Todays team
Tommy Rowe is a late withdrawal due to a neck spasm

No ... Tommy Rowe ?

No ... Tommy Rowe ?
Late withdrawal because of a neck spasm
-
Just noticed Tom Anderson is on the bench, wasn’t expecting that
COYR
-
But no Younger and Seaman as well
Edit: Hope Knoyle and Tomlin can manage the full 90
-
Seaman was injured against Thorne
Younger ???
-
We have to be cursed. Surely.
-
Just noticed Tom Anderson is on the bench, wasn’t expecting that

and Faulkner + dedruchy ?
-
We are cursed can’t even play a competitive game before the injuries start.
Just hope it’s not a sign of things to come

It’s ok we have a good enough squad to cover injuries
-
:facepalm: Got to say, I am feeling a bit deflated now. Hopefully the team can pull something out of this, which would really lift everyones confidence.
:rtid: :scarf:
-
Anyone else got sound on ifollow
-
No sound for the away commentary. Home commentary is working.
-
Not yet
-
Bradford on, their press team aren't incompetent
-
thought we might have sorted I follow out by now

:rtid: :scarf:
hopefully nobody was injured in the pre-match kick about
-
Away commentary is on now.
-
Come on Donny !!!!
-
Ravenhill launching in, like father.....
-
Ravenhill lucky not to be red carded there
-
take him off before he gets sent off - to wound up, the ref will look to get him off now
-
He played the ball ,the ref caused it by not pulling up the first foul
-
Ravenhill lucky not to be red carded there
He was clattered by Smallwood earlier. Agree with an early sub
-
Clearly won the ball
But needs subbing, cos the ref will look to give him a second yellow
-
Cameras moved away from the treatment on i follow.
No doubt he is badly injured but it seemed Ravenhill got the ball well before he made contact.
-
Seemed as though Ravenhill got the ball and the Bradford player dived in too and came off worst.
-
Got the ball but was high and out of control. Lucky not to be sent off. Idiotic, not 10 mins into the new season. Now we've had to burn a sub after 15 mins.
-
I thought that, on the replay, Liam played the ball away well before the follow through that caught their player.
-
Ravenhill taken off. A smart move.
-
Ravenhill taken off. A smart move.
not so much a smart move as a stupid move to start him ...
we are very lucky we have a scottish ref making his debut in England and the ref doesnt want an albatross around his neck .. yet !!
-
Watched the Ravenhill challenge again. It was robust but I don’t think he dove in recklessly. Wasn’t one of those when the player is off the ground lunging in with both feet. Right to sub him though. The crowd would have got him sent off.
-

He wasn’t even off the floor, Bradford player was slightly later to the ball
-
Knoyle’s looking assured.
-
Forgotten how horrendous it is to follow a match via text commentary!
-
who’s the guy on ifollow have we had a change
-

Makes a change for it not to be horrendous watching it.

Not a good first half, Bradford on top, the disruption to the team not helping.

Great run by Miller

Never a foul.
-
It's a baptism of fire for young Liam. Unfortunate but could be the making of him.
-
So is Radio Sheffield doing all our matches now?
-
Stockport 3 nil down to barrow wtf
-
Im finding it quite amusing the commentary getting agitated over our supposed time wasting.
-
45+1' CHANCE! Tomlin finds space in the box and plays the ball to Miller, who works it onto his right foot before being denied by a good block by Critchlow.
0-0 | #BRADON | #DRFC

