Disagree.

The next appeal may be more legitimate and the perception might be 'here we go again, Rovers playing the system' and we end up stuffed.

I would fight good and proper for 'justice' but, IMO, the Lenihan appeal stinks and will not have enhanced our stock with the powers that be.

 

It was a legitimate appeal. For me it didn't tick all the boxes for the denial of an obvious goalscoring opportunity but as I said on Sunday the appeals process can be random and totally depends on the three people making the decision.

[Tormund]

Cracking team that is.

[Mercer]

Strong team that.

Can't see us failing to win.

Simply no excuses given City's bigger injury problems.

Some you get, some you don't.

How Millwall will feel aggrieved after having had 3 excellent penalty shouts turned down.

Luck tends to balance out over the course of a season.

I don't disagree. Just saying if it's not a straight red it's not necessarily a second yellow. Ref could have chose to give nothing. Hopefully Ayala remembers he's not a goalkeeper tonight.

I think it would have been a dereliction, merely to accept it...

Not just audio?

Sorry don't know time will tell.

 

[Doug]

That's a much better team than I was expecting and a decent bench.

Come on Rovers

[Paul Mani]

Strong team - COYB

[roversfan99]

Decent team, hopefully Armstrong is central and Elliott right and he doesnt try to overcomplicate it with false 9 nonsense.

I’ve just looked on the Bristol Twitter - they’re all saying it’s a strong team and are delighted with it?

[Ossydave]

Really like the look of the team, hope Del hasn't been rushed back in. What would be nice is to go 90 mins with no fresh injuries 🤞

Lenihan got some hammer but I don’t know what else he could’ve done. Had to make an attempt, both players tussling, Toney went down. It was a really soft decision imo. We had to challenge it on principle!

[rock steady]

Feels like a big game tonight with how the league looks. Even though it's very early days. The type of game in which we often fail to perform.

But I'm feeling optimistic.

Presumably given the players they have remaining then. They have Da Silva, Baker, Mawson and Sessegnon all out at the back, Williams and Walsh are key midfielders out, Weimann is out and Paterson (their best attacking midfielder) is out.

Its almost as if the football authorities don't want to be seen as getting it wrong. Give in to one 50/50 decision will question their judgement. Unfortunately they are unapproachable and I can guarantee tonight's ref will be no different. 

[Blue blood]

Strongest team available. Good to see. For me this is the most winnable of the games in our tough run so well worth our strongest line up.

Yeah. Those three Burnley supporters was a bummer.

[Stuart]

Sky banging on about how many goals we’ve scored.

0-0.

[bazza]

Surely Williams cannot be match fit. I wouldn't expect him to play 90 minutes.

[den]

Really looking forwards to watching rovers these days, that can only ever mean one thing.

never mind that, come onnnnnn rovers!

[darrenrover]

My wife's just asked me are you watching Corrie or Rovers? 🙄

Today's our 37th Wedding Anniversary, so as I'm sipping on a glass of Dom Perignon Grand Cru, the answer should have been bloody obvious to the love of my life for so many years:

COME ON YOU BLUES!!

ps thank feck for a pal's SKY GO Log in, absolute lifesaver. You know who you are. 😍👌

I have a season pass. I've just logged on and I think I'll be able to watch the game. So what is all the nonsense about audio only?

I got caught up in the conversation. Is it to do with overseas supporters??

Someone said only overseas supporters will be able to watch it.
