To put it simply, I think you brush over the pounds and concentrate on the penny. A very wide and general metaphor. Pay notice to the plurals and lack plurals carefully placed within said metaphor ...but I am not here to change opinion, just offer a different perspective that you didn't go into detail enough for my own personal liking. Hey, we're all different. You say you'll be there after TG goes on to brighter and better things....cool..... what's not to like? Not super keen on metaphors, but as you started it, this is Tom's world; He's a flighty young estate agent who messes up the sale of a house in a soft market and gets you £300k instead of the potential £310k you may have achieved had he paid attention to detail. You are the happy seller who thinks he's brilliant because your last estate agent wasn't an estate agent at all and didn't sell your house, he came from a different industry altogether and, in truth, was a bit rubbish at the job. but he was a great guy. I'm the unhappy seller, frustrated because Tom insists that I pay for his ''professional'' services, but he's just cost me £10,000. Here's a real world example of what I'm talking about. Don't you think that when he's negotiating renewals with a client, the conversation would be just a tiny bit smoother if he could produce the season ticket benefits email, say that all databases are rationalised and every single ticket holder has that email, and oh look, there's your brand, placed in front of the supporters' faces, not sure why I did that, I was just thinking of you when making up that promotional email, no, of course there's no charge, happy to do that for you. But no, he used Mintbet, who are no longer trading. That's brain dead. You say it's counting pennies, I say small leaks sink big ships and attention to detail is everything. We shall see how much he has benefitted the club in the accounts, I guess ?

Beneath you, Bambi. 1. Crates asked you a question. 2. You didn't answer it. 3. Thus Crates's point is made. 4. You didn't make a point. Don't get me wrong. I like sneering Bambie. I enjoy supercilious Bambie. I love cantankerous Bambie. But you're in danger of making a pointless caricature of yourself here. I disagree with Crates's implication, though. Taylor left in disgrace because of the dishonest way in which he cooked up a minimum release fee with Lansdowne to shaft our season's chances, with contempt for Rovers supporters. Lines, I presume, returned to us to be back home in Bristol. I don't suppose he came to Conference Rovers for the money. Therefore Lines retains class and respect Taylor doesn't. Cheer up, Bambie. The thing is my Duckbilled friend, Crater has no interest in dialogue or any kind of banter, or even teasing. His/her posts towards me look very much like weak attempts at sniping and points scoring, always in the hope that I'll say something that will leave an open goal for a 'Gotcha' reply. The James O'Brien of this forum maybe? The answers, if Crater actually wanted them, are contained in my previous posts on the subject. I'm perfectly happy, but would be happier if Crater would lay down a bit of a challenge and we could have a proper dust up I disagree. But it doesn't actually seem that you and Crater disagree particularly. It's not only me who has the arse with Taylor, but from your comments you seem happy with Taylor's ionconduct. That says more about you than me. See you soon when you try, and fail again to make some kind of point. Where on this thread did I say I was happy or unhappy with Taylor's conduct? Please explain as attention to detail is eveything. For the record I had no beef with Linesy moving elsewhere as in all likelihood he trebled his salary and went to play for one of English footballs big named clubs. He remained a fan throughout and I recall having a brief chat with him at the away Rotherham match at The Don Valley. His passion and love for the club has never been in doubt and as it seems likely his Rovers career is reaching the end I'll warmly shake his hand the next time I see him and wish him well. I had plenty of beef with Taylor leaving...his destination and the timing being my main objections. It seems I may have got under your skin somewhat Bamber... lets be friends and wear our hats at a jaunty angleAmen. I can't wait to see you both in your hats. This is lovely, gentlemen. More, please.

Wrong thread! Looks like poor old Padstow will be in the firing line for a bit and I can have a day off maybe?

Looks like poor old Padstow will be in the firing line for a bit and I can have a day off maybe? Wrong thread? The subject had become Sir Bambie of Gasgroin. So no, this is absolutely the right thread. You're right otherwise, though. The subject if the Chris Lines thread is now... ...take a bow, my good north-Cornishman. Chris Lines should play for us next season. I'd love to see Katerina on Chris Lines passes.

Get out of here, you made that post on a template and shovelled it onto the wrong thread, it's OK, I won't tell anyone. Yes, Linesey can play for another 50 years, maybe not at Rovers, I suspect that Padstow has his wires crossed and Chris is leaving but not retiring maybe?

Could well be right I had a few drops of falling down liquid after the game I think this is it. Was told a while back that he was off at the end of the season. Not confirmed, just rumour, but that's what I heard.

Lines and now Sercombe overhit them woefully. Yeah, see that Sercombe bloke, all he managed on Saturday was to pick out big useless JCH a with a right wing corner, and then what does he go and do, allows the ball to bounce off of his head and can't even hit the goalkeeper, if that net wasn't there the ball would have gone miles! That's very funny. Of course I'm delighted when Liam or anyone whips one into the path of total centre forward Katerina. I'm sad that I missed it. When I've been at the Mem this year, we've been rubbish at corners. Still funny though, Bambie.

I only heard about the retiring rumour and his response, on here

I only heard about the retiring rumour and his response, on here For what it's worth, I think that he's not playing because; A. His legs are shot and he can't keep up with the insane pace that the game moves at these days. B. His game isn't physical enough for this manager. Maybe, if a new manager arrives in the summer then Chris will still be here in Aug, but I think that this will be his last season with us.

Ian Atkins period of manure comes to mind I agree, we should never have appointed him. Relegation would have been much better. And then to top it off he went and recruited the core of the squad that got us promoted under Tollope. Utter rubbish. Atkins out! My Bambie's an Atkinsite?!

Utter rubbish. Atkins out! My Bambie's an Atkinsite?! Not at all, it was just a punt, but it worked out. I just think that it's bordering on rude to criticise what he did for us. We needed points, we got points. What's the issue exactly?

What's the issue exactly? Is anything that prevents relegation okay? In the third or fourth divisions, then yes. Is anything that gets promoted okay? In the fourth and fifth divisions, then yes. Being in the top three divisions matters. So I take your point about Atkins. I didn't enjoy it, but we started moving up. I haven't enjoyed Coughlan, by we stayed up. I hope that Rovers can play more now. Every manager gets twenty-four months from me. After that, then we must go back to exciting.

I would like to think that Rovers would never stoop to a Suarez penalty incident, Henry double handball, Maradona Hand of God, that's not winning, it's just cheating. I would rather lose. If Coughlan isn't given a decent budget he may as well walk now and protect his CV.
