what is the problem with anti IRA songs, and celebrating someone opposed to an ideology totally alien to our western culture? Racism and bigotry has no place in football. It isn't a good look from you trying to defend that scumbag Yaxley-Lennon So being anti terrorist is bigotry.....and anti an ideology is racist......what a narrow minded person you are! oh and what is with the Yaxley Lennon stuff....guess you would never make reference to Elton John, Cliff Richard etc etc

Jesus hark at the righteous few.......what is the problem with anti IRA songs, and celebrating someone opposed to an ideology totally alien to our western culture?
It could be far worse, heaven forbid that anyone start chants supporting our Communist loving opposition leader and his Marxist cronies!

Lets not forget the ridicoulous and frankly embarrasing shouts through this thread. We now have the 4th best defensive record in the league, but of course plenty of better players out there aren't there??!!!
Meanwhile, I notice Broadbent is a sub for a mid table 2 Div side, but of course because he is tall, and ex army, he is a far better option than are existing centre halfs!

The state of some comments on here is why most 'normal' supporters find this forum a total embarrassment.
To think we have people totally disregarding the fact that we have had one of the best defensive records all season, also ignoring the fact that both Lockyer & Craig are virtual ever presents, not hiding, and putting in 100% each week, and now playing a key part in our improved record. Instead the demand is for a strong tall centre half...never mind if they are any good, have no pace and cannot defend against the modern forward!! You have one person even quoting name and height statistics...absolutely pathetic.
I have no doubt the same t*ssers were saying Lee Brown was past his best and over the hill at 27.....and who is now an ever present for a team at the top end of this league!
I notice with our recent run of results, comments are softening.....but the underlying negativity remains and for an absolute legend such as Lockyer, that is a disgrace.

I think Stui slipped there a little. I’d have given him the benefit of the doubt. I think Bonham would have saved that header. Either from claiming the ball in the air or saving the header which Smith made a meal out of. Think we did well to hold out for a draw given less men for most of the game. I doubt Gordon Banks would haved saved their goal, it was a great header. Agree re Sinclair...looks very harsh to me.

What utter nonsense, presumably you would not have picked Nobby Stiles in the world cup final?? Sinclair f*cked up today, but has been an absolute credit to this club over the past 5 years, and has played a vital part in our recent success, and as such deserves respect. He continues to be a good player for this club, because, believe it or not, you need players to tackle and close down the other team, and allow players such as Lines more time on the ball. When did I say he didn't deserve respect for his contributions in the PAST. Sure, he was great in the conference and played a part in the second promotion. We all have opinions and mine is that he is no where near up to league one standard. Aside from one game vs Coventry he has had pretty much no impact this season. Time to move him on as we need more technically gifted footballers than him to progress. So calling him a donkey is showing respect??.......I guess you would prefers players like Colkett then, far more technically gifted, but did f*ck all!! Those type of players would guarantee us relegation.

Apologies, that was poor on my part and done in the heat of the monent. To call Sinclair a donkey is a very poor comment and totally disrespectful to a guy who always gives 100% to the shirt. As was mine. In terms of footballing ability though, he is definitely a donkey and no where near league one standard. He shouldn’t get in the team ahead of Lines just because gives his all and makes big tackles. What utter nonsense, presumably you would not have picked Nobby Stiles in the world cup final?? Sinclair f*cked up today, but has been an absolute credit to this club over the past 5 years, and has played a vital part in our recent success, and as such deserves respect.

Hear many times that James Clarke is “reliable”, “steady”, “dependable”, “does a job”, “can be called upon”, “versatile” etc, etc..... ...if he’s all of those things, why don’t people want him starting ahead of presumably an unknown signing in the summer Because "people" are never satisfied with what they have got. Absolutely spot on....if we had signed a right back from the championship that no one had heard of let alone seen play....then you would have people on her estatic...instead we have signed a very capable player who has a fantastic attitude.....and people moan.

