A Quiet Deadline Day
By: Dan Clough |As a quieter than usual deadline day draws to a close let us reflect on the signings Rovers have made…
Oh hang on, we’ve only made one! An 18 year old Irish defender - One for the future.
I really hope we don’t pick up any injuries in midfield from now until the end of the season [...]
Andy Cole Sells His Soul
By: Dan Clough |He’s become one of them…
Villa 1 - 1 Rovers
By: Dan Clough |A good performance from Rovers in a game we could, and should, have taken all three points. A penalty miss from Matt Derbyshire and a fine performance from England hopeful Scott Carson in the Villa goal left us frustrated.

Bolton 1 - 2 Rovers highlights
By: Dan Clough |Sorry for the delay!
Rovers 1 - 1 Boro
By: Dan Clough |I’m sick of reflecting on games where we have played shite. This, I’m afraid to say, is one of the worst!
A poor performance. How Boro did not win this game is difficult to fathom, probably a testament to where they find themselves in the league table.
Highlights are below, watch out for the diabloical tackle on [...]
Rovers v Boro: Give Roberts A Chance
By: Dan Clough |I’ve always rated Jason Roberts and after his winner at Bolton on Sunday it’s time he was given a chance.
Benni McCarthy has been nothing more than shite for a good few weeks now and it seems the perfect time to put him on the bench, giving Roberts a start up front with Santa.
Rovers should have [...]
Takeover is dead
By: Dan Clough |As has been my expectation for some time now, the Daniel Williams takeover bid is dead.
The Jack Walker trustees, despite wanting to sell their 99.8% stake in the club, have been unwilling to reduce their valuation of the club and so the deal has fallen through.
I saw this coming. After all the exciting talk at [...]
Reserves/Youth/Ladies update
By: Dan Clough |Reserves
Newcastle away - 4-2 (Keith Treacy, Marcus Marshall, Josh O’Keefe Jamie Clarke)
Bolton away - 1-0 (Keith Treacy) (Keith Treacy sent off)
The reserves play Bolton again tonight in the Lancashire Cup quarter final at Morecambe, they beat Bolton in last year’s final 6-2! They are currently fifth in the ten team league but with games in [...]
January transfer rumours update
By: Dan Clough |In
- Amdy Faye. Although this may be stopped by the red tape (see previous post)
- Michael Owen. Not very likely if you ask me but has been suggested.
- Valeri (insert long surname). Bulgarian striker has had problems making it hard for Hughes to make a proper assessment during his trial. Fee believed to be around [...]
Keegan Saves The Day!
By: Dan Clough |Possibly the worst appointment ever but it suits us!
Keegan’s appointment at Newcastle means Sparky will stay with us until Ferguson retires/croaks.
In other news Rovers attempts to sign Amdy Faye look to have gone tits up. The Senegalese midfielder has played for Charlton and Rangers already, and according to some ridiculous rule he can’t play for [...]
