In this two-parter, BRFCS Canada correspondent Bill Arthur catches up with former Burnley & Wigan defender Steven Caldwell, who is now a pundit on the TSN network in Canada.

Your comments regarding the wallpaper have been passed to Mrs H...I’d go into hiding now if I were you ?

The BRFCS pod squad meets up & records in person for the first time ever. A rendezvous in Sheffield ahead of the game against the Blades (perhaps just as well as events unfolded) providing an opportunity to review 2018's highs & lows, "Defend the Indefensible" and play "Name That Rover". Many thanks to Mike Delap, Jen Bellamy, Linz Lewis, Scott Sumner, Michael Taylor, Matt Grimshaw (young apprentice podcaster), Stuart Grimshaw & Louis G for their contributions. Blame Ian Herbert for the editing. Also available on YouTube if you want to see the "red button" highlights ! View full record

Finished binge-watching this last night & thoroughly enjoyed the insight into a dysfunctional club. Whilst I also enjoyed the “All Or Nothing” on City, this was much more relevant to a Rovers supporter with alarming parallels to our plight at various points over the last 7/8 years. The behind the scenes staff at the club were the real heroes, the ones in the canteen especially. They are the life blood of the club. It also seemed to shine a harsh light on Chris Coleman’s managerial ability. He had a few false dawns but failed to make any lasting changes. Jason Steele’s plight touched me to be honest. He seems a decent enough lad but with a chronic lack of confidence that certainly wasn’t helped by moving from one basket case scenario to another. Great TV, well worth a watch.

Collecting anecdotes/memories for our Review of 2018 podcast which will be recorded on Saturday morning. What are the Rovers highs & lows that have resonated with you this year ? Doncaster will be in there obviously as a high (& yesterday almost certainly as a low...)...but what else, however small, that might not have been noticed by the majority or was personal, made an impression on you...? GO ! ??

Brereton, Harry Chapman & Peter Whittingham are all with the same agency. Not sure what that proves TBH if anything, but having players from the same agency on the books is not a surprise to me TBH.

The podcast panel of Bill Arthur, Jen Bellamy, Mike Delap, Ian Futter, Linz Lewis, Tom Schofield, Scott Sumner, Michael Taylor corralled by host Ian Herbert, answers some festive questions coming up with suggestions for Festive run-out music, Rovers Secret Santa and Boxing Day treats...we would sincerely like to apologise for the singing... Merry Christmas, from all at BRFCS. View full record

Our people are now talking to his people....? @Bigdoggsteel

Thanks ARA...I asked a cheeky question, got a positive reply & John really couldn’t have been nicer. It sort of tied in with the Boro game...? John has said he enjoyed it & would do another one so the next one might be a treatise on 70’s rock music...so er...a different type of pod altogether... ”A different type of pod altogether” ...one for Airplane fans there... One of our correspondents has also done a left field one which will emerge in January....not Strictly Rovers but very definitely with Rovers overtones....watch this space....??

Works in Birmingham & for a Man Utd YouTube channel

I contacted him via Twitter but he didn’t reply BTW...

Hey everyone, just to let you all know we have re-launched the BRFCS YouTube channel and would welcome any suggestions, contributions etc. To get the ball rolling, we have put our 2017 Christmas Podcast up there to whet your appetites for the 2018 Christmas & New Year ones we have planned...? Please subscribe if YouTube is your thing & we’ll put our creative hats on...?? https://www.youtube.com/user/brfcsdotcom

You read my mind...?

I think the premise was an initial ltd edition run to generate demand...which it did...to raise money for the charity as opposed to it being an ongoing commercial operation. i think it’s fair to say the response has been overwhelming & a number of people, me included, have said we should consider doing ones for other players in a similar vein. if we can persuade Jen then watch this space ?

I believe all now sold DB ?

Just for completeness, a stunning £540 raised...astonishing & well done everyone....

Thanks Riversider... Jen has done a terrific job - apparently some of the first ones sold on Saturday were to Harrison Reed’s mum !

1. Yes he has 2. Couldn’t possibly comment ?

Sound quality on this one not as I had hoped in fairness...our contributors were all coming through at different levels so trying to balance a quieter one with a louder one is “challenging” in those circumstances. We are planning to do our first face to face one at the end of the month so hopefully that will improve things...then again we might just end up talking over each other...!!! The title is what Michael (jokingly I should add) said when we talked about Ryan Grant leaving Rovers towards the end. I bleeped out the swear to keep our pod in the child friendly section of iTunes ! Hope that helps. ?
