  1. Think our performance, the game, the low crowd and lack of atmosphere are the personification of a club dying on its feet.
  2. Absolutely. As exemplified by our captain trudging off
  3. A borefest at 'Deadwood'. Alebiosu the only bright spark. Can't see Swansea being so poor in 2nd half. We really should be looking to kill the game but simply not looking to press home. Gudjohnsen looks another donkey - ineffective with no presence.
  4. A difficult one to call. Six new signings in the 11 (including 3 of the back 4) with a further 3 on the bench. That is a big turnover. Heart says Rovers will have 2 or 3 'moments' and will be enough to win the game Head says we lose an early goal and unravel. Whatever happens, hope Gestede and Pasha get some very strong verbals
  5. A huge own goal! Think it shows how little nous and foresight Gestede and Pasha have.
  6. I think the behaviour of Rovers through Pasha and Gestede is totally indefensible. How any supporter can even remotely try to defend Rovers, Pasha and Gestede is, IMO, staggeringly beyond the pale. IMO, as a club, we are now morally bankrupt. I think Uncle Jack's legacy is in tatters.
  7. Awful, awful, awful. No one can be surprised given our transfer window dealings - in my view, simply disastrous. IMO, the 'mood music' around the club stinks. Spoke with a number of longstanding Roverites following yesterday's game and I would say levels of apathy and disdain are at an all time high. IMO, our club is dying and unless the likes of @glen9mullanand co can quickly pull a rabbit or two out of the hat then we are finished.
  8. It's utterly appalling. IMO, our club is run by complete imbeciles. We as fans have a choice. Be bold and brave and ban Rovers and Ewood Park from your lives until we have new owners and executive management.
  9. Let's get this straight - there were at least 15 to 20 minutes to go ie 10 minutes normal time plus 5 to 10 minutes added time. That in my eyes is not an 'abandonment so late'. Football is a funny old game. How many times have we seen teams come back (even with 10 men) to either draw a game or win a game in the closing stages after being largely dominated for huge parts of the game. Ipswich were just 1 goal down - they were not dead and buried. However unpalatable to Rovers and fans, IMO, the correct and the only logical decision has been made. An appeal is 99% certain to fail and I think Rovers would better spend their time exploring options for the playing surface and its drains to ensure this never happens again.
  10. I would be staggeringly surprised if the EFL made any other decision other than a full replay. The facts are Rovers were just 1 goal in front with 10 minutes of normal time plus added on time to go (say a minimum of 5 extra minutes) meaning there were at least 15 minutes of the game left. Against Brum, we were 1 up and Brum equalised in the last minute of normal time and then went on to win in added time. There is the Ipswich case - the game was far from dead and buried. We don't deserve any favours. Our pitch has been an issue for years and we have done virtually feck all to remedy the situation. Even though the ground is next to a river, as are many other sporting stadia, modern technology and solutions provide numerous options to overcome the issue. Sadly, IMO, crass management has shot us in the foot again. Time for both Rovers and some fans to stop bellyaching. McKenna was acting in the best interests of Ipswich as I am sure Ismael would have done if the positions had been reversed.
  11. Read carefully! I made it clear it's not embarrassing from me. You are embarrassing yourself by throwing your toys out the pram. It's professional sport where gamesmanship thrives. Boot on the other foot and you would have been lauding Ismael and saying referee was right as pitch too dangerous. Decisions go for and against you over the season - you just have to take the rough with the smooth and not bellyache.
  12. Think ding dong Bell netted that game. If memory's correct, it was early Jan with only a few thousand on the ground.
  13. Not embarrassing but just plain reality. If gamesmanship upsets you so much then stick to games and puzzles for pacifists.
  14. So McKena engaged in some gamesmanship. So what? Boot on the other foot and Ismael did the same then we would all be lauding him and having a laugh at our opponents' expense. It's painful but it's a feckin professional sport not a Girl Guides' Jamboree. Think all the blame lies with our owners and executive management who, IMO, continue to sell the club short with their crass management
  15. Incredibly unlucky. Think our pitch and drainage is totally shite and has been so for years. Our owners, Waggott and Pasha no doubt knew this but seem to have done near to feck all to address the problem. For perspective, every match in English Football League that started has been completed other than Rovers. Rochdale only game postponed. Even Chorley played and completed. My lawns aren't great with persistent heavy deluges but even they haven't got a puddle on! 3 points almost in the bag and there's almost an inevitability that we will get beat when the game is rescheduled. Those 3 lost points could be incredibly costly one way or another at the end of the season. Yet another example, IMO, of our owners and executive management's myopia and incompetence.
