Coach Paul Ince has insisted that no more first team players will be leaving the club this summer.
Ince told the Lancashire Evening Telegraph: “The door is shut now. The players can’t go, full stop. Clubs are trying to unsettle some of my players.
“I don’t like it. It’s my first job in the Premier League [...]

The Fight for Europe! (in Birmingham…)

By: David | Comments No Comments

Last weeks results all turned out fantastically well for the Rovers and their European hopes. If we win at Birmingham and Villa don’t at West Ham then it’s 6th place and a shot at the UEFA Cup through the Intertoto (how good does that sound? - lets hope we don’t muck it up this time [...]

Rovers fans be proud - money isn’t everything!

By: David | Comments 1 Comment

Money, get away.
Get a good job with good pay and youre okay.
Money, its a gas.
Grab that cash with both hands and make a stash.
New car, caviar, four star daydream,
Think I’ll buy me a football team.
Pink Floyd - Money
I’ve been worrying over the last few weeks that our lack of financial power could cause [...]

Rovers v Boro: Give Roberts A Chance

By: Dan Clough | Comments No Comments

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 [...]

A bad few days, it’ll be ok tomorrow

By: Dan Clough | Comments No Comments

Sorry I haven’t been updating this very often, busy time for a student at the minute!
Quick rundown, we were unbeaten in eight, lost at United, drew at Fulham then got beat at home by Villa. A rather convincing defeat brought us down to Earth with a bang, although the 4-0 scoreline heavily flattered The Villains.
Tomorrow [...]

Man Yoo v Rovers

By: Dan Clough | Comments 4 Comments

The trip to Old Trafford always seems impossible. A game in which 70,000 Cockneys and a sprinkling of Mancs will cheer the home team on to victory.
However, we are in good form, and have a good chance of causing yet another upset.
In the 2005/06 season we came away from United with a 2-1 win [...]

Pompey v Rovers

By: Dan Clough | Comments 2 Comments

Rovers travel to Portsmouth tonight to avenge the only league defeat this season by dumping Pompey out of the Beer Cup.
After being knocked of the UEFA Rovers have gone from strength to strength in domestic competition and we seem as likely as ever to pick up some silverware this year, and shake of the semi-final [...]

Jol’s gone!

By: Dan Clough | Comments 6 Comments

Now that Martin Jol has been sacked Spurs’ really do look like a team in trouble.
Only problem is, will they receive a boost from ‘new manager syndrome’?
So often it happens. A team sacks their manager and their fortunes improve, even if only for a little while, as the players try to make sure they don’t [...]
