  1. I wonder how the squad feels about the additions that have come on board, and perhaps more importantly, how Mr Eustace is disposed towards his new resources? It would be great if he is feeling relaxed and ready to work them into his plans. Tonight I think we need to go back to basics and make ourselves hard to break down. Concentrate on defending properly and hope to nick a goal or two through our ability to move the ball around quickly in counter attacks. The Cantwell / Travis axis will be key to that, and if the Big Mak continues his recent form, there is always the chance of a chance, if you see what I mean. Take it up the R's - QPR 0 - Rovers 1 Rodney Marsh's Revenge - Hoops 2 Rovers 0 Rovers Run Riot- Rangers 0 Rovers 3 Most likely score line is a narrow victory for either side. JE has us working as a team, but although the wheels haven't completely fallen off recently, you feel like there is always that potential, especially when we are so hamstrung through injuries (pardon the pun). COYB!!
  2. Armstrong will tear the Championship a new one. Meanwhile, our search for a striker to add some steel and pace up front...
  3. Squeaky bum time. Complete shit show and once again a demonstration of how NOT to conductt transfer business. Tick fecking Tock... 50 minutes to get something done... Not crossing anything here... Facking amateurs! 😞
  4. Looks like a cross between Jimmy Quinn and Chris Wood. More likely to be a cross between Jimmy Saville and a Woodentop. Oh deary deary me.
  5. Player travelled to Blackburn, West Lothian, and ended up missing the last bus South
  6. Remind me again, which clogging bastards took him out? He was clearly targeted and should have brought charges 😞
  7. We should be Dann sing. Definitely. More likely we'll be wallflowers and unkissed in our walk of shame away from the play-offs. If, by some miracle we made it to the cut-off for a chance of a Premier League return, what's the betting that it would be our six-fingered cuzzins from down the road that would be the major obstacle? Put yer money on it! 😉
  8. I'd prefer someone to charge in like a bull in a china shop to be fair - we are pedestrian enough across the middle and front as it is. There's only on Jack Walker. The other Walkers were problematic and sold us down the river to the Punatics,
  9. Good result for Plymouth and Rovers that 😉
  10. No. The Law (12, Fouls and Misconduct) would only apply if the player had been judged by the referee to have deliberately endangered the safety of another player. In this case, their player (Watmough) did endanger Hyam, but he had his back tto him when he jumped, and also jumped into his own player first. It was dangerous play, but IMO not deliberate - most referees would not have the cojones to give an indirect free kick inside the penalty area. At the other end, I agree we were somewhat fortunate not to be penalised for Gueye's challenge for the ball with Potts (or whoever) and the suspicion of handball - but again the mitigating factor was that Potts (or whoever) was behind him and to me appeared to shove Gueye too, so a 50-50 ball. In some games the ref might have taken a different view, but I personally think he called that one right. So for me, the Nobbers might feel let down by the ref for our penalty, but they had no claim of their own. And in any case, what an injustice that would have been after having brought so little to the game and deserving nothing. Besides, I completely despise their skank manager, who is more weasly than Ron, and more rattty than Roland - a despicable charactter whose sides play sunday league football at best. We won. They lost. Let's move on.
  11. No, it was dangerous play. Which is an indirect free kick.
  12. Tyjon is injured, I believe.
  13. The site is totally up the swanny this evening - tiny font, missing functionality, no way to pick up notifications, random pages missing, constantly resetting itself and going back to the start - SOUNDS LIKE A VIRUS AT THE SERVER END, MODS!! 😞
  14. And now we have a striker who is scoring goals, midfielders chipping in with goals too. Just need to get Tronstadt back and we will be firing on all cylinders again. COYB!!
  15. The penalty should in fact have been an indirect free kick, for dangerous play. But I'm not complaining. Just pointing out the Laws of the Game 😉
  16. That will do! Rovers more than deserved that victory, and only conceded after the steel was taken off..
  17. Oh no! Trav off - JRC doesn't have shithousery in his repertoire 😞
  18. We need to be careful not to let this lot back into the game.
  19. Gueye is on fire this evening. Hedges and Buckley need a fire lighting up their arses.
  20. These are there for the taking. They have offered very little, created nothing for Pears to deal with, AND Rovers look committed and up for this as a team. Having said that, we have some glaring holes in the approach, with Hedges doing nothing, Dolan very little and Buckley ineffective. Let's see what the second half brings. Travis has bossed it so far.
  21. Should be 2 - Hedges skied that when it was easier to hit the target
  22. Hedges is adding nothing to our attacking threat, which is pretty toothless in the first place BIIGGG MMAAAAKAKKKKKK!!!!
