The trouble is that their gashead mate Bob who "works at the council" didn't work in the planning department. This is the off-pitch equivalent of being relgated to non-league. ???

I like the sound of this change personally I'd be on the lookout for a drop in Warnock's win percentage this season based purely on this! Obviously in a single season a bit hard to judge definitively as it could come down to Huddersfield being good/bad. He was pretty much the master of get in front then employ any tactic you can to time waste.

close! but you had a typo which i fixed. If i am being honest though, it looked less like "sand" and more like a pile of rubble and building waste on the recent photos.

I think the age/experience is somewhat irrelevant, e.g. Marinovic was 27(?) at the time he made 1 appearance for us, so you could argue he was "experienced" or an "old head". The problem was he looked so out of place you had to wonder if he had won a lottery to be a Championship goalkeeper for the day, ? A backup/older pro would need to be the right recruit, getting a keeper in now for the sake of "ticking that box" might be a waste of a wage - if we need a backup HWR or Bajic might be fine for 1-2 games - It is really hard to tell personally from the little we have seen of them so far . I Wonder if the coaching staff are trying to further assess during pre-season this before sanctioning a move for someone. Right now (in pre-season) there is no urgent need, so we might be still trying to find our man.

? Is this the online version of being "locked out" ?

Also watch Wiemann (or was it Knight?) make the space for Conway's run - very deliberate, even pointing to Roberts where the pass needed to go.

IMO showing "ambition" could also be attributed to selling one (admittedly very good) player and strengthening the squad in several positions - it is a gamble to do this, in that we lose a great player, but it is also making the most of the opportunity to do it on our own terms.

This thread has descended into electricity jokes - things really are in terminal decline

??? - Looks that way I assume Newcastle World is the equivalent of our local rag EDIT: Just to be clear there is no such article on the Telegraph website if you search - the last Alex Scott article say that Wolves will come back with an improved offer (on £18M I think)

Thoughts? A "game of chicken" sounds like they incorrectly assume we are desperate for the cash - Right at the moment FFP is a bigger issue for them than us. While selling Scott at the price we have quoted will stave off FFP worries for a few seasons (assuming we don't revert to Ashton/Johnson-ball) - it is not a be-all and end-all for our summer. Do they expect us to lower our demand just because they are in the premier league or something?

Contestants have to scramble up the dirt pile, slalom through the scaffolding poles, and hop over the JCB bucket; Then it is on to the tented section, once through there they will splash through the pond of fake fanta before the final, terrifying, leap over "Sanata's groto".

If they cant build a stand maybe they would like to "go green" and plant a new hedgerow there - complete with these

I guess other people extrapolated being down in a friendly to torquay in 2mins over the course of a 46 game season to conclude we'd finish on 0 pts. Though i am sure many of the responses were tongue in cheek!!

I looked into this 40K myth a while back Basiaclly we know these facts Attendance was 47,029 Between one week and 4 days before teh match TWO seperate sources (including their own website) had said the gas had sold around 24-25K We also know from the report on the Grimsby local paper that Grimsby Town had sold at least 10K So clearly the rovers portion of the attendance was NOT 40K and in reality was probably below 35K

Clearly Vardy is past his best years, but I suspect he will be more than decent in the championship (assuming he stays with Leicester or moves to another Championship club) I suspect wages would be an issue for us even if he lowered his current demands - I'd also imagine there are some at our club (and some fans) that don't want the complete circus this would bring.

Surely that is the old "no row M" bus shelter being torn down? If it is that is the new stand it is utterly laughable

From one of the objections: Asking the gas for facts/evidence is akin to asking them where the soap is kept. It will be greeted by a vacant gormless stare

My recollection may be wrong - but I think that Brentford SOLD Watkins for £20m+ and then used that money to buy Toney - They then went up in Toney's first season? The model used by Brentford is exactly what several people are advocating for in selling Scott this summer.

If he is staying, or there is a good chance he will stay, then yes, I'd expect he will be there with the rest of the squad. I'd assume however, if he is leaving, and has already communicated that to Pearson and the coaching team, then he may have been told "you do not need to come in". Maybe even he has been told "please do not come in". Possibly with a time given to come and say goodbyes to colleagues. While I think he is probably an excellent professional, and I'd highly doubt he'd be disruptive. There would not seem like a lot of point of having him around in pre-season to measure fitness just until his contract expires on Friday - It is hardly like the club are going to get their "money's worth" by keeping him there just for this week.

UTFG = Unbelievable twerps fronting gas

Fees? I seem to recall the normal price they pay for a transfer is "free" Obviously free players in June/July are more expensive than free players in August.

For a player that wants to "progress" as we assume Alex Scott does, are those teams really going to be attractive? In his position I'd be very hesitant about the blades, and actively avoid Luton. Possibly he'd consider Burnley? - Famous, well known manager, ripped up the championship last season, and with the right signings they could be another Brighton/Brentford and build for a few seasons. When the time comes (maybe later this summer) surely he'd have better offers?

On readiung this, the hierarchy at rovers will be adding it to their list of places they can "squat on and then nick"
