  1. Are Boro the home team ? They're so dominant it's embarrassing
  2. Boro are walking through our midfield as though it doesn't exist. Another big let-off !!!
  3. Neither do I. Just bog standard nothingness
  4. Warnock wouldn't have someone like Dolan in his team....far too small and weak. 0-0 half time. I'd settle for that after 90. Boro better in every respect
  5. Hangdog tony in the dugout...... what an inspiration
  6. What did you expect? We gave the job to Owen Coyle instead
  7. Gallagher's a our tallest player but he'd be only average height in the Boro team. Last gasp defending all the time... they go though our midfield like it's not there
  8. chasing I'd settle for functional top 6
  9. Boro so strong and direct... everything we're not
  10. Men against boys this .... we look like a div II team
  11. Boro look like a Warnock side....... all big and strong and minimum height of 6ft 4in !
  12. You don't mess around with hamstrings - playing on when you feel a twinge is madness and turns a 2-week layoff into 6 weeks or in may cases alot longer. He should have come off immediately or Mowbray ordered him off
  13. Now then, next match brings bonny Boro to Ewood, managed by the Neil Warnock who predictably has instantly turned the club around from last season's relegation candidates to one now sitting in the top 6. "Colin" is not everyone's cup of tea but he's one of my favourite managers, a tough nut who takes no nonsense and produces pragmatic, tough teams that are hard to beat and get results. His record of promotions is second to very few, if any. I stand to be corrected but I think Colin was actually pencilled in for the Rovers job when the club changed its mind at the mind at the 11th hour and, unbelievably, gave the job to Owen Coyle. He was also out of work for a brief period last year before Boro grabbed him to sort out their own mess. So that's 2 chances to we've had to appoint him, and I've no doubt we'd be back in the Premier League now had we done so the first time. Anyway, in the dugout it's Tony v Colin on Tuesday night and the contrast between the approaches of the 2 managers could not be more different - one an indecisive but apparent nice guy and the other who fashions a team in his own hard image. What the Rovers team will be is anyone's guess and I doubt Tony will decide until an hour before kick off. But I doubt it will make much difference. On current form I can't see anything other than another defeat. Rovers 0 Boro 1
  14. Barry John packed up at 26, not even at his peak, which is incredible really. He wouldn’t do it these days with the money around now. I think he became a bit of a sad case in later life. Spoke to Gerald Davies a few times, nice chap, great player but he couldn’t write. His copy was terrible
  15. The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result...... Albert Einstein Describes watching Rovers under Mowbray I really wish he would retire
  16. This 100 times over
  17. I wish someone would lock him down .....permanently
  18. Tony's supporters don't even have the get-out of a good performance in the last 2 games. We've been poor as well as losing
  19. Another day, another defeat, another week of Tony still failing in his job, yet another wasted season Why do we bother?
  20. Comes from running through bogs. The team looks disjointed and lacking quality all over the pitch. For a supposed "finisher", Armstrong misses 4 times as many as he scores. Bring back Simon Garner
  21. Go away Tony. You don't know what you're doing
  22. Unless there is a catastrophic downturn in results, I don't think Mowbray will ever be sacked at Rovers. I think Tony's a bit like Wenger ..... he's addicted to the drug of football and loves being a manager. He won't walk unless he has to
  23. I doubt Reading are paying their manager very much. In the end isn't it all down to luck? Sometimes you hit the jackpot
