment. On another note: Car crazy MGP has bought a new BMW 645 Ci.

I agree with you Bobby G that when we went up 2-0 ten minutes from time that it would have been a good time to bring on MGP. Not because the other players had played bad, but because MGP could get 10 min without to much pressure on his sholders. What i don't agree with is that it's a conspiracy not to bring him on. Why wait now to play him. If Rovers have to pay Tromsø money after 10 or 20 MGP play, when why not let him play 9 or 19 games. If he then hasn't shown what he is good enough for the team, then don't play him and save the money. Don't think Hughes will hold a player that is good enough for the team on the bench for many weeks and at the moment there really isn't any room for MGP. Sad but true.

I'm not saying Dickov isn't good enough for the team at the moment. He and Gallagher is probably the best we have now, but I think Rovers have to get out on the marked and buy a better striker then the transfer window opens up.

I don't love him at all. He is not a good enough striker and tackle other players horribly in almost every game. 5 goals 2 of them on penalty in 15 games is not much. It comes to an average of 0.33 goals per game.

A great start to a saturday. Long time since last time. We are up to 16th now before todays other games. At the end of today I can see us droping lower than 15th on the table. Only disappointment today was that MGP didn't come on the last 10 min. The kid need playing time soon.

Yes!!! Good to finally get three points.

1- 0 Rovers. Paul Gallagher

Line-up Friedel, Neill, Short, Todd, Johansson, Reid, Ferguson, Tugay, Emerton, Dickov, Gallagher. sub Flitcroft, Pedersen, Thompson, Matteo, Enckelman Do not like having Tugay on the field, but sparky knows best.

Thommo on the bench? I would think he would start this one after the great second half last sunday. Does this mean that Tugay is in the starting line-up?

So Emerton should do what Pedersen did. Learn how to use your left foot. Pedersen is right footed, but since there where so few left footed players he teached himself how to use the left foot as well.

I rather see Thommo in the middle and Pedersen on the left wing. Tugay could be benched for this one. Can't see that he has done anything to deserve to be in the starting line-up. The rest of the team looks good
