Another Scott Taylor scenario panning out with Atkin? Without the local rivalry needle obviously.
Players have come and gone at dizzying rate in recent years - there are few we have had much chance to get very attached to. Or, sadly, whose departure has been hugely worrisome. Not since the likes of Michael Dobson or Josh Hodgson.
But, as the Tralfamadorians said to Billy Pilgrim, ‘ignore the awful times and concentrate on the good ones.’ Given our different perspectives (mine and thine, not mine and the Tralfamadorians), we inevitably assign subjective importance to different things. That’s where I think Irregular Hoops missed a little leap of empathy or imagination in his post, in that thinking about what might have been with Scott Taylor wouldn’t have been fun for Rovers fans so many of us won’t have much, and 7 years on there’s whole load more poop on top of it in the ignore pile. That was a long and inelegant sentence, but hopefully the gist is clear. There’ll be loads of stuff that you’ve forgotten or conditioned yourself to ignore, that i’ll treasure for many years to come. Makes it bearable, dunnit?
