BBC sport saying his contract was canceled by mutual consent. Looks like no fee was paid but no word on length of deal .

absolute non-story for me Agreed there's nothing in it . Some bloke who tried to buy reading was seen at the mem 6 weeks ago . Why have the post waited until now to report it . No offers or approach has been made seems like a quiet news day story .

I don't really see why students should get a discount anyway , the club don't offer discounts to single mothers , the disabled or the unemployed. I know plenty of gasheads who can't attend as many games as they use to because they have a young family to provide for , shouldn't they get a discount as well ?

sounds like it all came down to money or contract length , i like Monkhouse and i'm sure he will get a contract at a league club but its good to see a manager at rovers who sticks to his guns and doesn't just give players whatever they want to come here.

maybe DC wanted to see him after getting a decent pre season under his belt to prove his fitness. its not like he set the world on fire last year and if he really wanted to be here he would of took the offer.

Hoskins still not got a club. If he still hasn't found himself a good deal somewhere I would love for us to put in a cheeky small offer to him. Yes, he is VERY injury prone but he is much too good for league two. He's worth a chance on low wages. We're not after a striker so this is a load of dung really. Just really rated him during his time with us. One of the only things to get excited about going to matches that season. where have I heard this before ?

Whatever the outcome the appeal process will kick in after the verdict is given . Expect a few more months of this

Probably all off to stop the new floodlights at the cricket ground and block the new weatherspoons on the Gloucester Road .

I hope not as none bar Preston have impressed. I'd give preston a 1 year deal to see if he pushes on a release the rest. We haven't had a decent youth set up since Trollop who pushed/developed 4-5 youth players into the starting line up. Didn't our youth team recently do a league and cup double ?

^I'd be interested in his assist stats, since you mentioned it. I don't see him create much at all tbh. I know these type of threads tend to go all polarized, but that needn't happen. I just think he is rubbish. Regardless of his stats he won us quite a few points last year .

they call fatty parkin the beast and hes white, i think your splitting hairs a bit with some of your comments. to suggest its racist to call any black player strong and pacey is just ridiculous and for the record i though drogba was a very intelligent player. you can sit around all day and pick holes in society but at the end of the day there is no big agenda in football to stop ethnic minoritys getting certain jobs. I didn't say it was racist to call a black person strong or pacey. My point is that generally black players are praised for their natural athleticism and white players for their intelligence and hard work. That damages the chances of black people getting managerial jobs, in my opinion. Ah right, I see what your getting at but I don't agree with you. I think the majority of managers in the league are ex midfielders and defenders where as you don't see a lot of ex strikers and wingers go into management the pacey athletic black player you talk about falls into this catagory .

Racial stereotyping is still prominent in football today. Perhaps we just don't really notice it. I studied this as a module at university and I have to say it was a real eye-opener. How often do you hear football fans and commentators talk about black players as "strong" or "pacey" or liken a black player to a "beast"? How often does Drogba get compliments for his intelligence on a football pitch? Players from the Far East get praised for their work ethic. You get people that want to give an opinion on football, but can only muster a racial stereotype because more often that not, they don't understand the game. I remember back on the old 606 forum, a Rovers fan saying we should be trying to sign a "Big, black striker." Why should skin colour make any difference? they call fatty parkin the beast and hes white, i think your splitting hairs a bit with some of your comments. to suggest its racist to call any black player strong and pacey is just ridiculous and for the record i though drogba was a very intelligent player. you can sit around all day and pick holes in society but at the end of the day there is no big agenda in football to stop ethnic minoritys getting certain jobs.

To be fair the club don't use the money we give them through the turnstiles to much effect . Think I will keep my hard earned cash and donate it to my cider fund .

I despair at my home city. Progress constantly being thwarted and yet the greens enjoy more and more success with in council elections. I really wat to move back one day but dung like this will make me think twice. ? undoubtedly the same people who campaigned against us and city. same tactics used again. is disgraceful these people are allowed to stop major projects going forward after planning permission has been granted. Would love to stand in front of these people and give them what for.... They're launching a JR because the lights "are not in keeping with the area". I hope the judge once again laughs these clowns out of court. Another nice bill for the council tax payer to pick up. So let's play the political game...anyone amongst us want to stand against this at the next election? And anyone willing to support them if they do? regardless of who's in power anyone can apply for a judicial review. a judicial review is meant to be used if people think the proper process' wasn't followed during planning permission instead its used to throw a spanner in the works when these professional antagonists don't get there way. it wateres me off but its always going to happen regardless of which useless priick is running the city.

I don't think any of the players offered deals are irreplaceable and if they aren't happy with what's on the table then I won't lose any sleep if they go.
