London blue

The good news is we'll be top of the deserved points table at the end of the year.

Absolute dross. Deserved nothing. Can't see where any points are coming from in the next month. I'd be furious if I hadn't stopped caring.

Ouch. Lose this one and it's looking dire.

That was lovely all round, well played lads

This is poor fare.

It simply is an issue if - as suggested - staff are unhappy with it. It's not that deep to you.

No it wouldn't. This isn't about one off results. And if it was we just got pumped by Charlton.

Every Rovers signing this year has been preceeded by that stupid chair with the players' national flag draped over it. I believe that's the north Korean flag.

I can't stand what this club has become. We're a laughing stock. Pack it all up, I'm sick of it.

Nope, but in declaring a partially played game to be a result and changing the number of points awarded for that result, the league would set two incredibly dangerous precedents. Ordering the rest of the game to be played would, I believe, be adhering to as many of their own regulations as possible... Apart from replaying the game entirely, which I've already stated I think will happen. Just of all the the possible outcomes, your suggestion is the most unlikely of all those that I've read.

I would argue that it's multiple orders of magnitude more likely that the EFL order the rest of the match be played than declare Rovers to be the winners but only award one point.

Sure, but that was my point. The two possible outcomes as I see it are full replay or partial replay, with the former being far, far more likely. Anything else would likely fall outside of regulations.

It's really not.

Changes to points awarded for a result would fall outside of that, surely. Sheffield United and Nottingham Forest are two that I can think of that have recently either threatened or started legal proceedings against leagues that will likely believe they were acting within their regulations.

It'll be a full replay, it's abundantly clear that the EFL will want to protect themselves from backlash and/or litigation and declaring the 80 mins played null is the best way to do that. I think playing the rest of the match is the most fair thing to do. I also think declaring a win for Rovers but awarding only one point is just laughable.

"All about results" Apart from when results are poor, when you decide it's about how honest he is and how he needs time. I'm sick to the back teeth of you and your hypocrisy.

I find it interesting that since Dolan's good start in Spain, certain posters have changed from "let's see where he ends up" to "he was never going to sign a contract". I'm delighted for him.

This dire reading. You can't call it anything other than systematic failure.

Precisely. Many more absent performances like today and Arsenal will look elsewhere.

I hope VI has the confidence and conviction to not play Tyjon if he doesn't deem it beneficial to the team in the short term. I've made my feelings on this clear, I have no interest in blooding him this year to improve him on the chance that he signs a contract, especially if it's at the potential expense of Championship points. Sign and play. Otherwise, best of luck.

Some shocking defending on display, though. Batty put in the softest challenge and Dale get time in the box to set up a point blank header. 3-2

Litherland looks very, very good breaking from defence. Chris Smalling comes to mind

Feels like he believes more in austerity.

He might well be. The reality of it is, though, that we're left with Tron and Tavares who, so far, has been lightweight and has a mistake in him. Our backup is the Brum lad, Foreshaw and Kristi. I've not seen the former play and I'd like to see as little as possible of the latter two.

Yes. Because winning a game does not solve the inherent sickness that sits atop our club and has infected it to its very core. You're just happy to ignore it.
