[Archived] "Rovers Review" for the Newcastle game.

[m1st]

Was I the only person at yesterday's game to be unhappy about the inclusion in yesterday's programme of Vince Grella's selection of dining guests? For most of the last week in all the media, there have been reports of attmpts being made in Italy to indict Silvio Berlusconi on charges of paying for the services of a prostitute aged less than 18 years.

Yet, in the "Come dine with ..." feature in Saturday's programme, we read that Vince Grella would be happy to have Signor Berlusconi "who seems like quite a character" as a dinner guest with the Grella family.

Was it really impossible for the programme editor not to have withdrawn this item [for some weeks, at least] and replace it with one featuring another player selecting less immediately controversial guests?

We've had this situation before, a few years ago, when somebody wanted Adolf Hitler as a guest.

Wasn't impressed with Vince's article anyway. The programme has gone downhill this season in my opinion.

So the players are only allowed to select guest that we approve of? That defeats the point of the item. I remeber the Adolf Hitler one but can't remember the player but didn't he want to ask him deep questions about why he did what he did etc. In then end who would you ask to a dinner party. There may be some interesting guest at B.R.F.C.S members judging by the posts of some on here.

Mr Berlusconi would be a welcome guest at most dinner parties..... along with his entourage of beautiful women.

Thousands of Italian women marched in protest at the sexual antics of their PM this weekend. Our esteeemed leader meanwhile was defending his Big Society plan. I cannot help but think Italian politics are somewhat more colourful.

I honestly wonder why people care that much about who he or anyone else wants to invite for an imaginary dinner.

Just don't invite them for your imaginary dinner

Chriest m1! Who gives a flying feck!

I was more annoyed with the tiny amount of space dedicated to John Williams, summed up the new order very well.

Get a grip of yourself lad

I'm all for opinions but this topic is beyond ridiculous.

In future, maybe the programme editor should provide each player with a list of 'suitable' dinner guests that he is allowed to choose from when conducting such a feature.

Sure, i'd even go as far as to agree that the topic is ridiculous, but to say that it shouldn't be a topic and just making a whining post is a waste. As you can see people have have opinions and thoughts on this, and now on the board more than ever we shouldn't be discouraging any topics Rovers related. A fresh topic never hurt anyone.
