Very complimentary about Rovers saying we have are a very good team with an excellent manager and we have every chance of automatic promotion.

Is Jermaine Beckford still playing?
-
Is Jermaine Beckford still playing?
No he is a pundit on TV.
Was on BBC today.
-
Thank goodness for that. All I have heard today is Efan Okoku and Seb Hutchinson (From London) have a love-in about WHU and err, that other Northern team they were playing...bias doesn't even come into it. (Sent from a Northern, not from London oik!)
-
So can’t be the JB we’re supposedly interested in?
-
I didn’t get point Ekoku kept making about fitness levels going to tell and we would suffer against a Premier League side. He does realise we are not part time right, and we have probably played more games this season than West Ham? I know they will have some top sports scientists but we are a professional, full time outfit, not Armthorpe Welfare with lads training twice a week after work.
-
And tgey expected more physicality in the play from the 1st Div team
Do they think teams outside the Prem are all just a bunch of cloggers?
Mrs RR commented about how negative they were to anything we did especially Smiths effort that hit the bar

All through the game it was so obvious we were the lower league team WHU were playing and the remarks quite frankly, if they had been around sex or race would have made them both be enrolled by the BBC on an "unconscious bias" course!

Ian. Much more politely put than how our young 'un described it mate!

We played like Armthorpe Welfare today.
Cheltenham Town are making a much better fist of it against City at the moment.

We'd have played well against this City 11

Come on SS seriously, is that what you think. We were playing the most in form team in the premier league.
-

I think he actually played his very last game against Rovers for Bury before long-term injuries (beginning with the one he picked up that day) finished him off.
-
Thanks for that Janso
-

I think he actually played his very last game against Rovers for Bury before long-term injuries (beginning with the one he picked up that day) finished him off.
Almost, we were second to last. He made a very brief attempt to restart his career at the start of the following season, coming on for 13 minutes as a sub in the Bury home defeat by Carlisle on 22 September 2018. Doncaster lad Jerry Yates got sent off for Carlisle in the same game, on loan from Rotherham.

Not one for having a go at journalists/commentators for the sake of it, but that commentary on the BBC was dreadful today and extremely annoying to listen to.
Extremely patronising and belittling towards DRFC at times and there were so many occasions where they got their basic facts and players names wrong. You’d think they had done their research so putting it into practise should’ve been the easy bit.

That's no excuse for not doing the basics that we've done all season. Our passing was dreadful, and players like Butts and big Tom, who've been immense all season, had stinkers today.
Scared rabbits in the headlights is how I'd describe our lads today.

SS we were not playing Burton Albion today ( no disrespect to them ) but to say Anderson & Butler had stinkers is a statement that does not allow for the quality of the opposition they were up against.
I am not sure what you were expecting but it was exactly as i expected. That is the reason i put Lose on the P & O thread. First time in 2 years i have done that.
-
Paul, they were one of the few premiership teams at it from the off today and got the start they wanted. Moyes is doing a great job there and it was obvious he had made it plain what he expected from his team.

Exactly,West Ham are only 2pts behind last season premier league champions,they was really up for it today,much more than at Stockport,I think DM may have got it a little wrong,but not 4-0 wrong,West Ham's fitness and better players were on top of their game today,too good for us.They not currently doing so well for nothing.Disappointing,but if we going to get a beating,I'd rather it be against a good Premier league side in a cup game than the league.By the way,Im not certain,but think this is only the second time we have lost a game by more than 1 goal this season and that was a cup game too.Move on and lets hope we resume normal service against Afc Wimbledon.

Very complimentary about Rovers saying we have are a very good team with an excellent manager and we have every chance of automatic promotion.
Are you for real? I mean, honestly, you choose to start a thread totally based on some throw-away, bulls*it comments by a second-rate football pundit who speaks in never-ending excruciating cliches?
And we should be proud that he was complimentary about us?!
Well, if he says “we are a very good team with an excellent manager and we have every chance of automatic promotion” then that’s it then! Job done!
For heaven’s sake Campsall, I know you are a huge Leeds fan but that doesn’t mean we have to hang on to every dribble of every comment by one of their former players who talks absolute s**t most of the time.
I despair sometimes.

