A bad few days, it’ll be ok tomorrow
By: Dan Clough |Sorry I haven’t been updating this very often, busy time for a student at the minute!

Fulham 2 - 2 Rovers (plus highlights)
By: Dan Clough |Rovers should have come away from Craven Cottage after a dominant performance but, alas, it wasn’t to be.
The first half was poor. No excitement, no atmosphere and no real chances until right at the end. Rovers had the best of the scoring opportunities but were unable to put any of them away.
The second half was [...]

Close your eyes, go on, trust me. (Although it would make it difficult to read, so maybe just half close them)
Now think back four years, Graeme Souness was in charge.
It’s the begininning of the season and expectations among the fans [...]
United 2 - 0 Rovers
By: Dan Clough |Ahh so the run is over.
Rovers were beaten by the best team in England in the toughest stadium to play in.
Samba hit the bar from 30 yards and Bentley and Santa Cruz had chances but a lapse in concentration at a corner gave United the lead, Ronaldo heading it past Friedel. Then, almost instantly, we [...]