What you must remember is that we need to employ another 5 back room staff so no place for a very good youngster who could have earned the club some money Good luck young man and i wish you the very best in the future Well clearly the club do not believe that at this stage he will make it, so frankly if that is the case, then it is the best decision all round. Are you seriously implying that the club would release someone who they think could go on and make the grade?? l guess most parents of the 1000’s of released youngsters feel aggrieved, but most have the dignity and class to accept the decision, which in the vast majority of situations are correct. Sadly in this case the parent chose to have a subjective rant. Why some one on here choose to immediately side with an angry parent against our club says a lot about the negative attitude they automatically adopt.

Lee Brown is a true legend, and also a bl**dy good full back....we will struggle to fill his boots.
This is a man who could have left when we sunk to the conference but stayed and played a massive part in our rise back to div 1. And yet some still feel the need to add unnecessary snide comments about him not being good enough for league 1.
They are both disrespectful and my opinion totally wrong.....just celebrate a fantastic pro who gave everything for Rovers in nearly 300 games, including the best moment in football many of us will ever experience.

Sinclair is just not good enough, he’s frantic on the ball. Not an option nice of composure and as a result either goes back or loses it, in my opinion of course. I honestly think if he didn’t have an impressive beard people would be on his back... I was sat in the uplands seating had a great view of their goal, it wasn’t hit hard and went underneath Smith, he’s a great shot stopper but has zero command of his area and never claims crosses. Sercombe was player of the season for me when playing CM... he looks an ounce of the same player out wide. And gaffney... he has great close control but in the box is an absolute donkey 😂😂 Jesus,over the course of this season Sinclair has in my opinion performed well, and the fact that DC continues to select him makes me believe my opinion is far more accurate than your utter nonsense. Turning to Smith, I believe he is a good league one goalie, BRFC and NTFC clearly both agree....having both offered him a contract....not bad for someone who never claims crosses! what is it with some on here.....we deservedly drew at home with a top 5 team, we all know we are mid table material at present, so in my book a decent result.......why oh why do people feel the need to crucify players after any match we do not win.

Excuses, excuses. Darrell seems to have them for every scenario, but should look to himself. Last few games, Rochdale completely outplayed us on THAT pitch, the Dons were bloody awful but we didn't try to attack them, then today Scunny managed to pass the ball to each other on THAT pitch, but we couldn't. Why? After all we know that pitch better than the opposition do. There is no pattern to the play, no game plan, except to just keep humping it long to the opposition centre backs, Sercombe played out of position, Lines being in the team, and the biggest joke of all, Lockyer named man of the match. He didn't play a ball to a member of his own team until the 26th minute. I know because a few of us were looking for it. The only reason Broadbent is out of the team ( if it's true he's being rested) is to get Locks in the team. He should have been made to earn the position, not just having it handed to him. Then the usual no subs until at least the 60th minute, but today not even then, until we went a goal down. It seems that we are happy to draw every game. And what is the point of all eleven defending a corner when there are only a few minutes left and we are a goal down? We are totally predictable, and that has to be down to playing instructions. Sometimes Darrell, it pays to look closer to home. Have I read this right, you and a few others spent time analysing our only full international, to try and find fault presumably. My god, I despair of some people....here is a lad with over 200 appearances for the club, deserves far more respect than a witch hunt to find some pointless ammunition. DC generally believed to be one of our best managers of all time rates him highly, Wales rate him, I am damn sure his team mates rate him, but you go ahead and seek out issues.......the biggest joke is not TL getting MOM, I agreed with it BTW, but your idiotic rants.

Sorry lastminutewinner but by that argument no one ever does good business because every transfer depends on future performance. Come on that’s just pedantic isn’t it? It means you can never say good business has been done. Any future performance is a kind of implicit understanding that there are no guarantees. UTG!
How can it be good business unless they perform well? Was Liam Lawrence good business?
So presumably if we had signed Messi on a free transfer, you would be on the fence!

