Lee Bowyer very much looking offside- BBC

He was defo offside

[Andy]

But if it's a sideways pass, he can't be offside - you can only be offside if the ball is played forwards.

A lot of people seemingly blaming referee decisions for us being 0-1 down, but we've been pretty awful in fairness.

Let's hope the senior players can work their magic again at HT...

So far 0 shots on goal...where are the goals going to come from this afternoon

Yet we're being told we're playing attractive football. We struggle really badly to test any keepers - let alone hit the back of the net.

So f***** depressed. We CANNOT lose this.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Bad refereeing decisions happen all the time it's part of the game. Rovers could have stopped the goal by stopping them walking through our midfield, it was shocking play by Rovers.

Rovers have to somehow get back into this, but I can't see where the goals will come from.

[cn_barlow]

We are getting shafted all over by ###### poor decisions week in week out.

Unfortunately everything points to us going down...

[Gogger]

Well its not like the referees are scared of making decisions against us. I bet Mr. Positive Kean invites them for vine and a friendly chat after each game they give away our points.

[Ferrit]

Oh dear.

[Nelsta]

it should'nt have got to the offside, there was a foul by ferguson.

[sam_rovers]

He was defo offside

sky saying he got the benefit of the doubt.. this is ridiculously frustrating

33 Rovers feel that pass from Jerome was a forward one and that Foy should've given offside, it's a difficult one to call. I think City have got the benefit of the doubt from the lineo there.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Dunny done anything apart from foul players? Where's Pedersen?

[BangkokRover]

But if it's a sideways pass, he can't be offside - you can only be offside if the ball is played forwards.

From what TV was showing it was not sideways it went forward.

But as has been said was shocking defending by Rovers for letting them run at us.

[Heinz]

pfffffffffffft saved by the post

[mr bishi]

Quality free kick

[RibbleValleyRover]

Could be 2-0 down they just hit the post.

[BangkokRover]

Dam nearly 0-2 Brum from a freekick

[yellowsubmarine]

pedersen is @#/?!!!!!

[chris]

That was lucky they hit the post omg

Still in it to win it I think

[Nelsta]

cleared off the line....come on rovers.

[DE.]

Kean's just on a learning curve, we'll be reet.

[Andy]

Should have been 0-2, though we've just had one cleared off the line also.

[Guest roverspogges]

The only comfort I will feel when we go down is that ###### disgusting mob called Venkys have disgraced themselves so publicly. I don't care anymore.....

[Ferrit]

Kean's just on a learning curve, we'll be reet.

Hahaha

[G Somerset Rover]

Kean's just on a learning curve, we'll be reet.

I love Kean. The best thing about it all is we could get stuffed 4-0 today and Venky's wouldn't do bugger all about it.

Still..it'll only be 9 games without a win. We're improving all the time.

[imy9]

We are 1-0 down it's half time, currently our position is no different from 2.59 in that there is a 2 point cushion and our goal difference us better, keep the faith, big 45 minutes coming up.

Yeah, it's better football.
