gotta say, Gav, you appear a little short of mates at the minute.

Ooops, sorry mate!

Don't they get Premiership attendance figures in Scotland? Are they that insular they don't know what the local derbies are? Does he really expect people to believe he only found out he'd make a mistake once he'd moved? What a fool. Only comes out with it when he leaves, what a tosser.

Debs should go: - Less likely to cause a riot. - Will be able to see the game - To wind Gav up.

You could always try jogging there. 12 miles at 10 min/miling, take about 2 hours. Of ourse, part of the way you'll be on the M65, could be a bit hairy. And you'll probably look like ##i# when you get there. Other than that, no worries.

I think Leighton James still plays for them ... in wellies.

What a vacuous phrase "confidence player". Every player relies on their confidence. Problem with him is that he's over-confident, hence he makes mistakes. What is wrong with making criticism of him on here? Should we be careful to criticise players down the pub, in case it gets overheard, relayed back to them, and damages their brittle confidence?

Having him in the team is counter-productive to our top-flight survival.

I would say I'd be glad when this game's over, but no doubt the cr*p will continure to fly for weeks afterwards. Yawn.

Our away kit should be silver with a montage of naked women overlaid on it.

I don't remember Henning Berg or David May being the most attack-minded of full-backs, but they were solid. OK, you had Le Saux on the other side, but he was a pretty good defender as well. Saying "OK, he can't defend very well, but he's good going forward" is the kind of thinking that brings about the insanity of Amoruso in defence.

Well, perhaps he was given a chance before his knee injury, and Hughes wasn't impressed. 2 goals from 4 games is good, but it's a bit of a superficial reason to keep him in the team when there may be more to it than that (see CLB's comments).

Not in my book. You have to defend, that's it. Anything else is a bonus. But if first and foremost if you can't defend then you shouldn't be in the backline. Personally I hope we get a replacement for Neill in the close season. I don't rate him at all.

Delaying the inevitable.

"Paul Dickov is going to get his head kicked in" Helllllllllllllllllll-oooooooooooooooo, it's just a game of football when all is said and done. Yes, it's going to be passionate etc, but for flip's sakes, these people sound desperate. Can't you just smell the frustration?

Yawn! You're attendance-obsessed you lot, I swear!

He's no moron, that's for sure. "Comments attributed to Nigel Worthington". Good semantics.

I don't understand this. You don't have to be one of Rovers' greatest ever players to make the greatest ever Rovers XI? Puzzling. Edit: Mind you, you did say the whole thing's flawed, so fair enough ...

The sooner we get rid of that Swedish numper the better. He really does take the pish. Seeing men about a job (no great sin I guess, but it does show that he's no bowled over by managing England), poking birds when he should be figuring out how to poke the opposition, appalling tactics and repeatedly playing Owen bl00dy Hargreaves (the worst sin of the lot)! It's all a long way from Winter Walterbottom. I got so fed up watching the game on Weds, I switched over and watched Wife Swap and was much more entertained.

MGP was rubbish. Call yourself a Norwegian?!

Dunno, but I think "cuidado" is foreign-speak for "up a Norwegian".

Don't worry Sam, I got your sarcasm ... and was duly amused!

Er ... are you sure about that? Could've sworn when the CJB came out there was a big hoo-ha that selling your ticket on at cost made you liable to prosecution.
