Fair enough, well done to stick with last teams line up. To me this is a pivotal game

Litmus test for Eustace today. For those of us who have toiled with following Rovers for many year, we know that this is a big game. Typically, with interest on the rise, sell out following, game on TV and results going well, this means an abject performance is coming. Hopefully Eustace and his players can buck the trend. Hiw dirty will knob end be today. I still maintain that the shithouse who gave Dacky that extra nudge as he went out of touch is what contributed to his injury and the begining of the end for Bradley Let's smash em.

WORK? I would trade them for my 50 years of working.

Learning some restraint in your old age Abs, I am proud if you. Surprised but proud.

We are always oroud to support our team, it's those at the top we do not care for.

ROI absolutely dire 1st have. England looked to be in low gear and still miles ahead of the Irish. One could have been forgiven for thinking that Southgate was still in charge. FFS ket's get a manager who can get this young attacking talent playing forwards.

Looks like I will have to watch this the next day. Almost 14.months ago my house burned down, the.Bristol.match we will finally be moving home, it has been a bonafide nightmare. Be good to be home, hope I can afford it. I just have to stay away from the score and log on very carefully for it to seem like live. Tricky game this always feel we play poorly 1st game after a break. Hoping for a strong win but gut tells me 1-1 or 2-1 to Bristol.

Wrong thread.

I like him too. I like this thread too great idea. It is good to have some insight on how our loans are fairing. Good stuff. I don't.even know half the players listed. Keeping tabs on those that have been around the first team will be fun, I hope.

Any rumours of free agents heading out way. Another Big Mac type be handy for suspensions and injury. We seem to be better with him in the field

What is going to be interesting is whether the new keeper goes backwards while here. I have a sneaky feeling he will. We need a better keeper coach, Kaminski went backwards under Benson and none of our keeprs have got better I expect this fella to drop off too.

Think they got it right.

Sonetimes you just have to hold your hand up. Dingles came out fired up and played well. Fortunately we held em to one and clawed our way back into it. Just enjoy the moral victory.

Poor Everton, what a collapse. Dyche has to be getting the axe soon.

Back in the day that was not a booking, not a foul just a bloody good tackle

Loved Beck's tackle to end the Oles. Still do not see a yellow for Mac's 1st nor Travis'...Not even a foul that. Does a team jave to have been in the Prem recently to teach their players how to roll like that jeezHchrist. I think we missed a trick not outting pressure on Trafford when he was dealing with pass backs. Deffo a clanger or two in him.

On the disallowed goal my first reaction was that the dingle commited a foul.and the ref pulled it back cos he had blown. At first I was pissed he did not allow the advantage. Offside my arse.

A little bit ahead just slightly but that angle would have favoured us, .ake us kook less offside Kin plonkers.

Was not so instant, he was on the ground ffs. Yellow should have been iut before he got up, booked Mac for less earlier

Saw that, was great but I expected a yellow to come.

Also I thought Anthony was offside from the fancy flick on before he crossed it. Could be wrong but looked it and I probably am since no one else seems to be mentioning it

Based on his performances when he was here last I would be ok with that. Decent player I thought.

Yeah, we need another Big Mac. We do look more dangerous with him on and he was not beaten in the air much at all unless he was fouled. The replay of the foul on him by the dingle made it look intentional to me. He was not even trying for the ball went for the man. Red card for me that one.

I don't know why he was not booked, same as Indo not know how he arrived at a lot of his decisions

Thise dingles really enjoy rolling on the ground was it 5 rolls from Foster at the end. Brownhill too rolled once kokked at the ref then oushed iff for two more Dirty cheating cnuts. I give up if Travis' yellow was even a foul. Perfectly.ti.ed slide ahead of the man an wins the ball cleanly THEN after the ball is gone the dingle clatters into Trav. Utter bollox. Well done and certainley a moral victory. Tell you what if Big Mac keeps this up he will get the Venkies lotsa millions. He is a player love him already. Streets ahead of Gally. Well done to those who found him. Sucks we have to be without now. He will learn. Good goal for 2-1 pricks in black. Ref could not even keep it consistent. The League officials have to be responsible for this disgracefull officiating show. If ever a Championship game needs a Prem Ref it is THE East Lancs derby they should have.made sure it had a good ref and assistants. Red faces on those that talked smack about Beck before he even kicked a ball. He keeps that up Pickering is not getting back in the side until Beck goes back to Liverpool. Well done lad, not an easy first game the derby.
