Was all Kendalls fault apparently.

Absolutely!!! If Kendall gives that 50/50 call for the 'block' on Tyrone May, then rovers would have gone on to win by thirty!! No, honest they would, really!!!!

Rovers obviously had no chance to recover from such an injustice like that 50/50 call going against them, what other team on Earth could ever recover from such a setback? I honestly thought Jon Wilkin was going to burst into tears when discussing it at half-time

Ah well, at least I can now sit at Wembley in peace and watch the game as a relaxed neutral

I'll admit I was someone who thought rovers would go one (final) step further than they did in 2023, but they were simply blown away by a far superior side this afternoon, rovers not even at the races, never seriously in contention from the start

That is their best chance of ending the trophy drought gone in an instant. Unless they finish in the top two their chances of making Old Trafford will diminish greatly. They need to address their away days blues and quick or they will end up empty handed yet again for the umpteenth year (and counting!!).

Hey Suns out .... Rovers out

Re: TV Games - Not Hull : Sat May 18, 2024 4:53 pm  

Rovers get the majority of calls when they play at home, for whatever reason. It's been seen the last couple of weeks that without them getting constant penalties or set restarts they actually struggle to make decent metres, and neither Lewis or certainly May have a good enough kicking game to get them out of trouble and turn the tide.
The media have given them far too much hype and their fans, and to a degree probably their players, have been sucked in by it.

I only saw the last 20 mins or so but really surprised by the scoreline as was convinced Rovers would win the trophy this year. Now of course to "go one better" than last year they need to win the Grand Final, odds are 10/1 so idk.

I feel sorry for the rovers fans under 50 who either weren't alive whe they last won anything or were too young to really remember it.

Get their grandparents to dust off the betamax.

A long time between drinks for sure.

There have been seven Presidents of the United States and nine UK Prime Ministers since Rovers last won a major trophy (although to be fair there's been four PMs since we last won one).

Good idea although you'd obviously have those black strips down the sides, assuming they still work
