Agreed on Price but he wasn't in the starting X1. Remember Napier being described as "mercurial". Very good on his day but there weren't many of them at all to the best of my recollection.

Bet you were good at Cluedo.

Agreed. Really poor game.

Im not a Neville fan at all but I didnt think he said anything wrong at all. He said Martinelli trying to push the injured Bradley off the pitch was an absolute disgrace, which I completely agree with and he was surprised one of the Liverpool players hadn't chinned Martinelli (or similar) which I cant disagree with at all.

Waddington and Fazackerly. That was an incredibly classy CB pairing for Division 3. The Hansen and Lawrenson of the Lower Leagues. Look how attacking that line up was as well Endean, Napier, OMara and Field. Ok they were all pretty crap apart from Field but thats not the point. Game hasn't necessarily changed for the better.

It's a close one. Thought Hendry was a far more consistent performer week in week out.

When did the person who "has moved" move? Im only really getting Gueye vibes out of those 3. Pickering? Forshaw?

Can you imagine: 1) How did you manage to completely derail last season's play off push before ten minutes of your second match had even expired? 2) What does it feel like to have the worst home record in the Club's 150 year history this time round? 3) Why was Hyam sold in the last few hours of the summer transfer window without a replacement? 4) Why did you say the Club could fix the pitch in lieu of spending money in the January window? 5) Do you regret producing "the list" of perceived grievances against officials? 6) As you've been quite adamant that this season's squad is at least comparable to last season's - how do you explain the dip in position from 6th to 20th? etc etc....... Lol.

Fair enough if that's the case. I think a yellow or red card protest is a really good idea. Nothing whatsoever the Club can do about it and you can do it again and again at appointed times in different matches. I just possibly wouldn't do it at a match when the main initiative was a boycott. Can never have too many good ideas.

I've no idea what the state of his back injury was but I always thought he looked like he had ability. Having been sent to Coventry in finest Gueye fashion it seems as though his major crime was to stick up for that female member of staff who got sacked.

Answer the question I put to you then instead of swerving it: Would you personally actively participate in (for example) a yellow/red card protest inside the ground? I've already said around the time of the Derby fixture, I'd come down to a match to participate in a protest if something suitable were to be organised. I can't boycott, having already voted with my feet some time ago.

Lol £120 for a box and the shirt (costing £80) looks like a piece of old rag. Sums up the Club's attitude towards the fans.

So that's a no then. So to summarise You won't boycott (even for one game) You won't consider not renewing your ST next time round You won't actively participate in any in ground protest. That's absolutely fine. Im sure there's a lot more like you. My view would be you're not going to change your stance no matter what is said, it's unrealistic to expect you, or others of a like mind, would.

Completely agree, there's no point watering the message down to satisfy a section of the fan base who don't really support your aims in the first place.

Would you personally hold up a yellow or red card saying something like "Venky's Out!" then?

Yep. (In no particular order) Sir Roger, Tony Field, Shearer, Duff, dead heat between loads for the fifth - maybe just Hendry.

Really sad news about Tony Field. As everyone else from the time would confirm, a true Rovers great. When you think of the assorted dross we've had masquerading in the blue and white halves over the years, it's enough to make you weep compared to Field.

Literally looks about 12 on the photos of him on the Internet. I again struggle to see why we'd pay to take a punt on this guy but won't even give Tyjon an opportunity.

Just out of interest, what is it that makes anyone believe a word he says? He didnt like loans either, supposedly.

Or did he know there was no chance whatsoever of that, but said it anyway to try and placate a gullible fan base? The signing we have made only seems to be here because he won't cost us anything whatsoever.

Ill be really annoyed if we put a line up like that out. It SHOULD be the strongest possible line up. (But won't be I know, it's just a question of degree.)

I have been reading what you're writing. The Coalition are acting in good faith and doing their best. The fan base will never be in complete agreement about this but some things that are tried will no doubt appeal more to some than they will to others and vice versa. It serves no purpose to "carp" about individual initiatives. (Sorry if you dont like that term.)

You started off by disagreeing with the call for a boycott per se then when that wasn't quite in accordance with the majority view, shifted the goalposts and said you didnt agree with it being on a Saturday game, should have been a night match. But do keep contributing these "different ideas".

I've consistently said it needs to be a long and varied campaign. You dont seem to "get" or even entertain my basic point either that not everyone will be in agreement, ever, but that shouldn't be a stick to beat the Coalition with.

It "could" snow in August. I did say "more or less". We'll have to see. Either way scrapping to finish 21st isn't what I want to see.
