Hi folks, Irish Saints fan in peace. I’ll try a little olive branch in lieu of our Palace friend earlier. Saints/Rovers have had our dalliances withtransfers in the past and I think we’ve all come out of it pretty well. Shearer, Davies, Beatts spring to mind. 

If the rumours are true with Obafemi going the other way I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. He’s raw but fast and powerful. He thought he had made the breakthrough about 2 years/ 18 months ago in Saints first team and Ireland but got a bit up himself and thought he was billy big bollox. Got himself a reputation. He’s matured a bit now and had a word with himself and is going to be a good player. I’m gutted he’s possibly going to be fair as I reckon this was going to be his breakthrough year.

on the flip side we’ve just lost another Billy Big bollox to Aston Villa. At least your fella said goodbye to the cleaners. Not a peep from Ings.

Is it worth asking for a genuine unbiased opinion about Adam? I’m not convinced. Seems a balls out player to be sure but will it translate. Any hope would be appreciated as we are a cartoon club at the minute.

Cheers, Saint in peace.

will be good for Ireland if Obafemi can get some games with us

Sorry but it is disgraceful and criminal to be selling the Championship top scorer for 15 million. Venkys and Mowbray don't give the slightest, the absolute slightest damn about the club - water is also wet, I know.

I just hope as hell it doesn't get invested into more useless loan deals. 

the problem is outside the top 6 clubs in the premier league, all others (if not more) are not in cash rich positions

So when’s the Rovers Online store going to have the full range I wonder 

That embroidered crest is fantastic. 
I still can’t get over the picture of Le Saux and Batty pre scrap 😂👍

Cool piece of memorabilia

The old heads not right line is one that gets trotted out all the time all over the place. Standard football stuff and they did the right thing leaving him out today. If he's not pleading to play and saying he wants to sign off in front of the fans and say goodbye then we don't need to see him.

There'd have been uproar if we'd lost of course but he wouldn't have made much difference if his head isn't in it.

Not sure i agree he'd have had a hatrick today but he might well have bagged. Dolans unselfish work though helped the likes of Brereton and Gally.  That's not something you associate with Armstrong so we looked like the shackles were off a bit today.

Best of luck to him whatever happens now.

Don’t think it’s got anything to do with his head not being in it, it is so he doesn’t get injured which would scupper any lucrative deal 

i hear Southampton have improved their vid. I’d be concerned about Obafemi coming the other way. A player with huge potential but apparently quite disruptive and, some even say, full of himself 

Clever game plan Mowbray

Gorgeous. Different, some people won’t like, but very impressed. Can’t wait to see this in black and red 👀

Agreed, definitely buying and haven't said that in a few years

Southend announce Macron as kit supplier. Pre orders from August 2nd, collection August 15th

Therefore not ready for August 7th, League 2 kick off

I’ll keep you in mind pal. I am hoping to sell them as a ‘job lot’ and not individually. Just give it a bit longer and, if I have had no takers, I’ll fire it over to you. 

no worries mate

I don’t understand why they couldn’t have used last seasons shirts. Obviously there is no respect for the club’s tradition

course they can't use last seasons, umbro deal ended June 30th.

If we were with macron last year I'm sure this would've happened

What’s the ballpark you are thinking on this please?

I have player issue shorts + cash 🩳 

How much to post to Ireland mate? 🇮🇪

20 Rovers VHS Tapes from Season 1990-91 onwards, including Champions Season 1994-95 and the Worthington Cup Final double tape. Will sell as a ‘job lot’ for £2 each plus either a postage fee or my own ‘petrol’ fee of £10 to anywhere in Lancashire. Ie, £50 if I deliver or £40 plus postage if a courier is used. I have seen some of these on eBay for as much as £10 each, so fill yer boots.

Hi mate 

would you be willing to post the 95/96 one to Ireland? 

Not unusual for companies to go to the wire with filing accounts recently with the economic situation changing rapidly and the pandemic

here's a good article https://www.rsmuk.com/ideas-and-insights/why-delay-approval-of-annual-report-and-accounts

When do you think macron kits will be launched ?

Might look like this …. 👀

Asics went through a period where they couldn’t make collars unfortunately 

James is a quality player. 
Pep getting slaughtered but I guess having been beaten twice by CFC this season already he felt he had to try something different 

I just hope they don’t massacre the collar. The amount of shirts I haven’t bought because of a ridiculous collar 😂

AFC Fylde away is the first preseason game on 10th July. They play in white, so would expect the new away shirt to be in action by then at the very latest.

As said above, with the Umbro deal running until 30th June, I wouldn't expect any Macron releases until 1st July at the earliest.

Bit of fun for everyone in the meantime

I know the players didn’t like the 95/96 away due to results but I thought it was a great shirt, really liked the champions badge impression front and back. I know some fans don’t like the amount of red on it

Doesn't matter. If we're considering Irish as foreign then I'm counting Scots and Welsh as foreign 

Was just watching Rovers v Trelleborgs FF on YouTube, looks like Scots, Irish etc had to be within the 3 allowed foreign players or couldn't play in Europe
