15th Place, So Long Tugay. Vote for your POY
By: Jimmy |Well, Tugay’s gone. Carlos gone. Ooijer: Gone. And Now, Mokoena; Gone. (clicky click click) Not too sure I’m that upset about the last one.
Let the silly season begin. For me, still playing in the top flight after the first half of the year we had is more then okay with me. We’ll strive to [...]
So Much News
By: Jimmy |Happy Trails

Back From Break & Better Than Before
By: Jimmy |First things first: SAMBA UP FRONT!?!?!?! GENIUS!
Well Rovers took a break for international duty last week and I used that time to catch up on some work and keep my GPA game up. But the lads are back and so am I, but I’m not the one stopping The Spuds’ six-match unbeaten league run.
Rovers started [...]
Some one call the WHAMbulance
By: Jimmy |West Ham Hammers tomorrow. Roque: Out. Vince Grella: Out. Ryan Nelsen: Late Fitness Test. Gaël Givet: Late Fitness Test. That’s looking pretty bleak.

Rovers 1-2 Cheating Red Scum w/ highlights
By: Jimmy |Rovers tasted defeat Saturday but then again, who picks up points at OT? (The place where opposition penalties don’t exist.)
Aside from Ryan Nelson doing all that he could to slow down and help the ball along for Shrek, Rovers did a lot right. The 4-1-4-1 Big Sam threw out had a shaky start, but by [...]

By: Jimmy |First the little apology, then onto the Notlob.
A small “I’m sorry” to readers of the Rovers Offside for lack of updates. My first week back at school just ended and I am re acclimating to the Uni life again. Normal service will resume asap. Moving on…

Sunderland….again
By: Jimmy |We play Sunderland again tomorrow in the 4th round of the FA cup. We’ve beaten them every time we’ve met in this competition but I feel like we’ve played them so much this year already that it could be any ones game. According to the official site, Roque gets the start while Roberts, Dunn and [...]
