You must be a little sad going back over my posts seeing what I have posted , either that or you have a great memory .

seriously though we now live in a world where anything which is slightly controversial ( slightly ) there are people who will jump on it and be offended for the so say offended . Nowadays you don’t seem to be able to have al opinion if it’s different to others you very quickly get labelled.   It was said tongue in cheek 

You are the only person who has brought up being offended 

Naismith and Dickie seem to think defending is just sticking their arms in the air

why are we so uncapable of holding onto a lead...?!

He didn’t play every week not even close! He sits on the bench at Burnley in league cup ties as that was his best offer

I really would like to see him do well where ever he goes, but I’m glad he is somewhere else! 

He had a contract offer here right? When he was committed, he was a decent player and would have played 20+ games this season. 

I'd play him ahead of Williams. 

More than a little depressing that he'd rather sit on the bench for Burnley (for a league cup match, not even league), rather than play for us every week

Where did they get their goalkeeper from? He's making Marinovic look competent 

Sykesy get the f in!!!

I’m in the Southgate out camp and have been for some time 

Before or after the euro final? I remember clearly the utter crushing disappointment of 2002, 2006, 2008.... we had quality players in those years too and did nothing. Southgate has given us a few knockout wins - that already puts him far ahead of every manager we've had since Ramsey and Robson. 

The talk of Guardiola is interesting of course. But if we did try that with Capello and didn't win anything. 

Henderson shouldn't be anywhere near the team now though. For footballing reasons and moral ones

Think you have to get Maddison in there the way he's started the season for either Foden or Grealish. 

I'm a big Grealish fan but think Foden has started the season better so would start with him left, Saka right and Maddison in the midfield 3. Playing Maddison, Bellingham, Saka and Foden allows Kane to drop deeper if he wants as well because all 4 of those can get in behind him. Ramsdale is still behind Pickford for me at the moment too.

Hope Stones stays fit and Colwill really kicks on this year as our potential 11 for the Euro's could be fantastic, sadly we'll end up with a midfield 3 of Rice, Phillips and Henderson though...

No way will Southgate leave Bellingham out. Phillips has barely played and Henderson has already basically retired. I hope he goes with Alexander-Arnold in midfield. Along with Rice that would be an exciting midfield trio

With potentially the strongest selection of players we’ve ever had. He has by no means been ‘successful’. 

The team 2002-2006 was at least as good and definitely less successful.

Pring been off his game today in terms of giving the ball away cheapily

He's put himself around a lot tho and made some key tackles 

Great chance. Slightly overhit pass from wells 

Didn't look like Weimann was too injured?

A lot of people are really underestimating the ability of Rovers to get things done. It took less than 6 months of detailed planning & project management from the directors and the entire management team to come up with this beauty, so surely the new stand is in good hands???

The budget office whiteboard with wonky blue and white quarters is my favourite. Or the grotty stains on the floor. 

It kind of like we will be getting more football - so sounds good to me!

Agree with the others above about replays. I quite like the stress of extra time and penalties. 

The other points are rubbish, including the thinly disguised bribe at the end. 

The sooner the 'big 6' to to their super league, the better imho.

Another raisin to laugh at them...

If Kalas' contract has expired and he hasn't reported back for training, is he still getting paid?

From that link.....

"Bristol ****** join an illustrious list of stadiums that operate using an Axess and Ticketmaster partnership, with the Hard Rock Stadium, Miami – home of the Dolphins – and Miami F1 Grand Prix in the US being a flagship client. 

Rovers will be hoping that it can deliver an NFL matchday experience level to its own fans next season. "

 

Not like them to liken themselves to something way out of their league. Having said that I hope the day never comes when we aspire to be like the NFL!

I'm guessing Axess and Ticketmaster might not be adding the gas to their promotional literature

I have no issue with 9 subs being named but I do wish it would go back to only 3 subs allowed during the game 

Agree. 

Maybe additional subs allowed in case of injury, if the 3 subs have already been used?

West ham had the same option a couple of years ago, when they were also sponsored by a betting company