Pancho I just quoted what Beckford said today. Who said we should be proud about it. What the hell has Leeds United got to do with it.
Despair Pancho too right I do despair when I read that post
Get a life. Absolutely pathetic.
-
I have a life thank you.
‘Absolutely pathetic’ is how I would describe a thread about Jermaine Beckford’s opinions on our club’s fortunes.
-

Bang on. Which is what West Ham were today unfortunately.
DM said as much as did David Moyes.
Sometimes we just have to hold our hands up and accept that the opposition were much superior.
But to say we didn’t give it a go is not the way i saw it. West Ham just stifled us and never allowed us to play.
-
I have a life thank you.
%u2018Absolutely pathetic%u2019 is how I would describe a thread about Jermaine Beckford%u2019s opinions on our club%u2019s fortunes.
You made that very clear in your 1st post.
Well my apologies. :facepalm:

Just one final word from me on this thread ..... why?!

Janso I just quoted what Beckford said about Rovers on BBC. We all complain we rarely get a mention or anything complimentary said.
So I thought it was worth mentioning.
Bringing Leeds United into it is just totally irrelevant. But it is obviously a crime to mention anyone on this forum who has remotely got any history with Leeds.
These sarcastic comments do not do you any favours Janso. You are persistently posting them to other posters on here.
If we can’t have a sensible debate and discussion about Rovers and all things Football without stupid jibes then it is very sad indeed.
-
I have to agree with Campsall on this. Beckford was very complimentary about us. Does it matter who he has played for previously?
-
Early goal killed our belief, they are on form and many of them were performing to land a first team slot
-

Do you honestly think he'd have started a dedicated thread if someone like Danny Murphy had said nice things about us?

If we'd had the compliment from Pep Guardiola or Jurgen Klopp I could have understood it warranting a mention, but Jermaine bl***y Beckford!
Get real.
-
I’m sure that we would have had a thread on him if he had criticised us as much as some of our own fans have.

Well you obviously don’t know me do you clever dick.
It wouldn’t have mattered who had said it I would have posted it. The fact one of his many clubs was Leeds never even entered my head when I posted it.
Some of you are so hung up on the fact I used to support Leeds in the sixties and seventies it is unreal.
Apart from against Rovers I haven’t seen Leeds play live since the early 80’s
The fact is i am a die hard Rovers fan that travels the length of the country season after season and it’s just a pity some of you can’t accept it and continually try to post pathetic childish jibes.
End of conversation.
Some of you need to grow up.

You're the one who's constantly having meltdowns over other people's opinions.

Why what?
If Beckford or any other second rate pundit had said we were garbage and had no chance of getting out of L1 what would you have said then?
And just because Camps highlights it it's all to do with being an ex Leeds fan? Absolute bo!!ocks
-
Any Everton fans want to start a thread on Leon Osman being nice about Darren Moore?

Unfortunately ravenrover we have some on here because it is so easy to hide behind a keyboard, that they think it is open house to say what they like to who they like.
They would not say it to your face or my face because they are cowards.
You dare not post anything on here at the moment because you just get pathetic jibes fit for the school yard.
Discussion forum this is not at the moment. The jibes and abuse some of us are getting from just a small no of people is way out of line.
If you cannot start a new thread or politely disagree with someones opinion without receiving jibes and on occasions abuse then what is the point.
The vast majority on here are brilliant but we have about 6/7 at the moment who are imo a disgrace.
-
Campsall problem is you class EVERYTHING as abuse.

Jibes and occasional abuse is what i said. Do not make things up. Just look at the facts.
Padge go and read your your first reply to this thread. You need to go and take a look in the mirror.
I posted a totally innocent thread which you made into something it was not, to fit your own childish agenda.

Jeeze this thread just shows what is wrong with this forum. Think you all need your have a good look at yourselves and grow up

Nice one Brian.
Beckford does because he remembers his Leeds team getting outplayed at Wembley.
That is my last comment on this thread.
-
Beckford has surprised me on the radio with the quality of his broadcasting, he gives insightful comments about the game in the lower leagues and admits he draws a lot from the experiences of actually playing at that level whether with Leeds or Scunthorpe on the Talksport 2 station that does actually give some air time to our lesser lights.
I can't remember Murphy speaking much about where he came from at Crewe, but has a lot to say about himself playing in the Premiership, and has been known to belittle callers who as he says have never played the game. He is full of himself.
-
Sorry to disagree but Murphy did a long chat with Jim White about his time at Crewe and his early days at Liverpool
-
Murphy is my least favourite pundit around, and that takes some doing. He's miserable, cynical, incredibly biased towards Liverpool and Spurs, and generally ignorant of anything he talks about regarding teams outside the top six or anything tactically.
He clearly thinks a lot of himself from his brief time as a stand-out player alongside Steven Gerrard.

I actually got honk Danny Murphy was a very underrated player. He was quality.
Gash pundit, mind.

Question is. Who is currently the best and worst pundit out there?
Best - Gary Neville
Worst - Jermain Jenas
For me that is.
