I don't blame the ref for the abandonment, nor do I blame the Ipswich management or team for milking it, or the fans having some fun with it. That shoe on the other foot would fit exactly the same. I remember 20,000 Rovers fans cheering heavy snowfall vs Arsenal in the 90s when 4-0 down in the "Alan Fettis game".

Rest assured, the FA will come up with a new rule on the back of what happened today to make sure a team in Rovers position (80 minute, 1-0, 11 vs 10) is safeguarded from a bullshit 90 minute, 0-0, 11 vs 11 rematch.... However, with that said, Rovers will absolutely be forced to play an 90 minute, 0-0, 11 vs 11 rematch. For me, tell Ipswich that they have to come back for 11 minutes (+6), 1-0 down and with 10 men, or agree to the 1-0 score and get to fuck.

Least we don't need to worry about relegation... it's a foregone conclusion after this past 2 months.

He averaged a yellow card every 11.6 games with Hull (11 in 127) and has never been sent off in 200 game career. Cue 2 yellow cards in 4 appearances for Rovers, and his only career 1 red. Not exactly encouraging. *according to Flashscore*

That god damn snowball...

Let's all just make sure we sufficiently "express ourselves" at the next home game.

How much did Stockport want for Pye?

Prediction: Alan Browne will come in, along with two (far too young/raw) PL loans join last minute - at GK and LW/RW. Leonard goes, Pears goes (or is mutually terminated), and unfortunately, I'm going to predict Tyjon gets sold to Arsenal. Batty and another kid gets loaned out too. ... and Junior Hoilett signs a new long-term contract!

Absolute brain dead fucking idiot. Cost us the game 100% with that pile of shit schoolboy decision/defending. Woeful!

So Lorient want £5m and Rovers are looking to discuss a compromise... Magic beans again?

I'd 100% rather have Dolan and Brittain vs Alebiosu and De Neve. Which is no slight on the boys. McLaughlin vs Batth seems closer, but I saw Batth for 35+ games vs 3 for Sean. I'd call it a wash, but Sean is younger and looked the part after 270 mins. Henricksson and Baradji vs JRC and Buckley isn't even close without seeing much or any of the two new guys. The departing two offered nothing barring being academy graduates. Tavares vs Bradford was excellent, seems extremely raw beyond that... give me Travis. Miller I dont really have a 1:1 comparison, but good addition. Morishita should an excellent addition to replace Weimann etc. Pears and Leonard out for New GK2 and New CF will almost certainly make us better. Though the aim should be a starting forward and not a like for like replacement for Leonard. Mixed bag for sure, but for me an A+ summer would have been the ones in bold vs the actual business.

So is this newly linked Japanese lad Ryõya decent, or is it just Mor(e) shita that we've been linked to?

Absolutely mint when our only negatives are that we didn't score at least 5. 0-7 wouldn't have been undeserved. I apologise for not being more ambitious. We said the exact same thing. If he can be a consistent (and healthy) version of an good version of JRC then he'll do nicely.

Barring a couple of moments, all can be happy with that 46 minutes. Sondre and Hedges done more in this half compared to the first 3 games combined. Some referee's are bad, and make one shocking game changing decision (pens and cards), this guy might actually be the first referee I've ever seen that is actually getting easily over half his decisions wrong. He is miles out of his depth. Hull legitimately have had 7 or 8 yellow card offenses in that half. Rovers look open at the back, and a bit disjointed. McDicknie, Ndala and Gelhardt are the ones to watch. Chance to win this 3-0, but I dont see many clean sheets in this team. Big 50 minutes to come.

Off topic (but this group gets the most traffic), not looking to discuss the chants from Saturday (which I didnt hear from the JW, W12). But I see the club are now "Restricting Responses" on social media posts.... Not necessarily a bad idea on this occasion, but it is the first time I've seen them do it. Would it shock anyone if they used the tactic much more often, and I wonder if that'll become more and more the norm as they continue to strangle opportunities for the truth.
