That must be at least 5 fouls by Bannan.

Bannan shags Webb, a known fact, alledgedly

And now he tries to kick the ball away.

Is the ref his dad?

Another game we didn't deserve to lose where we've dropped points. Frustrating.

No.

Bannan is a snot nosed bastard.

Nothing excuses that we are bottle job wimps though.

We’ve been very poor, but I can’t believe what they’ve got away with.  Especially Bannan, he could’ve been booked four times today.

[booth]

Totally undeserved by Wednesday but I suppose they are due some luck and they've had it today.

[jim mk2]

And 3-1

Dreadful performance.

Spoilt the weekend after the excitement of England's win last night

[Exiled_Rover]

Completely underserved, but that's football for you.

When is Pears back?

I wonder what the stats show, but I'm not convinced there's much difference between them really. Very much a problem position as Chris Sutton said at Norwuch.

[AllRoverAsia]

We could not be worse if we played without a keeper.

[superniko]

Disgraceful refereeing. What can you do though when the standard is just so horrific and the same pleps get rolled out each week.

Rubbish that Blackburn and felt vaguely inevitable as soon as we hit form.  I say Blackburn too because from a recruitment point of view, a desire point of view and an ability to deal with the 'nasty' side of the game!

Yeah they pressed Leicester very well…However if we get past their midfield I think we will Still catch them.

 

 

Seems not

[superniko]

Should have been 2 yellows for that lad. 1 for the tackle. 1 for gobbing at both player and referee (oh and the 4 other horrible tackles he’s put in)

[booth]

Vaulks in the back of Moran, terrible tackle.

Finally gets a yellow card after fouling all game, then tells the referee to fuck off with some vitriol and is allowed to carry on.

Sums this referee up.

Its the same shite refs that take charge of all the games. The best teams in the division take control of games and are tough enough that the standard of refereeing doesn't matter. We aren't one of those top teams in terms of strength in depth, quality in key positions (GK, ST), or mentality. Frustrating - yet another missed opportunity.

[Darwen Rover 007]

Not mentally strong enough.. we clearly went into this game thinking ots  guaranteed 3 points.. bad day at the office Hopefully they will learn they cannot Underestimate anyone

Finally booked Vaulks (another one that was well overdue).  But let him give Moran a bit of abuse and then exhaust his vocabulary at the ref as well.

Weak little man who has had rings run round him by some of the “experienced” Sheff Weds lads.

[Cherry Blue]

Lack of investment, poor window and the usual shite standard of refs has shown up for us again. 

Best to get back coach and forget this one.

[johnradfordsubbuteo]

Looking like a very looooong December.

[LDRover]

Bad result that but this is what happens after years and years of reducing investment in the squad.

[rovers11]

We've been poor today and that's an embarrassing result against a league one side. 

If we'd been anywhere near our normal levels then we would have won easily today.

They looked a bit knackered and without a senior striker to me.

[CambridgeRover]

Venkys get out of the club you low life bastards

[roverblue]

Only seen the result but typical rovers to do a shit team a favour when we have been doing so well
