  1. Here's the game with Grabbi's equaliser. A certain little Boglin scores for the bin dippers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hp39umWHTxI
  2. From the Gary Bowyer school of thought. Set-up to contain the opposition in the first-half, and luckily break them down in the second. Not dissimilar to the likes of Allardyce & Pulis, but the difference is their sides were by and large punching above their weight to stay in the division, not leading a promotion charge.
  3. Does Batty and Le Saux's bust-up also count?
  4. Oh and who could forget this gem:
  5. Birdy's kit promo Paul Ince's first press conference Steve Kean unironically talking about us signing Ronaldinho and Beckham
  6. Poor Grabbi. He obviously wasn't cut out for Premiership football but he didn't catch a break either. Goal stolen by Damo, legit goal disallowed against Manure. And I expect his laissez-faire impression coupled with the overinflated price-tag didn't endear him to his fellow team-mates. Technically, he was far from the worst striker to have our books in recent memory.
  7. I'd say Mowbray has a knack of pulling a result out of the bag when he's under pressure. Sadly, I don't think he's under any pressure yet.
  8. Think it was in reference to the idea of Roy Keane and Venkys working together.
  9. Might be worth bringing Nyambe in at CB alongside Tosin. Let's face it, Bennett is bulletproof at RB. On the left side, we will probably play Bell, for our sins. Not a lot of option. It's him, Williams, an untried youngster or Downing (more square pegs in round holes). Laughable that Mowbray's allowed us to get into this mess.
  10. Win or lose, happy days. That kind of complacency epitomises Rovers in their current form.
  11. Yes, it all depends on who has Venky's ear, the phase of the moon and the direction of the wind. That sort of thing. Mowbray has his mate on the board and the goodwill from L1 promotion to keep him in Venky's good graces a little longer.
  12. Nyambe won't get a look in at RB while Benno's captain. Tosin and Hart are unknown quantities, and Williams is a squad player at best. We might be able to cobble defence together to see us through the season but I think it's gonna get rough.
  13. Bell should've moved out in the summer. We needed at least two new left-backs and two centre-backs. Mulgrew started the season opener, then had his card marked without us signing a replacement. It seems that once we passed on Bauer we just threw our hands up and bumbled on. Shambles.
  14. Because strikers are glamorous and often sell on for big bucks. All about that markup value.
  15. Rhodes, Brereton, Gallagher... Venkys have this habit of occasionally bankrolling the odd "marquee signing" and leaving the rest of the squad woefully underinvested.
  16. True. Doubt we got much for him, though. Preston, Leeds, Swansea all spent peanuts this summer, so I shouldn't be giving Mowbray excuses. And we've been able to keep hold of Dack for another year.
  17. Is "drawing the foul" English for going down like a pansy? Mane got crucified last week but nothing about Sterling's blatant dive tonight.
  18. Kinda scary to think that Gallagher was the only player we paid money for this summer. Everyone else was a freebie or a loan deal. And we got £3m for Raya, so that's only a £2m net spend.
  19. Didn't Duffer kiss the Chelski badge or do something OTT when he scored against us? Don't get the sense we were all that special to him. Phenomenal player ofc.
  20. Is that from the Make-A-Wish Foundation?
  21. Chris Coleman Charismatic guy, knows the club, did a good job at Wales (like our last great manager).
  22. Thank fook Mowbray didn't have £25m to spend!
  23. Having watched that goal again, Damo points to himself afterwards like "Yeah that was me!" You tapped in a header on the goal-line that was already going in, dude. ?
  24. Haha glad I'm not the only one. I was re-watching that game the other month and felt sorry for Grabbi.
  25. It wasn't long ago we were all crying out for a tried and tested manager. Now we should give it a U23 coach? I have no idea who Venkys would hire next. I never saw them bringing in Paul Lambert & co. even if it didn't work out in the end.
