Posted already on the big thread. No need for another one.

Scans well though I must admit.

ok thanks

Sorry if I've missed it but didn't hear Hamer use 'The Crazy Gang' line in the interview.

Anyone got a link please?

Earlier today I thought they were calling UWE bluff.  UWE obviously did not see this coming.  Thought it was a smart move actually.  But now, fingers crossed, they may have bigger, bigger issues and the whole deck of cards may come tumbling down and quickly.

Oh dear, what a pity, never mind.

I think all you can really do is compare yourself with teams you play against. I'm pretty honest about Rovers, sometimes- and in very recent history- we have been a really, really bad side to watch. However, in the past 3 years or so we have been a  really good side to watch. I would say any neutral coming along to see us in the past couple of seasons would enjoy watching us. Football- like most things- goes in cycles though, and things can change very quickly.

Well babber. A few City mates of mine have been up to the Memorial Stadium over the last couple of seasons on free booze corporate events, and have reported back that the standard is shocking.

Maybe I'll have to get some jabs and see for myself?

However, as you say, things can change very quickly, last season at one stage could have turned out to have gone horrendously wrong.

But, over 6000 days later, you are still in our shadow. That is very slow change, and may it long continue.

Up The City

Just a gentle reminder.

It is now 6,102 days and 66 minutes, precisely, since The Gash were above us in the football league.

I thank you.

Happy Colin Daniel day everyone.

So a link that shows us as 9th and 15th over the last 6 and 10 games respectively is now "17th". Eh?

Looks like 9th after the last 6 games or 15th after the last 10 games to me.

Or doesn't goal difference count (rhetorical question obviously as its as good as a point).

The only table that counts is the one at the end of the season.

Sag heads know that only too well. Fingers crossed (only 5 of them though) that we stay up.

Agree that Rovers have probably hit a glass ceiling now. Top half league 1 is just about their limit. If Norwich want dopey theyll get him.

Don't count your chickens. They've got a relatively easy run in. Could easily attain another 20 odd points and get promoted via the play offs. 

Can we buy some more of their players to stop this happening? 

 

I just hope he doesn't start Abraham up front on his own.

I found this on page 3!!! Show us some respect please!

I'll show you some respect gashead.

You've got an absolute craphole of a stadium. In fact, you can't even call it a stadium.

No new modern stadium on the way soon, if at all.

No money coming from your minted camel jockey owners.

No decent players bought through various transfer Windows.

Poor training facilities.

Constantly messed about by your board/owners.

Do you have any sort of academy set up close to ours?

Half the number of paying fans.

Even your 'supporters' club have their hand in the till!

Sold your star striker to your local rivals.

Even non-league a couple of seasons ago, how laughable.

That's the positives!

But for all that, you have a team playing semi decent football and holding their own in the league below us - at the present time - after successive promotions, how good is that.

Your fans have generally stuck with you. Your players seem to have some team spirit and play for each other and - most importantly - the manager.

Without any significant spending you are competing in your division.

For that, I show you, your - sensible - fellow fans, and your club, respect.

Jeez, that hurt. 

Now sod off, play rubbish, always be in our shadow, and God forbid don't make the play-offs and get promoted. Otherwise we most likely won't have that local derby next season. 

Has it really come to this?!

Up The City

ps not page 3 now, but from mammary sorry memory, there's not a lot wrong with page 3

 

 

 

 

Here we go. COYR

Johnson the master tactician to the rescue!

4-4-2 at last. But away from home, at Derby...not sure.

Poor Magnusson, he's been one of our best and doesn't even make the bench, terrible decision.

I hope we don't resort to lumping it forward from the back, because without Wilbs or Milan to hold it up or win the headers the ball will keep coming straight back at us.

Fingers crossed that at the end of the game that we're singing.....'You do know what you're doing'.

Well, not one to normally gloat, but here goes.

If Carlsberg made footballing weekends this was the one.

The six fingered, inbred, delusional, blue few lost in the cup -again- to a non-league side. Which is where they actually belong.

The Mighty Reds on the other hand won 2 nil at home in a great game that saw an absolutely cracking goal.

Add to that, that I bet £20 at 40-1 on City winning 2 nil with Lee Tomlin first scorer, well, happy days indeed!

Sometimes, it really is ' The beautiful game'.

Pass me another Cider.

 

 

No, just like an underdog.

Ah, me too. Mrs is from Crewe. Cheers babber.

Crewe have scored the winner.... lovely jubbly... heheheeeeee

Are you a Crewe fan as well as City?

Sell him or drop him. JET as others recently posted, is a liability. He's liable to spur us on to more victories and how can we have a good moan then? I'm surprised SOD hasn't tried stifling his performances by playing him out of position. Poor management indeed.

Why Tinnion??????? Should have been Scott Brown and Goodfellow for Wilks and Scoot.

Jeez!!!

Hello,Brian(you don't know what you're doing)Tinnion actually transformed the game with his skill and made Orr and Dinning-apart from others-better for it.

I questioned his tactical decisions with the substitutions,but didn't slag him off like a lot of people by singing out against him-shame on you.

Once we got going with Lita,Goodfellow(very impressive)and Tinnion on the field it was a different game.

It's not easy is it,managing,but Tins-again-deserves credit for sorting it out,I think he's a lot better than some people give him credit for.

IMHO unless the central midfield get's better quickly then Tins has to start,I know it's not ideal with the manager on the pitch but he transformed the game with his drive and skill when he came on.

Great thing hindsight as stated,also staying positive and not moaning at every opportunity.

No wonder some call this the borum,getting boring all the negativity from some people at times.
