[Archived] Manchester City v Rovers Third Round Replay

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Decent performance but what a crying shame we can't offer more in attack.

[Amo]

Chiles: "Can we give Rovers any credit?" *shakes head dismissively*

How about you go suck one, you Brummie tw@t?

[den]

Are you still convinced that Bowyer and the players do not take this game seriously, by the way?

Bowyer hasn't given his all with the team selection, but fair do's to the players, they've done well. Has to be said that this is nowhere near the standard that City can reach. They're fielding a side good enough to win the game without risking key players or taking too much out of themselves. Just as we used to do.

[Derbyshire Blue]

At least not disgraced, and a sickener to concede on the stroke...Hope he brings on Rudy for the 2nd... Come on Rovers do us proud

[thenodrog]

Ah FFS, just like the first leg - only this time, I don't think we'll get an equalizer. Oh well, we've still done a damn sight better than several Premier League teams who have visited the Etihad this season.

Careful..... Thats a touch premature mate.

I honestly cannot believe we have been so lucky as to get a proper footballer like Cairney for as little as 500k. So impressed with his touch, movement and composure.

[Tom]

Excited at the prospect of seeing Mahoney at some point

[Hekla]

Cairney is so so good, just shows you can get good players cheaply. Fantastic display from him.

Eastwood on

Den- 100% agree. City are still in 1st gear and just about doing enough.

When you're sat in row Z

and the ball hits your head

.....it's Dzeko.

If we were taking this seriously ourselves we'd have been in with a chance.

Campbell is as much use as a chocolate fireguard.

[FGS5635]

Uuugghh hope robbo isnt injured to bad

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

Eastwood on

I thought Robbo was hopping a bit after kicking it out once or twice.

[Mike Graham]

Careful..... Thats a touch premature mate.

Give it 5 minutes Gordon ;-)

[Lurid Coat]

Careful..... Thats a touch premature mate.

Hah, agree - I meant that tour first half performance has been decent, we might very well be on the receiving end of an utter tonking in the second half!

Eastwood on for Robbo - wonder what's wrong with Paul this time.

[RevidgeBlue]

Robinson off for Eastwood. Joke.

What if outfield players pick up knocks?

[thenodrog]

I honestly cannot believe we have been so lucky as to get a proper footballer like Cairney for as little as 500k. So impressed with his touch, movement and composure.

Indeed. We'd not have had a cat in hells chance if he 'had' two feet mind.

[Lurid Coat]

Oh FFS.

[Amo]

Goodnight, everyone.

[FGS5635]

Game over

[Mike Graham]

Kean defending.....sorry brilliant thru ball

[Stuart]

Here comes the avalanche...

[JAL]

Very poor defending from Grant Hanley

[Mike E]

Cheap goal tbh. Go all out now. No shame boys!

[DE.]

Could get embarrassing now.