A last minute switch because of a technical hitch I think it said on Twitter
-
And that’s why they should have covered at leat one preseason game, iron out the potential issues
-
:facepalm:
-
Tomlin. Absolutely stupid. Never seen anything like it.
-
Tomlin … what a prick !!!
-
pathetic
-
Tomlin what the absolute f**k?
-
What an idiot, Tomlin sent off. This is Rovers now, not good news.
-
What did he do.?
-
Tomlin an fxxking idiot
-
f**k sake that’s why there were so many question marks about him!
0-0 would be huge now
-
Jesus.
-
Outrageous by Tomlin, absolute idiot.
-
f**king clown show. Absolutely horrific sending off. Stupid Kitson, bloke needs fining for that.
-
I mentioned he was a loose cannon..
-
We do not want cheating gits in a Rovers side.
And he will probably cost us the game … idiot!
-
And all we said was if we can keep the midfield together we have a chance - one game in, one injured, one sent off - a draw is a massive result now
-
f**king stupid from Tomlin!
-
What did he do.?
-
What did he do.?
Refused to back off for a free kick then brushed against a Bradford player and threw himself to the floor. Disgusting and embarrassing.
-
What did he do.?
Pissed the ref off with stupid antics. Needs to grow the f**k up as a senior pro.
-
Hoping for a fresh start but we find new ways to embarrass ourselves. Important we don’t get smashed now for confidence or else it’ll feel like last season again
-
He was stupid but the referee missed the Bradford player stand on Tomlins foot.
-
Just pathetic from Tomlin,
-
Well… I wonder what McSheffrey says to Tomlin at half time. I really have never seen anything like that in my life. What the hell was going through his mind? Utter madness.
Puts the entire team on the back foot for the second half.
I don’t know where he goes from here, Tomlin.
-
Jesus wept. Height of stupidity at a critical time.
-
In other news, it’s still 0-0 at half time
COYR
-
Should told to make his own way back to Donny,Mcsheffery looked pissed off when he got sent off
-
I think that is the most stupid sending off I’ve ever seen. He was basically asking to be sent off
-
we need some creativity that first half was awful, hopefully we can hang on for a point
-
We’re we doing ok before the sending off?
-
He's barely been in the game other than that chance for Miller.
Looks like a bollock dropped there, Jesus wept.....
-
What did he do.?
Refused to back off for a free kick then brushed against a Bradford player and threw himself to the floor. Disgusting and embarrassing.
He also kicked the ball away from a free kick position, got booked and then kicked the ball away again. Then came the theatricals when their player brushed past him. I would hope GM gives him a right bollocking at HT.
-
It's taken him 5 weeks to impress the management, his teammates and the fans and 30 seconds to alienate them all.
-
He is Gascoigne like - at times unbelievably brilliant, at others childish and rash. It sounded embarrassing, I cannot stand that kind of thing from any player. Fine him
-
He was stupid but the referee missed the Bradford player stand on Tomlins foot.
He didn't stand on his foot. Tomlin behaved like a d**khead. Full stop.
-
We’re we doing ok before the sending off?
No … never got going other than one chance for Miller who fluffed it.
-
It was a stamp but the two yellows were absolutely pathetic. He's not a child and should know much better. Wouldn't cry if he never played again after that.

Thing with Tomlin is he needs to be in a good head space to be productive. All the talk preseason looked looked like he was.
This could send his season south. Hope we get a result and he gets his shit together

I think we were holding our own. Its been a turgid game but Lee Tomlin wtf??? Its probably cost us a point now because of his nesbitt antics.
-
Dock wages.
No excuses.
-
Jesus wept. Height of stupidity at a critical time.
Yep, the boss pulled Ravenhill to calm the situation which was a big call so early on and then a senior pro does this. So much was good about pre season and so important to get off to a decent start with some early tough fixtures and then he implodes and rules himself out of selection whilst we’re already depleted with midfield injuries.
-

The Bradford player DID stand on his foot. Watch it again. Yes he behaved like a d**khead but he was quite justified in going down.

Was chatting to some Walsall fans a couple of weeks ago, they've heard all the noises from him on signing for them. They did say he'll produce moments you'll never forget but then also go missing for games on end. They were smiling as they wished us good luck with him....

Stupid from Tomlin, but that's a referee determined to send somebody off after cocking one up earlier.
-
I think it was a sound away performance until that embarrassment.
-
Tell him to go home and not bother turning up again. Rovers can do without players like that.
-
Hope this is not an indication of what’s to come this season. Are we expecting to much ?

Yes, he did stand on his foot...deliberately. Their lad knew what he was doing but his theatrics made it look worse but, I can understand why he wanted to highlight it to the ref....ironically the ref was stood too close to him to see it.
-
hmmm, not sure what to think now, that is a card offence by the Bradford player - if I was GMC I would be in the refs office and show him that.

so much for my theory i was sat downstairs watching the text on sky having lunch and that came up
a "tomlin order" !!! to be sent off ffs
-
Yes, the Bradford player stands on his foot, but you don’t go down like that. All you can say is the lad had a rush of blood and was incredibly stupid.
He needs to come out an make an apology to Rovers fans.
-
Pushing the ball away and the. Kicking the ball away probably deserved two yellows of their own.
This is not what we want when trying to rebuild.
-
I can’t believe what I have seen. Yellow card for kicking the ball away - fair enough. Then to instantly do it again before that ridiculous simulation.
He left the ref no choice
Does he not want to play for us??

Bradford fans throwing stuff at Mitchell.

Can’t fault the ref having seen that. It’s a second yellow anyway for immediately kicking the ball away having already been carded.
What a stupid Kitson..
He’s got a lot of making up to do.

Roll on the Women’s European Championship Final tomorrow…you won’t see anything resembling Tomlin’s reaction in that game. Thoroughly disgraceful.

I think he knew he had pushed it too far and lost his head, then a Bradford player clearly stamps on him, and he see’s that as an opportunity to try and confuse the ref.

Agreed. Initially reported as items. I was thinking something worse than paper.

