Well Bristol Rovers certainly haven't made a habit of it.

"The fan base is massive"

I'm assuming he means it as in overweight. Because he can't mean their numbers.

Todays consolation 

Understand recycling possession but very frustrating going from 15 yards in their half and passing back to Bentley. 

Ikpeazu was very good for Boro today.

Out of interest, which way was it?

We had been all over them since the equaliser.

One way traffic

Bollocks 

I'd love to be a fly on the wall when Warnock goes over the equaliser in training.

Palmer should hit the target there.

Wells on

Bentley was screaming at Vyner after that cross for the free header. Then Weimann and Martin arguing.

Boro comms calling Scott a diver.

Been under pressure for a few minutes.

Palmer ushers the ball out for a Boro goal kick.

Arnie Garita up top for them

Made me search to see what happened with him.

Signed for a Belgian top division side, on loan to French third tier.

There is of course the argument that as the number of SOD and Cotts players left, we got poorer.  I kinda see it a bit like Marty McFly’s photo in back to the future, that with every event that differs from the real one a bit more of the photo disappears.

Johnson did some good things, between him and Ashton they generally recruited poorly, wasting millions in the process.

He wasn’t shit, nor was he managerial genius either.  If he was he wouldn’t be in Lg1 now.

He certainly wasn't either, and would never suggest such.

He did a decent job overall but ultimately failed.

Er, in his first full season here he took us to the semi-finals of the tournament we just were dumped out of by a 4th tier club.  Not sure we ever lost a competitive match to a 4th Tier club under LJ?

None of the positives under Johnson are allowed to be recalled. That was his second full season though.

His first full season we merely got to the Quarter Finals.

Plus his squad that was top half and fighting for the playoffs is automatically shit because he signed them, and he's shit for only fighting to get in the playoffs with shit players- and that last sentence definitely makes sense, there's definitely no implication that either the players weren't shit or that Johnson wasn't shit for that result to happen.

(And yes there are absolutely valid criticisms of Johnson that have been made multiple times over, but this new rewriting of history where everything he touches is automatically shit is bizarre. As is the, thankfully small grouped, mentality of some to wish whatever club he manages will fail)

Being disgruntled, going 1-0 down to a 4th tier side, is not throwing toys out of the pram, it’s a natural expression of disappointment.

well we arent 1-0 down now, perhaps let's wait until at least half time next time.

Red card and lost to a 96th minute penalty.

Maybe the ref thought Mansfield were in the Rovers away kit again.

Didn’t watch the game so can only hope those who were there can tell of a much improved team who just couldn’t hang on?

Streets better than the end of last season.

Blackpool goal had been coming but we had deserved the win, frustrating to throw it away so late.

S*gs down to 10

Straight red and 3 bookings since then.

Tempers rising?

(Allegedly)Learning from their manager maybe. 

Great defending there Baker.

That'll do for the season 

Superb cross, great header.

Argh, steam froze and missed the goal.

WRDC winning. Boo.

Not any more.

Mansfield winning against Rovers.

Wonder whose kit they're in this time.

Atkinson probably should have scored then.
