Robbored wont care but Omadi-Holloway has scored his first goals for Oldham.  Two for Oldham and one own goal!  

Massive game versus Rochdale today, currently 2-3 down

Actually, I think most people won't care about this one.

But thanks.

Can someone let us know how we're playing please. Other than being 2-0 up of course 

Its hard, not being able to be at the game / stream / radio etc..Not much on Twitter

Cheers

They put them under General Sport I see. I didn't go hunting too far to be honest.  Perhaps we should have a Rovers part of the forum for threads like this 

It's all under a thread named, rather conveniently, "Bristol Rovers"

One way to tell a billionaire is, what do they own?

 

Central London property/multiple properties

Enormous Yachts

Helicopters

Fourth division football club

 

That sort of thing

 

He's got a very nice watch.

The Bristol Post told us so.

Just in case you've forgotten

Great result, and well done LJ for sorting the side at HT

Yes. Hopefully those who banged on about him showing that he can turn it around acknowledge the fact that he did.

We've not won a game he has been ref. We've had a few red cards too.

I was feeling pretty good about tonight, until i noticed the ref is James Linington...

Change in pre match routine for me today. 

I watched the Darling Buds On May on ITV 4 rather than Lovejoy on the Drama Channel. 

Thought it was time to rest Tinker and start with Pop. 

Perfick

8-0 imo

I best save it until I meet the Filipino Bristol Rovers fan club (why wouldn't there be one..?)then, just to be on the safe side.

I flipping (can I say that?) can't wait. First game in over 2 years for me. 

COYR

Been some great games against Reading in the past.

Would've been very different with Bryan on the pitch i feel. The wingbacks are a big part of our game and we missed that today.

We could look sharper, first touch not been greatest so far.

Tough game today. As with every away game I'd take a point.

COYR

I'd take a draw today.

Me too. Any point away from home is a good point.

Especially better if we get points at home..

That'll do. All about the result.

I'd take a point.

We'll give it a good go but I fear Wolves may be too strong.

Saying that, anything could happen.

I hope he didn't celebrate. Not as its his former team but just out of sheer embarrassment.

Anyway, get another one Sam. COYR

On the Brighton forum they describe as a nasty type of player who winds up the opposition.

Not sure we have that here.

Its what we need isn't it.

Seems strangr were discussing a deal with forest to extend gillets loan if when everyone is fit he is only on the bench. Thought we were going to sign players that are better than we already have, hence Barnett coming in and Taylor leaving.

Would have started gillet today.

Maybe at home. I'm sure Elliot is playing due to Bradford aerial threat. A squad should provide different options.

Not a massive cricket fan but being in Australia I really hope England can do better.

Just seen a City flag.

Former.

Bit petty isn't it?

I'd rather Pemberton genuinely believes it to be the best team to put out. He's in charge now.

There have been mixed views about SoD. It seems to be 50 - 50 on he should have been given more time v I'm glad he's gone.

At the same time there has been almost 100% criticism of Jon Lansdown / the board. I'm not a great fan of either but a lot of the criticism is, IMO, unfounded. Many people have said that SoD had to work under financial constraints which is true to a certain degree. However the board backed him to bring in a lot of players, either permanent signings or on loan, who should be good at league 1 level. The budget he was given was more than a lot of teams in this league - e.g Lee Johnson has a budget of approx 75p at Oldham.

The board also gave SoD plenty of time when other clubs would have panicked and sacked him much earlier. If he had to go, now is the time, as it gives a new manager time to look at the players before the January window

I find the fact that its 50/50 on SOD strange.

Most managers are sacked when there's a clear majority against them?

Something has happened. Perhaps he questioned Jon Lansdowns credentials when he refused to sanction a loan signing. Just guessing.
