The thing I like about Garrett is he gets up with and beyond the strikers

The BBC sports football thread has an article - The Best Volleyed goals in the Premier League - predictably Tugay doesn’t feature or Shearer whilst he was at Rovers.

“ What we’ll be left with “ is the same wankers that have got us in this position, the same wankers that appointed him in the first place. The same wankers that would possibly appoint somebody worse if that’s possible. They’re like the cockroaches that would survive a nuclear war.

Regarding the pen - to say that the lad really wanted to take it it was a poor pen. Any keeper guessing the right way would save that all day long. You’ve got to go higher. I suspect he won’t be taking the next one. How many is that we’ve missed recently ?

They’ve got a good manager there. What’ll happen when he leaves is another story.

I see there’s speculation about Real Madrid looking at the Brighton manager Robert De Zerbi. You can get a pound to a penny that Brighton will already have their next manager in mind if De Zerbi was to leave. That’s how successful clubs are run.

When we had near sell out attendance for the Oxford “ party “ game in our promotion season the whole club and fan base was buzzing. What did we get after that - the club pouring water on the next season led by Mowbray telling us we didn’t need any good signings, just players to “ help out the lads “. Talk about lost opportunities. Do they do it deliberately !

He’s always looked decent whenever I’ve seen him.

No sign of the pen ?

It’s a tough draw but so was West Ham and Leicester away last season. Should be a decent pay day.

It’s on the Sky highlights. The missed pen isn’t though.

The Crickets - It’s So Easy

Playing out from the back, isn’t it great.

Looks like 4-2-1-3.

I’d turn the floodlights off and give all the players a torch.

Back in the day when we couldn’t afford to pay the milkman we didn’t sink as low as this.

OK, I’ll try to remember that.

I’ve seen Rovers players handle the ball into the net, Pedersen playing the ball to himself at a corner etc. Nobody bothered then matey.

If you man mark someone closely it prevents them getting ball. You don’t really have to tackle them. Other players on the ball see you’re marked and pass it somewhere else.

I don’t blame him for that, he won’t be the first and he won’t be the last. It’s up to the officials to spot it, and to be honest, it’s for us to defend it better.
