So he likes Rovers, and wants to get a job, as a result of this, the club will get rid of Souness and put him in place? I wouldn't mind being a manager, and I really like the look of Rovers, think they'll free something up for me?

That makes no sense to me. I know he'll need time to adapt, but he has plenty of games under his belt and should be match fit and ready, if it takes him a dozen games I really would be surprised and slightly worried. Of course, if he does come good within even a couple of years, given his age, I would be fine with it.

People who are saying that Souness doesn't give youth a chance are just spouting rubbish. Gallagher may be out of favour now, but he was brought through by Souness, same with McEvely, Dunn, Douglas and Danns. It's crucial that youth players are brought in at the right time, not too soon so that they don't have their confidence smashed, and not too late so that you can get them in the team for as long as possible. So far I think Souness hasn't really lost marks concerning younger players, his selection policy at the moment is odd, but not because he isn't adding young players to it.

That joke is so overused

I guess the teams they have played in the last 42 games have all been "below par" as well.

rover6...your signatures always make me smile haha. If it's not one campaign it's another.

Well...we've just brought in Pedersen and Ferguson and Thompson will come back from suspension and injury.

This Arsenal team is good...their players can score even when they don't play

Reyes scores....more points for me!

How depressing life can be...haha

Same for me

Well...it really was going to happen. Only good news really is that it should give me more points in the fantasy league.

Never had problems before.

Don't you mean everyone must have fainted in order for him to have run past someone?

I wish that, that was an option for some of us!

According to Radio 5 live we've gone closest so far, with a good save from a Dickov shot. Beat me to it nelly

Great News...that really makes me a bit happier about the situation at the club. It comes at a good time as I don't think I'll be that happy after the game tonight! A young player who may well excite the fans on the pitch, it's exactly what we needed. Also excellent that he's match fit and can be ready to go. Also, the great thing about already having De Pedro is that there is no way Pedersen could play the rest of our remaining games considering the number he must have already played in the Norwegian league without a break, so De Pedro is now an excellent back-up.

But I think as being part of Europe, even as a non-member of the EU, there should be no need for a work permit. At least this is what I would think.

haha...what can I say? It's a gift

I don't think Norwegians need work permits? It would surprise me if they do, but I could be wrong.

Well from now on I'll expect you to just come on and make several rather short and pointless posts

Funny how those changes were made by Souness isn't it? We started the game well, then went off the boil, Souness makes changes and they work, to me, though the line-up wasn't the one I would have picked, it seems to me like he's done nothing wrong.

WTF? You haven't even been on the board long enough to know how I see most things. I'm not happy that we lost, I only had it on the radio, but I would have been happy with a draw and to lose as a result of a poor decision by the ref then yes it's not all "doom and gloom". Things aren't looking very good for us at this moment, and probably won't be looking good in a couple weeks time, but no, I wouldn't be surprised if we come away with a few points from the next few games. How about you develop your own opinions though, rather than coming up with great variations to referees names and pointless predictions as to what others are about to say.

I hope we don't end up paying too much for him simply because we can't find anyone else. He sounds an exciting talent, and for the right price, it would be great to have a new type of player in the team.

Well, changes at half time and hopefully we'll get out there and score a couple goals.
