Crewe away the year we got relegated was pretty bad..
Hartlepool last season was dreadful..
-
Fleetwood at home other year
-
which game was it where our highlights went viral? where it was literally the whistle blowing for full time as the only highlight :lol:
-
It was embarrassing on rovers player. So glad I didn't spend petrol money and gate money to watch them. 4 games without a goal !

Fleetwood

its sad to end like this because it puts a negative on the season even when really its mission accomplished, just like last year.
Not sure fergie has helped with all the changing and playing players who clearly have no future

Yes, it was a 0-0 draw towards the end of the season and was the game when I decided that I wouldn't be renewing my season ticket.
I just go when I feel like it now and am glad I didn't choose to go tonight.
-
Didn’t go tonight as working late thank god. Caught the second half of the Scunthorpe game on sky. They look a very good side. Just shows what can be done. They have a lot smaller gates than us so surely we can put something together next season that’s competitive!
-
Not all
To do with gates though, they’ve spent a lot of money the last few years
-
Absolutely appalling, Im sick of watching the slow build up, no width, one step forwards followed by three back and no creativity. I’ve been watching the Rovers for almost 50 years and I don’t think even in the darkest years when we were relegated out of the league that I’ve been so bored watching the rovers.
I said after the Bury game that we wouldn’t win another game and we won’t . Coppinger in Rowes absence is the one player who can open a defence, why wasn’t he even on the bench ?.
After Saturday he’s got all summer to recover.
-
I’ve watched Rovers for over forty years now. I’ve not been tonight so I’ve nothing to say about the match but I will say in all the years supporting them I’ve yet to see a barnstorming end of season run in once the season has effectively ended with five or six games to go. I do remember season 78/79 though when the last game of the season saw a brilliant 4-3 win at Grimsby who still had an outside chance of winning division four whilst Rovers were already canvassing votes for re-election. A repeat of that on Saturday would send everyone off into the summer happy.
-
I have seen worse. I was expecting a 0-0 and there were a couple of fleeting moments when I thought either side was trying to score but I think they just managed enough to convince the authorities it wasn't a stitch up. Maybe.

That is a fair comment, thing is we sort of limped over the line of safety rather than fought our way there. Since then we've been on the beach

The 3-0 defeat away at Mk dons the year we went up was just about the worse rovers performance I’ve seen in recent years. Tonight was the worse game as a whole. Both teams were awful
-
Few SOD games were abysmal. That early game away at Scunny. Then losing away at Barnsley when they played with ten men all game. Then the embarrassment away at Reading one year. Alll gutless and dreadful in equal measure.

We’ve never even looked like being relegated, so limped over the line is absolute nonsense

No contest. April 1 1967: Swansea 6 Doncaster 0; both teams relegated that season.
Good job we did better in South Wales exactly 40 years later to the day.
-
It is a fact that we were only finally safe from relegation in the 44th game. Most folk would say that is limping over the line. Granted, some might not.
-
We’ve never looked like being relegated, never been in the relegation zone all season and we’re sitting comfortably in 14th place with one game to go.
Not limping over the line I’m afraid no matter how much you may wish we were
-
I’ll chuck in the 0-5 at Port Vale in 1988. Team full of promising youngsters out of their depth and totally let down by the older pros. I don’t think I ever saw a more dispiriting performance from a Rovers team outside the 97/98 season which doesn’t count.
-
Tonight's game was the epitome of an end of season game where your team has nothing to play for. Wimbledon came for a point and they got it, we didn't have the creativity to break them down.
It's not something I'll be losing sleep over, not sure why anyone gets het up about such things. One bloke stood at the bottom of the South Stand near the game was furious, called Fergie "that Scottish bas**rd" and repeatedly said he needs to be sacked...I'm amazed we have any fans left because most are barrelling towards a heart attack and subsequent early demise.
-
Millwall the year we went down. 0-0. We had a man sent off unfairly early in the game and that killed any chance of it being interesting...

Remember that one. A Tuesday night game. Embarrassing performance.

I recall a game against leek town, xmas time.
Think we lost 0-1, that was dreadful
-
Peterborough away 2 seasons ago; lost 0-4; Butler and McCullough both looked like they were running through treacle, and Oztumer took the p*ss out of us the whole game.

