I had my suspicions at the time, I am absolutely certain 14 years later.

Venkys have a history of relegation us, nearly did it within their first six months in situ.. It was obvious, what was going to happen the season after and it did, we went down with barely a whimper! Not a lot as changed in 14 years.

I can go back a long time , the name was Jim Iley. In fact there are many similarities in the situations of now and 1978. Jim Smith went to Birmingham in March 78 and Iley replaced him .. He didn't last long maybe October 78. No play offs in those days .

Steve, won't give a shit, he has only played 15 mins in the league! Not much appearance money there 👌

No it is not , you are quite right but I think most of us know , why we did !

Our problems in goal have coincided with the Venkys : Roger Jones , Jim Arnold , Terry Gennoe all a long time ago , were very good keepers..

Correct ,this situation staged managed by Waggott and his sidekick , to deflect the blame from THEM ..

Our 'significant investment' looks rather 'insignificant ' tonight .

There wont be enough people attending next season for it to kick off .. Waggott and his Indian side kick played a blinder today , with Rovers fans calling Eustace out ,the focus should have been those 2 despicable reptiles ! Venkys Out !

Your mate , will probably be proved right ...

And from what I witnessed today , staying in this Division will be very difficult next season . It is early days but my gut feeling is this manger is a big step down from Eustace !

Appalling performance, Venkys out

Muchos gracias senor disfruta !

I hope it is not only John Eustace who gets some verbal abuse tomorrow, the real enemy is within our ranks, S. Waggott and S. Pasha they manipulated this whole fiasco!

The Champions league needs to revert to back to a knock out cup.... A far better competition, when there is jeopardy in every game !!

I doubt, I will bother with a season ticket next year, Saturday lunch games are not for me, plus the Waggott factor.. Venkys Out

Think we had the killer blow in January .The 'significant investment ' !

Probably the way the manager at the time played ..

You are right Tyrone but they probably have no idea, who Adam Wharton is!

I can see it being a difficult afternoon. But I said that at Sunderland last Easter.. You never know, we might pull a rabbit out of the hat again.. Or 5!

I would be surprised if it wasn't Pickering next season and some odd ball loan.. Cannot see the owners wanting to sign Ribiero, he will be offered an insulting offer and sign for Plymouth.

The owners will be after flogging him but then again it might be easier for them to run down his contract.

That is how i saw it ,had a good view of the penalty.. He was very late for the first challenge , Norwich were looking for him to foul again.

You mean our 'significant investment ' but we all knew that ! We have been 'Venkied' for 14 years , unfortunately !

Paul Shepstone ?
