I did reply in the FF thread, but, appreciate it may have been missed. Rudy Gestede is currently shadowing Steve Waggott, as I think he’s after going into the boardroom at a club, eventually.

That first goal was just everything good about Szmodics in one move. Sent Vestergaard for a hot dog, then ran half the length of the pitch to score. So much for him to do, but he was never going to give it up, without scoring. The graft of a shit player, who’s making up for shortcomings elsewhere in their game and the craft of a real goal scorer. He’s just been incredible for us this season.

My old man is a PNE fan and he’s very much Lowe out. I did try to say, they finished 10th, that’s probably about as good as, maybe even better than their squad suggests. (I.E, do they have the 10th best squad in the league or not?).

Is it any wonder he gets criticism, with his record since coming in? Christ.

A relief we’ve stayed up, nothing more. If we don’t sign some new players that are any good, we’re in big trouble next season. We won’t see any more of Sammie in a Rovers shirt, let’s be honest, but he absolutely goes with my blessing, the guy is unbelievable. He plays with the spirit of a fan, his effort, his determination and obviously his goal scoring just set the tone for the team.

Look, Eustace wasn’t officially in charge for that match, you’re gonna need to get over it.

Well yeah, that’s the nearest hospital 😅. He grew up in Rammy for definite.

They’re hardly getting away with anything, they can’t be forced to say anything they don’t want to. Bar refusing to meet with them, what else would you have people do instead? It’s all well and good people giving it the big’uns on here, this doesn’t just go for you Revidge, but anyone else too. You can have my spot and represent the message board if you think you could do a better job, by all means, as I’ve stated previously. Easy to criticise from afar.

I suspect the second one. But, I’ll bring it up at July’s meeting.

Nah, he’s from Ramsbottom.

Speaking of low blows! Of course we do. Last meeting, he said he was unable to talk about that aspect of the last window, however.

They also confirmed we’d signed Duncan McGuire and Lewis O’Brien.

Given what has happened with the last few sales, it’s far more likely that it won’t go into the team than it will. See the money received from Jordan Rhodes’ sale, for reference.

I just don’t understand how that was offside and how it took them so long to reach that decision.

Appreciate you want to be optimistic, I really do. But, given how much of our recent big sales has gone back into replacing them, I probably wouldn’t hold your breath.

What an absolute throbber. Doing the motion of slitting someone’s throat, when I bet he couldn’t even knock out a wank.

We do, it just doesn’t go on the team.

Turns out our planning for food is still as good as ever. We’d run out of pies, the pie mash and gravy trays and hot dogs before half time yesterday. You’d have thought the club would know what the attendance was, ahead of kick off, yesterday….

Worry for me is that there’s no plan, no intention to succeed and no ambition. As well as obviously feeling we won’t get any of the Wharton, Raya, or likely Szmodics cash to go back into the squad, I just wonder what the point of it all is tbh. My mate I sit with is the same and this is two people who’ve had season tickets for 30+ years and I imagine, others will be the same.

I don’t think it’s that deep tbh mate. I imagine Gestede still knows someone at the club and they’ve put a word in for him.

But that would have meant us going down swinging at least. Please don’t assume when I’d have been crying. It makes an ass out of you and me x

They’re down to ten men, keep 5 at the back, sound. What a shithead Eustace is.

5 at back at home, in a must win 😫.

Gestede was literally just there shadowing Waggott, he’s looking to go into boardroom stuff in the future.

Wasn’t intended that way, or just aimed at you, probably looks that way with quoting you, but I’m not a multi quoter! Thing is, even if we did ask that, he’d just say ‘because they want to be and they’re fully committed to the club’. Only person who can answer these questions (Mr Pasha) has never been in any FF meeting I’ve attended.
