Home early after negotiating the car park better for once .... What a cracking game ... Must admit I totally got that wrong at 2pm when i saw the team... Anyway here are our marks ... Cox - 7 ... Pretty faultless - good punching under pressure from the gorilla Wyke, distribution a different class from the midweek keeper. Vale - 7 Very good full debut and put in an excellent shift at LB Taylor - 7 Won most things in the air and scrapped hard - distribution getting better Grant - 8 Excellent at CB - Distribution brilliant and fought really well in the air - Would cement him in there now. Hunt - 9 - Love this guy!! Quality throughout and a goal + an assist to Big John. Finley - 8.5 I have been his biggest critic but today he was outstanding - led by example - terrific in the tackle and had a few shots at goal as well. Evans - 7 - Got kicked throughout but another really good hardworking display and drove us forward Bogarde - 7 Seems to take some time to settle into games but some nice touches and worked hard Thomas - 8 Excellent performance capped with a nice goal Collins - 7 Worked hard - created chances and got a deserved goal Big John - 7 Worked hard - got pushed and shoved and a cracking header for his goal Subs - Collective 6 - No one really stood out but did enough to see out the game Joe Barton - 7 Well I thought he had got the selection wrong but what do i know ? Josh Grant at CB and Harvey Vale at LB was inspired - Clearly told the boys to shoot more this week and it paid off. Referee Team - 5 - Very poor at times and some of his decision making will have made the assessor weep!! Fans- Strong 7 - Noisey at times and supported well - Loyalty rewarded today Wigan - 5 - Looked really good in the warm up - really good. I thought we would struggle against Wyke + Aasgaard but wasn't he case. So a thoroughly enjoyable game - is this the sign of things to come - we shall see Certainly taught me that we have more strength in depth than I thought Have a great weekend everyone. The ‘midweek goalkeeper’ was our player of the season 2 years ago, absolutely key to getting us promoted, and remains a decent 1st Divison goalie…..no idea why you feel the need to be so disrepectful

Why don't they just show all tickets available rather than add a few when nearly sold Still a lot of tickets available for today’s match. Are Rovers releasing batches of tickets too late? If you look at a particular point and see nothing left you may decide to do something else. Cannot see all these tickets being sold this morning. Agree it seems silly to me. I checked last night, no terrace tickets available, so I resigned myself to not going, and was considering alternative plans. A friend then messaged me to say more released! Had he not done so, I would not have checked again, and would not have bought a ticket. I guess there must be some logic to this that means earlier panic buys outweigh potential loss of last minute purchasers such as myself.

So how do you suggest we best right the wrongs of the past?. By not repeating the same mistakes. Everyone has the same legal rights and has done since the 1960s. Employment laws have given complete equality in law for about the same period of time. Certainly within the last 40. The fact some people faced discrimination who are mostly dead today doesn’t affect the prospects today of anyone else. Unless it’s inherited wealth, in which case that’s a question for everyone, not based on gender, as I sure as hell won’t be getting any. I fail to see how a female oxbridge graduate raised in Surrey has some kind of systemic disadvantage over say, a skinny kid from Southmead who’s parents are alcoholics. It was a cute trick by the rich to socialise their guilt amongst people in council houses in Liverpool, and for wealthy lawyers driving range rovers to feel downtrodden by the man who comes to clear the asbestos from their renovation, but I’m not buying it. So I guess I’m saying you’ve got to look at the consequences of identity politics because they balkanise groups and fraudulently promote race and gender ahead of affluence and burden those who’ve done nothing wrong to pay a price to people who’ve never even suffered any substantial form of discrimination in their lives. Absolutely spot on....it is amazing how many people supposedly outraged by discrimination, are against equal opportunity and hide behind the positive discrimination banner feeling righteous......when in actual fact they are effectively encouraging deceisions based on sex / skin colour.

