Yeah mate very hard to judge barring the obvious but that's the guidance given at the moment to referees. Yes it's open to abuse as it looks like happened on this occasion.

Play should be stopped if the referee suspects a serious injury or a head injury. As you know yourself when you have a split second to decide if its a head injury or not it's best from a referees view to lean on the side of caution. Frustrating for fans but from the referees point of view it's better to disallow the goal than allow it and then the player is carried off with a head injury. Hope your well and had a good Xmas.

Im also a qualified referee, the latest guidance is to stop the game for a serious injury or a head injury (no matter how serious) however I agree with you it's about when he blew the whistle and how audible the whistle was, but he was perfectly within his rights to stop the game the second he suspected a head injury, no matter how serious.

If its a head injury you stop the game immediately as a referee, so I'm not sure he blew to quickly is an excuse. There's no advantage to be played from a head injury. I didn't see the actual incident due to a toilet trip with a nagging child, but the minute a player is holding his head the referee should stop the game.

Anything getting up for 3k is absolutely fantastic all things considering...pandemic, no trains, the general last 11 years we've been through. Is the famous old club stirring? You bet. Rise rovers Rise.

Absolutely no question - Rovers to get promoted.

I think I prefer a slightly lighter blue (not as pale as the 90/91 or 18/19) so for that reason the 91/92 Ribero home shirt. Away shirt I would go for the 95/96 champions edition, red with black sleeves away shirt. For a third shirt the Wembley 92 yellow shirt, narrowly pipping this season's macron version of the shirt.

Not sure if been mentioned but did anybody see the fight after the game? Grown men who ought to know better and some young kids attacking Huddersfield fans (who were goading but still, absolutely no excuse for that). I don't get to many away games but last night confirmed why I don't.

No one likes losing games of football but 3 points from the 2 away games this week will do me just fine. Anything more is fantastic.

Terrible goalkeeper. So so weak.

I thought Big Ben looked a real handful today. The minute Ayala inevitably gets injured we are screwed defensively.

All this talk of them getting an 'easy ride' .... So they bloody should whilst they're wearing our shirt. The most talented they may not be, but they didn't set the transfer fee. Certainly in the case of Ben it looks like there may be a player in there if utilized correct.

I've warmed to the idea of Gareth Ainsworth massively. After these painful years the thought of having someone who cares about the club as much as the supporters really does appeal. However his love for the club brings no guarantees that he would be successful here, but there's no guarantee of success anywhere with anyone. For those unsure on Gareth's character there's a good number of interviews on YouTube. Either way surely it's time for a young manager with fresh ideas. Mowbray OUT

I play a lot of golf, but always prioritised games over the weekend competitions. I'm pretty sure that won't be the case once a type of 'normal' returns.

Exactly that mate, then the next thing down would have been a full renovation which is 6 figures..... They went for the light renovation which with the state the pitch was towards end of last season, was never gonna work. I'm surprised the company who did it were willing to put there name too it, knowing how it would end up.

This summer they were quoted a figure, id be lieing if I said the figure but it was 6 figures. This was for essential work that needed doing. They however chose to get a firm from Burnley way to carry out a patch up job for around 10% of what the full job would have cost.

Go - 100%. Not a chance this man can get us top 6. If he goes now then he leaves with a better reputation than when we appointed him.

I've a 91/92 home shirt that I've been toying with the idea of ebaying

Agree on Nyambe, worryingly if Bennett and JRC were fit there's a fair chance Mowbray would have Nyambe sat on the bench.

This is something I intend to raise, pretty sure I've seen it raised at one of these or a fans forum meeting within the last couple of years and nothing seems to have been done about it, it's deteriorated if anything.

Keep a winning team where possible but make the four changes you mention ?. Do agree on the points you make though.

Well what I would say is, Raya seems to have improved since leaving and Walton deteriorated since joining. Should tell you everything you need to know regarding BB

Goes on about having the correct balance at centre half ( left footer and right footer). Yet is happy to play a right footer at left back. Time to go.

Id take a look at Gareth Ainsworth, Blackburn lad, Rovers fan, currently has Wycombe 2nd in league one somehow. Shades of Chris Wilder?

Yeah and about 75% were sideways or backwards.
