and if either of them score several goals to stop us losing the amount of games as we did at home last season then you will all run across the hallowed turf naked will you ? FFS the season is weeks away and your all moaning. Let the football begin in August and then air your views 5 games into the season. After all if we somehow manage some marvellous results against the likes of arsenal,manure and newcastle you will all seriously have some egg on your face. we all expect massive signings we all expect miracles. The truth is harsh that we cannot compete for the highest paid players anymore, we dont have the money, we dont have the backing of the supporters and we no longer have a sugar daddy. JHC we cant even release a kit before the start of the season. What will be will be. Lets just get on with it and lets see how we perfomr pre season before we pass judgement. in fact just sit back and enjoy the tennis and cricket

paul if you seriously think that Rovers v manurescum will not bring a 29k plus crowd even at tht kick off time then your deluded. Of course we will grant the scum a full ticket allocation, of course we will have people moaning. one way ahead for the moaners is that they should get their raggedy arses down to ewood for the first game which would grant them entitlement to a ticket application for the manure game hence this may stop a bit of the whingeing ! as for Alan, well mate all I can say is this. I contemplated cancelling my sky sports subscription and made a telephone call outlining my disgust at the price etc etc etc. As I have had sky since it first came about they gave me 3 months free subscription before I revert ot the usual monthly payment. It pays sometimes to have a whinge at them and you never know mate you may get lucky ! also Paul, you might consider putting the mrs in her place and showing her that when our Beloved Rovers are being screened they take priority, she should go and do her ironing/washing and other household chores (not the hoovering of course) or bugger off to her friends house only returning when you have had time to calm down following the match

incorrect he has NOT signed as yet. the deal is subject to two things happening. firstly he must gain a work permit secondly and more importantly Crespo must agree to a season long loan to Italy. Other news today from the russki's world of madness is that he has reportedly made a personal invitation to Rooney and his agent to stay with him on his yacht to discuss what it is Rooney would like to sign for chelsea ! he has also agreed to pay any players wages if they go out on a season loan up front and in full and at the moment there is a list of 16 players that the club want out of the club, the problem is that all of them apart from Bogarde and Melchiot are on massive wages, JFH has reportedly been paid twice his annual bonus/salary just to agree to move on. Mutu is refusing to leave on loan as he feels he is still the number 1 striker and came back training a week early only to find the training ground closed ! eh lad its a funny old world !

cant complain really I mean 7 games pre Christmas gives Rovers some extra cash. I know it plays havoc with peoples arrangments but for me I appear to have dropped lucky albeit the trip to Southampton will have to be a mighty early trek unless we set off the evening before, get lashed and crimp in the car !

there will be a downturn in sales we know that on the back of our crap home performances but at the same time our away form was good and could go a long way to making up the missing 5k !

trooper maybe you dont understand or comprehend that Rangers are 59 million plus pounds in the red and simply CANNOT in No way ever ever afford to buy him back ! anyhow you know now so theres no point in harping on

the fact that very few of the audience failed to recognise one of our Heroes just shows the ignorance of some of todays supporters.

was it not 2 yrs with an option for another year after that ? certainly he never got a four year deal due to his age !

the meaning obtaining services by deception springs to mind. of course an adult cannot use a junior ST to gain entry although I would suspect that another Junior could !

just who is Jeff Winter then ?

after my heartache for my beloved England its PAYBACK

cant sing for a bag of peanuts !!

talking of supporters have been watching a pitiful french crowd on tv, I mean they were supporting the curent champions who by the way have just lost 1-0 to greece

if the figure is around 10k then at this point with 8 weeks or so to go then it sounds a decent wnough start. oh by the way france are out

well Chris I never once said it was not a good move nor have a dissed anyones suggestion that ferguson will not make a good captain. look on the thread regarding fergies comeback and YOU will read that yesterday I suggested it was great for our captain in waiting to be back to full fitness. using the manure is simply an example. Liabilities do not provide the effort that Flitty has provided during his time at Rovers. I agree wholeheartedly that a players shelf life comes to its natural end and that a younger player has to make his mark. the point I was making is that he had to be respected not slated for 8 yrs of graft. oh by the way almost forgot FRANCE ARE OUT !!

froggies out

and now the frogggies have bitten the dust makes Englands departure seem nothing compared to the "champions"

tooting the only reason I am opting for the Portuguese is NOT because they beat us, its simpler than that. I hate the French I hate the Dutch (not people just the fact that they have a cheat in vannistlediver) The czechs are lovely people and have a great team but on this occasion I dont fancy them. the danes and the swedes, well they too are great people especially liked by italians, but not good enough to win for me this time. I have never once said anything about "that" goal as I am still seriously gutted !

now then eddie that word INCONSISTENCY it can be levelled at the squad as a whole apart from the odd player

Yes our gary has been a liability over recent years hasn't he ? I mean a player of such ilk scores winners against the then champions to win the game, he fights for every ball, he may not be classy but he works damned hard and puts his head in where the boots are. yes our Gary is a liability pure @#/? comments again 8yrs at the club no less, so he has loyalty, let the fans give him a vote of thanks rather than disrespect him.

supporting your club is on an individual basis. Supporting England is a national thing, there are over 56 million in the UK of which the overall majority are English. in any case its great to see the women, kids and the family bursting with pride in their English attire. Last nite my 11yr daughter had a full England kit on, face painted and wrapped in a huge St George flag, it just fills you with patriotic pride

well you Portuguese supporters you surely deserved that victory now my patriotic spectacles are off and my head is totally alcohol free I have had time to reflect on last nites topsy turvey action. Cant blame the ref although he was wrong. Portugal played the much better football. England looked terribly tired after they scored after 3 minutes ! The English fans were great and after all the hype about hooliganism in the country it just showed that last night we do have GREAT supporters although the country has its fair share of knobheads. Cant blame any of the players who missed a penalty as it takes real ###### to get up there and have a go. Cant have a go at any of the Portuguese players even though cloonaldo fall over just like vannistlediver of manure - his TEAMMATE no less. Filling my face with my slcie of humble pie didnt taste too good with 9 pints off 4x ! FINALLY SGE needs to take a long hard look at himself. If he seriously thinks that Phillipa Neville is an England player then we must get rid now. Playing him in an England game in a major trophy just means one thing - ELIMINATION. Rant over Hope the Portuguese now go onto win the competition. You deserve it.

thanks Bryan just making sure some of the english doubters (ie out by the first round whilst the massive footballing countries prevail !) are absolutely in no doubt as to where their respective suggestions in respect of germany,italy and spain are in this competition OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT OUT and OUT OUT OUT

chelskis bid for Gerrard will be made official the morning after Englands departure from the euro championships the tabloid speculation around a swap with duff/parker + cash is way off the mark. for those who used to use the same pub as "our" duffer, he is back up next week presenting medals to 2 young lads who have just made it into the Irish youth squads from the Leyland and Chorley area ! i am sure he will be having a few back at home then !!

germany ? italy and spain ? where are you ? oh yes just a reminder they are all OUT so much for Quality Teams
