Row A in the East Stand, right one the halfway line. It can get pretty wet in the winter months if the wind and rain combine in the right way.
I'd say 90% of the time its absolutely fine. Plus when its miserable on a Tuesday night and you're getting soaked there is usually a free seat up towards the back where its dry.

Might be controversial, but I'd let Martins contract expire in Jan. We don't look half as good with him in the side compared to Marquis.
I'd be looking to bring in a striker who can lead the press like Marquis does, and of course knows where the net is!

Needless to say buzzing with that one, loved that a load of the home fans left after the sending off, even more when Evans got the second.
Bolton looked a lot like us at the start of the season, lots of possession but no cutting edge.
Pragmatism with playing on the counter, very impressed with the performance. Especially Marquis who lead the line excellently

On. Head. Whilst we were bashing Barton, his biggest lover were throwing horrific abuse at other Rovers fans. I gave as good as I got, but there were many who were pushed off the forum by the bully-boys; the very same ones now running round screaming "la la la I'm not listening" or "he's gone - move on". No apologies from the bully boys or acknowledgment he's utter filth like we explicitly (and correctly) pointed out at the time. So no. We will not go quietly. We will hold you to account for holding a scum back in such high regard. Humble pie. And my oh my it's delicious. Lets keep it clean, when they go low, we go high and all that!

I hope in years to come the secret files the mods have on all of use can be looked up, like the stasi ones in Berlin
I also hope they remove the bugging device from my phone cause the click of the recorder going on is really annoying! Yes Hugo I can hear your heavy breathing on the other end!

Just finished listening, came across well and very down to earth. Interesting his background in teaching coming in handy!
Really impressed with how he talks about the players taking responsibility for their performances and putting the work in, even if you're not scoring/assisting you have to contribute to the team in some way.
Feel like he's what we need after the boosterism of the JB era.

Not very often I will give Morgan any praise, but this question is spot on

Like most things with gender, the men and woman’s football is hardly comparable,personally I don’t enjoy enjoy watching the woman’s game 🙄💙 I don't enjoy watching golf

Ah gotcha, so Robbie Savage commentating on Europa League games makes your blood boil as he's never played at that level? Or is it just when its women? Its fair enough you can't take someone seriously that hasn't played at the level, but where we disagree I think is that the mens game is a higher 'level' than the womens game. Different for sure, but the Lionesses played (and won) a Euros final in a packed Wembley. I don't see why that is 'lesser' than when the men played. Here's evidence of the gulf. www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/a-dallas-fc-under-15-boys-squad-beat-the-u-s-womens-national-team-in-a-scrimmage/This one always get trotted out. It was 6 years ago and the women's game has come on leaps and bounds since then. Considering it's also gone from a standing start since it was banned for so long! You're also missing my point, I'm not saying England women's would beat the men (they wouldn't) what I'm saying is the women getting to the Euros final is no less an achievement than the men. Have to be a great team, final was better attended than the men, but they managed to win theirs.

I *know* its meant to match the original as closely as possible, but I'm not a fan of the yellow badge.
If the badge was black and the macron logo was yellow, I'd be first in line to buy this one!

Think you're missing the point of the quote, but seeing as we're down a rabbit hole, could you describe to me how a woman jockey would have no expertise compared to a male one? At least thats how I think you're comparing male and female pundits? A female ex jockey is perfectly qualified to provide expert analysis if she has been competing at the same level as the male jockeys, no problem with that whatsoever. I wouldn’t expect expert analysis to come from someone (male or female) who hasn’t competed at that level though. Using my other example. Do you think a female cricket ‘expert’ can give the viewer an insight in to what it is like facing a 100mph bouncer and provide a critique on a batsman’s technique in dealing with such deliveries when they’ve no experience of it themselves? For me it’s all about qualification to be an expert analyst not gender. I can’t take seriously someone who hasn’t competed at the same or similar level, it’s completely pointless. Presenting a programme or being a commentator is totally different - gender shouldn’t be a barrier. Ah gotcha, so Robbie Savage commentating on Europa League games makes your blood boil as he's never played at that level? Or is it just when its women?

Two words: Micheal Owen Also all this chat about women not being able to comment on the mens game reminds me of the Arrigo Sacchi quote "I never realised that in order to become a jockey you have to have been a horse first" Do you think someone who has never raced as a Jockey could provide expert analysis (not commentary) on Channel 4 Racing and explain how a jockey got his tactics wrong during a race or his technique jumping over a certain fence was wrong? Think you're missing the point of the quote, but seeing as we're down a rabbit hole, could you describe to me how a woman jockey would have no expertise compared to a male one? At least thats how I think you're comparing male and female pundits?

He’s a pundit. I wasn’t talking about pundits. Oddly specific, but meh. Really don't care enough to have the row

I prefer male commentators just because I think they’re better at it. But I guess you have to keep practicing to get better at anything and it’s not going to change so I suppose in time the female commentating will improve. I hope so because the majority of them do grate a bit.

That's the way to do it, issue free tickets for the test event after a game or in between if SAG dictate otherwise and use your own fans, bribe them with a free pasty or beer voucher in exchange for the time and trouble taken and bingo, Robert is your mothers brother.............. I am available for bribes

Blokes a cretin and I'm just relieved he's nothing to do with my club anymore.
I'd love to have seen what the Joey backers would have said about this pod if he was still in charge! Mental gymnastics to make team GB proud I expect.
I cite the "holocaust" comments as my evidence. People defending those comments 🙈
