genuinely have no idea why we have to pay fees and wages for inexperienced youth players from top 6 clubs! surely both long & short term both the player and their parent clubs are getting far more out of the deal

i never said he was a good midfielder, just that that's his preferred position(be his own acounts) I just think he's mediocre defender at best,this 'warrior' talk is nonsense unless they have good ability to go with it, otherwise they're just a liability.

sorry that was supposed to sarcastic wasnt it! 'learn to play centre half from lenihan' 😬😬 he forgets how to do it himself most weeks, personally i still don't see him as a natural centre back, he's probably the most overated player in our 1st team.

As much as i like the lad (as a footballer and a person).... anyone else starting to think the whole "Diaz" thing is starting to look a little silly now!

absolutely! Cole was in great form and looked to be really enjoying his football before Yorke joined.

our current form (well i say current but its been going on since promotion) reminds me of how we where doing under Steven Kean in the championship, playing shite but picking up odd goals against the run of play simply because we have some quality attacking players that dont need too many chances to score not because of the managers tactics or anything. get Mowbray out, please!

!!! just a heads up to the dozens of people/lazy cheap skates that normaly park on and around the animal trust/manxman car park(and grass😠).... The vets is now open 7 days a week so the carpark will be busy and full of pet owners so please use your brains and be considerate enough to park elsewhere so that you do not disrupt the vet practices goings on.

he does remind me a lot of a young kevin philips, but the prems changed a lot since Phillips day (and not for the better sadly, unless namby pamby zero contact and tactically dull football is your thing🤷‍♂️)

Rarely do players that leave rovers for a large fee improve or personally achieve much after leaving, most seem to become injury prone and their careers just quietly fizzle away. sad but true.

sad but most likely true 😞

im hoping on the slight possibility that the venkys have took mowbrays credit cards off him because they now also want him gone and are hoping that he'll quit and take his cronies with him when results don't go his way and the fans(now back in the stands) get right on his case.

im not even much of a drinker but I think if i was threatened with golf I'd quickly stock upbon the old 20/20 😅

id say try going completely tee total for a week and if you cant even get through a few days without it then you may want to speak to a professional(assuming you don't want to become a full blown alcoholic!)

So basically it appears there will be no incomings of any kind until Armstrong is sold. And even then we will just be back to scraping the barrel, the club seems to have regressed 5 years since Christmas.

Errrr so I don't believe I said anything about having fond memories of his time here! As I did say... The timing was wrong no real manager could have come in during that period and done well( hence why we ended up having to just put Bowyer in charge for a couple of years to just keep the ship afloat) and also it wasn't the right time for him as he was still to young and not quite ready for managing a relatively big club. But from what I've read in interviews the rovers players at the time enjoyed working for him and liked his ideas and since leaving he's gone away and learnt his trade, gained plenty of experience and is now one of the most promising young English managers outside of the premiership.

Seeing the news that Michael Appleton is currently having treatment for testicular cancer has reminded me what a stupid gaff it was to treat him so badly and let him slip through our fingers, sure i admit the timing wasn't right (it wouldn't have been right for any manager that came in during thay period) but it's a shame bridges we're burnt, as he'd easily be top of my list of realistic targets if the calamitous drone Mowbray left(or more ideally got potted finally)

Errr so that will be a yes 'we're still under embargo' then Cheers

Not sure if you're joking or not but I'll give that a miss thanks! 😅 Id have thought there'd be an article of some kind about it in the LT if it had all been settled, but I've not seen anything so just assumed there's been no real change. Sorry if I'm wrong and sorry if I've upset you with my thoughts precious 🤗

Have the clubs acounts been submitted yet or are we still under embargo? Any talk of incoming transfers is just nauseating until that's completely settled.

We do need to get his contract extended though! If he ends up leaving on a free or for chump change then it really would solidify it as financially one of the clubs absolute worst deals in modern times.

No sorry i meant in the store itself, only the current stuff is on the sight but I'm sure they'll have old stuff stored away

Also doesn't the rovers store keep s bit of a library of dvds going back a little while?

Got a few crackin official rovers vhs tapes from the mid 90s, I'd be as suprised if they cant be found uploaded to YouTube somewhere, also got a few full games recorded from sky from then also, how the quality of the tapes has held up I've no idea, theyve been stuck im a cupboard since the late 90s

..... Now he's in the final year of his contract🙄 Yeah that makes sense. No way did they expect it to take so long for the guy to establish himself, he was playing regular first team football for forest before joining us, they probably thought he'd just need 6-12 months to toughen up a bit that's all
