Arbitro, you are of course correct - lots of people (including me) want Rovers to win, and what I meant to say was that regardless of the result, the reality is that the result has no bearing on anything, other than a win is a better feeling than a defeat.

I think a relaxed bunch of Mackems will find us easy to push over, because none of the underlying problems have been fixed, and our absentee owners are showing all the signs of not giving a toss other than making the odious Waggot more comfortable in his surely fast approaching retirement.

Fair play to all those hardy souls making the long ish trek to the Stadium of Darkness in search of short term solace for the long term ills. For me, it is simply a case, as ever of...

VENKYS OUT!

Where's your poetic match results

win lose draw😊

These last three, are going to be tough to get positive results. We should be encouraged, by any points whatsoever. 

Play guys that can help us next year; don’t play loaners, or guys out of contract with no intent to re-sign. Play the young guys, if they’re any good, give us a glimpse of the future (before they’re sold off, lol).

Is the no "match centre" for the game today on Rovers site for everyone else, or is it just me?

Same here. No option to listen or watch.

[BankEnd Rover]

Woodrow starting today is probably the most bizarre thing I've seen this season...He's shite and he's not even our player - Makes no sense whatsoever starting him.

Why would Watford at home, a team in the bottom half of the form table and who have a poor away record, be tough to get a positive result against?

No problem at all from Span. Rovers TV is fine

Radio Lancashire now using rhyming slang to say it as it is.

It's gentry day for Preston at Hull, the away end will be full of bowler hats.

He has a worse first touch than Gallagher - should be nowhere near our starting XI.

Perfect opportunity to trial Gueye and Ohashi upfront together.

Right, we ought to get some kind of result there. 

[davulsukur]

5mins in and we don't really look up for this at all.

Neither do they to be fair. 

[WacoRover]

Well, good news, after 10 minutes, we haven’t conceded yet 😆

Nope, an absolute dead rubber of the highest order.

[B16Rover]

Sunderland commentary team have referred to our recent form as a bit of a dip.  Unsurprising now that they deem themselves a big club if this is their frame of reference

Cringe worthy 'we are the gentry' except when they come to Ewood and they are the apes.

Because we’re Rovers and like making it difficult for ourselves.

[B16Rover]

Keeper has a bit of the foosball about him. Horizontal across the line only

[RutlandRover]

Hmm feels like only a matter of time before we concede. Keeping the home crowd quiet at least but that's about the only thing positive!
