[Exiled in Toronto Mk2]

I think we might win this

Really like the look of Beck. Great performance today considering no time to train with the team

[ItsRoverZ]

Last ten mins and I'd kill for a draw but we know whats coming with how the games gone 

[Mars Rover]

Get some fresh legs on for Dolan and give it a go

[Tom]

Not liking the players they’ve brought on seems 2-3 match winners in there 

Get our new lad on for some pace 

[Exiled_Rover]

Let's hope their CB's hamstring has gone there. 

[AspRover]

I kind of feel that if we score the ref will contrive to give someone a second yellow card for excessive celebration or something

[Crozzy]

What a tackle by beck on benson 

[Displaced Rover]

More atmosphere in a funeral home than this sorry excuse for a stadium. Such a nothing club.

Yep. Bad pass on the break to Ohashi there with plenty of time to pick it. 

[Crozzy]

Again beck. What a performance 

[TommyRovers]

Whatever the result, Beck is fantastic.

I can't say I've noticed too many players getting booked in the PL for waving an imaginary red so I wasn't aware it was an actual rule as such.

In that particular instance I really think a bit of common sense is required given he's already on a yellow. The Burnley player commits a cynical foul and gets off scott free. Gueye does nothing really wrong and ends up being sent off. Surely a severe ticking off and a "this is your last chance" type warning would have sufficed.

I'm going to sound like Exiled this week and say what with the disallowed goal the officials have Haa an absolute mare. I wouldn't bet against the ref sending another of ours off although having sent one off he might calm down a bit.

 

I don't usually single out referee performances either, but this one has been dire. There's poor standards, which sums up refereeing in the Championship in general, and then there's whatever this is. Beyond the pale and ruined the game irrespective of result.

He really has been Where It's At today

[WacoRover]

Burnley with a man advantage, they've done nothing with it

Surely on merit he's the starter now. 

[Crozzy]

It had. 

[Scoobydo]

Becks class… why do we sign these loan players though? 👀 

[davulsukur]

Owen Beck has had a really good game

[Wing Wizard Windy Miller]

Even if we don't hold on here, much much better. 

[moerpho]

Beck putting in a MotM performance in his debut for Rovers against Burnley away from home at 22. Looks good.

[pick32]

Pickering is now the understudy 

[B16Rover]

As a note, you can tell who pays for sky sports and who doesn't
