Following this club can be so draining at times. How costly was that last minute goal at Preston? It's going to be a very long, dispiriting summer

I'd not heard of him before. Matt Woods of course I had heard of. think he emigrated to Australia, didn't he?

Just done a quick Google and it would seem to be Roy Stephenson yeah Before my time, but I like the older stuff. Makes me forget that venkys are a thing

Nicked off of Facebook, who's the fella in the background?

But why bother to own us then?

Totally agree with that. Particularly when it gets to Jan/Feb and the pitches are heavier. Flogging yourself in training doesn't help, and you should already be conditioned due to close season work, and the games and training you've already had. Disastrous transfer window notwithstanding, maybe this has had an effect on our form tailing off in a gig big way?

Weird isn't it I thought the proverb was train hard, win easy Train like a machine, play like a balloon, doesn't resonate so well

There's a tiny part of me that still hopes that they'll sell up soon. If they're choking off the funding (making a change from choking their gizzards) then perhaps they're getting completely hacked off with the losses. If they're thinking they can get the losses down to nowt, they're very much mistaken. They're slow learners, so the penny when it eventually drops, may see them sell? It's the only hope I have left

I've not enjoyed it at all. Admittedly there was a cup run. But the way that ended left a sour taste. I do like the ici perspex retro kit I have now though. And the sixties kit. Guess that's something

Fair point. Or he may have put feelers out, put his name in the frame. I guess we'll find out. If it was me and there was an offer there, I'd be off. You're on a hiding to nothing here.

From where I'm stood, the club appears to have an incoherent organisation, with incapable people like waggott occupying key positions and being vastly overpaid. It's not an organisation that's going places, and I don't feel it ever will until venkys decide they've had enough, of they ever do. So if you're at the club and someone comes in for you and you are talented and have something between your ears then of course you're going to go. I did have it wrong about jdt, but then again, we're so difficult to predict. I think given what an absolute train wreck of a club we are, we have no right to even be thinking of the play offs. I'd be surprised if what he's done here has gone unnoticed elsewhere

I've still got my ticket stub from the play off final. I remember that missed penalty, someone took out super, I remember him giving Newell the thumbs up. Certainly the last ten minutes was something akin to the Alamo for rovers. I can remember it now. It was an unbelievable day. I think the overriding thought is that I fell so old now. What happened? Not brass farthing in my pocket, but so much energy and not a care in the world.

Think he does hospitality for the club. At least he did. I'm glad Derek is in good health

Oh it would've been forty of years ago. But it's no wonder we've got ex players now with so many issues, when things like that were happening

I would hope and pray that wouldn't be allowed these days. No bandage, no stitches, nothing by the looks of it. Yeah, it's bravery. But medical discretion is the better part of honour. I know Hendry is worried about the damage he's potentially done himself. John McNamee isn't very well, he's another tough ex defender. I've been reading a bit of Rob burrows book. It makes for sobering reading. I don't want to be a stick in the mud. I know people like watching gladiatorial contests. But if guys are playing like that every week, they're risking their health

Noel Gallagher you say? Maybeeeeeeeeee

Even better than the real thing

I'd definitely take a point right now ta. A last minute winner for Burnley that secures them the title. This is the stuff of nightmares

BEEEEEEEEEAAAMMMMMOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

And if we went up, we'd get absolutely tramelled every week. Not that we're going up, and we won't be doing so at least until the chicken ticklers are gone.

Tony and John sadly not very well but still with us. We've lost Ken, Mick, Johnny and Don unfortunately. Good find that,ta

Great kit, hope it brings us luck today. I was born in April seventy two, so they were wearing something very very similar at that time. I wonder how many players from April seventy two are still with us?

Couldn't agree more with this. Since venkys took over, getting a gig at rovers means doing just enough to get your money, but don't be too successful because that will raise expectations and you might not be able to meet them they're all at it and venkys couldn't give a shit.

I was thinking more that if you're lacking bottle, then tim is yer man to bring in https://twitter.com/FootballCliches/status/860607416878190592

Bring back Tim flowers
