Upside Down

Not sure it's at that stage yet. We were awful at Dumpdale, tactically poor and he didn't change it up soon enough. Hoping for a win here to get us back on track.

If only they were going through the motions.

They're deliberately trying to diminish the fanbase and have been at it for years. The 'discounted' tickets were done to placate the Rovers Trust who had been banging on about cheaper tickets for a long time. They set about making it as difficult as possible for people to get the 'discounted' tickets by putting them on sale as late as they could, taking the 'discount' away after only a month and disgustingly adding a £10 penalty fee for people who bought them from the club shop. This will now be used as a stick with which to beat the Trust, saying that the club have 'tried' to do things that the Trust have been asking for and it was a failure. They are so transparent in their tactics.

They don't do anything about these issues, especially diving or dissent, because the big wealthy clubs are the ones most guilty of it. If diving was given a straight red and a five game ban it would be gone from the game within two weeks. If screaming in the official's faces was a straight red it would be gone by the end of the weekend. They aren't going to start dishing out these punishments to the likes of city or united or Liverpool though, they haven't got the bollocks. They'd much rather sit back and let the game fall into even further disrepute all so they can line their own pockets. All aboard the moneygoround!

Do you mean to say the football authorities are completely incompetent and are not enforcing their own rules and standards? What is the world coming to!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It shows that an injured Wharton is still the best option they have. Bargain of the millennium for palace. Paid less than half his actual value.

I take it swag didn't meet his target then. Oh well.

I don't expect that Eustace will deliver that with what he's been given, but I expect the owners and the higher ups at the club to deliver that at the bare minimum.

Pears has had a couple of decent games recently, he's well overdue to throw one into his own net.

Given we've brought in over 40million in player sales over the last 10 months I'd say a realistic expectation is that we're challenging for promotion.

He was equally shit for both sides. The Cantwell yellow was the most ridiculous, barely just a foul. The Nobbers red was the right decision, the Beck one wasn't for me but I can see why it would be for someone else. How biting an opponent isn't a straight red I'll never know. He just blew for absolutely anything and everything, got the cards out at any opportunity. Totally lost control of the game. I've watched two games now where the referees were absolutely terrible. Not just getting a couple of decisions wrong but just absolute incompetence and a total lack of understanding about the game.

It's proven to work at this club as the majority of the tickets were sold when they were cheaper. Absolute fucking cretins the lot of them. What makes them so fucking dumb is the fact thy think everyone else is as thick as they are.

Both of them were funded with the Gallagher sale.

And then reinvest absolutely none of the money.

He made some good saves but we lost any chance of going for a counter attack because of his constant dithering allowing the Nobbers to regroup. When you're playing on the counter, turning defence into attack as quickly as possible is absolutely key.

Well that is your opinion.

Need to win here especially after the last poor performance.

Poor yesterday and tactically got it wrong. The ref was abysmal. Ruined the game for both teams.

This was what absolutely killed it for us. Every single time we won back possession any and all momentum was lost due to Pears dithering endlessly. He did make some good saves but as per usual his decision making was bad to terrible. We should be leaving at least two up top and get the ball forward as quickly as possible.

That was a shit game with two really poor teams. Rovers offered absolutely nothing going forward.

Just ridiculous. Buy a forward that knows how to score then play him out of position.

Wilson Picket - Land Of A Thousand Dances

The clubs and sky should factor in the travelling fans when rescheduling these games but they don't. It is their fault.

But they gave Martin the job and he's shit. Swansea never did anything in any of the seasons he was there.

Well that is your opinion.
