I think Chaddy is too quick to write off Graham who has been a wonderful servant for the club. Trying too hard to justify TM's spectacular purchase imo. Poor do.

I hope you're messing about but profiting from other people's misery and you love it? really? For every Mercer there are dozens who should be feeding their families. Didn't have you down as a Thatcherite!

You must be quiet to the point of reticence about your wins then!

There is a plan. A financial one anyway, as a result of those 2 lots of auditors activities during the summer which, at least in part, recommended what sort of player we should go for to earn maximum return. Hence Ben Brereton. Whether promotion was discussed or not I have no idea. I suspect the plan didn't envisage home crowds of 12000 so we'll need another plan for that!

Chaddy doesn't do empathy rf99! Since Chaddy has a season ticket, promotional offers for individual games mean nothing to him. In his world, the answer to higher attendances is that more people should buy season tickets.

They obviously didn't have a clue about anything Den and were totally dependent on information from lying, self-serving wretches thousands of miles away. A recipe for disaster which duly occurred. Let's hope those "sunny uplands" are back within reach again eh?!

"you" being Venkys I assume Den? Sorry but its not obvious! (or I'm being thick!)

From memory most thought we'd finish halfway or, at any rate, avoid the drop. I honestly cannot recall anyone forecasting we would be relegated. So where you get "most said we would go down" from is beyond me.

Anyone read the puke-making comments after the article?

Isn't it more like anyone can apply? And "no" I wouldn't like to join but if I did join that would in no way resolve the problem. I would be applying to join a group which specifically says it does not represent the fans but only discusses issues which directly affect the fans!

Tammy Abraham was brilliant in creating that goal for Villa against Bolton eh? Wish we had nabbed him.

11000 posts over more than a decade! You'll be passing me soon the rate you're going. And they'll all be the same, about which little gang is trying to shout you down, you poor persecuted little paranoid. I have very reasoned exchanges with people I sometimes disagree with, Ironically Parson Blue would be one! You don't have any civilised discussion with anyone. I imagine you screaming at the keyboard while you type. I've got you on ignore but you keep getting quoted unfortunately, I'm going to resist the temptation to civilly disagree with you from now on and simply ignore you as you deserve. You have become a serial pest.

Very sad.I would have loved him here. However we move on. I mentioned Demi Mitchell (currently with Hearts) as a possible, though I assume Hearts have him for the season. Any views on him?

I would think Parson had his own views and wouldn't be quoting you in support of them! I wouldn't be arguing you two and Chaddy had a little "gang" either like you do. I'm sick of hearing who's labelled positive and who's been labelled negative. I'm sick of hearing that you are a passionate Rovers supporter. We all are, that's why we on here! Why don't you take a step back, refresh, rethink your approach and come back with something engaging to say?

You're in danger of outliving your welcome!

Well, let's face it, Its their fault after all.

I'll finish with this one Paul. First of all you have never said I'm an idiot but you must think I'm one if I believed that trip to Pune involved sacrifice. Second, I do not ignore the fact that the FF is not an elected democratic body.You seem quite happy with that and want it to continue this way or so I assume? The whole basis of my post is that this is wrong! It should be democratic or it should cease to exist. Third, I appreciate that people who give up their time and energy to improve things for Rovers fans are admirable but they should do it within an open, democratic and inclusive framework. OK? That's it from me on this issue.

I thought we might struggle early till we got to grips with the step-up, then improve and end up finishing halfway. But we have exceeded expectations and I'm revising my view. I think we have a chance of top 6 but might miss out.

I've looked at it so many times and I just don't understand why some think it was a bad decision! We're a strange species!

There's an interesting "article' on News Now showing QPR fan's responses to the penalty. First tweet says never a pen, the next 6 or 7 say clear penalty, correct decision! Restores your faith in your fellow humans. Obvious don't think much of their own manager though!

Not by me! A few have said they wished he'd have shot at the time but they seem to accept he did the right thing don't they?

Not doing badly in terms of late goals conceded at the moment are we?

We need to take our chances to do tis. Defence has been pretty sound but we don't score enough. Given our points total at this stage of the season, its ridiculous that we have a -goal diff, even if its is only one. Teams below us have a +.

Rude and arrogant.

If the body was democratic there wouldn't have been all that controversy. The first thing that a representative group should have voted on was "should we accept the Raos' offer or not?" 2nd--who should go? Members, ie eligible fans to vote on representatives. Democratic and accountable. And if someone bottled it when it was his turn to speak the members could call him out when he got back! I accept that the FF had to accept the offer and said so at the time but the negative feed-back would have been avoided if the FF was a truely representative body. And please don't flog the sacrifice angle. Unaccountable members got a free trip to India,in business class, wined and dined at a wealthy family"s expense and all to talk about their Favourite subjesct---Rovers. We're not idiots you know!
