If he has any impact at all I'll be pleased - tough injury to come back from and may take him a while. Hopefully we don't need him in the play offs!

A 1-0 win today with Okera Simmonds with the goal. Based on no personal knowledge and purely on stats the lad seems a talent

Seems like Te-Jay joined the academy in 2016 but in 2017 was playing for Rochdale youth Mariner is a Samoan that apparently left Brisbane Strikers in May 2016 to come here So not sure if either are still here edit - seems Mariner never joined due to visa issues

It's ridiculous - I love it!

Suppose it's not seen as cost effective for a youth game Wonder what the upstairs / downstairs business was about Every game my the floor around my seat at the back of the JW lower is drenched, I always wonder if it's water from the roof or it's hosed down, it will be a death trap Sunday if it's the same!

That really is a good interview, well said Tony

No Mahoney in the Barnsley squad tonight, is he injured?

Rudy has been getting some stick recently from Boro fans - he's just bagged a couple tonight Delighted for him

I think that part of the offside rule is fine myself, if a cross comes in and just before it's struck a striker has flung himself anticipating a diving header and his top half beyond the last defender and he scores I think it's right that he's offside even though his feet may not be. For me the Mata goal was rightfully ruled out but the messy way it was proven needs work. Out of curiosity you say you aren't a fan of any technology in football, how about goal line technology?

Yesterday it worked Goal correctly disallowed

100% with you on the hair

Like to see Ainsworth in a bigger job; fancied him at Ewood a couple of times when we've had the vacancy.

Rovers have signed Okera Simmonds after he was released by Liverpool, 18 month deal

Joao and Rhodes up front tonight for Wednesday and Joao has scored already Having seen both of them I think that could be a really handy partnership

Is it similar to Ask Jeeves or Lycos?

So what went on at Ewood between Hanley and Rudy? Some malice in that tackle yesterday

Is he the lad that came from Carlisle?

I presume this means in talks with Sunderland nightclubs to make sure he's fit in there before he signs. Wasteman!

Good captain as well, never once heard Lowe shout on the pitch but can constantly hear Mulgrew organising things and shouting from my seat in the JW lower 'HYEA HYEA'

Well it's just proved a little farcical, Willian booked for a dive in the box when it was an obvious penalty Any good work with the correct decision last night has been undone and to make it worse players are going to the ref to ask for decisions reviewed now

But that decision last night was correct, he was onside whether by an inch or a foot it was a correct call to overrule the linesman. Difficult where to draw a line on this really

Yep a friend just pointed out to me that now any time a player is flagged off he's going to go and try and finish to make a case The old adage 'play to the whistle' may not ring true

Offside overruled and goal given via VAR Took a while as it was a close one but the outcome was correct

He's wrong, I was explicitly told on here that he won't be used out wide. He looks well suited to that role for me, yesterday it almost felt like we had Chapman back when he came on, really useful to be able to stretch the opposition with some pace.

Are we rewriting history about Joao now? Sure there was a photo of him and Emnes sat like naughty schoolboys for turning up late but he was decent for us, got a couple of late goals that could have been vital had things been ever so slightly different. Armstrong played out wide at least initially today, I think it's where he's most likely to feature and thought so since he signed
