So they "pretend both game are equal" by consistently covering one more than the other... 

Their coverage of the female game is certainly disproportionate to its actual popularity and status, yup.

Really? You think that the BBC covers women's football on the same level as they cover men's?

Nope but they'll pretend both games are equal and keep shilling it.

He hasn't been good but he has been mismanaged aswell.The manager bought him with no clue how to use him.

Are you suggesting Mowbray didn't do his homework on a player who cost us £7m?

I agree. So why is my season ticket so much more expensive than one for the ladies? Isn't that sexist?

No, it doesn't work both ways, silly.

Ugh, really? ?

I never got the love for that one or the logic behind it.

BREAKING NEWS: Chelsea sign De-Bruyne in club record deal.

*opens article*

Chelsea have signed Mary De-Bruyne from Doncaster Belles...

FFS.

That's because it would be "sexist" not to have the men and women's games on level pegging. 

What makes some ex-pro who gives Rovers a cursory mention more "knowledgeable" about the club than the fans who eat, sleep and breathe everything Rovers?

Like Stu said, plenty of managers/ex-players were telling us to give Kean a chance.

Worst gameshow ever. How is it so popular?

I wish we'd have halved away kits every year, just with rotated colours. So few teams in world football have a style of kit as uniquely identifiable as ours - we should make as much of it as possible. 

Don't these companies pour money into marketing divisions?

I know BRFCS is a small sample size but there's always a clamour for the red & black halved jersey, and I bet there's plenty of fans outside here who'd lap it up.

Seems the club are missing a trick.

We can't even find a CB or a LB. No chance of us buying a new RB, especially when Agent Benno is still on the books.

There is irony in slagging off Kipre for going to West Brom for money (based on a fictitious theory that he has gone to warm the bench) and slag off Mulgrew for sitting on a decent contract yet endorse us signing a keeper who knows that he has not come to play. Plenty of which has been seen, not specifically you, at Rovers fans in general.

Surely no one's seriously slagging off Kipre? 

Yeah, I get the bias but Kipre has no allegiance to us. If it was the other way around, we'd be wondering why Kipre chose midtable Championship mediocrity instead of breaking into a Premier League team for more money.

We are most likely entering this season with the same backline that we finished with in League One. Even if we sign a new CB, that's still shocking, considering the defensive frailties that have been apparent for ages.

There's a "slow build" and then there's taking the piss.

Williams at CB is underestimated. He held the back line together today with his experience. Not favoured by Mowbray, it seems, nor by many on here, but we are going to need him alongside Lenihan against Bournemouth at this rate.

I think the problem is that we're still relying on players like Williams. 

I can't take a player seriously called "Dewsbury-Hall".

Sounds like the setting of a Jane Austen novel. 

Good feet from JRC. Why was he ever playing full-back?

Not bad so far. Holtby has looked lively and Nyambe's been a threat.

Did someone say we had a promotion team?

So, another silent day on the transfer front for us.

Brace yourself.

Bit more than that. We need two CBs, at least one LB, another keeper and that's a minimum. Ideally we would be looking to improve in other areas too rather than sticking with the same old.

So there's 4 signings needed and quickly. Given it seems to take weeks and weeks to get one done and with the League kicking off in 9 days time it really is a shocking situation to be in. 

The excuses will come thick and fast.

First it will be telling people to wait until October when the window closes. Then there will be sob stories about Covid 19, no money, FFP, travel restrictions, quarantine, unusual circumstances, targets getting poached by other clubs, the stars not aligning as hoped. Everyone else can find a way to get the bare minimum in the building. Our scenario has been unfolding before our eyes for 2 years and we still haven't solved it.

There's fans making excuses for the ground looking like a shithole and the club not opening the shop. You can be damn sure they'll be lining them up for our lack of transfer activity.

I hope people realize all this agent Benno stuff is what gets him in the team all the time when often/mostly he shouldn't be. He ain't daft he knows how to keep himself relevant beyond being a utility man. Team captain and the manager is scared stiff of sidelining him, remember that when he's being slated this season after games.

He works hard and takes our plan onto the pitch!

Any reason we can think of why all the other local clubs (mostly with similar sized fanbases or smaller) have come to the conclusion that it is a sound business decision to have their shops open, kits on sale, STs available whilst we don’t?

The crickets speak volumes.

The amount of blue balls on here 

Is Dolan playing? He looks a real livewire!
