Here in Malta I am out for my morning walk by 6.30am and go for the evening walk at 7.30pm or later. Heat won't be so intense at 7pm CEST but will still be a shirt soaker for our players. In contrast, the Qatar players will be in their thermals as it is mid 40s and upwards there this time of the year.

We beat Barcelona 3-2 in Reus with a Shearer hattrick. So is this the Qatar WC squad we are playing? https://www.rovers.co.uk/matches Gobsmacked- there is a GBP5.99 offer to watch both Qatar and Elche on Rovers TV!

But great for keeping BRFCS message board ticking over. I read Ismael as needing forward(s) plus two or three in other positions. So between 4 and 6 more signings. Anyone told Pasha???? PS no loans yet plus noises coming out of Boro point to them being willing to pay silly money to land Brittain...

Or how inflated his agent is...

On the way we have played in the two friendlies, I am happy to assume Ismael knows what he is doing and has a season plan. Extraordinary to have 7 unavailable at this stage in the pre-season but there we are. Obviously playing hard ball with Boro and Derby over Brittain and we might have had a lucky break with Baradji (no not funny..) It is inconceivable we won't pick up at least a couple of loan players in the last day of the window so with the youngsters coming through the competition for places is going to be pretty intensive. We will need some long Cup runs to keep everyone happy.

Surprised no stories about Brittain- pleasantly surprised. Here's hoping Pape, Ohashi, Leonard and Tyjon all kick on this season as I cannot see the piggy bank stretching to a decent forward even if one or more of Brittain, Tronstad and Travis depart. What has happened to Vale?

A fairy tale?

Ismael has this lot extremely well coached. 9 subs and we were playing the same controlling a full strength Everton who really didn't look like scoring. The ball was zipped around crisply and the player in possession always had options - neither of these things could be said about us under Eustace. Let's see if we can build consistency. Pre-season and all that but very very encouraging.

This is extremely encouraging.

If Spurs get Adam And his head injury isn't career changing Then Spurs are going to be serious title challengers with the change in Management and signings made.

Seen the picture?

GBP97m prize money to be exact, paying for it...

Despite all the American enshitification of the spectacle including an 8 minute delay for the intro and a 24 minute HT break, it was good to see PSG humbled by some solid coaching and tough fit quick skilful opposition. PSG invulnerability broken in a single match.

Derby can do us a favour by bidding competitively for Brittain.

That is not going to heal quickly

Won

Isn't this the guy we couldn't get signed on time?

Gueye drive

The Key to making us score again!

Rovers have managed all of one shot on target all afternoon.

Precautionary

10 subs have come on. Only the sub already on remains on.

Accy nearly score- corner

The club is falling apart.
