Is this a statement of displeasure toward Wrexham or a player transfer

I'll be buying a lottery ticket tonight then.
$100 million here in Australia
what Australian link is it? There is no link. Paramount aren't showing the game.
I was talking about buying a lottery ticket.
Radio silence for the game here. I can't find it on BBC sounds either.
Got to go to work in five minutes anyhow.

Loads of the links showing Blackpool game but not ours 🤮 It’s incredible how you can watch every one of our league games online with very little effort but you have more chance of winning the lottery than finding an FA Cup game! I'll be buying a lottery ticket tonight then.

The game was on live here in Australia. So I took the opportunity to have a good nights sleep and watch the whole game this morning. Just finished watching. As soon as they scored I thought that was it, but a great display. I thought we played well, and deserved the replay.
Norwich home. I remember being taken to a League Cup game, early 70's when we beat them. We can do it again.

Not a theory just fact. Gerry Francis achieved it with average players who ran their bollocks off every match for 90 minutes plus. They didn't always perform to their potential but usually to 90% most matches. They very rarely scored in injury time because they put everything in for the 90 minutes that proceeded and usually scored before then. Unlike the gas players of today who think that it is ok to only start playing when you are losing. Yeah, but those two late, late goals (injury time) goals at Twerton v Cardiff City.
They were good. I'm pretty sure this is the game

Just watched Appleton’s post match interview. ‘I thought we were great 2nd half.’ WTF was he watching? The first ten minutes of the second half they were doing very well. That was when they looked most dangerous.
Anyhow I enjoyed that game. Decent kick off time for me. vegemite on toast and a few cuppa's.
Now on with the day. The sun is shining. It's going to be hot. I'm going to clean the pool and have a couple of beers. Well the beers will be after lunch.

Please not Karl Robinson. Never rated him. Can’t see Wilder or Eustace being interested. Or Scott Parker though I liked him as a player. Hope I’m wrong. The Karl Robinson who couldn't coach in the A league. FFS not him.
Oh, sorry that was Carl Robinson.
Don't know if this is a wind up. I hope it is but.....
Steve Cotterill in to replace him. Just confirmed now on SSN
Edit, just to say I've only just found this out. The joys of living half way around the world. Being very busy and not looking at the Rovers site for 24 hours, and bang, there it is Barton sacked.

Apparently 40 seconds late in this one...... Who bloody knows 50 seconds.
I guess we'll have to wait for the Daily Mail to report on it. Then we'll get the truth.

Will Posh want to deal with us in January?
If they think we want him that badly.
Price for him to Rovers 800K Price for anyone else 400K
There will be some desperate teams come January so we may very well have to outbid everyone else meaning we could still end up paying 800k. A lot of clubs in our division wouldn't pay 800k at the moment but that would change if they could get the same player for half the price in a few months time. It would also be interesting to see how JCH feels right now. We are assuming he is disappointed it didn't go through but could he also be angry at the club for messing it up and may have a change of heart come January? He will carry on playing for Posh, scoring goals and they could be in the top six with us in the bottom six. Would he be so interested then? I suppose it would depend on which club or person(s) he's watered off with.
Posh (Ferguson) saying we should have done the deal sooner, yet the chairman crowing about how he'd turned down bids from Rovers earlier.

As I said elsewhere. Rovers need to be working on a deal with Posh and JCH in December so he can move January 1st. Over to the Gas to get this done and put this sh** show right. Will Posh want to deal with us in January?

How do you know he accepted it at the 11th hour? JCH was in Bristol from 8:30 which means he’s been given permission to travel at around 6 I’am going by the time the Bristol Post Rovers corespondent who had been following the deal all day, put out this tweet saying that Peterborough had accepted the offer which was around 10.0 clock last night. And someone else tweeted the fee had been agreed earlier in the week. Yet MacAnthony said he'd turned down bids from Rovers. Who do you believe?
As others have said, as he hasn't come out tweeting about how bad Rovers are I'd suspect at least part of the fault is with Posh.

Posh team sheet will give us an idea. Surely he would be on their bench at a minimum. I’d be shocked if he’s in the squad. Can’t see how he would be mentally ready. He was also probably in Bristol until the early hours. I wonder how JCH is feeling? I’d imagine he is pretty gutted. I thought the same. Car up from Portsmouth. Late night. Drive back to Portsmouth.
Having typed that he'll probably come off the bench in the 80th minute. Posh two down and he'll score twice.

Actually I didn't read this bit earlier.
So some sources say the 800,000 was agreed earlier in the week, but MacAnthony says bids were rejected.
I'm still inclined to think Posh were holding out for more money but when Derby county etc pulled out they realised they'd have to deal with Rovers and left it too late.
