Did the Red Card protest happen? - no mention of it on the radio 5 commentary.

Didn't see anything noticeable on TV. One brief WWVO chant, other than that nothing. Disappointing.

United are in first gear. They can pick it up any time they want

Agreed, combine that with the fact we will run out of steam with sound 20 minutes to go they could run riot especially if it stays 1-1 and Jose brings on zlat and pogba 

Although I'm proud to see us givin it a go but sick of the attitude towards United like we should be @#/?ing honoured to be on the pitch with em

Raises the question of deliberate relegation...? 

Also wonder if Guthrie got a start because somebody ok'd extra budget om wages for this game...

[Irishrover213]

Good first half bar the goal utd have been awful. Hopefully we can nick another. Emmes doing well as is mulgrew coybs

[blue kiwi]

the red card protest was dampened by the goal,pity really brilliant first half now the team have to but up with the dingle team talk,if Mulgrew lasts the 90 wemight have a chance.

We have to try to sign Emnes at the end of the season if we stay up. He's a free agent then.

He's obviously trying to impress watching Premier clubs today

[chaddyrovers]

Good 1st half. Attacking is good. But defensively poor. Such a poor goal to give away. So simple to defend

We can still win this

We won't stay up, he will end up somewhere like cardiff or Notts forrest

Could be right.

[arbitro]

Decent first half for Rovers but several United players will no doubt be feeling Jose's wrath. If they step it up they can win comfortably, we have peaked.

Paul scholes embarrassing himself there

The only deliberate act would be neglect or conflicts of interest. Even the owners, whoever they are, want us to be in the Premier League for the money, surely! Our league form is entirely down to poor management (at all levels) and, at the very best, an unmotivated group of players.

Still, that first half performance was good from us, and a fantastic goal. Emnes is in his element feeding through to Graham. I just can't believe how high up we push at the back when we have slow players against the likes of Rashford and Young. It's basic common sense to give them a good few yards, surely.

Fully agree. He is quality, and has just shown us what he can do against top players.

[Roverthechimp]

Swedish commentator mentions 8 missing firstteamers from Rovers??

I very much doubt we do much if any defensive training. It's a miracle we keep any sort of shape or structure.

Feeney is all speed and no quality. Every time I've watched him his end product has been diabolical. Admittedly (and fortunately) that isn't very often, but still.

Yeah i would say 8 are missing, graham, emnes, melgrew only players who should be first teamers.

Obviously does not know we have sold them

Interesting - 21 000 tickets sold was mentioned by commentator 

[matt83]

Is it possible to decline a corner and give them a goal kick instead. We always seem our most vulnerable when we get a corner.

Short of the 'basically a sell out' talk from BT then!

Gallagher is the only one i can think of. Hoban and Evans maybe..

Nonetheless, shows that there are plenty of fans who are not 'lost forever' or boycotting. They just don't want to watch Championship football.
