Chaddy, your boys took a hell of a beating

Much to say, but the corker from SW was his comment that incredibly we still have a chance of promotion.......

Goodnight

Tactically brilliant from Glenn and co. I tip my hat to you.

No, just one.

Or Dalglish.

SGE?

Erm, we didn't sign anyone, we finished six, got relegated......

Tears rolling down my face reading these memories. Here's mine. This was a time before Sunday pub opening hours being extended, so I watched it in my trade union bar, bang in the centre of Manchester. The bar was packed with United fans, me and a few of my City-supporting mates (the irony). The barman, City fan, claimed he couldn't the United game on, do made the 100-odd United fans watch Rovers. I was legging it to the loo every five minutes once the game started, and during one of my trips Shearer scored!!!!! By halftime I couldn't stand the tension and left the bar, radio to my ear to be on my own. I paced around the city centre until Alan Green proclaimed us champions. Cue celebrations with my mates as the United fans traipsed out into the Peter St sunlight. The night after me and my girlfriend (now wife) sat in the Darwen End with a middle aged women shouting "Killer" throughout. Wonderful. I think favourite memory is all the terraced houses on Bolton Road having scarves, improvised posters and newspaper headlines displayed on their front windows. For once our small town was king. And then we messed up.

That, with JE still at the helm I think we'd still be in the top six.

I think I agree with much of this. Frankly I have no idea the extent to which VI is at fault, because under JE both last season and much of this, we have been very poor. That JE could win as many as we did is remarkable, but ten games without a win last season, arguably with a better team shouldn't be forgetton.

1-1

VI may turn out to be a mistake, but look at JE's record last season (and some of this TBH).

treet Noise @KidderStNoise · 2m Ultimately, that 6 win run with an own goal at hull, penalty vs Leeds, offside goal at Boro’ and an own goal at Wednesday has kept us up

Just four points off the play-off places and as poor as the performances have been three mistakes have cost us four points.

Without our six win run, things would be looking very different for us right now.

I can't find the link to watch on Rovers TV. Anyone help?

Or Plymouth away, Bristol last season away, etc, etc.

That's where the honour comes in. Sometimes you have to do the right thing, rather than you thing you want to do.

I have to say that I haver zero respect for JE, and not least his comments after the game. We all work in tricky jobs from time-to-time and he left us in the lurch and abandoned the players who seem to really like him, and the fans when we were in a great position to get into the play offs. He was no great shakes last season, let's be honest, and nearly got us relegated. Stick if out to the end of the season and move on then would be the honourable thing to do.

I think it's been done for a while. The last few weeks of JE were just as bad.

No

In the first season.
