[Archived] Rovers Playing In Sydney!

[Ricky]

Commentators just noted that there is nobody within 10-15 metres from Roberts up front, there's no surprise!

[Derbyshire Blue]

much better over the last 20 minutes

[mr bishi]

Meh, time for bed

[brfcshabba]

2-0 We have no movement at all.

[roversfan99]

The pitch seems dreadful, so much slipping

[hollowsr]

What were Givet and Salgado doing?

Just when we were looking ok as well

[Florida Rover]

down 0-2 just before half.Our lads are slipping all over the pitch.The whole sequence started with MGP slipping on the attacking 1/3 a turnover and break upfield and Dunny slipped/slid? in box defending and then Salgado? slipped in defending the cross and the Ranger player banged it in with robbo helpless.

It is a long standing Rovers tradition of being the better team and losing to Scottish opposition- got two more of them to come in this pre-season as well.

We are toothless up front though.

I beg to differ. We are not the better team. They have opened us up time and again. I have yet to see a final ball find its man from Rovers. Diouff is the best player in my opinion but his crosses have been awful.

[Derbyshire Blue]

MGP on the wing is rubbish... but in central midfield he's even worse, just hasn't got what it takes.... depressingly bad

[Majiball]

Here's hoping that Sam's half time chin wag boots the lads into action.

[philipl]

Bosnich has pretty thoroughly dismissed Allardyce as a Manager.

[Dan]

This Fox channel are having a real Rangers love in. Why are they interviewing that nob McCoist during the match?!

[roversfan99]

I dont know but i noticed Samba beating up Kalinic and Olsson in the background

Allardyce once rejected signing Bosnich after his drugs exposure at Chelsea, maybe he's bitter

[brfcshabba]

Dunny Penalty

[Florida Rover]

Hoilett wins a penalty in the 63rd minute

Dunn takes GOAL 1-2

[philipl]

Dunn's lack of fitness is very worrying.

[Florida Rover]

EHD with a nice cross to Jase and his header is not even on frame.To his credit though Big Jason has done a great job winning knockdown headers for us all game long.He is just not a goalscorer

[philipl]

That was a corner not given0 the defender's head blocked it.

[brfcshabba]

Dunn's lack of fitness is very worrying.

Hopefully saving it for season. (We can only hope)

All creativity is coming from Diouf.

[bubblerrovers]

Look at the players we have on display is anyone surprised ?

[brfcshabba]

gah, Vince Grella is stil absolute sh*te

[Ricky]

Did Big Sam run over Bozzy's cat?

He's basically spent the last 90 minutes stating how poor we are and how great Grella is. Apparantly Grella has a great passing range on both feet, since them saying that he's made two of the worst passes I've ever seen!!

[brfcshabba]

Definite improvement on the garbage served up at Preston but I suppose it couldn't have got much worse
