They've amended the team on Twitter: Shame, De Bruyne and Salah aren`t in the amended line up.

Gordon starting, and on the subs bench too. Is he going to be substituted, then come straight back on? That should confuse Reading. And everybody else.

Can just imagine the chant, if we do actually manage to put the ball in the net. "We`ve scored a goal...we`ve scored a goal...how s**t must you be...we`ve scored a goal."

The following out of contract Hoole Gordon Gibbons Marquis Finley Jones Lawrence Sinclair and a option for another year for Chris Martin and Josh Grant not sure if I have missed anyone With the possible exception of Sinclair and Martin, I wouldn`t be unhappy to see them all gone. If we can`t replace them with better, then we won`t finish next season any higher than we are now.

All those saying it was an improved performance, this was Boltons first away win in seven games! They`re not mutually exclusive facts. Our performance yesterday, improved from abysmal to competent.

Seeing its 9am in sunny Perth though i would get in early with thread. Best thing about clocks going forward in UK is that i get to watch game at 10pm instead of 11pm. My prediction on current form with Gas unable to score goals but playing at the Mem is 1-1, but on the other hand it could be a drubbing from an in-form Bolton. Really hoping Ward gets a full game in today as gas tick when he's on song. Stoney UTG I never realised Scotland was so far in front of us and sunny! 🤯 You know perfectly well he meant Perth, Australia. You`re just pretending for comic effect.

My overriding emotion both yesterday and today is one of extreme annoyance. That was how I felt after the defeat to Derby . The game was always likely to be a struggle, but the way we presented them with the ball on the few occasions when we did have possession, was hard to take. We made it so easy for them.

I still can’t believe how crap and disinterested we were yesterday. I’m not going on Monday, I’m not watching on iFollow or listening to the radio, if they can’t be bothered then neither can I! This is something I’ve never done before even in the dark days of the conference. We’ve got our Rovers back 👀🤪 Had to work yesterday, so haven`t even seen the highlights of the game, but doubt that we were disinterested. Uninterested possibly.

Knowing me,Knowing you aha!! Knowing me, Knowing you was by ABBA I think, Clockendgas was quoting from the lyrics of the song, rather than labouring under the misapprehension that Aha sang it.

Mr No? Is he related to Dr. No? The sinister head of Spectre, in the James Bond film of the same name.

I’m hoping ward can come in for Finley. Can’t have Finley just booting the ball anywhere in midfield. Agreed. It was always likely to be a difficult game on Sat. Finley donating the ball to them at regular intervals, made it next to impossible.

Got to say it was very funny watching two tribes of Joe Hawkins wanna be's doing the hokey-kokey from either side of the sheet, seeing them becoming brave and gingerly pushing aside the hessian fabric, and then seeing the enormous sense of relief on there faces as the referee blew the half-time whistle, meaning they could scuttle away out onto to the concourse with their honour intact for a much needed vape and the thought of thank **** that's over. hahaha. Joe Hawkins...that's a blast from a very distant past! Great books. Certainly preferred reading them, to Middlemarch or The Canterbury Tales.

On paper and in reality Derby were going to be the better side and they were, but we really did not help ourselves out there. Lack of care of the ball in possession, too many times we gave it away cheap, some inexplicable hopeful long balls but also some really careless passes or choice of passes. Gift after gift to a Derby side who were already going to be a big enough challenge. Absolutely. That`s what annoyed me so much. So many self inflicted wounds. Was Finley sponsored to give the ball away?

Speaking as someone who has stood both on the Tote End as someone of school age and the Popular Side at Twerton, we used to do chants where people took it in turns to chant ‘Celtic’ and ‘Rangers’ during a game, the numbers were pretty equal. Similar a lot of us used to wear ski hats when they were fashionable which consisted of 2/3rds of a Rovers badge and one panel of a big team. Again most had one of the Old Firm or Liverpool / Man U / West Ham / Chelsea and there was no animosity. This was the times when people used to sell ‘Bulldog’ or ‘National Front News’ on the way to the ground. What I am trying to say is that Rovers have NEVER been a sectarian club, which why a load of kids singing about a time they know nothing about sticks in my craw so much. When there were so many good old Tote / Twerton songs to fall back on that never get an airing, the regular use of this one should be banned on the grounds of decency. Singing, "f**k the IRA", should be banned on the grounds of decency? FFS.

Perhaps mix it up a bit swap IRA with Hamas Taliban Isis maybe. Probably best not to sing anything negative about Hamas. We`d never get on the BBC again.

We should also ditch wind up merchants from OTIB coming on starting threads! Don't be so bloody gullible! Well, quite. Check out the forum name of the person who started the thread. A lot of people have been done up by one.

Still a load of belters dishing out unnecessary hate on Jevani Brown tonight then. Meanwhile Aaron Collins gets off scot free for not giving a toss about the game, again. Funny that… Collins didn`t have much impact on the game, but wouldn`t say that he didn`t give a toss. He spent most of the game trying to help out our hopeless midfield, and the last 20 minutes trying to create something from out on the left. Don`t think that anybody hates Brown; just wish that he`d put in more effort.