I think DCs recruitment has been brilliant. We’ve gone up two divisions and are now mid table in league 1 and the majority of our squad was signed by him. It’s easy to pick out this player or that player that wasn’t a stand out good signing at any club but 2 promotions and then a top ten finish speaks for itself. Every one of DCs signing has played a part in getting us to where we are and we’ve spent and recouped near enough the same amount. I fail to see how thsts not good transfer business. Signings from non league and div 2 have proved good enough for league 1, Sinclair Leadbitter Bodin Gafney for example all pretty much free signings from a level lower than we are now have done well in league 1. DC doesn’t sign big names he finds lower league gems for free which considering his budget these last few years is exactly what we’ve needed. Well said.....spot on. Every club in the world make signings they regret, but our progress is proof of DC's success in this area.

It would have been good to have Sweeney there though. We scored from the throw in.....and you think we should have had Sweeney in the way?!

Typical crap......some people are only happy if we are making signing, regardless to how well they do. Pehaps, just maybe DC has taken a look and decided he has enough quality in the reserves / youth and wants to give them a go. Or maybe there is nobody that interests him that has become available.
DC's approach has worked each season for the last 3, and yet there are still people who wont be happy until we go back to our dark days of offering contracts to has beens who do not give a f8ck, and we get rid of players like Sinclair who would run through brick walls for Rovers and replace them with names who spend 90 mins posing about.
We have a decent size squad, some good youngsters seemingly coming through, and are starting to shape up nicely in the league, and yet this, it would seem, is not good enough.
Personally, I love the approach DC is taking. The core of the squad remains, gradually improving it with a handful of signings, and providing the opportunity for youngsters to grab a place. Long may it continue.

Overall he played well this season. If JCS was as good as we would like him to be he probably wouldn't be available for loan and wouldn't be available to us. Fact is he is a young player who came to us to develop. He's played a lot of games and he picked up a bad injury half way through the season and no, he wasn't as good as Sweeney as a stopper or as a defender but he will have benefitted from this season. Like all young players he needs to be used carefully and against the Millwall forwards he came up against two of the biggest and strongest forwards in the division and will be better for having played even though it wasn't his best match! I bet he has been told to strengthen up and I expect he will use the Summer to strengthen himself in the gym and generally become stronger and I would be delighted to see him back next season on loan. After a bad mistake early in the Fleetwood game back in November that gave away a goal he recovered well and had a very good game against one of the better teams in the division. He is a footballing centre half and in that match after his mis placed pass he had the CF in his pocket. That showed me he had a bit of character and did well and imo is the type of player we will start to develop ourselves with our increasing important youth development in years to come. I hope we could get Sweeney but if JCS were to come back I would be happy. And if Chelsea let us have him again that would be a very good sign. UTG! Sorry, have to disagree with you here. Frankly his performance against Millwall was a disgrace....look at their third goal where he showed absolutely no interest in closing down the player crossing the ball. It was not an error, it was just complete lack of desire / willingness to block the cross.....that one moment alone tells me that he is not the right player for us.....so good riddance I hope he does not come back.

Why? Because he doesn't follow the masses like a fuck1ng sheep? He is probably as fuck3d off as I am being associated with such bitterness, pathetic. Bit weird calling Tranmere plastic, though. Fair point 😀

Makes me laugh those trying to belittle FGR as a club and their crowds......FairPlay to them and good luck, wtf would anyone want a plastic scouse team in the league in preference to an excellent local non league team......it gives hope to all. For those mocking their crowds you are no different to the Ci*y fans who take the p**s out of our attendances........And just as l say to sh*theads, wtf has that got to do with anything!! So FairPlay to them, hope they do well next season, and some on her should stop trying to be superior......it is embarrassing! This is a troll right? Pardon? Someone sharing differing but in my opinion sensible views is a troll???
