Displaced Rover

I’ve just switched on and seen Grealish miss a sitter. Dunno why he keeps getting picked.

The shit kick off times don't help on these sort of offers. As discussed at length in previous season ticket thread, if you struggle to get to Ewood midweek or for later kick offs on a weekend, our season ticket pricing (as it currently is) is no good to you.

I mean fair point, I did on review. Long day! Point stands that there was a path to giving us more. They chose to go another way, not sure why people are suggesting us playing tit for tat is an issue.

I didn’t say it would be easy. Just in response to a comment that they gave us the maximum they could - it’s just not true. We don’t owe the dingles anything, we’ve had decent cup run, I wouldn’t let any more of them in than we absolutely have to for what is shaping up to be a massively important game for us (beyond it’s usual significance).

They could have shifted the season ticket holders out of the away end to give us the whole stand quite easily.

I've just had a little look around some Burnley comments online. Rovers have got such a huge bite here. I don't think I've ever seen such a superb OTT reaction. Talks of boycotts and big screens have really got me 😆

Eye for an eye. Very simple, they took a small minded view in the away fixture. As others have said, shame they aren't up in the top tier.

I commented this to the old man yesterday, was great to see. Not sure how long they'll last with some of our away support, although I would say every club has morons and where I was yesterday was on the whole very well behaved. EDIT - should also add that I drove over so didn't have to put up with drunk people pissing on coaches.

Sounds like there's a bit of a pre-planned angle with this "story" already...

Was a cracking game to watch live, good atmosphere, lots of chances and plenty of moments of (false) hope. My observations: - Suicidal substitutions. Trying to shut up shop was all wrong. Brittain was well off it when he came on. - Could have been so different if Hedges shot had gone in. - Morton - just a poor poor footballer for me. Gave it away loads but sure he’ll be first choice next game. - Opponents - just a horrible team with equally horrible fans. They deserve everything they hopefully get re points deductions Anyway. Onwards and upwards. Hopefully more to come in the league.

I don’t get this suicidal approach in the second half. Pressing so high whilst 5/6-0 down seems insane, regardless of Kompany’s “philosophy”

This is fucking superb 😂

They’re just a total nothing club. They’re only the third most important club in the history of their own city, let alone in a position to think they’re of any relevance to the history of game nationally.

I see selective quotes from this thread have made it on to a Sheffield United forum. It’s got them so rattled it’s hilarious 😂 Didn’t think our friends from across the Pennines were so thin skinned. One of them called us a “beige” club. I mean if we’re a nothing club what the fuck does that make them? Zero history in comparison

They do unfortunately seem like one of the best sides the Championship has had for a few years - still that's what happens when you spend essentially more than the rest of the league combined on transfer fees (let's not get into the bollocks that is "but what about net spend!!!").

That’s the spirit!

Anyone have any idea on best place to park if going by car? Meadowhall seems to be suggestion i've seen?

Well it's good to have hobbies to fill your free time (which you certainly have a lot of to be spending it on here, talking about a rival clubs statutory filings...)

Just hope we get a performance to reward the effort of the fans. Nearly 6k at 12pm on a Sunday is genuinely impressive.

Good. Regardless of issue of policing a midweek game, they deserve the minimum purely on a tit for tat basis.

Deserved goal for Stoke. More shit defending.

At the start of this season when we were on a great run but had shit xG stats there were a few posts "concerned" about it (myself included) But in the last month or so we've certaintly passed the eye test, including creating about 38 great chances at Leicester. If we turn up this evening as we have in recent weeks we'll dick you 3/4-nil.

On what basis? Only one I can think of is that you don't have to look at the Riverside?

I still find it hilarious that we're on the best run in years, potentially could end up at Wembley twice and we have zero shirts to sell to people. We'll have 25k at Wembley wearing shirts from 10 years ago. Potentially a massive missed source of revenue depending on how things pan out.

Veil is slipping today for all these "nice" Dingles on here. Rattled for some reason. Very thin skinned.
