Pears in a nutshell from Kevin Gallacher

Really solid looking squad for us on paper with the rarity of square pegs in square holes all over! 

Only liabilities for me are the cement footed pickering, lack of a natural centre forward(nothing new there though) and Calamity Pears.

Ipswich can go top and you'd expect them to be well up for this to get that win.

Our lot generally aren't up for a game at the best of times, could be a long evening ahead.

Sadly we seem to play better when there's less pressure and against the odds. 

So I'm now a tad more optimistic about today👍😄

Bit of rain gives a little zip to the game 🙂

Although as I type this we've just had a rumble of thunder (and I'm just 5 mins walk from the ground)

It is just a shame that someone with such poor skills is able to make 150 Rovers appearances by the age of 22 

Jason Lowe made around 200 appearances for us between his late teens early 20s also. 

Doesn't take much actual ability at this club these days! 

Tbh after having a lot of hope snd patience in dolan over recent seasons, mainly due to his determination and work rate, but I'm now almost done with him tbh just no end product and hasn't shown any real signs of improvement over the last 2 seasons

Good squad player, but if he's demanding to be one of the clubs top earners to stay then I'd let him go. 

That said... If the worst happens and we got relegated then he could be a big big player for us in div 1

Weather looks perfect for a good game of footy, hopefully we'll give it everything and play some good football at least🙏🙏🙏

(and by good football I don't mean tippy tappy poncing about bollox! I MEAN defend like absolute bastards and attack like serial killers, no fkin or half arsing about)

👌👌👌👌👌😄

One thing that he did clearly dismiss was this myth that Szmodics and Hyam were already serious transfer targets before he arrived

Forget the ff we need to send @chaddyrovers in to have words with Waggot again!!!

(maybe he can be chaperoned by @ABBEY this time😅👊)

New Broughton interview on YouTube…note it isn’t with or by the club.

Broughton Interview - International break

I reckon he’s off.

As honest, open and reasonable as any employee/staff member can be.... Clearly admits as best he publicly can that the issues lay with Waggots office undermining and pulling the rug away from all the good hard work that does go on behind the scenes. 

Sadly I cant see the vile scumbags waggot & pasha going anywhere so it looks like GB will be banished to the broom cupboard unless they pay him off or he leaves of his own accord.

I think you have got the wrong end of the stick. It was a Rovers player being loaned out.

 

Ahhh i say. Tbf it didn't read like that is what you meant in the your post.

I was told last night that on the last day of the window Pasha and Waggott arranged a loan deal for a player Tomasson rated behind his back. Tomasson got wind of this and asked the player who told him it was true but he was of the understanding that Tomasson had agreed to it. Tomasson went ballistic at those two and went to town on them, it was said to me that it was the straw that broke the camel's back. Being the cowards that are they were scared they would be called out in his press conference the day before the QPR game and stopped him doing it. This ties in with the 'ask Steve and Pasha' comment after the QPR game.

And Broughton knew nothing of this scurrilous deal.

I was told the name of the player but it would be unfair to name him.

 

Why would it be unfair to name the supposed player? 

And if it was a player tommason actually wanted then why would it be such a big issue for tommason? Surely GB is the only one that would really have thecriggt to be put out by it being done behind his back

Finally the newspaper headline we have all been gagging for:(what could go wrong?

Bad owners could be forced to sell clubs by new English football regulator

Yeh just seems like it would be a slightly more prolonged box ticking exercise for new owners to aquire the club but I doubt it will change much sadly. Money is all that talks in modern football 😞

I honestly think we will lose the Sheffield Wed game and end up going down by 1 point

After missing out on the playoffs by one point last season it would be a true Venkism to get relegated by one point this season. 

Everything crossed we scrape a couple of wins together soon though 🙏🙏

We were good today - if Szmodics had been more clinical we might have won it too.

A very good, and unexpected, point. 

Bloody useless that lad! 

🙃

hopefully with players coming back from injury we can keep pushing😅 and hopefully pick up a couple of wins soon. I'm confident that we wont be relegated but flippin eck its going to be tight 😞

If you think I don't criticise The owners or CEO then you are very much mistaken. None of those are signing the players though, we are in a relegation fight and had a paltry budget in January I just think that if Broughton was going to spend money on a player it would have been useful to spend it on someone who can play a big part in that fight against relegation.

Broughton is a symptom of the owners and like many of those employed before him (and the current CEO) is a chancer who is massively out of his depth.

Ok, well I'd imagine the American lad he had lined up was going to be 'that player' that would have hopefully comecin and gives us a boost at the attacking end. 

But the sinister ones that lurk in the background blatantly scuppered that deal

Another damning indictment of Broughton. We are in a relegation battle and our only cash buy in January needs protecting.

Cant believe with all the shit the scumbag raos, waggot and sunhail do to this club people still blame and pick on easy targets like of eustace, jdt and Broughton! Professionals that are just doing the best they can under the shit show circus where the clubs plans change with the wind

Conveniently delayed until the summer transfer window is well and truly shut. 

Whatever league we are in next season.... This summer Szmodics will be sold to the highest bidder along with any other senior player that is has a value over a million... Tronstadt, siggy, gallagher, dolan, jrc and hyam will all be allowed to leave if a reasonable offer comes in. 

Unless a miracle happens next seasons squad is going to be shockingly poor and lightweight, possibly the weakest we've had since THEY bought the club.

I read a tweet  from a supporter last week which stated we can’t expect to be in the Championship with our attendances.

The meek acceptance makes you sick. 

That's such a gen z way to look at it, bloody spineless passion less robototic fannies that have never really known rovers aside from this fetted venky era

 I didn't like your tone and think it's just "lazy" of you to simply label British people lazy👍

Does that answer your question precious? 

Eithervway who actually gives a fuck, whatva boring subject and why did i get involved (more fool me!) 

What i don't understand with this bs is that surely they have millions in cash and assets around the world outside of India that could be redirected to us if they really wanted to. 

I'm sure it was mentioned ages back in some article that like most "billionaires" they have a lot of cash tucked away in swiss banks and also in the past they've held business meetings in Switzerland 

The simple truth is that rovers isn't a top priority for them

British people are generally shite at learning languages (learning well enough to have a fluent conversation anyway!) 

Just a fact and it was no different 2 years ago when they first started calling the lad up to the Chilean squad! Hypocritical of them to use that against him now, they should simply say he's not being picked because his form for club/s and country the past 6-12 months has been poor
