Frenchay Red

So where's the red card?

Watching on the Web stream it looks like all our new players will need a few games to gel and show what they can add to the team. On the other hand Burns has played well.

I heard on the news that Sainsburys have replaced Asda for second place as the most successful supermarket. Rovers' fans' campaign going well then.

Unless you are a banker, or Dopey. But then Dopey is a bit of a banker. At least I think that's what some of our lot have been chanting.

On the front of the train hurtling towards them?

Most of them seem to be rather dense. I heard one muppet on the radio this a.m. suggest that the judge should have reached a decision based on common sense and not just a point of law. Priceless!

I suspect it will a legal and financial compromise. If there was a clear breach of contract by either party I can't imagine it would have taken so long to arrive at a judgement. So no winners and no losers IMO. Though financially it will almost certainly hurt the ex non league team.

Only gossip, but the wife of a friend works in the offices at the UWE, heard that the powers that be are no longer interested in the Rovers relocating there. In fact it's fairly common knowledge there that they want an end to this asap. They want to develop the site for educational use, not footie.

Is it a bus? Donkey & cart would be more appropriate. (can't risk a horse!)

At least they now have a pot to p1ss in

A draw at Swindon tomorrow would be very helpful I think.

Not today, he's injured.

Anyone else think that the sound system was very poor? I had difficulty in understanding the announcements.

And I was there to see it. My distant recollection, FWIW, is that we eased off a bit after the 11th

The trouble is he is nothing like the player we saw last year. If his tricks don't work then he has very little to offer, ok, maybe a few nice layoffs, but we need much more than that from him. Also he seems to have lost his shooting boots, his efforts today were almost embarrassing. He was too much of a passenger today, unfortunately.

JET was poor today. Contributed very little to the game. Cunningham is now so far behind Joe B that I can't see him ever keeping Joe out of the team and Williams is so much more accomplished with Joe in front of him. Pack has done ok, but it shows how much we miss the combination of Korey Smith and Wade Elliot. The midfield today seemed very slow to get things moving. They offered very little, though Fielding had to make a couple of good saves, as did their keeper. We pinged the ball in to the box repeatedly without anyone getting a good final touch. Never mind when we knock out a prem team in the next round this will be forgotten

Took me a while to find a decent stream, so just missed the early goals. Saw the rest and we were very impressive and pretty much in control for the whole game. Excellent performance and result.

Not sure, I left a couple of minutes early, to beat the "escort" ;-)

You may well have a united side and probably today you deserved a narrow win. But what is embarrassing is a grand total of 4,yes just 4 porta-loos in the open end. How ridiculous is that!

Here's his post match interview without the "crap"

With those 4 at the back and Elliot, Gillett, Pearson and Wagstaff in midfield, we look to have a strong line up to face STFC.

Brilliant, couldn't cope with listening to RB second half, much too stressful!! Sounds as though we fought for everything. As though it really meant something to the team. That's what we've wanted for a very long time. If this is what SC has brought to the club then he's the first since GJ to put some pride into our performances. Well done to all, (apart from the early departure!)

Just been reading their forum, obviously not a happy bunch, "well beaten by a bottom 4 team" was one comment I particularly liked. Great result.

Probably water-logged, but Plainmoor is quite high up!

I just voted yes in the "will we go down thread" and we equalise! Any other pessimistic threads I can contribute to so we can score again? :-)
