Evidently I don't know what a foul is anymore. A slight tug on a player is a yellow card. Except if they're through on goal in a Rovers shirt, then it's play on. Clattering through the back of a player is fine too.

LOL how has he not blown up for that blatant foul on Brereton? Oh, cos he's a shite ref.

He's a bloody good player (which he clearly isn't as he's playing in the Championship) if he's getting to that ball before Wharton. Watch it again - Wharton hammers it clear instantly.

Giles doesn't give a fuck - awful body language and effort. He's not going to have a successful career.

As I said, you're issuing 22 yellow cards a game if you're booking players for that. The ref was bullied into it - absolute coward.

He's not a FB either, so what is his position?

Neither foul a yellow. Mowbray has taken Nyambe off for Johnson - I'm off to watch the Rugby League. He really is a shit manager.

If you're booking a player for that then you're issuing 22 yellow cards a game.

This ref is a disgrace.

This is so bad that I might have to watch the second half of Wigan v Saints.

And then he's just looked at their CF pushing Van Hecke out of the way on a goal kick and not acknowledged it. Baffling. Absolutely baffling.

That's another shocking refereeing decision against us. It's a contact sport.

Our lads are on the beach.

There's no danger of that happening - he's been close enough to the Rovers situation to know we're run by absolute clowns. Unless he has a burning desire to get back at Burnley, he'll go on the SKY punditry circuit and wait for something better to turn up.

Since when? The Academy rescuing Mowbray by providing half of his starting XI isn't a commitment to bringing through young players. He didn't want Travis or Wharton and clearly has never thought a great deal of Nyambe.

What club structure?

You're not surprised they've sacked the sole reason they've had success in the last 30 years? Of course you aren't.

I'll be giving that game a miss I think.

We've been donkey since January. Some of you on here are clearly perpetual optimists. I envy you - I gave up in February when it was clear as day we were in a nose dive.

Bloody hell, how are Huddersfield 3rd? They're crap. This league is terrible.

Too honourable for this lot then - we only seem to attract self serving snakes.

I get angry at how our club has been treated - and is viewed by external parties. I'd rather go bust at this point than continue in this purgatory.

Elliott - excellent Harwood Belllis - excellent Khadra - good JPVH - outstanding Tosin - very good Harrison Reed - misused Branthwaite - very poor Giles - misused Poveda - poor Clarkson - very poor It's a mug's game analysing his loans though - being a nursery for PL academies is the lowest hanging fruit. If you have any sort of eye you can identify who the good ones are and offer them a starting space at your Championship club for a year. PL clubs lap that up. He's relying on loans to fill out the gaps in his squad because his recruitment has been abysmal year in, year out. He's lucky that 5 Academy players are holding down the fort in the starting XI - an Academy that he and his mates are trying to get rid of.

Horrible thread, that. Small minds from a small club. We've literally had 12 years of the worst owners in all of football*. A once proud, family, club has been reduced to a shell. The fact we have ANYONE turning up to these games is a testament to the support we once had. *for anyone debating that, the teams that have gone bust and bounced back, at least they've had that opportunity. The Venkys just squeeze the life out of us and pay enough of the bills so we're left in purgatory.

Occam's razor - they're really that incompetent. We have an administration full of chancers who, quite frankly, don't give a stuff about the club. The result is what you see on match days - a club dying on it's arse.
