[Archived] Jason Roberts

[Mercer]

Apologies if this has been covered and if so please close this thread down.

Clearly, yesterday, he was neither in the team nor on the bench. Also, I have read no reports of an injury.

Speculation is that he was at Old Trafford.

If this is true then what the feck was he doing there ?

Surely, he should have been backing the rest of the lads whether injured or not.

Also, see that his Twitter has gone unusually quiet.

Are these the first cracks in Kean's empire ?

[Waggy76]

I asked this question last night ...Didn't get an answer but he definately said on 606 'I was watching the game and I have never seen a penalty over ruled like that before' Now he could have been watching a monitor from the players lounge , I have no idea but it is odd !!

Judging by our finishing yesterday I'd hazard a guess and say Roberts has been handed a new contract as our striking coach and has been passing down his knowledge of shooting to the squad. As for being at old trafford... well, he's pursuing a media career, and the media only care about the top 6, so it would make sense for him to be there. Maybe his role as striking coach is only part time, allowing him to further engage his post-football media career.

He was on his own up front. He was wearing a Yakubu outfit but his style of play gave him away.

Astonished if you, or any Rovers' supporter thinks that.

Partucularly in our predicament, surely, it's the duty of every single squad member to be there, encouraging and supporting the group.

Makes a bit of a nonsense of the 'unity calls' in Saturday's LT !

I wasn't being serious, Mercerman...

[seanc88]

He's a waste of space. better off having an academy lad on the bench rather than that useless ass kisser

Thank goodness for that, after some of the events of yesterday, I could believe almost anything !

[K-Hod]

I don't care where he was, he was 6 months away from being booted out under Sam, and until recently he has been the mouthpiece for this shower of sh1t regime we're lumbered with.

The less he starts, the more chance we have of winning as far as I'm concerned.

And no, I don't care if he's a nice guy or not, I'd rather have a smug idiot up front who knew where the goal was, and moved quicker than an ocean liner than Roberts!

Think that might have stopped after Friday's training session ! TBH, fishing around a bit - heard a bit of a rumour last night from a half cut Dingle friend, not sure whether he was winding me up or not but 2+2 might equal 4 here.

[bennyboyt11]

So why don't you share that rumour? Or did you just want someone to ask you?

[Brfcrule1]

I heard he injured his hamstring hence why Blackman was promoted to the bench hopefully when Kean goes to take up this possible Indian post he'll take his ass licker/mouth piece with him suits everybody that does

[John]

Jase is on MOTD2.

[Doug]

He's on MOTD2

[Grabbi Graeme]

Jase is on MOTD2.

It is now filmed at Media City in Salford, so expect to see him a bit more on MOTD/MOTD2, a tv studio is better for him anyway, well better than being on the pitch

[beastlove]

I believe Jason had an accident with a bucket. He was trying to make a storm trooper outfit and was using a plastic bucket as a helmet. Unfortunately he put it on the wrong way round (eye holes at the back) and couldn't get it off. If you listen to 606 you will notice the echo

[Emge]

In two months or something he will be 34 - and maybe the time is coming to take off the boots and put on a pundit-suit - he fits better in the media-world than on the footballground. Sometimes I actually enjoy some of his views (when its not about coco of course) so I would much rather see him on tv/radio than on our teamsheet

[DanLad]

Hopefully every time we play at Ewood he's at Old Trafford.

[Rovers_786]

he said on match of the day kean is doing well and working hard to fix the issues we got.

He is kean pet.
