[Archived] A Brighter Future?

[Stuart]

In fairness I don't think the whole hat is in shot.

[Exiled in Toronto]

Lazy journalist, a column written entirely from reading the press. She gets paid for doing this?

A full para on what would have happened had we got relegated. a) we didn't and exactly the same issues apply to ANY club relegated.

I'm all for people digging up new facts and shedding new light on our owners, but this is just tat.

There is no way that the top of that hat can in any way make up for itself.

She needs to tie some corks around it, pay a quick visit to Mr. Spoon, and then ###### off into the outback and read some stories to the kangaroos which, hopefully, will kick her in the face.

Hahaha classic!

I was thinking more about the sides of the hat. I'd wager that there are already two well strung corks next to either ear. Not only to help combat bluebottle attempting to lay eggs in he lobes, but also double up as ear-rings. Much like those "Kiss-me-quick" hats with the blonde wigs attached.

However, now you come to mention the top, it probably has a flashing orange light to warn pedestrians that the wearer is likely to be pulling out from behind parked cars as it collects discarded bluebottle carcasses from the roadside. Either that or there's a signed photo of Leo Sayer tucked neatly into the grosgrain ribbon.

Lucky for Phil that her fedora is so damn remarkable because that is yet another awful grimace that only a mother could love. (Phil's not Annie's).

Genuine concerns or just another Rovers hater?

Forget the diversionary tactics of taking the p1ss out of a hat cos she makes some reasonable points. Nothing much new but valid all the same. The Venkys are babes in the woods as far as Prem football is concerned, our manager has been the victim of promotion to incompetence and the guys pulling all the strings and effectively making every decision these days and spending any monies avaialble are a couple of mercenary agents who ultimately and effectively can only have a conflict of interests.

Come on gord, I have had more than my fair share of concerns, but that 'article' is the biggest load of @#/? I have read in my life.

I hope for Nicko's sake that it is just 'web content' and doesn't get in the actual paper. No wonder the Mirror's circulation numbers have fallen off a cliff.

I can understand peoples concerns but to support an article that has been written to simply belittle and mock everything to do with BRFC is a very poor show.

Some posters need to take a look in the mirror. If you are using that article as "evidence", I suggest your argument is becoming pretty weak.

Well played.

Venky's deserve criticism, but it would appear some fans would champion anything which slags them (and our club) off.

Please, Kangaroos are much more discerning creatures. It's the emus you have to watch out for.

Mirror article seemed fair comment to me. I don't like criticism of Rovers but there is nothing in that piece that is not untrue and has not been said on here by fans worried about Rovers' future.

Is that really what you meant to say? Nothing that is not untrue means that everything is true doesn't it?

Bing! Goldfish for the lady. It's a double negative

Not long after we moved in I returned from the shops to find that there was a kangaroo in the front garden. By the time I had got out of the car it had bounced off down the road. It wasn't at all frightening and looked like a giant mouse. Not unlike Ms Eaves come to think of it.

Not often I agree with you. But this time I do

A babbling lunatic can make some good points within any foaming diatribe, does that mean we ignore all the slathering innuendos?

I don't know the woman, I think it is one, nor do I care to. I haven't a clue why she has got her panties in a twist over Venkeys standing up to Manchester Utd but, wouldn't the mancs not have paid more if they had no leg to stand on? Would we all have preferred the to roll on their belly's and say "Thank you masters, may we have another?" Could it be that showing their metal, and not becoming an easy lay (pardon the pun,) Venkeys have shown that our other players will not go quietly and humbly to the next big club that casts their jaundiced view in their direction? Could this not be positive in some way?

The writer bringing up Kean again is old news and trite. I didn't want him, still think he wont cope, but I am ready to let it ride. The club is far, far, more important to me than the current manager and the honor of the club is worth more to me than agreeing with some hack that isn't fit to hand Abbey some bog roll next time he hops on the pot.

I feel the pro Vekeys group and anti Venkeys group have here a perfect battleground to argue about in that article. Niave chicken farmers, or people who stand up for their investments?

Who's right? Probably no one, but what we do not need is further polarizing of ourselves into groups over an article that you theno would normally hold in contempt.

Also, the hat is terrible, no disagreeing with that.

I googled Annie and found reference to her being a Man Utd fan.

Enough said.

Here's a link to some of her other articles:

I personally don't like tittle tattle.

Each to their own.

C'mon Reb.... To some any criticism of BRFC is met with the clucking fury of a mother hen protecting her brood no matter how valid the criticism. Remember the furore over Adrian Goldberg 'outing' that flakey Ali Syed? Much humble pie eaten since I'd wager.

I think Goldberg would be very upset that you have compared him to Annie Eaves.

You supported a critical article written by an idiot. That makes you an idiot. The fact you can't even recognise this makes you a stupid idiot.

Idiot

Whilst I agree in principle, I can not agree completely.

I personally have masticated a rather large wedge of humble pie in regards to Mr. Goldbergs superb, if not shady, piece of journalistic slash and burn. I emailed that fine journalist and apologized personally.

The difference is that that voluminous waffle is regurgitated tripe fit only for being vomited into the waiting mouths of Utd fans.

Oh dear. You sound a bit stressy..... New job a bit too much for you Bucky? Time for another disappearing act I'd suggest. You know like last time when you ran for cover when you thought we were going down.
