Regarding the Bradford offer, this seems to have passed me by, I'm a season ticket holder, what is it? There was a questionaire but only people not on the ST list got the offer as far as I'm aware. I left it at that and know nothing more OK, thanks. |

Potential big crowd tonight as well. £10 game for Ukraine. Regardless of thoughts of injustices elsewhere in the world if you look at this on it's own merit I applaud it. They'll get a few quid from Sky, large crowd might be the twelve man. Regarding the 12th man I can see why the free ticket offer has been offered for the Bradford game. Last 2 games will be sell out. If big crowds for the other games are worth 3 points each then if we go up the lost revenue will be loose change Regarding the Bradford offer, this seems to have passed me by, I'm a season ticket holder, what is it? |

Interesting the last time we were promoted under DC our final game was against already relegated Dagenham & Redbridge & this season our last game is against Scunthorpe who are looking likely of having the same fate. And Rovers 39th game of that season was Carlisle away. Rovers were missing Tom Lockyer on international duty. |

So far removed from the wet lettuce wonder kid we had from chelsea when dc was in charge Which one? I thought Charlie Colkett was quite decent (I enjoyed his winner against Northampton and his memorable performance against MK Dons). Jake Clarke-Salter had a few mistakes in him, but I wouldn't call him a wet lettuce. DC hauled Colkett off at halftime against Shrewsbury, reason, lack of effort. |

Pity they didn't sack him after Rovers hammered them, there might have been a new manager bounce when they played Newport, Port Vale and Northampton.

The most successful teams are the ones that can mix it up. Some are direct, some are excellent at dead balls and some can knock it around nicely. If we can improve our scoring from set pieces and be able to go more direct at times, will help us massively. We definitely need to improve our final ball and be more ruthless in front of goal because we do create opportunities even when we are not playing that well. Yeah agree with this. Loft was supposed to give us this plan B but I'm not sure he is that type of player. Feel we really need a fast strong, awkward No.9 (like we seem to come up against every week). But I love the way we play as a plan A. When it works, it is some of the best football i have seen at the gas. Such a shift from the first few months where i had no idea what our plan A even was Interesting comment re: Bond JB is only going to switch to long ball plan B when Rovers are chasing the game, and that's not happening very often. |

Dundee announce relegation. Lovely stuff I missed some of the Graydon and Atkins era, but McGhee is amongst the worst eras I remember Martin Dobson, Dave Penney. |

If it's a serious injury I think JB would get an emergency loan in.

Could easily have gone on loan to higher division it appears, looks like the Barton factor came into play here with the coaching team at Magpies (Ameobi /Given) thinking Joey will progress him. An interesting signing and could be exciting. Welcome Elliot and good luck. We've no real idea why he choose Rovers, it could be down to the fact JB promised him game time whereas L1/Championship clubs couldn't make similar promises. It'll be interesting to see if he can cope with the physical side of the game when he makes his debut. Yeah, look at the welcome to L2 Thomas showed Devine Saturday. |

Ripped Devine up for ass paper first half, could have had two penalties if he had gone down after rinsing him, many would have.

A small percentage of total fatalities on our roads are caused on the motorway Most deaths occur along country lanes and in built up areas where speed is an obvious issue If people realised there was no point in bursting every vein in their body to take over and save 6 seconds on their journey we’d all be better off.ALways amuses me when you can see they are busting to overtake you. Finally they do and end up one place in front of you at the lights. Well that was worth it!  No point trying to rush around Bristol it aint happening Yes, no matter how fast, or slow, you drive in Bristol, you always catch up to the car in front. |

He was decent when playing along side Mark McChrystal who was always encouraging and advising him, probably because he had the pace to cover Macca. Tom Lockyer didn't need that.

I'm not even sure when Rovers players report back for post Xmas training/testing themselves, as I doubt they'll train today and tomorrow then play on Wednesday, was today always in the players calendar has a rest day? 12:15 today they reported back I guess they all had to take a lateral flow test, and the same for Crawley. |

Coug's "They shall not pass" was effective in L1, but would have been a disaster if promoted.

Posh will make big changes i reckon, staying in the championship is far more important. They will want a win as morale booster for the team and their fans. So strongest team, but JCH has never played well against us. |

Radio Bristol were saying that the first yellow was for dissent, stupid if so. Assumed it was a late decision on the tackle but perhaps not. The first booking was a 50/50 challenge. The Northampton player just screamed like a 2 year old who has just had his teddy taken off him. Didn't the free kick go to Rovers for the first yellow? So it must have been dissent. |

I was a guest of the Warmley Rangers club who had a match day experience. My grandson got it for birthday. As a game it had everything, going one down, fighting back to lead, a sending off, holding on to win, though that didn't seem difficult, the last kick drama plus, a lousy ref. Everyone enjoyed it, it was a great day. I would say, the seats at the far end of the southwest stand were the last turkey in the shop at xmas, worse than my normal seat which is south stand, and the glare of the advertising boards dazzled.

In the sixties, when reserves played in the football combination, I watched a game, Rovers reserves v West Ham reserves, Rovers were 4 down at half time, it finished 4-4. Just saying
