  1. I’d love to find out what it is Bennett has over Mowbray.
  2. Decent draw. We’re such a bloody frustrating side. Get results against the better teams in the league but add a bit of play off pressure there’s a total meltdown against even the worst sides in the division.
  3. I believe the restaurant is open again on Wednesday 29th of July with a 5 course gourmet menu (wine flight available). Presumably different lunch menu.
  4. Agreed. I’d also like to go to West Ham from potential teams coming down
  5. Useful runs at the end. I’m going to be uncharacteristically optimistic and say we’ll have too much for their batting line-up.
  6. Fair play to holder. On the face of it there’s not a lot too him but his stats as an all-rounder for the last 18 months or so are incredible
  7. I’ve been wanting things to go back to normal. Would have liked the England batting collapse to have stayed in the past though.
  8. And that’s another part of my frustration there’s some bloody awful teams in this division that have occupied 6th. And we still can’t manage it.
  9. I feel more frustrated than celebratory tonight. Same old story of pressure off and we perform. Then a combination of disinterested/disengaged owners and the ability to appoint your own chairman means have another Teflon manager. Haven’t addressed the defence in years, prone to 2-3 prolonged meltdowns per season (Last season was it clubs longest winless run since the war or something), wasted serious money on donkeys and unable to make signings. Hard to see any sunny uplands from this. Best case: another season bumbling around mid table. Worst case: Bury.
  10. Always option of playing with 10 men over Bennett.
  11. That’s what Tonebola sees everyone else
  12. I know nothing about ice hockey but I went a few times in the late 90s. Quite enjoyed it but just stopped going for some reason. Back then I seem to recall they were at a fairly decent standard (not exactly sure at what level). Also I think they had a Canadian player who was quite good either used to play at a higher level or went on to.
  13. Beating Cardiff or even a West Brom is just the sort of result Rovers pull off to either to dangle the carrot or to keep the status quo intact.
  14. Not a chance. They’re all on easy street just picking up a wage. I’ve never once felt any of them care beyond the most basic level of professional pride. As for any bollockings why would he get irate his job isn’t on the line just another day at the office.
  15. I’m not exactly sure what the relationship was between Mowbray and Waggott was before his time at rovers. But I do wonder how many clubs have had a manager that’s effectively appointed the chairman. It all seems a little too cosy for my liking. Of all the disappointments on the pitch and incompetence from the very top it’s bizarre things like that that grind me down bit by bit.
  16. What might have been. Instead we’ve got Tonebola saying never mind Elliott you’re still my favourite while handing out his wife’s lemon drizzle cake.
  17. Roll up! Roll up! Buy your season ticket at rovers. Come and witness the amazing Bennett a master of all positions. More ponytails, alice bands and beards than goals. The ring master Tonebola and his eenie meenie miney mo approach to team selection and tactics.
  18. Square pegs round holes. Clueless manager.
  19. He was able to ride out 9 defeats in 11 was it last season. He’s bulletproof.
  20. I certainly won’t be swayed into a season ticket with this lot and Tonebola pulling the strings. A truly dull side perfectly in the image of the man himself. I’ll just pick and chose games avoiding the games like sheff wed we price at £48 and out of principe avoiding the games I’m liable to pay waggott tax.
  21. Excluding Tosin as a loan player. Players I think are at an acceptable standard-Nyambe (most of the time), lenihan, travis, dack, Armstrong and Downing (knocking on a bit). Maybe holtby/graham as squad men plus the younger academy lads. Obviously couldn't replace an entire squad in one window (we can’t even get one centre half in 3 windows of trying) but the rest of the squad could go for me. Either way it’s a very fragile squad. With probably no money if lost a few key players I see us as being nearer to relegation than assembling a squad genuinely capable or a promotion challenge
  22. Agreed. Expressed myself poorly there I meant 2 players I’d defo keep but going forward not many miles left in the tank at their age and will need replacing soon.
  23. I’d also add Johnson to that list. Then downing and graham got to be the wrong side of 35. Huge job rebuilding this squad in the summer (mainly due to the neglect in the last 6 transfer windows) if there’s any money. If not might have to play the kids.