Sprouting more nonsense......I actually voted to remain, though admittedly a close run decision, but unlike you and the other saddo's I accept the outcome of a democratic vote, and dont look to blame Brexit on every single issue.........and of course those polls are so accurate, you know the ones that predicted a big win for remain back in 2016!!! Of course you did you flag shagger 🤣😂 Your response sums you up, you have no clue, just a raging leftie with absolutely no clue about anything outside your Corbyn loving communist world...still bitter that the majority of the voting public disagreed with your sh*t views....

I'm not a Commie, far too right wing for me. 😃 I’m not sure Tinner understands how polls work 🙄, a poll of 1000 people is pretty much standard. Then again he was always of the opinion that Brexit was going to be a rip roaring success so I wouldn’t take him seriously anyway ! 😂😂😂🇬🇧 Sprouting more nonsense......I actually voted to remain, though admittedly a close run decision, but unlike you and the other saddo's I accept the outcome of a democratic vote, and dont look to blame Brexit on every single issue.........and of course those polls are so accurate, you know the ones that predicted a big win for remain back in 2016!!!

When it gets to 70% they won’t be able to ignore it anymore. It’s happening lads ! Dont be utterly ridicoulous, firstly this was a poll of 1000 people, so totally irrelevant, and as the Lib Dems found out to their cost at the last election, any party threatening to reverse Brexit will be utterly wiped out. You FBPE (whatever that stands for!!) loons are embarrasing how you cannot accept a democratic vote........closet commies the lot of you!!

I didn't say it was appropriate, I said he was correct in what he wrote. My guess is he knew he could be released because of it, but did it anyway. About time a rich celebrity stood up for what's right. Again, I note, no one has yet said he was wrong, only that he should/shouldn't be sacked. Just a shame GL has only now finally grown a pair. Shame he had nothing to say about the World Cup. I don't agree with that last line, he had a lot to say about it, in fact he even opened BBC sport coverage of the world cup with a rebuke of Qatar and it's policies. The difference being in that instance it was the BBC's plan for him to comment on those issues whereas he's put them on the spot for speaking out for what's right this time. Yes thoughts with Lineker…..must have been tough rebuking Qatar, with the Qatari broadcasting millions in his back pocket…absolute hypocrisy and yet people applaud him for it…..madness

Fantastic decision by Rovers. This utterly corrupt, racist, lying goverment trying to control any criticism of them is disgraceful & what you would expect of China. Clearly got their stooges runing the BBC. This country won't progress until we get rid of the Toriescum. Ha ha imagine a loony leftie referring negatively about their beloved China…….heaven help us when the uk hating, anti semitic, all illegal immigrants welcome, Labour Party get in to power……and that is before you remember they cannot describe a woman and think it is possible for a man to get pregnant 🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️ Interesting to see everyone defending Linekers free speech, had nothing to say when Jeremy Clarkson was being closed down……utter hypocrites

Be honest, we all critised everything and anything to do with Rovers over the past 18 months. Players, Management, Roverdrive isn't alone. The chap has apologised even though he really didn't need to. We're up, Lg1, let that sink in. Time to chill out, enjoy watching Mansfield, Northapton, Port Vale, Swindon go through what we don't need to. Up the Gas! Until we lose a few in league one and then the usual suspects will be out en masse, literally rubbing their hands in delight that they can have a good old moan…….

You just know that those ridiculous hypocritical grovellers would have equally been on here with condescending “told you so” messages had we failed to make the play offs. Equally a bad start next year, and the usual suspects will be shooting their mouths off again. Where are the “not a penny” more brigade? Again I expect biding their time and waiting (hoping??!!) for a bad turn of form so they can start hammering the club. So I have no interest in ‘apologies’ etc, the actions/comments from many earlier this season were a disgrace! How were they a disgrace? Earlier in the season we were bottling games vs 9men, and our already disgraced manager had multiple new stories about him in addition to an extra court case. So please tell me how any comments about us being sh** or our manager being a piece of sh** that were disgraceful? I’ve seen worse posted about the likes of Buckle and McGhee but that’s okay bcos even though on the face of it they’re decent humans, they’re sh** managers so it’s deserved. This would all be water under the bridge if you lot didn’t keep bringing up the fact that some of us do not like Joey. Well how about for starters trying their upmost to undermine the club and no doubt influence Wael in getting riod of JB back in September.........fan power is quite influential and no doubt the messages on this site, coupled with the direct tweets to Wael, made his decision to retain JB so much harder.....I have no doubt that if they had got their way, Barton would have been sacked and we would have finished mid table at best.....instead we got promoted with best end to a promotion season possibly ever.......so forgive me for calling these people out but they were oh so close to ruining this!!!!!!! So yes I think their attitude was a disgrace!

