I was there and he didn't come near the Rovers supporters. If he did acknowledge us it was from the sanctuary of the other side of the pitch. When you are in a high profile, public role criticism is part of the job description. A lot of it is borne out of frustration. Providing it doesn't become personal or abusive I don't see it as an issue.

Neville is bang on. Probably the most sterile derby match ever - I've seen testimonials played with more intensity.

Without a shadow of a doubt.

There is an interesting story regarding Lowe to which I add some credence. Eric Kinder was appointed Academy Director and noticed a lot of Liverpool based staff who were offering next to nothing. He made it his mission to cull the lot of them including Lowe. The story is that Lowe spoke to the Punekars directly and not only was reinstated but promoted to first team coach.I There is a strong suspicion that he is the eyes and ears of Suhail and this is the reason Eustace didn't want him and found him some menial task.

He is in Year 11 at St Bedes and lives in Lower Darwen. I believe his family are Rovers fans.

Others do with your hypocrisy.

And therein lies the problem.

It's all relative. There are lots of clubs where supporters want to just have something normal. https://talksport.com/football/3064085/yeovil-town-owner-stepping-down-chairman-stadium-bans-fans/

So you spend money on individual tickets but feel able to criticise anyone who buys a season ticket. And it was you who said anybody buying a season ticket was 'part of the problem'. Can't you see how ridiculous you are making yourself look?

It is in the stooges interests to paint the players as 'victims' too. Aside from a bit of booing I have heard nothing directed towards the players. I don't know for sure if it's true but I saw something about Dolan being forbidden by the club from some event later the week.

Spurs fans are protesting today about ownership and Levy. https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/cgkgjn3z40xo

I have been told this morning that the players on the club's advice didn't exit the ground through their normal route (via Reception in the JW Stand) for security reasons. They were secreted through a side door and had some of the Security team escorting them to their cars. If this is true I'm waiting for some narrative from the club about hostility towards the players when there has been nothing of the sort. It also shows a weakness amongst this group of players. Why shouldn't they face the fans providing there isn't any personal abuse or threats. Shades of Kean here with his own bodyguard.

Surely walk ons are supporters otherwise why buy one? Unless you are trying to exonerate yourself as someone who buys individual tickets.

What was strange about it was that the player coming on, Craig Mahon is a winger (also the player-manager). It meant quite a reshuffle of players to accommodate this. It was odd when Warrington were really pushing for an equaliser.

After seeing Rovers capitulate recently and finding myself getting angry again I needed the sanctuary of a live game as a neutral. I went to Curzon Ashton v Warrington with a keen eye on Matty Litherland who is on loan at Curzon. I was surprised to see him playing at right back. I have seen him play there for the under 21's but he is a far better centre half. He pretty much coasted through the game as Curzon looked quite comfortable with their one nil lead. I was really surprised when he was taken off with a couple of minutes to go. This coincided with Warrington twice almost getting an equaliser. I'm not saying this was entirely down to him going off but it didn't help. The Curzon fans around me were also surprised to see him taken off. Another ex Rover, Stefan Mols came on as a substitute for Curzon.
