I've always known they're completely tinpot but went to see The Who on Thursday, first time I've ever been anywhere other than straight in and out of the old away end (that I can remember...) and honestly I'm now thankful it was so far from the rest of the ground and exposed to the elements. The east stand bar was nothing short of distinctly soviet. The barmaids, akin to something recently spewed from Hades itself, started on a group of lads in front of me and the lone security guard hoofed it straight out the door, soon followed by myself and everyone else in there just trying to get a drink.

I believe the bar staff are all contractors, they are inept though, tbh you should feel sorry for us as we have to put up with them every other week haha. Youve only had to suffer once.
Assume they'll pip us anyway. Mikey Lewis will have an absolute stormer when he should be banned. I'm already bitter about it.

I watch Rovers most weeks and no hooker has any joy as a running threat against them because they are so good at getting numbers in the tackle, it's always a 3 or even 4 man tackle when defending in yardage. Hopefully Dwyer shows some composure and doesn't waste a tackle by scooting when its not on.

Dwyer doesn't know the meaning of the word composure unfortunately.

Despite what Mrs B suggests FC surely should be favorites

Sure, find me some professional bookmakers who agree with you, otherwise you look like a cringing Rovers apologist.

it would be a kick in the teeth for Cam Scott if he is dropped.
Lovodua surely cant be in the team so likely Lane will start.
Certainly an interesting selection to come from Smith.
Still expect Shaul to be in the 17

Scott was good last week and should 100% keep his place

Carlos time to get rid on good money and better centres out their

Need to stop the sentiment with some players

Quite rightly so.

Very bizarre Rovers selecting 4 players from their 21 man squad to play for the reserves today

Re: Craven Park Derby : Sat Jul 08, 2023 1:58 pm  

Reserves up 22-6 at half time.