Would you pull them off one at a time, or all at once?
-
After a big dose of over-optimism, we get hit by injury, rash inexperience and poor judgment of temperament of what is supposedly an experienced player. With the extra injuries we seem to have picked up from pre-season it changes perspective somewhat.

Bear in mind, that in similar circumstances last season, we'd be 4 down by now.

I can imagine the Bradford forum will be in absolute meltdown this evening. We are no longer a soft touch, it’s fair to say.
-
Exactly Mugnapper
-
Anderson on, Hurst of and got booked for taking his time.
-
There’s a youth that’s behind the goal throwing satsuma’s or oranges at Mitchell, surely the stewards can see that, he must have brought a sack full with him.
-
Harratt is a threat need to watch him, good striker. Must have plenty of money chucking oranges.

This ref sounds a right Wazzack!
I feel like we're waiting for the inevitable

Still think we can nick this .

Smash & grab by Miller on 90 mins!

The shots stats are in our favour. They have had 14 with only two on tgt. We are 3 and 1

It’ll be a massive point all things considered.
Just hold on lads…

Would have taken that before KO, so it's made all the more special.

A good point in that situation. Thought we could go there and win before the game. The sending off stopped us doing that. Plus is the defence kept a clean sheet.
-
In my book, that’s a victory. Tomlin aside, this is a good start

Pfft, bloody rubbish Rovers, I remember winning in Bradford with 9 men :lol: :lol: :lol:
Seriously though, good to have a team with fight and organisation :scarf: :scarf: :scarf:
-
Well, that was well feisty. On that performance we will be very hard to beat this season. Well fought for the point but there were some very unsavoury aspects to that game. From both sides.
-
Great result. Showed some fight and some nouse. Weve missed that!
-
Well the stars don't make particularly good reading but we would have lost a game like that last season. Dug in for a hard earned point

That is a massive point considering Tomlin getting sent off

Great effort from Rovers to get a point there with 10 men. Good for team spirit, it bodes well.

Now recover for next week no Tomlin let’s hope Rowe recovers no other players in the attacking midfield are available as yet.
-
tremendous defending in 2nd half
-
Great result. Well done Gary Mc and a great use of substitutes today. A game we would 100% have lost last season.
-
Can't see Mark Hughes being happy with that.
-
That would have been a heavy defeat last season, the lads on the pitch dug deep, Tomlin needs to buy everyone of them a drink
-
Those boring Radio Leeds commentators and their constant moaning about Rovers supposed time wasting all game and all commentators at it in the end. With our 10 players it was surely up to Bradford to control the game.
-
Can't see Mark Hughes being happy with that.
He wasn't happy all game.

Tomlin needs to be made to train with the u9's.

-
First game of the season, if you can’t win it, don’t lose it and that’s what the team has done today. Plenty of fight, football aware with the time wasting, we complain bitterly when it’s against us, but I’m happy we’ve done it today.
Onwards and upwards

Harratt sent off for apparently clipping Mitchell round the head at full time.
That was an insane couple of hours…
Pick the bones out of that lot.
Firstly, well done Rovers.
Truly some fight and spirit to grind out that one after being left right in the sh*t by Tomlin, who needs to take a long look at himself after those few moments of madness. Petulant to not retreat. When that free kick was given he sarcastically applauded the ref, as Tom Biltcliffe noted on commentary. I think the red mist came down and he refused to retreat. Yellow card. Then he kicks the ball away which should have been the red, or maybe was… Then the Bradford player comes in, gives him a little dig in the kidney and steps on his foot. Ref misses that but Tomlin goes down like he’s been shot. Embarrassing really. Utterly embarrassing. Be interesting to see GMc’s comments on that. He’s got talent but we don’t need those antics. Somebody mentioned Gazza - definitely a similar mental element there.
Second half… total backs to the wall stuff. Could have nicked it with a header from Oluwu and a smart save.
It’s refreshing to see some mettle and a willingness to be a bit nasty when needed. We’re going to need that this season, and we’ve seen do many teams do that to us.
To say that a few young players had to be blooded there, a fine well earned point.
And I don’t think Ravenhill’s challenge was bad at all, watching it over. One of those things that happen in games. But the reaction of the crowd and the Bradford players, McSheffrey was correct to sub him. Ref would have been under intense pressure to red card him for the slightest further infringement.
A baptism of fire for that referee, for sure.
I think a few more Bradford players could have been booked too. He missed some aggressive stuff. Mitchell getting booked was crazy - given that the Bradford player was basically assaulting him to get the ball back.
And then a red at the end for Harratt hitting Mitchell at the final whistle.
Insane game.
Great point. We’re not a soft touch this season.

A bit embarrassing from Tomlin but probably the softest red card you'll ever see. If you're going to send Tomlin off you should send the Bradford player off for violent conduct if you're going to the letter of the law. The Bradford player has conned the ref.