What on earth has Barton’s pass got to do with this? I am merely calling out the fickle, hypocritical supports who love to have a pop at any opportunity, and then simply change their tune when things go well……

Had a similar problem several years ago as my birthday is in April. Rang the club, was sorted out over the phone and received the earlybird price. Same here. No drama, simple phone call. Seems a bit beyond some - where's Commercial Union when you need them! Ha Ha I worked for Commercial Union for 16 years....loved that advert, and still remember the catchphrase today.....mark of quality advertising

Unless of course your name is George Floyd, in which case, murals are erected, memorial services take place, virtual candlelit sessions held, labour take a knee outside parliament……all willingly overlooking the fact he held a loaded gun to a pregnant woman’s stomach…… You can condemn Floyd behaviour towards women AND police treatment of him. Quite right you can…but please point out who condemned his behaviour and how that is reflected in his treatment as some sort of saint……..also it is not police treatment, it is the actions of a specific police officer unless of course you believe builders are responsible for Fred Wests victims!!

I'm a Gashead 'til I die and I hope we go up. I also recognise that Barton, belatedly, has got the team playing very well. However, violence against women can't be condoned, ever!

Ha ha there you go again.....different opinions and views = racist.....when will you lefties ever learn? Funny that you would have been happy to see a proven anti Semitic party take charge of the country, but guess racism doesn’t count when it relates to Jewish people! I just call it as I see it ..... I’ve read plenty of your anti Muslim crap , your victimisation of the grenfell fire , your wrongful claims that Muslims were more likely to be involved in rape gangs and your claim that the silent majority were behind the Milwall booing . You won’t find any anti semantic posting from me anywhere. I’ve called it out on here and other places. You can twist stuff to suit your agenda all you like......but the one thing you can't change and I notice you conveniently overlooked it is that you actively supported putting a proven racist party into power at the last election.......so rage all you like but when it boils down to it you and many of your leftie cohort are the biggest culprits going and you try and deflect this by attacking others!!

Hang on...that is rich coming from the rabid anti - brexit FBPE cult member, who no doubt gets most of his views from the loony left I’m not a member but yes I’m pro European and against Brexit . There was a reason why I blocked you on Twitter because I don’t want to engage with sad little racists like yourself . Ha ha there you go again.....different opinions and views = racist.....when will you lefties ever learn? Funny that you would have been happy to see a proven anti Semitic party take charge of the country, but guess racism doesn’t count when it relates to Jewish people!

The same Sucharit Bhakdi who: - Had his youtube account terminated for breaking community guidelines? - Who's work has been cited by the Medical Tribune in Germany as unscientific by the country's experts? - Who had his youtube video fact checked to be wrong on multiple counts? - Who claimed a Covid vaccine would be pointless? - Who claimed the Covid virus poses no more threat than influenza? - Who had the University of Mainz distance itself from, stating that it does not support his views? Yes Pirate, I think we've seen enough of your "highly-acclaimed" scientists a few too many times. It’s always sadly the same . A little bit of research and Pirates/Wes’ so called experts are shown to be cranks . There’s more to life than YouTube ..... there’s a real world out there. Hang on...that is rich coming from the rabid anti - brexit FBPE cult member, who no doubt gets most of his views from the loony left
