Oldham V Rovers

[nice one rovers]

Keegan off / syers on.

[Barmby Rover]

Thankfully Keegan is off, should never have started, can't cope with any pace at all.

[ScillyRover]

Where's Robbie Blake appeared from.

I was wondering that unless he sneaked on while RP was offline

My bad, too much rum yesterday!

[ScillyRover]

Come on... let's see if we can nick this 

[DonnyOsmond]

Rovers come into it now we've got Syers on.

[nice one rovers]

We've just been robbed of a goal over the line, and foul in the box. Bent ref!

[DonnyBazR0ver]

2 golden chances. Claims for a goal and claims for a penno.

[Barmby Rover]

Syers making a difference, a midfielder at last.

[MachoMadness]

Shock horror, we put a bit of energy in the middle of the park and all of a sudden things improve! Syers has to start over Keegan/Harper now he's fit. Preferably drop Keegan as Harper has a bit more technical ability, which Syers still lacks.

Bugger, to say we're supposedly only near the top on luck (we're not, by the way), we're not having much of it today are we?

[DonnyOsmond]

Last time we played Oldham the game changed with Syers introduction. We can't keep playing with Keegan and Harper together. The midfield needs Woods or Syers in there... or Wellens.

Ball was won, wasn't a penalty.

[goalkick]

Bet he's there again on sat.

[Barmby Rover]

Hume booked for dissent, we can't afford that sort of booking with a small squad, fined a weeks wages? Should be.

[DonnyBazR0ver]

Come on Deano. Don't wait for the inevitable, make another positive change to take it to them.

[nice one rovers]

Paynter off / brown on.

[DonnyOsmond]

We've not won since November.

That is his 5th booking of season  so gets it out the way in a game he couldn't play in

Agreed, how basic is it to not get stupid yellows. Wages go to Rovers Youth. Just when he's got a new contract too.

Bennett off / husband on

Very clever if deliberate and true (not sure of exact wording of laws on suspensions and if it is subtle enough to cover this sort of situation)

Edit: No it is simply stupid. I think after 1 January 10 yellows are needed for a suspension, i.e. no suspension for 5 yellows. So there was nothing to be gained.

[BillyStubbsTears]

Apparently in the first 35 mins of the second half, we've had 77% of the possession according to the PA.

It's just like watching Barca...

[BillyStubbsTears]

Dutch. It'll be deliberate.  Players have been doing it for years. I remember Paul Barnes doing it in this very week of the 02/03 promotion season. Last few minutes against Leigh, he chased half the length of the field to give the ref an earful. Picked up his 5th yellow card and missed the FA trophy match a week later.

 I'm amazed that the authorities don't clamp down on this.
