Fair play to Wales. Heroic play with ten men and they have qualified. Only saw the second half, but well played Wales. I thought the sending off harsh (can/will they appeal?), and not long before that there was a very poor challenge on Bale that was worthy of a yellow, but the "big" team get the benefit of unconscious bias again....

pretty sure we've always struggled against Sweden Think it was quite a comfy 2-0 in the last World Cup Hugh. Watching GvP just now, wouldn’t fancy our chances against either of them. I think even we, the mighty Gas, could score against this Portuguese defence (or they would score for us...)

Does anyone know how to get the Helpline discount in the on-line shop? There’s a Helpline discount? There is supposed to be, I believe. I must admit I've never bothered to try to claim it when buying the odd thing in the past, but as I was considering getting quite a bit of stuff this time I thought I'd try to find out how to do it. Does anyone know? If not then it'll just be a bit more for the club.....

I would be very suspicious if first time posters are actually Rovers fans especially if their first post is a new negative thread.

I remember him being extremely lazy that day he scored those 2 fabulous goals at Wembley. If a Premier league striker had scored two goals as good as those in a FA Cup final or similar, then they would have been shown endlessly on TV

Since my Dad died I've taken over his FA Cup final ritual, which was to cut the grass that afternoon. He didn't like Football!

I remember seeing Zamora and Ellington come on as subs, I think it was away to Wycombe, and thinking that we'd had a glimpse into what the future held for Rovers. Sadly Olly didn't agree. It was away at Wycombe. I was also there and my recollection is of two precocious talents. I think it was Ellington running through the Wycombe penalty area bouncing the ball on his shoulder that sticks with me. When Zamora was on loan at Brighton, Rovers Reserves were playing Brighton's at Worthing FC's ground. I went along and Zamora was there watching. I was able to get pretty close and say hello to him, but my main memory was the way the Brighton staff and players were all edging him on to join them. I remember writing to Holloway to inform him of this, but as you say Tilly, it seems Holloway wasn't too interested in keeping him. You could argue that the fee we got wasn't too bad for an unproven youngster, but.....

Absolute hammering incoming, sadly. Early kick off - 1pm - too. At least it will be over early......

Oh well - easy local trip to Crawley for me to see TN score three, and TC help keep a clean sheet, against us no doubt

Wouldn't you have after listening to him say right before the match that he wouldn't have signed a single one of them? He has criticised everyone and everything about our club and surprisingly it hasn't helped results. A few home truths for Wael and the board are fine - things clearly need to change - but JB does seem to have gone too far tonight and recently. Is he looking for a way out with a pay off, and not having to resign?

Have they got more players on the pitch than we have? If you define a player as someone that can play football as part of an organised team - yes.

Thank god I saved myself £10 Same here. We have such a soft team. JB has to recruit five or six leaders - ugly hard b*st*rds - over the summer if we are to survive or prosper in League 2 next season

Does that mean we save any money paying him/his contract off?

Didn't (want to) watch today. Correct decision it seems. We are down now - realistically we've been doomed for many weeks. Really disappointed in Upson. From what I've read here, and not seeing it for myself, it seems that as one of the few senior professionals in this squad he has to avoid giving the Ref the excuse. I hope JB can find two or three leaders over the Summer as we have none. A couple of ugly b*st*rd centre halves too....and a couple of proper l2 strikers, and a couple of ball winning midfielders. Not much needed then...

everything coming out of the club at the moment screams "shambles" Hasn't it always? 🙄 Perhaps, maybe, I hope, Wael has realised that he has put his trust in the wrong people and this is the start of the shake up needed.

If Swindon get relegated with us, then any points deduction for their financial shenanigans would take effect next season. That should help us avoid going down again......... shouldn't it?
