As I was doing the scores for the early 4th round predictions (nearly everyone has 2 points so I won't bother updating just yet), I thought I'd look at the predictions for 8pm tonight... @mcchisel and glostergas are the only people going for a Uruguay win (and therefore probably an early England exit)... RD is the only person going for a draw... As for the rest of us...well, I hope we're all right!

If we could get Channel 5 involved it could be a TV show.... Motivational stuff big dave. I'll think about it! I've done work for Channel 5 behind the scenes...the least motivational thing I've ever done....however, I'd love to be a TV agent so let's give it a go!

I would love to lock you in a room with the board for 60 minutes and see what happens Hi Big Dave, That would be great fun. I would look forward to it. Perhaps I should give the club a ring. On and off the pitch we all deserve better. If we could get Channel 5 involved it could be a TV show....

I remain encouraged by what DC is saying. Very encouraged actually. I just hope the environment at the club allows him to achieve his potential I agree. Making the most of this clubs potential is the key challenge. It's time to move on and look forward. I would love to lock you in a room with the board for 60 minutes and see what happens

Methinks Spain have failed because they have been so successful recently...forgotten how to win when they're not already winning...

The problem is, if it was a new board with no baggage the questions directed at them would be different and delivered to them in a positive way. The situation last night was that in the main they were being criticized and therefore the majority of their replies were defensive and deflective (save DC). They did not overly impress if that is what you are after but as I said its because of the nature of the event. It's i) expected because of the nature of the event and ii) expected because of the nature of the board. I'd welcome other views, but maybe 'impress' is the wrong word. Were they 'confident' in their answers? Did they seem in control (in front of what was an unhappy but basically friendly audience)?

My question was, did the board members answer the questions in a way that, if they were brand new to the club you would support them as a 'new board'.
Yes it's hypothetical, and yes I was a bit drunk last night when I asked it. But I think as a question it's an interesting one. Whilst it's impossible to forget the history of this board at this club, if they were new investors with new money from this point in time, did they seem like they knew what the hell they were doing?

Question for you and anyone else who was there tonight. If those board members who were present were currently trying to buy the club (massive hypothetical as obviously they wouldn't know so much about the problems of the last few years) would you support them taking us over where we are now and think they could be successful over the next year/two/five years, based on what you heard from them at the meeting???Still hoping some people who were there can answer my question from last night...

Damn it, I would have been on 19 points if I'd submitted in time. Have any of your opponents broken any rules (up to 4 years ago)? I could think about re-instating you

Well done to Hugo Admin, @mcchisel, Finnish Gas and BishopstonBRFC for having a strong end to the round and catching the early leaders, but a round of internet applause please for Russgas! Four correct scorelines and 5 other correct results means he should have spent less time doing this and more time in the bookies...

Seriously guys what else did you expect them to say/do? Anyone who had a burning question/ point to make had the opportunity to do that face to face tonight (through the process provided) and will have the chance at the open forum (whenever that is) Plenty seem quick to criticize every response or action but no one is actually stepping forward with any viable alternatives to what the board do - just offer more criticism To be fair I thought they conducted themselves pretty well tonight (especially DC) although some responses were a bit wishy washy - but so were some of the questions. I'm kind of glad to hear this - I knew that several questions would be dodged or fobbed off...therefore it was more about 'how' they were answered in the room than what the answers actually were. Question for you and anyone else who was there tonight. If those board members who were present were currently trying to buy the club (massive hypothetical as obviously they wouldn't know so much about the problems of the last few years) would you support them taking us over where we are now and think they could be successful over the next year/two/five years???

Done it, not sure how many I got right, though. Should announce the results in the summer traditionally..."this year, for the 20th year in the row there has been an increase in the number of supporters getting an A-C in their FFS exam..."

I'm assuming the signature is for Cheltenham....and if so I hope he fails...only as he's wound up gullible Rovers fans today... Lots of Rovers fans are getting rather excited by it all! Lots of Rovers fans (me included) just want a decent starting XI and subs in place for pre-season...however, social media idiots can sign for others...
