I barely even class him as a footballer, never mind a right back!

Would definitely be happy with Chris Martin tbh.

You’re better than that!

This comes up now and again about Andrews giving his best. I think people are re writing history and I say this every time. I can legitimately remember him ducking out of at least one challenge that lead to a goal (Chelsea at home). If we were in the PL now, Corry Evans would probably look the same. He was playing a long way above his ability, that is true and it isn’t his fault he was picked, he really wasn’t the grafter that people keep suggesting. He was absolutely shite.

Has he ever looked happy?

Would have helped if you’d read the article, for some context instead. In fact just the headline would have been beneficial, but here you go- ‘Wigan's former owner Kay asked about administration before his takeover’. Why on earth would that not lead to the EFL smelling a rat?!

https://www.theguardian.com/football/2020/aug/16/wigans-former-owner-kay-asked-about-administration-before-his-takeover?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other The EFL have some serious questions to answer. Will they have to? Probs not.

There’s a way around that....

In fairness, the same people that complain about FFP, usually conveniently overlook how much we spent on our strikers that don’t score £12 Million worth of goals.

Had my first round this week. Went round Stonyhurst with my old man. My chipping is not something I need to work on, but my driving and putting definitely is! My old man was hyped and gave me a shoulder tap after I chipped onto the green from miles away on the last hole then sank the resulting putt. We don’t need to talk about how many shots it took to reach that position though!! Been at the driving range a couple of times since and had more joy with the drives. Had much more luck with the hybrid, but practice makes perfect as they say! I’m obviously not expecting perfection, but certainly steady improvement!

Silly season is upon us!

Barcelona though, what a shambles they are at the moment. Was reading before about a load of their directors resigning too. They’ve squandered loads of money on big money signings that haven’t delivered/been badly managed or injured a lot. The obvious alarm bell for me was when they sold a young lad in Arthur to Juventus in a swap deal for Pjanic who’s 30 years old! There’s too much focus and reliance on Messi and while he’s obviously outstanding, he needs more support. Couldn’t help but have a bit of a snigger at Coutinho coming off the bench and bagging two for Bayern against his parent club....

The transfer thread always brings out the worst in people, that’s just how it always seems to be on here. Reporting posts notifies all the mods directly, so it’s a good system. It beats replying to someone being a whopper, which then takes the thread off topic and ends up being a full on row about what one person has said, instead of the subject matter before we know it. This is frustrating for everyone and we want to reduce the frustration everyone experiences. It shouldn’t annoy anyone to come on here, it should be something we all enjoy. With the amount of time I spend on here personally, you’d think it was my favourite hobby! Ultimately, the take away from this should be- if something needs to be reported, report it and just keep scrolling....

Think Chapman might just be you pal ?

You’re right, but I’ve got a crazy notion that in the English second division, defenders should be defenders, first and foremost ....

Just because it’s the way Mowbray wants to play that way, doesn’t mean it’s the right way. Wouldn’t you rather have a defender whose primary ability was defending and not passing? I think the most frustrating thing about this pursuit is that Mowbray used to be a centre half himself!

Did you miss the part where he spent £12 Million on Brereton and Gallagher? Hardly no money in the second division, is it? That’s the reason we ma the lacking now!

Still legitimately have no idea why anyone listens to Nixon or even hangs on his every word. The guy is clueless and well out of the loop when it comes to Rovers nowadays and has been for a while in all honesty!

I definitely think they would, to be fair. Nobody at the top end of the table, but at the middle-bottom end of the table, he’d have some suitors I think.

‘In due course’ according to the EFL. No concrete date for now.

Bargain basement goal returns, top dollar prices. Excellent negotiating tactics.....

@Sparks Rover & @chaddyrovers Any chance you could leave each other alone for a bit and let other people have a turn posting?

Then, people will have to do the unthinkable- put their big boy pants on and just keep scrolling....

Haha, I had a look at that wiki entry earlier this week. Apparently, Victor Valdes was full of praise for our Alan and talked the man out of retirement when he was at United! Probably a better coach than he ever was a player....

Afternoon everyone. Just had to tidy up a few petty squabbles in this thread. Can we tone it down and be a bit more civil please? If anyone wants to know how to ignore any posters that clearly get their back up, slide into my DMs and I’ll talk you through the process. Failing that, it’s a cracking day and whilst I never want to dissuade people from posting on here, get out in the sun, have a walk, visit a beer garden, or pick your mate up from the airport later like I have to....
