[Archived] Manchester City v Rovers Third Round Replay

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

you want a cricket score ?

It could be a cricket score with the first team out.

[Lancs Rover]

On the coach to the game. North Lancs branches of Rovers and City supporters on a joint coach together. Hoping to retain some pride at least for the journey home. COYB

[ABBEY]

You're early Abbey!!

Working about 2 miles away .. Come straight here

[Tyrone Shoelaces]

And stuff the travelling fans who have paid good money to watch the game?

My point is we have a large group of players all at roughly the same level of ability. We've been complaining all season the we don't know our best team. We could play another eleven players tonight that could play just as well or just as badly as the case may be.

No Rhodes, Gestede on bench ... Campbell starts.

Your prediction or fact?

[Tom]

No Rhodes, Gestede on bench ... Campbell starts.

That's disappointing to hear you would think we would be going for it a little more than that

[RevidgeBlue]

No Rhodes, Gestede on bench ... Campbell starts.

Oh dear.

[Steve Kean's Hypnotoad]

Massive credit to everyone who's gone, I hope Rovers put in a performance for the fans more than I care about the result or progressing. Its very hard to see how we can though, I'd advise everyone to try and have fun regardless, bit like the West Ham fans carried on singing at 5/6-0 down.

[Tom]

For the team and manager it's a bonus game but the travelling fans at least deserve to see us give it a real go

Sorry what? That's random (and awful)

Ha ha. We shared a coach down from Edinburgh for a game against Forest in the 90s. Very convivial on the way down but not quite so much on the way back after we had humped them 7 zip.

[pick32]

Glad I didn't go if it's a weakend team, the 4000 at least deserve to see the first team go there and battle not roll over.

[rovers11]

Couldn't blame Bowyer if he did put a weakened team out. We're not going to win whoever plays so why risk players that we need for the forest match which is far more important.

I'm sure whoever plays will give their all and do us proud.

[ABBEY]

So bowyer talks this up and that and then plays weak team Ffs !!!

I've heard rumours he's at the DW undertaking a medical chaddy. £6m plus Beausejour.
