You’ve got something there. Did anyone tell the new Rovers owner that we’re on Summer Time in the UK? It’s probably one of those gert Teds who confused him or, possibly, Wael’s cheap imitation Rolex watch was showing the wrong time

Chances going begging again

You need pace to be a good defender

It must definitely be the Teds fault - stole the fax machine, jammed the electricity meter so Rovers couldn’t put in any more coins, changed their clocks so that they thought it was an hour earlier than it was, hid their only pen so JCH couldn’t sign the forms, hacked the phone line so the fax went to Vladimir Putin etc

It would be nice to have more corporate boxes and in a completely new stadium it would be easy to design them in from the start. I can remember the suggestion to put boxes in the Dolman. This was before the ground was redeveloped and I sure it was an idea that was floated without any consideration of the practicality. In reality it would have been impractical as a large section of seats at the back would have been lost to incorporate the dining area of each box and food and drink facilities would somehow have to have been fitted in.

In the past SL has said that he likes a committee of one person - i.e. himself. So ignore the official structure of the board. The real board consists of SL

I feel that both Bell and Mehmeti have demonstrated that they’re not up to standard as the left attacking option. Both seem weak and lacking in end product. Consequently I’d play Hayden Roberts at left back and Cam Pring at left midfield. This would mean switching from 4-3-3 to 4-4-2 so I don’t think it will happen. Shame as Pring has pace, strength and can run at and beat defenders

This is a very dull response. Couldn’t you have said something along the lines that it was hacked by North Korea?

The problem when there is an outage like this is, when it comes back on line, there are always more answers to questions and more questions to answer. Is it better to have more questions than answers?

Is he the one on the left or the one on the right?

Mods - just a suggestion, could we have a new emoji such as this? I don't feel that the existing ones do justice to the above suggestion

From a psychological perspective, blaming others is more common in those who experience negative feelings and are unable to regulate their emotions. Based on Barton’s history of verbal and physical violence, he is definitely unable to regulate his emotions. He would make a wonderful case study Well, he’s only 32 so he’s got plenty of time to develop

The referee was poor and unfit and the pitch was too dry

His forte is saving a club that looks doomed to be relegated. The early season results are obvious part of his cunning plan - i.e. let the club sink to the bottom of the table then start a post Christmas revival with salvation on the last day of the season

3.5.2 would be interesting, but I can’t see it happening. City played with four at the back for half (?) of last season and pre-season so I don’t think NP is suddenly going to change the formation. The team is just beginning to gel with the current shape so why change it? I think we just need to be more clinical in front of goal. No cash to splash so NP’s got to tinker with what he’s got and wait till Conway’s fit

You’ve thrown out a challenge with the bin pic. Can you respond @Never to the dark side ?

Melton Mowbray (the home of wonderful pork pies) sounds like a rather upmarket sort of person. Far to upper class to play precessional football but, possibly, could play as an amateur got Corinthian Casuals

I went to the doctor and said “It hurts when I press here, here, and here. What's the problem?" He said "Your finger's broken."

Useful for what?

Bluff, double bluff or triple bluff?

Whenever I see the title of this thread I think it must be about a pop group / singer from the 70s: Bachman–Turner Overdrive Crosby, Stills & Nash Andy Fairweather Low Sheila B. Devotion Emerson, Lake, & Palmer. Taylor Gardner-Hickman etc

Many years ago Tranmere played all of their home matches on a Friday night. This was to avoid a clash with either Everton or Liverpool on the Saturday

I think the view that the Atyeo Stand design generates more noise is a myth. I can remember when home fans were in the Atyeo they complained that the design of the stand allowed the noise to escape!