Frickley at home
-
What a difference a week makes. The title of the thread after the Blackburn match (which we lost) was Magnificent!!
-
Exactly its about performance and how you feel after the game not just the result and at the moment its poor, i was hoping securing safety might mean we'd go for it and try to entertain but it looks like thats too much effort
-
If we've got our two most creative players missing what do you expect against a big strong robust side like Wimbledon who are scrapping for their lives. I don't think people realise how competitive football at that level is! They've got Harry Forrester on the bench, they are no mugs at all.

The fickle nature of a football fan

Dickos if you go to a restaurant and have a great meal you will be very happy. Go back the next week and have a poor meal then you will be unhappy.
Football is no different. If I had spent my usual petrol, ticket and refreshment money to watch an inept turgid performance would I not have a right to be disappointed.
I listened on iplayer last night and it sounded awful. At least I wasn't driving back and getting home at 11o'clock.

Now that post puts a proper perspective on what people are trying to say.
Nothing in the last few games, perhaps with the exception of against Blackburn, will encourage people to buy season tickets, or even go to games, next season.
-
It’s not the same at all
Everytime I go out for a meal I expect it to be nice that’s why I’ve chosen the restaurant.
I have thousands of different restaurants to choose from.
You may be different to me but I don’t have an array of football clubs to support.
If that’s your view then maybe you should choose Man City to go and watch every week.
Owners have been caught out calling fans customers in the past and the backlash has been severe, youve just done the same

After watching Rovers since 1958 it's a bit late to change allegiance now isn't it.
They are my team always have been and always will be. I made the decision not to renew my season ticket two years ago because of the cost of petrol etc. I now choose my games but I think every fan of a club has a right to express their disappointment of a game, player or team. Some are more volatile than others but that is same in every aspect of life. Football is now an expensive hobby and there are far more alternatives now than when I started watching games. I live in Bradford and if rumours are correct there will be between 12,500 and 14,000 STHs there next year. That is a hell of a drop and shows what happens when fans become disillusioned. They may be the glory hunters but it is still money lost to the club.

Exactly. Football is supposed to be an entertainment business. I don’t expect a 46 cracking matches a season but what I do expect is the level of commitment shown in the recent Blackburn match every match. We lost but we gave it everything against a very good side, so you can live with that.
If we had shown that level of commitment against the teams below us we would have almost certainly won them.

Glad that most of us can understand that.

We should've lost 10-0 that day, and it pissed it down for 8 hours straight.
If people don't think we're any further forward than when Fergie came in (that game was in his first week in charge) then they are either very forgetful or choose not to remember the state we were in then.

That is three that have commented on here though. How many more don't come onto this forum. I'm not moaning for moaning's sake but have a right to voice an opinion just as you have.
I have seen many highs and lows and 28th of August will be the 60th year of me watching the Rovers. I don't boo and shout abuse at our players and always stay until the end whatever the score. We were supposedly freshening up the team and also shooting more. That didn't materialise so no wonder some are disappointed with last night's performance. I admire your loyalty but refusing to see any negatives is just as ridiculous as refusing to see any positives. Most fans want to see the team do well, some are more vocal or impatient than others but surely we all want the same in the end.

Well said Idler, that is the point I am trying to make to Dickos but he’s having none of it. :headbang:

Idler, you say “it might be three on here” which I assume means this particular thread.
That in itself is not right because there are at least half a dozen people indicating displeasure on this thread alone.
The prize for best comment has to go to Donnywolf by the way!
Across the forum it is much more than that.
Whether it is a “dead rubber game” for us or not, people want to see us perform better than we have done recently (yes.... except for against Blackburn) and hopefully score a goal or two.

Thing is the majority who come on here do so just to moan.
I’ve frequently had private messages from people saying they don’t post on here due to the constant negativity.

Yes I agree there are some who do. The majority do not though which includes myself. We are just posting on what we see and if it comes across as being negative to you well quite frankly that’s your problem isn’t it. We don’t all see everything that is Rovers through rose tinted glasses. Some of us live in the real world.
-
It’s not just me though is it, other people have posted today stating the forum is just full of negativity and they don’t know why they bother logging on.
Not saying you campsall,
But there’s people on here who pretend they’re being positive but there’s always a “but” at then end.
Yes we’re playing well but we’ve only played the shit teams
Yes we won but we were awful
The rest of the time they just spout negative drivel constantly

Yes I agree with you, one person in particular without mentioning any name. Totally pathetic as he never has anything constructive to say. Just slags the club off at every opportunity.
