  1. I must admit I thought it was a joke. The link saying tm promises fan excitement only to click on it for it to say sorry that page doesn’t exist. Even though he’s actually made such ludicrous claims I still think the irony of the page not existing is funny.
  2. Good question. I’d get rid of swag first. Then if stumble on a decent replacement they’d almost certainly get rid of Mowbray or at the very least kick him up his backside.
  3. Reminds me of the pub league used to play in ring around at the twelfth hour just to get bodies in and the game to go ahead.
  4. So in summary. The berk signed Burke. Existing berk wanted a striker but ended up with about 3 wingers which is ok because he thinks they’re strikers anyway. The new Burke is from Mowbray.
  5. If anything is actually being worked on you’ve just got to picture who’s working on it. That fat Geordie slug. Wouldn’t trust him with the weekly grocery shop let alone a deal for a striker.
  6. In the mind of moggasurus strikers and wingers are totally interchangeable. It’s not even a question for him. Perhaps he thinks strikers are already here in great abundance.
  7. For all I think the squad is piss poor and needs strengthening in a way new faces concerns me. With Tonebola more options means more tinkering and lunacy. He’s at his best (in the loosest definition of the word) when his hands are tied and there’s limited options.
  8. Do any you lads or lasses know anything about games consoles? Thinking of getting a 2nd hand PlayStation 4 for nephews birthday. But if these things are obsolete now and useless then I’ll not bother. I’m more of the vintage of the Commodore 64 playing trollie wallie and then the Amiga 500 playing lemmings and a 2D version of grand theft auto. Totally out of my depth, the world of computer games has largely passed me by over the last 30 years.
  9. I suppose if they were vocally well supported that’s fine. But for me I always thought less than 1,000 on a Saturday afternoon for rovers anywhere in the country is my line in the sand for being a joke. £30 + covid + Mowbray + venkys = this. That said went boro before or after a millennium stadium game 500 max, Everton away after Rotterdam same. Defo niche examples but I suppose less than 1000 is the ‘new normal.’
  10. Pretty much the same story every season under Mowbray. There are months we have solid play off form. Then death spirals where it’s solid relegation form and seemingly little middle ground.
  11. I’m not convinced we have footballs let alone a gym.
  12. No idea if he’s better than Buckley or Dolan but they are rovers players this guy is a leeds United player. Loan players are like running on a treadmill they get us nowhere, he might be good or terrible but he’ll be off next season or sooner and it’s done nothing for rovers.
  13. Our own youth players consistently outperform these so called big clubs academy sides at pretty much all levels. Yet once again a leeds academy player goes straight in.
  14. Should be over by lunch this. Their bowlers really can’t bat. Made the Lords tactics such as they were all the more atrocious.
  15. I knew we were about 30 light but with 6 players missing I went in with zero expectations. We were in that stand had great fun rilling the local Worzel Gummidges. Shame they had the last laugh. As a side note met loads of rovers fans there, far more than ever encountered before. Yeah that’s true, and let’s face it the one test ground is the Coke Zero of test grounds.
  16. If this 100 works they could do a version with 20 more deliveries. Then if that takes off they could even think about a 50 overs game. If there’s still interest in that could even play a format that potentially lasts 5 days. Imagine that. The ECB are a total shambles. They have managed to compromise every single format of domestic cricket even their ludicrous flagship tournament the 16.4 doesn’t have the elite players now. They gave that a prime slot in the summer months so what’s it been 7 weeks since the last county championship game. Even before this latest junk food answer to fine dining the cc was rendered a spring and autumn format. The RLC was at best a 2nd xi tournament and for Lancs and injuries it became a quasi 3rd xi tournament. The t20 regularly clashes with the national side not least of all the quarter finals and with the ridiculous scheduling at the very least counties with international players will never have their best players available in any format. Also I think the ecb are prioritising McCricket to such a degree now players, particularly young players, will be enticed to that to the detriment of all proper red ball technique in favour of bat speed and power. My prediction is Livi (who’s very credible first class average was over 40 until recently) will become a victim of this mentality of sacrificing real cricket to pimp himself all over the world playing IPL, big bash and ultimately won’t remember what to do with a red ball. The Indians seem to be able to turn their hand to both and perhaps that lies in the mentality of wanting to do well in both. Currently I’m not convinced the England set up give a toss about test cricket, not that they’d ever publicly admit that.
  17. It’s been a great and frankly surprising start to the season. Beaten 2 sides who I imagine will be near the bottom with rovers but history has shown the better we do the more confident moggadon is with experimenting with tactics and formations (although I appreciate he claims he’s not bothered by either) which I believe in no small part contributes to the death spirals. When they line up today I feel there’s something mental in the pipeline formation wise.
  18. Game went with who I assume as their pro smashing them about at the end. Better team won tbf Burnley folk really are the dregs of humanity though. Of course we all knew that anyway no surprises there.
  19. Yeah with those extra fingers spin bowling is another level.
  20. Lowerhouse is definitely Burnley there is a lot of scummy looking people here that clearly aren’t from the Ribble valley. Never seen so many tracksuits or so few teeth.
  21. Still no joy. On the basis I can’t remember the last game rovers ever sold out, let alone one midweek, its almost as if the club has managed to mess something up. In this case their own website.
