Given how many goals we shipped last season, new defenders were more of a priority than Sam Gallagher, for example!

I’ll drink to that! Bring your bank card....

To be fair, if someone invited me out for a meal and they said we would be eating at 9.30pm, I probably wouldn’t go either!

So far, I’m right though? If he delivers, I’ll give him the praise due. If not, I’ll get you a pint next time I see you?

It’s an observation lad. If we sign defenders that are an improvement on what we have, then great, nobody will be happier than me!

We conceded 69 goals last season, Tony Mowbray said defenders are coming, but we aren’t supposed to question what our manager says as he has a microphone shoved in front of him all the time apparently. Anyone with two working eyes can see that the manager was right in saying we need new defenders, but apparently if we criticise him for not delivering what he said he would we are too negative. The internet is a strange place sometimes.

Not quite. It was being used to wind folk up. Trolling=against the rules.

Probably because different posters have different opinions, is my guess.

Think you need to simmer down pal. You can insult that man all you want, but use of that word on here won’t fly.

Then I’d recommend visiting an opticians lad. I’m sure there are plenty in your neck of the woods.

I do think that sometimes, people are a bit harsh in response to your posts to be honest, but the bit in bold has me wondering why anyone would ever say this on a Rovers forum unless they were attempting to get some serious bites. A truly terrible comment, it really is. Coyle was an absolutely horrendous manager for us, no ifs, no buts, no maybes. He was the doughnut we all thought and more.

Bit of a daft comment. Anyone would want good players, regardless of where they come from, surely? If they’re academy products, even better, saves on the transfer fees!

We aren't currently looking to add to the moderating team, but I'll keep your details on file for next time!

'Defenders are coming'. Mowbray, T, 2019.

Look, you don't need to keep repeating yourself., we know you don't rate Mowbray. Can you also stop the text speak please?

It costs £12 for a live stream, if only there were alternative ways to watch the game without paying....

I trust he’s a man of his word and that defenders really are coming. Or is that one of those phrases we weren’t supposed to dissect and take him at his word?

That’s pretty petty tbh.

I wouldn’t recommend it, but if you’re hungry...

Personally, I do my best! The lads I know personally that post on here that know me, know how I am. But if people have issues, they can always inbox me. I won’t reply until tomorrow, but, you know, I’m mostly available...

I mean, we try, but we also have lives!

£70k a week, Forster is on apparently. We are basically relying on Southampton being both a football club and a charity, if that’s coming off....

*Shameless plug*. Biz, of this parish, is curating an event at Tap Select in Oswaldtwistle next Sunday between 2 and 6pm, there’s live music and I’m djing (hip hop, reggae, ska, soul, funk, rock and roll and many others), if you’re in the area, pop in and have a drink!

Basically, anyone that provides us with any information that we wouldn’t otherwise have needs to be appreciated, not vilified. I’ve been out this afternoon and just trying to catch up, but it seems some folk don’t listen, so, I’ll say it again a bit less discreetly: ‘Please can you stop being dickheads with each other?’ In case any more light needs to be shed, as in general life, a dickhead is a dickhead, it’s not just a belief system, it’s a way of life. Personally? I’d recommend logging off and going to the pub. I would absolutely not recommend the consumption of alcohol and logging back in. We’ve enough issues as it is! Thanks again.

Good discussion re millenials et al, but can we draw a line under it there and get back on topic, please? Nice one.
