Unbridled Passion.Love it.Thank goodness no VAR as in the Prem that moment of ecstasy is diluted with waiting for the VAR verdict. On an entirely different tangent ,will we ever see Rodman or Anssi again? Belshaw has been brilliant,but let's not forget Anssi is also an excellent GK. I suppose one will leave sooner or later because let's face it,they are both good enough for at least the 3rd tier. Great having 2 top GKs ,with a third developing nicely. When fit Rodders will have to be on his best form to get selected.Anderson has been a success.

Rodman's back in training, with regards to Anssi, I guess that will depend on Belly losing form or getting injured - assuming that Anssi is fit if the opportunity arises.

On an entirely different tangent ,will we ever see Rodman or Anssi again? Totally agree. I noticed that now everyone is waiting on VAR for so many decisions. A non-contact game managed by video. I am hearing so many stories about people turning their back on the game because it is rapidly turning into a farce. I tend to watch 20 minutes of games because of the lack of physicality.

Watching Belshaw from behind the goal yesterday underlined how good his kicking is, especially from the floor. His handling from crosses is also good and he is quick to play last man. You can tell a good keeper at Rovers as the crowd's confidence in him is almost palpable.

I’d be inclined to let Anssi go. We’ve got Belshaw and Ward, the club could put his probable 3k per week towards the salary for a striker, someone like the lad who played for Rochdale on Saturday. Imagine him interchanging the channels with Collins. Plenty goals!

Stats: BRFC 4 Rochdale 2 - 46 % - 54 % - Shots 15-11 - On Target 10-6 - Corners 3-7 - Fouls 11-13 - Yellows 0-1 - Reds 0-0 - Referee: James Linington - Attendance 6,215 The attendances are alarming and the last time we had a manager draw these kinds of numbers, he left. Swindon getting 8.5k. I imagine some will say about it being Christmas but we used to have more turn up, if only to avoid the shopping part

Not really alarming at all. Christmas, division 4 and Covid. After all, you said that "loads" were staying away because of it. Not sure where the empirical evidence is for that, but whatever. Apart from the successful recent years - Conference season onwards, figures are fairly in line with our contemporary average. www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bristol-rovers/besucherzahlenentwicklung/verein/2455

I’ll tell you what Alf, those people of a certain religious persuasion could easily be convinced it was the portent of a momentous occurrence! I`m sure that Mr TWD was convinced that God was trying to tell us something. If only we were intelligent enough to be able to understand. I think you will find no such thing as he doesn’t do religion. I will leave it there as he can speak for himself

If you don’t think its alarming then I’d bet Mr Gorringe and Wael would be worried by it.

I imagine some will say about it being Christmas but we used to have more turn up, if only to avoid the shopping part 6,215 is the official figure quoted, but the true number in the ground is probably even lower than that. Season-ticket holders are automatically included (tax reasons, already paid), so even if any season-ticket holder isn't attending due to JB / Covid-19 / Christmas shopping / looking a bit nippy outside / fair weather ... they're still included in the attendance.

Sorry, don't have the time and most definitely don't have the inclination to read all your posts.
You said (remarkably, some my say unbelievably) that you and loads of others caught Covid from a Rovers game and showed symptoms the next morning and were all staying away.
As for the figures, you have a different opinion to me. Again, don't have the time or inclination to get into a discussion.

Is that aimed at me, or are you talking to yourself? Thought you had gone away in a hissy fit and weren't going to post again until the manager had left? I'm here as enjoy watching my team at the Mem and in the occasional away game. You?

It was a question to you. You keep writing of your disdain for KP, Bambi, AMPG, Epping, me, this forum generally, and then write that you have no inclination to get into a discussion. I can't see the point.
That's why I'm here, to get into discussions. Why not try it - you used to?
I'll ignore the whining about a 'hissy fit' I'm not having as personal nonsense.

KP, Bambi, AMPG, Epping, me, this forum generally do we have the makings of the legendary, but never identified, clique?

To paraphrase Groucho Marx, I refuse to join any clique that would have me as a member.
