We were singing his praises on here after that Blackpool debut though. Don't know if the words "world class" were used but it was obvious he was really special. Never seen a debut like it.

He's contracted til 2029. Don't suppose it's urgent for Palace. Might want to win a Premiership first!

Cheap?

Anyone still think the squad is stronger than last season?

Well you've just summed it up nicely! Why the optimism then?

It's not stats which tell us what sort of team we are---it's the League Table. And right now it tells us we are in deep trouble.

Tragedy unfolding before our eyes and we are powerless to stop it. Club is toxic from top to bottom. Massive disconnect between fans and club. Manager is useless but has a 3 year contract. Let's hope there's enough supporters left to pick up the pieces when the inevitable occurs. Situation has never been worse.

Yes

Sheff Wed players told they won't be paid on time ---again. There's always someone worse off than yourself!! We only have the second worst owners in Britain.

Not widely reported though?

Women's team has been turned into a joke. utterly shameful. I wonder if they will see the season out? No respect from Rovers, tearing us apart.

I forgot to mention this before, but I read the comments on the LT's Rovers site quite often and the usual suspects on there have been carrying on about Jackson for months----"negative, always showing the club in a bad light, keeps bringing up old stories that makes the club look bad etc." They were particularly hard on his coverage of Eustace leaving and on Travis' transfer. I just wrote that off as cranks being cranks but you have to think now maybe it was more than that.

And if that is what Freidal thought he is entitled to say so and Jackson is right to report it.

Jackson did refer to the Gestade bare arm incident at the training ground which Gestede has hotly denied. That story seems to have really got to him. Possibly what he was angling to sue Glen for as well?

I think Pasha/Gestede and Co have made a mighty blunder here. They can treat their own staff and players like dummies but banning the local paper from reporting Rovers because they don't like what they say is unprecedented. Bound to get national media attention of a very negative kind. Suppose the National Union of Journalists bans their members from reporting on Rovers? We wiil be a laughing stock. This reeks of panic and very much supports Glen's view that the opposition is getting to them. Whoever made this decision is an idiot. I doubt Pune will approve.

Not on X --anyone give me the story? Thanks.

AH!

Well why's he bothering with this discussion then?Why's he call himself Roverit? Quite a few "fans" on the LT site regard any criticism of anything Rovers as treason!

Response from one of our "fans"!! RoveritSUBSCRIBER4 HRS AGO You could see this coming, I’ve commented a few times about the nature of his coverage . I suspect he’s a closet Dingle. He’s always trying to cause trouble and talking rubbish. The Lewis Travis thing being an example

Pretty obvious watching the EFL highlights the there was widespread rain that day but other clubs played on without difficulty. Quite clear that Ewood has a particular problem which the club has ignored and just hoped for the best. That could cost us 3 valuable points this season and who knows how important that could be? Rovers should be announcing that its calling in experts to engineer a lasting solution to a long-standing problem but the club is silent on this matter thus far. Going to continue flying by the seat of your pants are we? One thing is for sure, we won't get away with it next time we are the only club who can't complete a fixture. Fix now or get big fines?

if There's 4000 wanting to come Rovers will always make them available. Looks like our attendances will be up this year because of well-supported away fans. Does the club care? One;y about the money.

The score could be significant. Anything can happen in a flash at 1-0. I feel we'll be hard done by.

When do we expect a decision?

The pitch was unplayable though. It came late in the game but if the ball doesn't roll and it doesn't bounce---then its unplayable. Doesn't matter what the time was, ref had no choice. Ismael has his role to perform I suppose.

Anything other than a full replay would be astonishingly radical and would set a new precedent. I can't see the football authorities being that brave. A good manager should be able to use this though. We should run out on Saturday with a sense of grievance and tear into the opposition!
