Well they said they got a fair price, and more than Taylor. Seeing as well as Wael insinuated we had over paid for Taylor "could have had him free on the summer" then I would guess that they would consider £400,000 odd rumoured as fair. The wander off they will see it doesn't on players or if those monthly installments will be eaten up by their day to day cash flow.

Would love to see that removed with a note explaining not to post libelous content when SL lawyers have a word

They just don't like the truth. Taylor was going to leave them, he was out of contract but out of some weird loyalty to the club signed a new contract with a release clause so that Rovers would get some money from him leaving. The Gas forums and twitter all mentioned his contract and a few times those ITK said about the 300,000 release fee - so the only people to blame for that being in the public domain are the Rovers fans. As for the last day, that was their fault as well, we approached them, they said they would get back to us, some time later rejected the offer. They then had to be reminded that if the release clause was met that they had to inform the player - yes, Rovers did not understand how release clauses work, and had rejected our offer without informing Taylor because they did not want to lose him - they really are tinpot. Anyway the lateness of his departure would not have happened if Rovers were actually on the ball.

Well it is Rovers biggest game of the season what do you expect.

They just don;t get it. It's like their hero Windass, they think one goal somehow cancels out the amazing season we had, that somehow all the memories, expectations, hope somehow just vanish because of one game. Man blues could put 10 past us, but would I rather have our season or Rovers ? Am I happy - yes, hopeful - yes, having great fun - yes, watching some great football - yes. A drubbing won't change that, our poor deluded gas rivals, competition, fools.

Father plays with Police Horse reminding his son that you are never to old to have fun. Manager terrifies crowd after intentionally crushing the ribs of match ball boy.

They are 14th in the table 5 points clear of relegation zone and 9 points out of the playoffs - in a really bad league. Not sure why people think they will be relegated. They will likely bring in a few faces like the last few years and just keep bumbling along.

I know we laugh at them but that thread does have a number of decent posters who have their heads screwed on about both clubs.

Just a minute.............. ok Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you ok there ? Altogether now, um alright NEVER FELT MORE LIKE SINGING THE BLUES..... ah good, a nice sing along always helps All the Teds having meltdowns. um really ? Been on OTIB and facebook, seems most of us accepted this was coming, pretty much understand the pressure the team are under, forums seem very laid back about it all Still enjoying the Man Utd win are you? Will probably cost you promotion to the Premier League too. Then it will be worth it won't it you clowns?! We'll all be laughing very hard then and you know it! Deluded Sheeds. Yup, amazing match, great night out thank you. Not sure one cup game will costs us getting into the Premier league, but thanks for your concern. Did you not learn from your mega relegation party thread how your "gas crystal ball" is really ******* shitty quality, were talking Bristol Rovers Hospitality gift level shit. Hang on a minute there is something blocking my toilet.....Oh it's ok, just a load of Teds egos. Villa just pulling the flush now. ego's ? how's your away support ? Any of you willing to admit the real numbers our you all hanging onto that last lie because you have nothing else.... 2-1 win for Rovers too today. Another dream that came right. Congratulations, win another 3 and you will match your games lost... good show. What an amazing start to 2018. UTFG Captains log day one, all is well and obviously will remain this way.

I have no idea what I just saw but that was not just tiredness. Really disappointing especially when after a poor 2nd half going 2 down it looked like we might be back in the game. First 10 minutes of the second half we should have been level at 2-2 but our players blocked our own efforts. Even then we seemed to have a goal or two in us, but it just fizzled out into complete capitulation, even worse than the first half - we just looked like we could not even do the most basic of things right. I guess Woodrow is also just on the bench so we don't have a empty space. Oh well - 5 losses all season, just a shame 2 of them came over the same weekend, and on the back of the Wolves game where we should have got something and tonight playing a Villa team that had won just 1 in 6. Rest up, bring in a couple of fresh legs and let's start again. This is still one of the best seasons we have had for a while, and let's just hope we can put these blips behind us.

5-0 total joke

Flint back in defence now

FFS this is a joke

FFs there player runs from thier box into ours, lays it off and they score FFS

corner - we look a lot better this half, have goals in us

could be already if our players did not keep blocking each other - we should already be back in this game.

Villa free kick just outside the box........ please break the recent spell.................

open net but Taylor blocked Flint - really poor...

should have scored there - really good couple of opportunities in that move,

Wright, he is nowhere near him though giving him loads of space. Adomah is being fed from midfield and their left back with no one seemingly able/willing to stop the supply, or put him under pressure when he gets it. Patterson naive for twice being dispossessed dribbling across his own back 4 I don;t understand why he does it, he could of passed it and let someone clear it both times.

We are looking pretty poor, midfield is missing so playing long balls upto... well Bobby. Adomah is just stood on the side line unmarked receiving easy balls and then putting in some good crosses. When we do have possession we pass straight to a Villa player even when under no pressure. We are just being passed around with little effort, to be honest Villa are making this look very easy. Hopefully a better 2nd half, but you look at our bench and just wonder what we can do at the moment to change up. Anyway, lets hope we come out fighting, we know we can pull games back, just hope this is one of them.

we look really poor, first 5 minutes we pass it around but since then we have hardly had the ball, the few times we do it's ping pong in the air or passes straight to Villa under no pressure. Villa all over us, this is a tired looking team.

pointless challenge and booking for Baker there as well,

several passes under no pressure straight to a Villa player, we are looking a bit sloppy and putting ourselves under pressure

where was our midfield - such a soft goal to concede
