Couldn't give a toss what the players do in their own time to be honest , I don't / want to know any of them personally and it's probably the same for them as well, I just care about what they do on the pitch and for the last few years it's been outstanding so let's just get behind them. My family and some of my very close friends are city fans , does that mean that I can't go out or socialise with them? Of course it doesn't , utter nonsense! Nobody is saying that - that would be ridiculous. For what it’s worth I don’t have a twitter account, nor do I have an instagram account. I occasionally use the search functionality on twitter to look at Rovers news, which is how I read about his recent social media activity. My gripe isn’t about what EH gets up to in his own time, it’s of little interest to me either, and like many others on here I tried to ignore his earlier ‘indiscretions’ because it shouldn’t matter what he gets up to in his own time (even if going and watching your cross-city rivals does seem a bit… daft) but for me him actively looking to draw a negative reaction from the fans of the club he plays for goes beyond stupidity - it’s unacceptable.

I see that Ellis “about as subtle as a brick” Harrison is up to his old tricks again. Is it that he’s that desperate for attention that if he’s not playing he has to wind up the fans, or does he just genuinely not give a f*ck about us? Him and Taylor out for lunch - which is fine, they’re obviously good mates - but Harrison has had his fingers burned enough times to realise that this making its way on to social media is going to get under more than a few Rovers fans’ skin. I see he also commented on a post Taylor had put up following their win at Wigan with “W*nker”. It’s pretty apparent from their relationship that this was done with the intention of having a laugh at the expense of the Rovers fans that would inevitably take this at face value; “OMG Harrison just called Taylor a w*nker on instagram – LEGEND” . I can’t understand why he thinks this is ok? If he doesn’t like us, that’s fine, but I can’t think of any situation where an employee would be allowed to take the p*ss out of customers so openly and get away with it. I think that with the ear cupping at Wembley, the evening out at Ashton Gate, the sulky performances on the pitch, and now another social media ‘incident’ it’s time EH had a good look at himself and whether or not he’s being fair to those that have contributed significantly to his monthly pay packet for the past six or seven years. I’d say not. alternatively some fans should take a look at their own sad little lives that things like that bother them so much. It's okay for people to slaughter Ellis on social media for being sh*t and give him abuse from the teraaces, but those people can never handle it back.
Should Ellis think a bit more about what he posts? probably, but he shouldn't have to if a number of fans actually screwed their own sodding head on after removing it from their arses
What about the fans that neither blast him on social media, nor on the terraces, and still have to put up with sh*t from the fallout of his little wind-ups. It's a small minority that openly abuse players and I think that the majority deserve a little bit of respect from the players that have had years of support. Thank you for your brilliantly condescending reply though. #superfan

If we have any chance of making the playoffs this season then this is a MUST win game IMO. It won't be easy as Southend are 7th but we are strong at home and playing incredibly well recently so I fancy us to win. Ollie Clarke is suspended for 2 games, so will be interesting to see how DC goes about that. Will he revert to a 4-4-2? Not sure if DC will want to play Sinclair in a middle 2? Or will we stick with the 4-3-3 formation that has brought us so much joy recently and replace Ollie with either Mansell/Partington? Um, Just *WOW!* At 06.20 on a weekday morning, my alarm has just usually woken me up ready for a hard days work.(You're already posting on an internet forum..... ) I've usually just awoken with an massive bonner for Louise Minchin, seems you have one just for me...... Both our posts seems to show what we both find exciting first thing in the morning.... I'm going to be cringing when I wake up at 06.15 on Monday knowing what you're thinking about...... But hey, its the 21st century, what ever turns you on! Just don't let Stefan know though, as it might cause a bit of friction between the pair of you. Over to you for the caught a whopper, etc etc reply. *WHOOP WHOOP!!* Loves me a bit of Lou in the morning!!!!! GGMI is going to need a new rod after that bite!

Failure to secure uwe in next few months and he'll be gone in the summer. Really? He's got 20-30 years of management left in him yet, I don't imagine he's in too much of a hurry. Everything Darrell has ever done or said suggests he's a reasonable, realistic man. He's been at the club through far less promising times, why would he leave now when so much is possible?

Top performance Lumley Manse Gaffers And fair play to James, barely lost a ball in the air, unlucky to hit the post and not connect with Gaffneys pass near the end It will happen for him, cannnot fault the work rate, this is what we want , all to play for 9 to go, you never know Literally the only thing you can criticise James for is taking up the wrong position for the Gaffney pass; he should have stayed far more central. Can't help but feel that he's got goals in him and when you consider that he's yet to score a goal for us that says something I think!

Don't know how Keith and co. manage it to be honest. It's actually a phenomenal feat to get such a high quality publication out time and time again.

Genuinely perplexed as to how Tubby Trevor is considered a league standard referee. Clueless isn't the word.

Looks like the winter coat and blanket can be left at home tomorrow then! If his weather forecasting is anywhere near as bad as his football punditry you might want to invest in a waterproof snowsuit...

Jesus. I'm starting to think you're not rubbing your hands together under the blanket, but rather sharpening your knives. Makes Vinnie Jones look level-headed! if I or one of their players didn't go home bleeding, I'd had a bad game. Cold. Blooded. Killer.

No, but I did break a guys hand once during a feisty game of 5 a side. I was always quite a dirty player (due mainly to lack of actual skill) and one team we played had a big tall bully of a player. Something of a running battle ensued which culminated in me absolutely clattering him going for a 50/50. I landed on him and broke all the metacarpals in his hand. I saw him several weeks later and he had his hand in some sort of cage contraption where they had set his bones back. A good 6 months later when I saw him next he still had it on. His hand hadn't set properly and he'd had had to have his hand rebroken and set again. He was off work for over a year and ended up losing his job I believe and it also led to me quitting 5 a side. We won 5-3. Jesus. I'm starting to think you're not rubbing your hands together under the blanket, but rather sharpening your knives. Makes Vinnie Jones look level-headed!

I'll never forget McChrystal's face when Mansell scored at Wembley. He put in a mammoth performance that day and I really felt the relief he felt rather than the elation the others seemed to be experiencing. I think if Macca hadn't been such a body-on-the-line, defend-at-all-costs defender then he may not have struggled with injury quite so much over the past season or two. Fortunately for us he was and that speaks volumes about the man. I also think that we have to credit him hugely for his role in Tom Lockyer's development, Locks always looked so much more assured with MMc alongside him before Sweeney came in. Thanks for everything Macca. You'll be missed.

Always nice when an opposition manager speaks to the press and makes it patently obvious that he's done f*ck all homework on us. Can't wait to see us pass them to pieces on Saturday!

Let's not forget he played a small part in our promotion by disallowing this goal. Despite that being one of the luckiest things ever to happen to us as a club, you have to say that's virtually criminal. Rules are rules.

Referee for Saturday is one Trevor Kettle. I had it in my head that he’s been an awful referee for us so I looked back at the last few years and:
He’s reffed us 4 times over the last 5 seasons; we’ve won three league games and drawn one FA Cup game.
2011/12 – H 7-1 Burton Albion
2012/13 – H 2-1 Barnet
2013/14 – H 3-3 York City (FA Cup)
2014/15 – N/A
2015/16 – A 0-1 Luton
F/A – 13-5
So, fingers crossed, it looks like we won’t be requiring Newton Abbott’s kettle on Saturday...
