I thought that. Maybe he's back in Australia.

Drat. He's gone to gazump us on the Prince signing.

A few points to pick you up on there. Do you really expect anyone with half a brain cell to b3elieve a word you say about speaking to our players? Why on earth would they tell a pathetic troll like you that they don't like their boss? Sad sack.

Can you really see no correlation between facilities and gates? I suppose you never noticed your own gates more than double between seasons when moving from the dump to the KC?

To be honest, I don't know why I even bother. You clearly don't have the intellectual capacity to grasp anything approaching reasonable debate. There are 2 clear groups of trolls who frequent this board. Group 1 includes JTP, Mrs B and a few others who, despite being as irritating as an itchy scrotum from time to time, have the ability to raise intelligent points or at least inject some humour. Group 2 includes yourself, FCGimp and many others. The common characteristic here is a total lack of wit, coupled with learning difficulties and possible history of trauma. Our board is your reluctant therapist. Do us a favour and use the Hull to Manchester train instead (or the Humber Bridge, you decide). This will save us from having to reply, and ultimately save the taxpayer a few quid in the process.

well said stan this guy is and alwayes will be a

and

well said stan i must be out the loop all these fc fans seem to get to talk to all our players and me a rovers fan cant get to talk to any of them

Spot on Stan!

I however, do speak to a few of the under 19s, many of which not only have the upmost respect for Sandy, but say he has helped them develop, regularly discussed ways to help them improve, has watched all youth games and even goes over the DVD's with them to show areas of improvement.

Kinnell. The special school's internet is working again.

Tell you what, Stan. Lets see if you manage to get that mythical 10,000 break-even gate at least once next year.

In fact, it will be higher now, to cover the loan from the fruitlook Egyptian and the cost of the stand.

It seems I touched a nerve, judging by the reply. Have you considered help for your knee-jerking?

The best improvement we can hope for is an improvement in the standard of trolling hahahahahaha

Oh I'm wasted on here....

Why will the break even figure be higher? I would suggest it will be lower due to the board already stating we won't be operating at (or near) full cap in 2013. As far as I'm aware, there is no payback terms to the Allam's gift/soft loan, so as usual, you are wrong there. Do you even know what % of the mortgage Rovers are liable for?

I have no nerves to touch, just a zero tolerence approach to cretins.

Lets all calm down a tad.
Ta.

isnt it fruitloop

Do your job then.

I'm not going to ban someone just because YOU want me to.
I have already had a conversation with HH about the issue but that doesn't give you permission to get abusive because you don't like everything he says.
Also just so you are aware this isn't my JOB my JOB is working elsewhere.

nobody likes anything he says cant he be banned for been a boring ++++++

Surely a yellow card for the use of 'kinnel' by HH or does this give us licence to use 'French Connection UK' or other connotations!

I kinda like HH, speaks a lotta sense that kid, hmmm
If you don't feed him he will wither and die

I'm touched

I'm pretty suprised you made the troll first team to Jake.

I've just laughed out loud in the office over this thread, and so I would say keep it going

Hudge did a bit of contract work for Brisbane!

Picking thro the various responses to the Qs I posed, before it was derailed by the usual Rovers v FC squabbling

, there appears to be a consensus* that Rovers 2013 squad is weaker, and will struggle to reach the play-offs.

The main concern is the lack of depth in the squad, and in particular the lack of experienced leaders. This last point underlines a concern that perhaps there is too much reliance on youth.

With regards to improvements, most posters have flagged the defence and would (perhaps) see Rovers prospects for next season improved if they were to sign an experienced prop and a full back.

In conclusion, then, this is probably the first time I have felt a wave of negativity from Rovers supporters. Perhaps this is understandable considering the NH/RC-led debate on Rovers future and the selling of two of the clubs prize assets. However, and accepting the strength of argument about the lack of depth in the squad, the spine of the team has been retained which is somewhat overlooked IMO. Also, Rovers replacements for Clinton and Webster are a vast improvement although it remains to be seen if Burns and Paterson will be the impact players CS hopes they will be.

I am actually confident and positive about Rovers 2013 squad.


On paper it doesn’t appear to be skewed to the left, which is a huge positive, and whilst I agree great expectations are being placed on youth, the SL experience they gained last season cannot be discounted (a point I was trying to put across in my response).

Even though I am hopeless at predictions I feel 7/8th is a realistic target, but I would be a lot happier if the squad were bolstered by at least 2 experienced players.

*the consensus is not what one would safely call a representative sample although IMO the ‘respondents’ are of the more learned type

compared to others on these threads

.

im quite confident about next season weve lost a few players but apart from taylor they have been replaced with better we do need some squad players but were months away from the new season so no panic

How many have you released/sold and how many coming in?

Just wondering about your depth next year.

Come on now.
You know the answer just as well as I do.
As proved by your next line.
If you were any more transparent you would be made of glass.
