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!

Well thats impossible. No chance of Ipswich agreeing.

So nothing counts from that game except the red card from which someone other club will benefit and the cash that people paid to watch a game that's null and void? Way of the world! Presumably season-ticket holders won't be charged to see the "second" game!

Isn't it the Venky effect that's to blame?

Oh I quite agree with you there. I'm still only thinking in the possibly will avoid the drop scenario.

If only the latest "result" had stood, we'd have won 3 of our last 4 games. That's a reasonable run and we'd be looking up. Great shame.

By the way, we speculated how long the Carter/Wharton partnership would last free of injury. Answer----days not weeks!

True ---how many goals are scored in the 96th minute or even later?

The point is we shouldn't have to sell our best players and hope that we can scour the globe and replace them at lower cost to give us a squad as good as we have! Huge gamble to stay where we are!! Our aim should be got improve year on year. We should keep our best players and scour the globe if necessary to make the squad even stronger. Creating a squad as good as we had shouldn't be seen as an achievement. It means we will never leave this league except via relegation.

I can absolutely see us relegated at the end of the season 2 points short of safety. 😭
