Come on mate, spill the beans. 😂

Hopefully the stupid, inbred, cretinous moron actually bought one and loses £30, probably a week's wage for the thick, ugly, incest loving dope.

I recall a Marlon Dingle posting on here in the recent past. I wonder if the two are one 😂😂

Whichever way it sends out the right message to any Rovers fans considering buying and for that lot.

That's good but how on earth did they know who he was buying them for? If he (or they) put it on social media then they are as thick as table tops.

Of course it wasn't just down to being physical - I used that as an example to debunk the myth that he isn't up to the rigours of Championship football unless he bulks up. A big part of his performance against Hamer was off the ball when he closed him down, tracked his runs and so on. That is the area where Tomasson said he had to improve to make him a better all round footballer.

This is the kind of owner being attracted to the Premier League and using clubs as a vanity project. If the story is true (it's being reported by lots of media outlets) then his decision to sack Tuchel (for a problem he caused) has cost Chelsea upwards of £13m https://www.football365.com/news/todd-boehly-sacked-tuchel-ex-chelsea-boss-denied-children-half-time-dressing-room

Interestingly one of the Coventry comments is that he stopped one of their best players, Hamer from playing. And yet some of our own fans question his physicality.

At 9.15 this morning we had around 200 left and I was told there would be no further allocation.

Last night's referee was due to be fourth official at Nobbers on Saturday but he has been replaced this morning. I think it's a sensible decision as his mere presence could have been inflammatory.

You are right - I did forget him but I was told that he was Broughtons signing and not Tomassons.

There is some real revisionism on here today. From an attacking point of view look what he inherited. He had Gallagher, almost universally condemned by everyone at some stage, Brereton who just hasn't been Diaz for some time and Dolan who is more of an impact player. He has had to use Vale and Leonard to supplement these. The only attacking player we brought in is Thomas and he didn't come in until January. Tomasson has been let down by Broughton and his recruitment army. He said all along he wanted a striker and got nothing. So far this season we are in a strong position to make the playoffs, got through to the fifth round of the League Cup and quarter finals of the FA Cup. That represents our most successful season in quite a time. It hasn't been perfect, far from it and I have criticised the manager on many occasions but it's his first season in England and the Championship is one hell of a league to cut your teeth in. This summer will be key for me and he needs some backing to build on what he has achieved this far. Football is frustrating at times and things get said irrationally but in the cold light of day who could have come in and done what Tomasson has.

I was earlier than normal last night so had a walk round and bumped into somebody I have known for a long time and who has been employed in the football industry for many years. He told me he had a meeting with Broughton recently and that Broughton now occupies the office that was the managers office under the likes of Hughes, Allardyce and Mowbray. He didn't know where Tomasson's office is now. As they were coming out of the office Tomasson was walking down the corridor and not even a glance was exchanged between Tomasson and Broughton. The guy I was talking to said it was so strange that Broughton didn't introduce him to Tomasson. It also bears out a report in early February that essentially said the relationship between the two had broken down over the failure to bring in players in the positions Tomasson wanted.

Before pretty much every home game I get an email from Rovers about the upcoming game and every one has a warning that any pitch incursion is an offence, breaks ground regulations and will result in action being taken. Last night a Coventry fan ran on from the Darwen End, ran around for a bit, came over the the JW Lower and goaded the Rovers fans before ambling back to the Darwen End where his mates celebrated him like a hero. There were a line of stewards he went through to get on and off the pitch and nobody even tried to get him off the pitch. In what will be a powder key situation next week will any Dingles or Rovers fans be allowed to run into the pitch without any intervention?

The way he creates space for himself on the half turn is a God given gift. Hopefully he gets a lot more opportunities to show his absolute class.

I was probably most annoyed tonight with one incident in stoppage time. We have a free kick for offside and Pears does he bit by taking an eternity. When he knocks it upfield he aims for Brereton, our focal point after Gallagher went off. It's a decent kick but big dopey Brereton is stood offside thus giving Coventry possession and a chance to put us under pressure. Just after they get the corner from which they scored.

An outstanding performance tonight from Adam. Got us on the front foot more often than not and his range of passing is the best at the club. Hopefully Tomasson has seen now that we are much better with him in the team and he should be the first named midfielder on the team sheet.

Rankin-Costello was injured and Brittain was either injured or exhausted. Both had to be changed and given the lack of full back options we had to put Hedges and Carter there.

He was red carded so unless there is a successful appeal he will be in the stand.

Ayala hasn't played a game for a few months. Throwing him into a game like this would be crazy.

I really think the injuries to both full backs was critical tonight. I honestly didn't think it was a five at the back as Thomas got forward but, as he always does he covers well for the full back in this instance Carter. I was happy with the performance though as we played quicker than we have for a few games and at times were a cut above Coventry. I couldn't tell from where I was but I've been told their goal is a clear handball. As always getting a second goal would have been crucial but we just couldn't get it. We are still in there and hopefully we can put Nobbers out of it on Saturday by beating them.

Fielding is leaving.

There are so many permutations it's almost impossible to predict and football is full of variables anyway. Win tonight and then focus on Nobbers is the only thing in my mind right now. The players certainly have it in themselves to beat Coventry tonight but we have to force it, be bold and attack. We can play a part as fans by getting behind them but ultimately it's down to them and Tomasson to get the result we crave. The only certainty in my mind is that it's going to be a nervy evening.

I'm not sure there was any booing (for context there was some but completely disproportionate to the attendance) about it being nil apiece. I thought it was frustration at the pedantic way we were playing. If we played that way but we're one up I don't think there would have been a murmur.
