Robbie or Roy ?

The Brown cow on Livesey branch road.

I would hope, every time the keeper commits a foul.

The challenge was reckless, uncontrolled, and dangerous. That is why it should be a red.

Have the new rules been explained to the players ? If so I have no sympathy with a player who breaks a rule and is punished, then a few minutes later breaks another rule and gets punished again. It is up to the players to manage their own games. Szmodic showed what to do, after his equaliser.

To tell the truth, it doesn't matter what you or I think. Those who make the rules have made a decission and have brought in a rule that can be implemented. The refs have to be consistant in doing that, and the players have to learn quickly. I remember when shouting, leave it, when the opposition were going for the ball was prevalent. This was made illegal and the refs punished it with a freekick; it soon went out of the game.

But holding up a pretend card, with no reaction from the ref, is a signal to the crowd and the assessors that the ref has lost control. If a player says something to the ref, it is between the two of them, and gives the ref the choice of having a quiet word, or booking the player. The new rule about booking a player who waves an imaginary card, has been explained to these players. I realise some players are thick, but I don't think it will be long before waving cards is a thing of the past, if refs are consistant with their punishment.

They are usually on sale to season ticket holders about three weeks before a game, then become available on open sale about a week before the game. So you would be looking at around the last week of September for the Coventry game.

During the warm up at Rotherham, it was good to see Wahlstedt jump over the wall to have selfies with some young Rovers fans.

The Juggernaut has come to a low bridge.

Class bird.

I am just glad that Mowbray is not our worry anymore.

Or the players might have thought, we keep what we have. A point away from home when we were 2-0 down, is not so bad.

I thought for most of the game our players were poor, against a really weak opposition, but as you say onwards and upwards

I thought in the first half the ref gave them everything.

I don't get this dummy run up to the penalty, No one would take a penalty from a standing start, but that is what happens when players do the staggered kick. Don't think about it, just put your foot through the ball, and make sure it's on target.

Rotherhams goalie was booked for exactly the same.

But we haven't got those sort of players, so we have to play to what we have got.

Very nervously.

Until he walked off in front of us I didn't know he was playing.

No, just a realist, were you happy with todays performance ? I know I wasn't

For me the only person to come out of todays game with any credit is JRC.

The reason we always take short corners is because we are, as a team so small, putting the ball into the box would achieve fuck-all. What we need to be , is better at the short corners.

The idiots on the pitch did it for me today

If those 8500 want to buy season tickets, that is their prerogative, but don't moan about it later on.
