God we're shit. These cunts are trying to ruin Christmas. And the fucking refs in this league. Hateful

Commentator may have just nailed it - JDT thinks players being able to tippy tappy it out from the back adds to their resale value which clearly trumps winning. Fucking state of it

So it wasn't made clear that the performance against our biggest rivals wasn't acceptable based on this shite they've served up

I'd take Venkys for all of those wonderful year's, they feel like a dim and distant memory now but I'd still never give them up. Venkys will fuck off one day, luckily I'm only 39 so it should be in my lifetime as well. Could always be worse as well - could be a gay, alcohlic, football hooligan currently in Doha - for example.

CUNTS every single one of them

Exactly as expected tbh but needs to be made clear to JDT and the players that has not been fucking acceptable

The refereeing has been absolute shite as usual, but so have we in fairness

Be a great time to not wilt like a bunch a complete pussies for the first time when going behind this season

In fairness he's a secondary Championship commentator, what the fuck does he know?

Garrett looks like he a bit over whelmed by the occasion

COME ON ROVERS

Absolutely

Feel sick

Oh Mogga you old goat, you'll never learn. And that was the most infuriating thing for me - in the modern game you need to be able adapt and mix up your approach, he just treats the lads like his kids and lets them get on with it which is why he'll never manage in the Prem. Totally got away with hugely under performing here so I look forward to his melt down in the North East as it looks like a lot of them have worked him out already.

Can't believe I watch this shit sometimes, feel for the poor fucker's that have gone

Inevitable, absolute fucking toilet. We all know what happens from here

Fuck sake

We do look dangerous going forward but if we keep giving the fucking ball away we're going to have to score 3 to win this

Pretty sure we'll lose this one

Vale doesn't look up to it

Not a fucking chance

How many times are we going to pass the ball to them before we get punished.. And we all know what happens when the oppo score first

And also a few Rovers fans haven't noted the fact we don't have Mowbray in charge this year

Got a bad feeling about this one

I don't think its that cut and dry on JDT - as much as I want it to be. We've looked absolutely appalling at times this season and dare I say it generally had luck fall on our side across the season for the first time I can remember. I think in reality the league is bang average this year and that's what has us in first place above any great tactical nous from JDT - but you know what, if the outcome is the same and we're in the top 6 at the end of the season who gives a flying fuck, could be great banter watching Haaland score 8 against us at the Etihad next year..
