Just look at the boots !

The article is actually in this mornings dead tree " Guardian ". The photo accompanying the article is a hoot. A full length photo of Tosin in going out on the town garb. You'd think with all his money he'd have a full length mirror in his house.As my mum used to say " All his taste must be in his mouth ". I shudder to think what his place is like. An interview with Tina Turner comes to mind. Afterwards the guy who interviewed her at home said " I didn't realise you could spend a million dollars in Woolworths ".

Irrespective of wether you think that individuals have improved or not,even the dogs in the street know that as a team we are dog shit to watch most of the time.

Short and not so sweet. Obvious;ly following my mum's advice of " If you can't say anything good about Rovers, don't say anything at all ". Let's hope you've a win to write about next week.

He never looked remotely good enough, a very strange signing indeed.

That's more reason to be signing a replacement, especially now the player who was originally signed as Dack's back up, Gladwin, has left the club.

Maybe the Chicken Chokers have seen the two magic beans he bought and they've decided that enough is enough.

The manager you are defending has been here 3 years and yet we still need a complete new defensive unit in your estimation. As far as Gallagher is concerned I wouldn't have signed him because I wasn't particularly impressed with him the first time around and he's gone backwards since then. Given that he is here somebody needs to play him some videos of Kevin Davies at Bolton and tell him " Watch these, that's how I want you to play, Forget playing out wide, get in the box and knock people about. If you can't adapt your game and play like that, you're not much use to me ". He'll never be a prolific goal scorer but he could become a useful blunt instrument. Having said that if we could get rid of him and re-coup even half of what we paid for him I'd sell him tomorrow.

Their medical staff won't have had the practice our lot have.

Don't know much about Madine but Brererton cost £7 million 18 months ago, does that make him a good signing ?

He was, trouble is we were the ones that got stolen from !

The Dingles were sniffing around Judge also at that time, they seem to have a thing for Brentford players

I liked Judge, he reminded me of Johnny Price. I thought he never got a real chance at Rovers. He was heading for a big move when he broke his leg at Brentford. It was a bad break and I don't think he's ever got back to where he was. I'd have had him back before the injury but not now. That ship has sailed. If we keep signing 3rd division players we'll get 3rd division football.

I took a girlfriend to watch Rochdale at Spotland many years ago. After the usual pre match kick about and shooting in practice that they did then they kicked off. They'd been playing about 15 minutes when she turned to me and said - " Have they started yet ? "

How I remember it was we sold Byrom to part fund the purchase of Gilliver. I saw Gilliver playing for Huddersfield the season before we signed him and before he did his disc. He was going to be a top player. The back injury really handicapped him, especially after he had the operation. I had a similar disc problem and within an hour of playing I would be stiff as a board and walking like an old man. I'd just get pain free in time to do it all over again the following week.

Jason Steele ?

That's a bad do, It's a shame for the player. Chances were he might have been off to Stoke. We've had no luck with injuries this season. That's three first team regulars plus young Butterworth all out with season ending injuries.

It does sound pretty bad but a fractured cheek bone is not a fractured skull. Sean Edwards played 75 minutes of a Rugby League Cup Final with a fractured cheek bone after he'd been stiff armed early on in the game. We're unlikely to see him again this season, I think that much is certain.

John Byrom wasn't the same player when he came back to Rovers. He'd been away for the best part of 10 years. Letting him go to Bolton in the first place was an idiotic decision. We spent loads on the likes of Jim Fryatt, Frank Lord, Don Martin, Bryan Conlon, Barry Endean, John O'Mara, Mike Hickman, Ken Beamish, Gordon Hindson, trying to replace him and only the Don came near in terms of ability. All the while Byrom was banging them in over at Bolton.

I watched them the other night against Arsenal. If they'd have had a goalscorer they would have won that game. Having said that they'd played with just Bamford up front. You couldn't play Rhodes up front on his own and if they'd have played with Bamford and Rhodes up front they might not have dominated the midfield as they did with 5 in midfield.

After 50 odd years of watching Rovers the day Coyle was appointed was the day I gave up. Only temporarily of course. I don't get the Rhodes thing. It's not like we're making loads of chances in games and not taking them.

Serge Trousers ? Yes, a lame joke.

Serge Trouzez ?

Rodriguez knocked a few in also.

Not to mention provide a bit of goal mouth excitement into the bargain.
