Chant for Sunday

[balbyrover]

Many of these are too obvious and he will be fairly immune to them, even use them as a way of focusing. Chanting his name in a weird way or something else more random is the way to unnerve him. Gotta defocus him.

We did the weird chanting of the keeper's surname a good few years ago at some away games - cant think where - and I remember commenting to my mate at the time that it must be bloody scary/off putting for the poor sod.

Stevenage i think.. sung at him constantly. 
I actually felt sorry for him when we nicked it in the last minute. Cant remember the goalkeepers name.

[knockers]

Mmmm In what way will singing about their players motivate ours?

[Donnywolf]

... it wont

& although some may think it is splitting hairs / semantics he is not a murderer in the eyes of the Law (as I posted earlier)

[philsky]

Not a fan of this...

...sorry if I'm in the minority here, but I'm just not comfortable with the deaths of two innocent children being used as a source for 'banter'.

Have a go at him for getting in Mandeville's ear by all means, but the above just doesn't sit right with me.

Agree totally. 


Like wise.  Wrong.

Probably on my own here but didn't see what he did wrong in reverse fixture. Lack of sportsmanship maybe but we're here to win games not make friends. Whilst I can't fault Copps for sticking up for Mandeville you put your hand on someone's throat you're taking an early shower. He wanted a reaction and we gave it too him.

Thankfully it doesn't look like it's coming back to bite us any time soon. (Touch wood).

[normal rules]

Im sure he does'nt need reminding of his previous. I guess he will wake up every day and think about it. That is his true punishment - for the rest of his life. He will be somewhat immune to the banter, ive no doubt he has heard it all before. I can only imagine the grief he gets when they play their local rivals Exeter!

Rise above it fellow Rovers supporters. We are better than this.
Support the team. If the worst happens and they get a result - the banter may make you feel better about yourself at the time, but believe me - he will be the one laughing at 4-50pm.

Rise above it fellow Rovers supporters. We are better than this.

my sentiments exactly - our abuse should be reserved for honest, hardworking professional footballers who are a pain in the arse on the pitch and try their utmost to confound our ambitions during the 90 minutes for which they're ranged against us but who are normal blokes for the rest of the week and the rest of their lives; shitfaced child killers are beneath contempt and we should not dignify their like by wasting our bile on them; ignore him.

He has had the jitters in goal of late, let him be his own downfall. Dodgy goalkeeper might have more impact.

Plymouth vs Notts County

This is worth watching for the comedy of errors by defender and keeper for Notts C's goal.
