For anyone arguing whether we're a weaker team this season - just playing A. Wharton in CM every game makes us better. What a player.

We need to stop trying to walk it in - shoot on site.

Sema a country mile offside before winning this free kick. EFL refs, never change.

Yes. That's a very, very weak bench and the starting front 3 isn't much to write home about either.

Tella is off to Bayer Leverkusen for £20m, apparently - and people wonder why I want the world for A. Wharton.

Yeah I think promotion is off the table - we haven't backed JDT enough.

How many goals do we reckon Kaminski is going to concede this season? I hope they at least doubled his wages, the poor sod.

JDTs interview today - it's on the Rovers Twitter account.

Another no-show when it matters from Lancashire. They've already started the clear-out with Lamb, Jones, Vilas and Parkinson all leaving. Time for Chilton and Chapple to follow suit - it's simply not good enough.

They need to have a conversation with ICC - they've implemented a third umpire beautifully. The main difference is that they allow a margin for error for the on-field call (e.g. Umpire's call for ball-tracking). VAR officials get their rulers and protractors out to judge whether a striker's toe is offside, which fundamentally changes how the game is officiated - the linesman can't see that on the field. To me they need to introduce some common sense back into it e.g. "yeah he's clearly offside there (not the heel of a defender playing him on etc) / yeah the ball has hit his hand there but it's not intentional / yeah he's caught him there but there's clearly no intent, so yellow card only". That would take brave officials though, which we're in very short supply of it seems. They hide behind a literal interpretation of the rules.

I used to live near the Etihad Stadium - you saw the Man City (womens) team all the time.

Which is quite a statement when you see them in person - they're all whippets.

LOL Spain getting booed playing against England in an Australian stadium. Says it all really.

Like kicking the ball away (automatic yellow card) and time wasting by changing corner kick taker (automatic yellow card)?

LOL even their Head Coach is feigning to stop the ball (that ran out of play) then stepping over it to waste time. Utter cunts.

Useless or bent? I'm not sure, but she's called two matches against us that's for sure.

As I said, it's a shame they've brought the dark arts in. Diving, reigning injury, cynical pull backs. Ah well.

Yep - VAR is so poorly implemented, it's so black and white with no room for context. So on that note, c'mon then VAR, their player has just kneed our lass in the head. Red card please.

Games gone now - another incredibly soft penalty from VAR.

It's really not - it's too slow to be hugely enjoyable.

Sadly all three have been shit.

Watching this Spanish team it's a shame diving has crept into the game - the honesty was one of the few charms it had as a spectator sport.

Another small, nippy #10? No thanks.

That's the problem with Hedges - he's a tidy player until it comes to the final ball (pass or shoot) and then he's terrible. He's a very useful squad player, but god help you if he starts every week.

Rovers can't hurt me anymore.
