It's the stuff that happened in the years after the takeover..

But what about the quality of the pies FFS?

Gestede and the old "begin again/fresh start" syndrome! He is just another stooge, who is inviting us shelve any critical analysis of circumstances and patterns, which have continued for a long time... We see you, Rudy!

Just sighing at the same sentence containing "Venky's" and "do the decent thing"! And there's me thinking Paradox was just a kind of washing powder...

Who remembers: "Field shines, as Blackburn romp to victory" November '71..Furphy's revivalism... But in those days everyone within the club and on the terraces wanted the same thing.

Yep. Fck off, Venky's!

This reminds me of a damning line often used in child abuse investigations... The football authorities have shown a distinct absence of curiosity...

My favourite banner in the protests read:" The F.A. left us to Die!"

No apologies necessary. Made me laugh out loud!

In all fairness, he was getting himself in the right positions to miss so many in that first season after promotion. However, the "Beamo" joke should not overpower the reality that his goals and general play the previous season were crucial in our promotion. There was no hint of irony in the "Beamo" chants, as Gordon Lee's team won the 3rd Division championship.

Yes, I counted. I know what I'd have been muttering for the first 30 passes too. I can't pretend that this "reward" happens often enough ....or that it is worth all the "risk" and...well..er boredom!

Yeah, but I am wondering what I would have been thinking, had I been watching live... in the early part of the move there were 8 passes back to Pears!!

Well, every time I have seen Johansson against us, he has been world class.. Maybe, Cardiff fans will be saying similar about Pears!

Yes, I am sure it was a deliberate plan by Tomasson and Broughton to help in his development lol Seriously,though, maybe something positive has come from what was a negative decision..

He is certainly having an iffy spell...I think he is responsible for giving away 3 goals..Still a good player though imo...

"Some of the arguments clutched at by Gestede suggested that his opinion of the intellect of the average Rovers supporter is significantly lower than the actuality." @Herbie6590 Absolutely, bloody wonderful! Are you Thomas Hardy in disguise? Loving the sarcastic understatement...in the LT too Well done!

You'd almost think that they actually wanted to keep us low down in the league!

But the cheek of him to try "selling" it in the first place!

Didn't we expect this very thing, when Gestede took the Venky shilling?

Even the French only had to suffer four years. There were three of us this morning. I'm the only one this evening.. @47er

" Big support from owners..who have supported us, since they joined.." Fans|.."should be more grateful.." Well, Rudy, you must have headed a wet, soggy ball ball too many times, if you think we are going to fall for that. As predicted, the old, populist trick of paying an ex-player to push the Venky propaganda.. Fuck off, Gestede , and take your thirty pieces of silver with you!

And I do it myself!

And how many times have people made the "January" point in recent years?

In other words, no ambition, no hope...no point...
