  1. The London clock would strike before him...and it's undergoing repair at the moment
  2. The 7,000 faithful wondering why they didn't stay at home and watch TV. This is all so predictable
  3. This is agony. Mowbray's Misfits 0 Hull Reserves 0 And everyone was very pleased
  4. It's fascinating watching 2 poor teams fight out a dull, lifeless draw on a cold, windy night.
  5. Wot, no goals yet ? Which players in Hull's reserve team is Tony frightened of ?
  6. .....only one result then.
  7. Johnny Price 5ft 1in ? Twice the player of Gallagher or Brereton.
  8. Could we see a sub 10,000 gate against Hull? Cold wind, poor football, team going nowhere. It's possible
  9. 1. Playoffs ain't going to happen. Forget it 2. That's virtually assured a Hull 2-1 win
  10. Yep, good post, sums it up nicely.
  11. Mowbray doesn't know what to do all the time.
  12. An indictment of Mowbray, assuming he sanctioned the transfers. Besides all his other deficiencies, their failure alone would have seen most managers sacked
  13. End of the day it was another defeat, another season now written off, no signs of significant progress that I can see, a manager who has run his course and needs replacing, the club in dire straits financially and the team farther away from the PL as ever.
  14. Who cares about Leeds when our own season is dead in the water? Another season goes by and we’re farther away from a return to the PL as ever. Please don’t anyway keep bleating we can still make the playoffs because it’s not going to happen. For me, I’m running out of time before the ref upstairs blows the final whistle. It’s so disappointing I won’t see us back where we belong Mowbray out Warnock in
  15. Entirely predictable result - although I said 2-1 Fulham. Fulham too good for us, and I cannot see why anyone thought we would win this match. Another wasted season wallowing in mid table but Tony's pension pot is much fatter. Will be going to Charlton next week for a good day out but there's no way we;ll beat them
  16. Sad to hear about Brian Pilkington. Another of these very good Burnley players who always seemed to be just that bit better than us back in the 1960s. Dementia is a vile disease.
  17. Might be wrong but IIRC Duggie did try to get a transfer from Rovers at one stage but was flatly turned down by the board.
  18. Fulham will be far too good for us. More quality in their side and a better manager. 2-1 defeat
  19. This is so sad. I feel very sorry for Tony and his family. Alzheimer's is a terrible disease, dementia takes away everything, it's one of the worst things that can happen to older people. All the best Tony, good player and true Rover
  20. Which doesn't mean he will play, plus the fact he likes players to sit on the bench and earn their place before playing them
  21. Why can't it be done? Because we're not good enough, plain as the nose on your face. The league table doesn't lie.
  22. Villa have a very good manager and one or two exceptional players. We have an average manager and some good players, with some key ones injured. Citing Villa as an example of something we can emulate as Chaddy has done is pure fantasy
  23. I don't see how Preston's history is relevant to Rovers in the Venky's era. We're different to PNE. We were an established PL club with a top management and infrastructure on a different level to theirs. Then we threw it away. The point is, the longer we remain out of the PL the harder it will be to get back. Since we were relegated in 2012 we haven't been in the playoffs once. I don't see any sign of progress whatsoever - on any level since we went down. There is a magic wand - it is identifying a very good manager and keeping him. Burnley have done it, and many others. I grates to see the likes of Bournemouth, Brighton and Watford - third division and fourth clubs to my mind - in the PL when we are languishing. I'd like your thoughts on why you think "we are making progress" - because I don't see any
  24. Really Parson? Now 8 or 9 years since we were relegated and I've not seen a step in the right direction since then, Let's call a mid-table finish what it is - treading water and leaving us farther from the Premier League than ever.
