JB said that Exeter weren't at fault. So if they notified us of the strip they were playing in at least 7 days in advance (as per the rules), we were too late in telling them our intentions and/or thought we could just play in that horrible mish-mash anyway. Whatever is was, someone at Rovers dropped a clanger. In hindsight we should have worn the green and yellow quarters again - just the job under lights. How have you come to that conclusion? |

Pretty obvious, I would have said. |

Surely the buck stops with JB, given he's the one most likely to have seen Exeter play in their away strip this season and must have known Rovers were intended playing in their away strip? It seems a stupid idea anyway unless the away side play in their home kit. |

The post itself explains how I came to that conclusion. Everything I've written leads up to it. Perhaps you've misread it. In my OP I provided a link to the article where JB says it's an administrative faux pas, that Exeter weren't to blame, and uses words such as 'farce' and 'calamity'. You are fully entitled to think sending out the team in that horrible mish-mash against Exeter's strip, forcing us to change at half-time, doesn't constitute someone at Rovers dropping a clanger. And I am fully entitled to think the opposite. |

An administrative faux pas - including the fact that the League did not pick up that there would be a clash with the kits which each club registered for the game, as per their regulations. I don't need schooling in the fact that each poster is entitled to their own opinion. As far as I understand it, forums have always worked on that basis, although I'll admit that this one does rather depend whether you're in with the "old school" crowd (in my opinion, of course). |

I don't know why I'm having to explain myself. It was a perfectly understandable post. But you ask me how I came to a conclusion, when the sentence was self explanatory. Then you ask me to 'enlighten you'. I'm now forced to provide an explanation. I had hoped you'd reply to agree you'd misread my post. I see you've made a slight edit since I first read your reply, a nice smiley face added, but you've left the accusation that I'm schooling you on how forums work. That is completely wrong. No such intention whatsoever. I'm trying to respond to your questioning. You seem to be fixed on the words before the 'and/or'. That I have to prove where the fault lies. Focus instead on the words after the 'and/or'. I am fully entitled to think sending out the team in that horrible mish-mash constitutes someone at Rovers dropping a clanger. |

Just let it go over your head. Most of that old clique have left anyway. Most are fair, in my opinion but it can depend on mood or maybe even full moons 😂. Carry on as i enjoy your posts and honesty, regardless of whether i agree or not. This is a place where we should be able to discuss but try to be well mannered, I’d hope. |

I remember now what I meant to say!
On a game on Ifollow, after the Exeter match, I had the opposition commentary on and they stated that the refs check the kit colours online one week before the match is due. I think it's a new innovation for this season. So maybe had more of a sat in this than botched club admin
