Sick of Rovers finding a new way to become a laughing stock every season. Think Elliot Jackson is the best rovers correspondent we’ve had and have never heard/read him say anything that wasn’t fair comment.

What was this tweet and what on earth are the club thinking? Can’t we just be a normal club?!

Very true! Can’t have kids standing for 5 lessons a day so maybe those old school slanted ones need a comeback. Wouldn’t say that’s fair to direct at the reading with a ruler method specifically though.

But wouldn’t writing have the same problem?

Genuine question, how do you know it’s bad for children’s posture? I have reservations about it but not heard that one

Cheers Al, it seemed a bit acrimonious at the time hardly a touching send off

Did we ever get an explanation of the circumstances of Waggot leaving?

Blatant red, no room for that in the modern game

So no evidence then

Are you just harmfully speculating that or do you have any evidence? Genuine question

Which is fair rule and should be legitimized I say! Only in our favor ofc

Cheers, my words exactly. Not a great performance but did feel like a kick in the teeth when we had one not given just before that looked stonewall to me.

What happened with that penalty?

15.03.2025 18:14 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 1    πŸ“Œ 0

Shocking second half. Had the momentum going into half time and then 5 minutes of pressure then nothing isn’t good enough against a team that crap. Bye bye playoffs. #rovers

Best atmosphere all season killed in 10 mins but I still believe, been battering them

You don’t think the President of the United States threatening a world leader isn’t front page news? You just want the bad news to go away

Missed that! Fair play it was just surreal once I recognized it

Watched the Gabby Petito Netflix documentary which ended by playing the Toast of London theme tune?

Don’t blame him for trying of course, but he can’t use that as a reasonable excuse for snaking us

Bit cheeky to ask a new contract less than a year into the one he started with and considering his December/January form.

David Lowe getting Forshaw to score a belter like that on top of a decent performance midweek, new Alex Ferguson?

Yeah but performative vindictiveness is part of the fun of being a fan isn’t it

And did he not know that when he took the job? Just because we’re badly run doesn’t mean our club can be treated with such utter disrespect.

@reluctantnicko.bsky.social does your delay on the shortlist suggest some chaos behind the scenes?

11.02.2025 20:15 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 1

Yeah the statement does not really leave any way back, would be total humiliation for him to stay but that’s on him really.

11.02.2025 08:17 β€” πŸ‘ 0    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 0    πŸ“Œ 0

Yeah although I’ll be pleasantly surprised if he was wrong in thinking they were not ready for first team championship
