Dobing and McLeod in extra time.

In the first game, we came from 3 down to level it for the replay. The first was a dubious pen 😉

Nothing dubious about it. I was there!

Was Birdy the guy who has a house on the side street at the end of the DE car parks? I think there are life-size cutouts of him and his wife in the windows!

RIP

Condolences to his famly and friends. 

 

That's him. RIP Birdy

It worked for me 🙂

I don't think that home matches are available in the UK. Might be on Sky red button but failing that you need to go or find a stream

He lost his place originally because he was injured though, and there's every chance he would have been back on the treatment table soon enough if he had been reintroduced. We don't know the exact reason as to why Ayala wasn't in the first eleven when he had presumably regained fitness, but either way it's a bad look for Ayala to have only played a third of our league matches since joining, and an equally bad look for Mowbray in giving him a three year deal on what we have to assume are relatively high wages. 

I'd happily move him on in the summer if possible, but I'm not sure if anybody would be interested in matching the wages we're giving him.

Highest wages at the club!

Would make my week, never mind weekend!

Btw good to see you posting Al, we spent too many years discussing the hard-work stuff, many years before a decent season, the days when we’d dream about the best home form in the league. Hope you’re well.

Thanks. I'm still around and have kept my season ticket in spite of not being well enough to attend just yet. I read more than post these days.

I'm keeping the faith. 1 - 0 to Rovers.

Meh, somehow they both need to lose

Just Burnley getting beat will do for me.😀

It's rained non stop all day. This suits Nobbers rough house style

Dolan should have made it 3

Remember that black/blue or white/gold dress?

Feel like I'm looking at both.

Or the Brown kit.

Mowbray rarely never gets a back 3 working effectively

98 days until Diaz can sign for another club on a free. 

Are you sure it's on a free? He's only 22.

What an absolute crime it'll be to lose Ben on a free next summer.

Would we not get a fee (young player)

Think it was 170 quid I paid so that's one hell of a month's splurge if it was!!!

It's fine...I'm just watching Ronaldo instead. Not that he's done owt yet. Tell you what, that Saint Maximan is a heck of a player...

Wow. You should get video of every match for that!

Just now, TheRoversReturn said:

Yes. Had all the games live until now. 

Did you just pay for one month. It's September now.

Just now, TheRoversReturn said:

I'm getting nowt. 

Have you registered and paid the fee?

Would prefer to watch 

So would I but the league don't allow it in Saturday 3pm matches.

Ya, saw that. Pity.

Commentary only available on Rovers TV @ £4-50 a month.

If we want our club to continue I would suggest that we all stop moaning and buy a season ticket unless we want to do a Bury or Bolton.

I went to a grammar school (St Mary's College) under the Direct Grant scheme and we were poor because my dad had to serve in WW2 and we had only my mum's wage. Shortly before I took my exam we got a council house and that was an upgrade. The scheme was brilliant and gave kids like me a chance to better themselves. Now, thanks to Labour's "equal opportunities" that is no longer available and I believe that to be a retrograde step.

Hello Al, hope you are well pal 👍

Much better than I was thanks. How are you doing?

It has Al. You weren’t that well at one point, hope you’re okay.

Much better thanks Den. I had a kidney transplant and whilst I was on heavy immunsurppressants the bloody hospital allowed me to gat a flu like infection. Although I don't have much of a memory of it my wife says it was touch and go for a while but I am much better now but can't walk very far. My golf has gone by the wayside.
