Lovely day for it. Hope a few more decide to go and watch TLO Doncaster. Will Copps have his Friend in a tis? I think so. I think it will be a gradual build up of pressure with Boro running out of ideas. Hard fought 1-0 win.

 DMC!

I see you've joined the VSC, I reckon you must be the first Rovers supporter to join the trust without ever having stepped foot in Doncaster!

Edit: does this mean we're now big time Charlies, since we are officially attracting an international fan base?

Bit surprised about Turnbull. So he's injured?

Let's hope Johnstone can show what he's made of. 6'3" is a start.

Football logic

We arsehole Wigan

Wigan comfortably hold Middlesborough to a draw.

We arsehole Charlton

Charlton are beating Wigan

Logical conclusion for us against Boro?

Regular as clockwork Dutch. Refs allow a succession of niggly game-breaking-up fouls without sanction. Then book Wellens when he looks to impose himself on the game.

0-0 at half time. Somebody from Rovers need to score a goal in second half

Frimpong, booked at first with the ref trying to assert himself, then a second yellow for a foul that did deserve it. Shite reffing, unlucky but means he'll miss the game against us :)

Wellens' yellow was fully deserved after he chopped down their player following a spell of play with several fouls not given - it looked like frustration but a certain yellow and on another day may have been red.

Brown's miss?  A low hard cross by Sharp only needed a touch but Brown was at full stretch.  In the end he got too much on it whereas a scuff would have put it in the net.  Talk was he was offside anyway. 

Sharp not at his best, but it is early day for him - he didn't really have much chance to do much in front of goal anyway.

Overall a tough match, with Boro providing harder opposition then Wigan or Charlton.  Both sides more or less cancelled each other out, so it was a little scrappy but a great test for us.  A point won IMHO.

just watch the highlights on youtube and Duffy was unlucky not to get clipped and a penalty by this dreadful tackle (fast forward to 26s):

Brown was very unlucky as well (1m23s)
