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.

There we go... He may not be a left WINGER, but he may well be able to do a job on the left, it doesn't sound like he's doing too bad of a job. As long as Gray continues to go through on the overlap it could work quite well.

Sometimes life just doesn't seem fair. The thing that annoys me the most actually is that this is going to be fuel to the anti-souness bunch, even though by the sounds of it we've been the better team. C'mon Rovers, just keep it up and I think we could still win this game, plenty of time left.

Well said

I fight this battle the entire way, USA steps in at the last minute and gets all the credit! ...typical american b******s

thenodrog, i wasn't at all happy with the first half performance and final result of the game on saturday, having said that, unlike some on this mb, I'm able to realise that it is just one game. I'm just saying, people may not like our last performance, and if we continue to play that way I'll be saying some of the things they are, but for now, only one game into the season, it's much too early to judge things, and much too early to be getting so negative. If you look at the results from the weekend, very few teams would be happy with the result, if everyone thought like some of those who post on this board, there would only be about 4 teams with managers at this point.

I'm not saying everything is rosy, but what I do realise is that we have a few new players, it's a new season, and we've only played one game. If in 10-15 games time I am still seeing performances like I did in the first half last saturday than I will not deny that something has to be done. However, one game into the season, and I'll just get behind the team. And if Souness guides this team to success this year, will all of those who have given him such a hard time admit that they were wrong? Maybe he'll make some of the changes you want, but half of you aren't even giving the man a chance this season. My comment regarding looking to trip souness up was in response to you thinking you'd caught him with your comment about the winger. Unless I've missed something, I always thought Souness believed that you couldn't use TWO wingers, not that you couldn't have one. You yourself admit that being negative doesn't help, well why don't you just wait then until we really have something to be negative about, not simply a poor performance in one half. Have you ever thought about it, a poor performance in ONE HALF, and you are on the team's back. It's a new season, give it time.

Can all of you looking to just trip Souness up just shut up. Its really getting boring.

I think it had some sort of number in it...

We weren't able to cope with West Brom? The extended highlights I saw were obviously biased, as I came out of it thinking we were the better team, not particularly creative, but still the dominant force. Is anyone realising that we DREW???? Alright we didn't win, but come on, how do you ladies survive in the world of football supporters?

rovers going nowhere with supporters like you
