A friendly arranged as part of a player's transfer, who has since left the club. Quite funny in a way

It's uphill all the way with Clint now in temporary charge. Hope we can finally get our first pre season win and some of the new signings on the scoresheet.
Is Hanlan and Rodman now fit and available ?

Can you see a pattern of Covid cases increasing with the summer football, as people gathered, now slowly decreasing again. Anybody who doesn't want to get ill or who has exposure to someone in an 'at risk' group should stay well away, in my opinion. That's before we even introduce the moral argument of pointing out that every single attendee endorses the fact that B***** is still employed by Rovers and that they've issued a statement that would disgust and shock me even if it came out of BS3. The only hope is that his brief period away is extended, a lot... Then we need to sack whoever's in charge of media and communication.

Disagree it shows support of B***** etc. There will be those that just want to see their team.

Can`t you afford both? Times can`t be that hard, not even for aquatic wild fowl.

I`m happy to hand over my hard earned. Been doing it for 40 years. I`ll enjoy my evening and hope you do too.

Heading towards pariah club status - that's what happens when you associate yourself in such a high profile way with people like B***** and his cronies.
Just cheering for laundry at this point really.

Everybody will make their own decision, and nobody has to justify that decision, however, what course of action is available to us to register our feelings at B***** still being here and the disgraceful statement issued yesterday other than empty terraces?

I love that 'cheering for laundry' line. It's slightly redolent of the whole Wimbledon / MK Dons thing - this isn't what I've always supported, and I resent it dressing up in my clothes. We've had enough down periods in the past but, unlike that example, there was always a sense of 'this too will pass'. I've had enough practice being associated with under-performance, but I'm ashamed to be associated with *this*, and I think there will need to be a long probationary period for me to recognise fundamental change after the inevitable ending in tears of this man's presence. My support is pretty much down to a holding pattern and granting of that probationary period.

Hopefully the game goes well today. I'm in Corfu, so won't be looking for any coverage. ๐๐ฌ๐ท
As for morals,I have absolutely no problem with my decision to renew my season ticket this season. My support is for BRFC, not transients like managers and owners. In no way does that support mean tacit or other approval of the headbanger that's manager, or the deluded child that's owner.

Definitely I support everyone who will refuse Rovers until B*****'s removed, as I choose, but I support too everyone who will support their club regardless. You know what I think, but I respect how we differ.

Toothless attack, no midfield guille, defence prone to make mistakes...just like last season

My support is pretty much down to a holding pattern and granting of that probationary period. It is a great- it belongs to Jerry Seinfeld and quite a lighthearted take on being a fan. I find it more appropriate for moments like this though. Ie. There does come a point where you question what it is that you are actually supporting. I think everyone has their line somewhere and if you're lucky you never get to find out where that line is. Sadly over the years many Rovers fans have found where their line is.

Whatโs the line from the ground. Looking hard to beat and the goals will surely come?
What sort of reaction did Hill get?
