Quote ="airliebird9"Local pride and bragging rights still matter to some people and therefore any league or cup game against Rovers is a must win fixture!
Yes we have had a very disappointing season.
Yes we are not challenging for silverware.
Yes it is highly unlikely we will make the play-offs
But finishing above Rovers, regardless of how many derby fixtures each team has won is HUGE in my book!!!
It's a long winter looking up the league table at those b'tards.......'"
You are clutching at a big bunch of straws.
As a Rovers fan i wont be sitting or standing harping on about finishing above FC this season as id mearly be painting over the crap that has been served up.
Think if you took the mantle that we are not important (and install that into the players) then you may find some of these 6pt losses turn into wins and then you'd be miles ahead anyways.
I see FC as only important in the lead up to a game, Wigan are important today.
Id gladly lose all 3 derbies in a season to finish top 4-6.
