Marina's Rolls Royce

Are you spelling phanetically, phonetically? In order to cheer myself up, I just think of last season's swindle match. It puts a smile on my face every time. As does the resulting song.

Much as I remain positive about our team ( really I do) - at the moment I struggle to see anything other than another effortless 3 points in the bag for Ipswich. Just so long as we play with passion and heads don't drop like against Reading. Football's a funny old game- a few months ago I expected to win every game and now I expect to lose. Summer chickens roosting in Autumn home.

In a slightly different part of the country- Reading creamed Ipswich 5-1 last night. Bit of a surprising result and just goes to show how easily even a good team can be severely punished for defensive lapses. I think it could be a long old season ahead.

That was Fordy

Typical Fordy- coming up with the new name JoKo.

Well if you read what that other Spuski fella is saying on other threads then we'll be soundly beaten by an amazing and much better club, Cotts will resign at 5p.m. , any of our players who are remotely interested in having a future in football will hand in a transfer request and Lansdown will call in the administrators. I'm now too depressed to even bother going.

Mine's my season ticket.

Perhaps you missed the Swindon at home match? I loved beating the gas in the jpt particularly when one of our own scored but home v swindle after all that happened and all that was at stake? That was the best ever home atmosphere in a local derby for me. I'm gonna miss neither club whatever happens to them. There's always other rivalries who will take their place - like the one's who play in Red err blue and wear velcro gloves.

That twit's gotta go

Yep- fortunately the shares I bought in BCFC 20 yrs ago are now worth a fortune with no dilution at all.

Look fellow rover's fans- here's a picture of your Emperor's new stadium.

HIGGS- are you Tsipras in disguise? are you Tsipras in dis guise?

proper club, proper fans- hope they go up with us. Etc.

75 mins- surely time to bring on Jet ? Hang on

Swindon 2-0 up ( bookings)

Don't you just hate it when that happens?

Morrell just hit the bar with the goal at his mercy and Wes failed with the follow up. Bloody yoof.

Other than JB, he clearly thought along the same lines at the start of this season and things have turned out brilliantly. No cause for worry when the club's transfer dealings are really improving. That the Academy is failing to produce first teamers- it's more of a fact than anything. If there's no one currently good enough then SC has to use what is and hope he gets the players he needs over the next month or so.

Ah yes- I did miss the point. I thought there was one spare sub not two. Either way, as Cunningham, Elliott and Wagstaff have all been part of the first team then I can see why he wants to stick with them. It does indeed seem pointless ( and extra expense) to have a couple of yoof with no prospect of playing. SC is not trigger happy when it comes to substitutions often waiting til 89th minute.

Agard hat trick. Then see how it feels.

Perhaps but maybe it's just that SC is fiercely loyal to his first team squad and there's just not enough of a good reason ( for him) to send one of his players to watch from the stands. Steve will want to end the season with a couple more wins and knows how best to achieve that.

Anyone got any money on the National?

Yep- there's loads of Mohne's on here. Although let's hope at 5p.m no one's using the N word in confirmation of a breech.

If I did it would be a Trophy moment
