Hopefully the ‘95 one. I appreciate they’re now in their 50s but I’d still have more confidence in them getting the win we all crave.

I think we’re close to that point already. Who, other than Sammie, would we be confident of selling for decent money?

Coventry make 5 changes for tonight’s match - they obviously have one eye on their trip to Ewood 😄

The big clubs also keep an eye on youth football and hoover up anything and everything they can get their hands on. They don’t even need any of them to work out for this method to be successful as the minuscule ‘compensation’ they have to pay for academy players is easily recouped through loaning them out to the lower divisions. The whole system is set up for the benefit of the big clubs (see also, no more FA cup replays)

I don’t agree they’re to blame for the Philips situation but I do agree a business model which is difficult/impossible to achieve (due to the current system) is a flawed one.

Surely whether that was a fuck up by us depends on whether he’d have still signed without a clause/if the clause was higher. As shit as our club is, I think ‘the system’ is the main culprit in this case. It will probably end up the same with Finneran (if we even manage to keep him until he can sign a pro contract) and may well have happened with Wharton had he not been a Rovers fan.

They should put that on the season ticket blurb.

Give it time and we’ll reach his level.

If it takes more than a few seconds to decide whether a clear and obvious error has been made then by definition any error can’t have been clear and obvious. They’re looking for perfection when (1) that was never the intention of VAR (2) they’re nowhere near capable of achieving this.

The last three seasons have all been draws.

I’m not convinced he’d come to a championship Rovers either.

No, they’ve been given the whole of the lower tier. Because he’s a twat.

That’s probably £750,000 more than our transfer budget will be.

This Buffon perhaps…

Their league position, whilst far better than ours, would suggest they don’t often play like that.

Did anyone suggest to them that there’s a link between the team’s performances and the ‘atmosphere’ of the home fans?

Buffon one match, Buffoon the next.

Paul McCartney And The Frog Chorus - We All Stand Together

15 touches in total (you needed to scroll down a bit further…)

I know but only because I cheated 😄😄

What made the ref assume there would be a next time? 🧐🤨

Simple Minds - Don’t You (Forget About Me)

I’d personally go for the defenestration option.

I’ve no idea about that but this season as a whole he’s had 22 shots (12 on target) at an average of 1 every 66 minutes.
