That post says more about you than them. 

With respect, like most people on the site I couldn't careless what you think blueboy, you're an irrelevance.

and just for the record, I stand by every word, and I don't ever say such things lightly, its taken over 20yrs for me to come out with such vitriol on here

Only if

1. Steele was the keeper for the opposition

2. Rovers budget has enough coppers left for the brown envelope.

I fear we would miss the penalty anyway.

Who will take our penalties if Conway and Graham aren't on the field I wonder? 

I just noticed our game is at 3. I thought it was at 8, as I am working today!

Presumably, you do not participate in Christmas at all then ?  If you do, is that not just gross hypocrisy ?

Yer i do. Spend time with family and friends. Give gifts to my kids and see the happiness on their faces etc. 

Do i celebrate the birth of Jesus, nope. Do i know anyone who actually does at Christmas? Nope.

The relegation thread! But not from the PL. Some right old tosh in he division below. We might win a few games.

Hope has abandoned these lands.

Though every relegation brings us closer to Jason Lowes level. Once we reach Irongate we've cracked it.

'The only place in which Rovers’ fate will be decided will be on the pitch, and is there in which they must summon the necessary spirit to show the fans that they care just as much about the club’s plight as those in the stands and others watching on from afar'

The LT have finally caught up.

'I'd have to counter that by saying perhaps the abject display against Barnsley was a sign that the players do care, so much so that the situation suffocated them. As professionals we know they're capable of more and have witnessed it against'

 

This was taken from a poster on the lancs telegraph message board in reply to someone who questioned the article about summoning the spirit. Some people just dont get it.

Bristol winning, everyone in the dog fight has started performing whilst we have curled up in a ball

[G Somerset Rover]

Surprising that. Most on here were telling us that they were dog awful and couldn't fight their way out of a wet paper bag.

Some people are just thick.

Great win but still 22nd and two points and a few goals from safety. 

Would happily swap our points record and remaining fixture list with any club above us- it's that late in the season.

[north_ender]

Great result for you that today. Dragged several teams back into it too. Another must win against Bristol though who have hit form. I think you'll beat them personally, they're poor away from home.

[Bigdoggsteel]

I can't see Birmingham winning another game, they are terrible and coming under more and more pressure. I believe we can scrape ahead of them. 

[Rover_Shaun]

Story of the season dictates we will stuff up the next game

Was thinking the same. They're on 47 points with -19 goal difference and still to play Burton (h), Villa (a), Huddersfield (h) and Bristol (a).

Wigan are gone with those fixtures left. 

Personally, I think 49 will do it, so 2 wins from 4 remaining. I can't see BOTH Burton & Forest picking up 5 or more points. Win on Monday and I think we'll do it, either way it's going to go down to Brentford away, let's hope it'll be similar to Wolves away a few year ago.

Burton probably have the worst run in from here. 

It's amazing how it's twisting and turning from game to game and how teams are handling, or in some cases not, the pressure.

This is a big result tonight - genuinely thought they'd win. Confidence will take a hit from here.

Burton got a goal back and a few minutes to draw level - twitchy bum time
